Book Revolution To Remember

  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Revolution To Remember written by Scott Stevenson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-09-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mexican Revolution was a major revolution that comprised several armies' local conflicts rather than a single cohesive war. It eliminated the Federal Force and replaced it with an inventive force, transforming Mexican civilization and governance at the same time. It also resulted in the promulgation of a new constitution that included the revolutionaries' utopian ideas. Political independence was not the goal of the battle for independence. Unlike their northern counterparts, Mexican revolutionaries sought to reshape their civilization. The rebellion's leaders said from the start that if it were only a political event, it would be incomplete, if not pointless. Scott Stevenson gives a well-rounded overview of nineteenth-century Mexico's complicated and turbulent political landscape but pays special emphasis to the early phases of the insurrection under the priests Miguel Hidalgo and José Mara Morelos. Hidalgo vowed to abolish slavery immediately and focus his pleas on the poor, but he also sanctioned looting and terrible acts of brutality. This brutality would eventually cost Hidalgo, Morelos, and the entire country dearly, resulting in the revolution's inability to achieve substantial social and political progress. While Mexico achieved independence from Spain, serious socioeconomic inequities persisted and would fester for another century. Stevenson expertly recounts the important leaders and struggles, compelling us to reevaluate what "independence" meant and means now in Mexico.

Book Days of National Festivity in Rio de Janeiro  Brazil  1823   1889

Download or read book Days of National Festivity in Rio de Janeiro Brazil 1823 1889 written by Hendrik Kraay and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-29 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Official and popular celebrations marked the Brazilian empire's days of national festivity, and these civic rituals were the occasion for often intense debate about the imperial regime. Hendrik Kraay explores the patterns of commemoration in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, the meanings of the principal institutions of the constitutional monarchy established in 1822–24 (which were celebrated on days of national festivity), and the challenges to the imperial regime that took place during the festivities. While officialdom and the narrow elite sought to control civic rituals, the urban lower classes took an active part in them, although their popular festivities were not always welcomed by the elite. Days of National Festivity is the first book to provide a systematic analysis of civic ritual in a Latin American country over a long period of time—and in doing so, it offers new perspectives on the Brazilian empire, elite and popular politics, and urban culture.

Book Voices of the U S  Latino Experience  3 volumes

Download or read book Voices of the U S Latino Experience 3 volumes written by Rodolfo F. Acuña Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-08-30 with total page 1242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history and experiences of the diverse groups labeled Latinos in this country are abundantly documented in this major new collection. From the Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1803 to remembrances of life on the frontier, to the Young Lords platform of 1969, to a discussion of Latinos and the war on Iraq today, this 3-volume collection showcases more than 400 crucial primary documents from and concerning the major Latino groups in the United States. Sources include letters, memoirs, speeches, articles, essays, interviews, treaties, government reports, testimony, and more. The voices include whites as well as Latinos, prominent and obscure, and Americans as well as foreigners. The bulk of the primary documents concern Mexico and the United States and Mexican Americans, who paved the way for immigrants from Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Central and South America to come. The scope also includes primary documents pertaining to events in Latin American and Caribbean history that have had an impact on these groups. Each primary document has a short introduction, placing it in historical and cultural context. An introduction that gives an historical overview, a chronology, a selected bibliography chock full of useful websites, and a set index provide added value. Sample documents: memoirs of early Texas, commentary by a Mexican diplomat on the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo of 1848, essay on the social condition of New Mexico in 1852, Cuban independence leader Jose Marti in New York on race (1894), El Corrido de Gregorio Cortez— a ballad about a Mexican who stood up to the Texas Rangers in 1901, excerpts from an autobiography by Ella Winter on school segregation in the 1930s, a Latino soldier's reminiscences of World War II, testimony from a Bracero worker in the 1950s, article on Cuban Miami in the 1960s, socioeconomic profile of Dominicans in the United States in 2000, interview with Subcomandante Marcos from the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.
