Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glance at Latin American Civilization Latin American civilization from an Anglo Saxon point of view may be found Wanting in many respects, but the life and happiness of nations, the ideals and hopes of their peoples, their legislation and institutions, are not to be found ready made, but have to be worked out to meet peculiar wants, and in accordance with the racial, mental, moral and material resources and necessities of each. We must deal with Latin America as a whole if we wish to cast a rapid glance at its civilization. Some' of the twenty free and independent states which in their aggregate make up Latin America have developed more than others, and a few marvelously so, but whether north or south of the Panama Canal, east or west, on the Atlantic or the Pacific, on the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico, the countries of Latin America sprang from the same race - the brave, hardy, adventurous, romantic and warlike Spanish and Portuguese conquerors, who fought their way through unknown territories, whether in quest of El Dorado or in warfare against whole nations of Indians, as in the case of Mexico and Peru, where the native Indians had a marvelous civilization of their own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Latin American Civilization Scholars are notorious for being the victims of their own en thusiasms and prejudices and for considering that their own dic tums in their respective fields of interest constitute the last word of authority. But any scholar who asserts that he can select from literally thousands of documents the most appropriate supple mentary reading material for the use of students is necessarily a genius - or a prevaricator.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Latin-American History It may be that proper appreciation of the existing mutual dependence can arrive only through the strengthening of the economic bonds already created. A study of our commercial relations With Latin America shows that the two Americas are essentially inter - dependent. For that reason, a considerable portion of the accompanying syllabus has been devoted to such considerations, in the hope that through the study of this prae tical basis of inter-american relations there may arise a Pan American consciousness of common aims and interests, to which this little book is sincerely dedicated.

I am under oh ligations to members of the staff of the University of Illinois Library because of their constant courtesy and helpfulness to me in the use of the valuable collection of latin-american books in that Library.

Download or read book Keen s Latin American Civilization Volume 1 written by Robert M. Buffington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tenth edition of Keen's Latin American Civilization inaugurates a new era in the history of this classic anthology by dividing it into two volumes. This first volume retains most of the colonial period sources from the ninth edition but with some significant additions including two new sets of images (representations of Brazilian cannibals and 'casta paintings' of mixed race families), an alternative conquest narrative, two new readings on imperial governance, and three new readings on gender and sexuality, including selections from the autobiography of a Spanish nun who took on a male persona to fight as a soldier in the American colonies. The 88 excerpts in volume one provides foundational and often riveting first-hand accounts of life in colonial Latin America. Concise introductions for chapters and excerpts provide essential context for understanding the primary sources.
Download or read book Latin American Civilization written by Benjamin Keen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of Latin American Civilization is a compact update of a classic book of readings that teachers and students of Latin American history have used and appreciated since its first appearance in 1955. Returning to the single-volume format, this edition combines the best of the old collection with new material on recent developments in Latin American politics and society. Particular care has been taken to bring the chapters on the twentieth century up to date. Among the new selections are pieces on the Church’s role in the Nicaraguan revolution, the Malvinas/Falklands war, the struggle for democracy in Argentina and Brazil, and women’s liberation in Cuba. The great majority of selections are primary materials. These personal narratives—many translated by Dr. Keen for this collection—convey the flavor and spirit of a period more vividly than official documents and are generally better written. Secondary works are used only when suitable contemporary material was not available. The brief introductions and headnotes, which provide students with background information on the authors and subject matter, have been updated to reflect the best recent scholarship. This lively, entertaining, and informative book is an excellent companion for all texts on Latin American history, although its organization and outlook conform most closely to that of Keen and Wasserman’s Short History of Latin America.

Download or read book A Guide to the Art of Latin America Classic Reprint written by Robert Chester Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Art of Latin America The fact that no such book exists is indeed the principal justification for this bibliography. The reader must search among a multitude of articles and rare publications for the scattered information which will give a picture of the whole. Many items included here may seem out side the subject; but Latin American art is an undeveloped field, and we must look to authors writing on other matters for information and suggestions. For example, there is not one book or article which deals thoroughly with the colonial art of Bolivia, although Bolivia in that period produced some of the most original and interesting work of the whole Spanish American empire. In such a situation, any publication which contains good photographs or exact descriptions, or which can shed light on any aspect of colonial life in Bolivia, is valuable. In this larger sense, there is a good deal of information available in print, and the size of this bibliography - already selective - has surprised the editors. Naturally the principle of selection has varied for each country with the material available in the field of art, and such collateral reading has been admitted more sparingly in the case of countries like Mexico and the Argentine which ofier richer bibliographies of art.

Download or read book Spanish America from the Earliest Period to the Present Time Classic Reprint written by Julian Hawthorne and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish America From the Earliest Period to the Present Time The close of this century witnesses a remarkable dramatic episode in the war between the United States and Spain, which has just been brought to an end. One of the oldest and once most powerful States of Europe, now worn out, and bowed with feebleness, relinquishes the empire in the west and in the east which it has held during four centuries, and retires within its original boundaries. And into its place, the inheritor of its burdens and responsibilities, steps the newest and strongest nation of the modern world, erect and confident, with the boundless future lying fair before it. It is a vivid illustration of Tennyson's profound apothegm - "The old Order changeth, giving place to new, And God fulfils Himself in many ways." It is an opportune moment in which to pass in review the history of Spain's acquisition of her colonial empire, of the manner of her administration of it, and of the way she lost it. In the following pages an attempt has been made to throw upon the screen the series of pictures which tell the tale. It is not "a tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Sound and fury indeed it contains in abundance; but its significance is deep and tragic, and its moral weighty.
