early Latin America with particular emphasis on the Andean region. She is
the author of Trading Roles: Gender, Ethnicity, and the Urban Economy, Potosí, 1545 1700 (Durham: Duke University Press, 2005).
Trading Roles is
a social history of trade in Spain's biggest silver mining town in the New
World with special emphasis on the roles of native Andeans and women in the
city's economy. In addition, Mangan is the editor of José de Acosta, Natural
