Sugar estates of the Lambayeque Valley, 1670 - 1800 : a contribution to Peruvian agrarian history
This socioeconomic analysis of six sugar estates in Peru"s Lambayeque Valley from 1670 to 1800, derived from historical and archival sources, points to the important role these haciendas played in the colonial economy and refutes the stereotype of the hacienda as a self-sufficient, isolated, and unchanging institution.

Abstract
The analysis traces the prosperous era of the sugar estates from 1670 to 1720 and then relates these circumstances -- economic (changes in the market), ecological (devastating floods), and social -- which brought about the stagnation and the decline of the estates from 1720 to 1800.
