66. The Enlightened Patrolman - An Interview with Nicole von Germeten

In today's episode I speak to Nicole von Germeten about her new book The Enlightened Patrolman. The Enlightened Patrolmen focuses on a proto-police force in Colonial Mexico City, and uses primary sources to examine both the day to day lives of these men, and the larger socio-political ideas behind their work. In the process it brings the streets of the city to life, providing a fascinating glimpse of what it might have been life to venture out onto the city streets of the Northern Hemisphere’s largest city two hundred years ago.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-latin-american-history-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
