Book excerpt: ?En definitiva, Historia oculta de la Conquista de América es un libro indispensable para entender los verdaderos sucesos que ocurrieron, al margen de las versiones oficiales, durante este importante momento histórico. En la obra el lector descubrirá muchos hechos que fueron determinantes y que no han sido contados ni revelados por la historia oficial narrados de forma objetiva aspectos tanto positivos como negativos de cada uno de los protagonistas.? (Web Comparte libros) ?Historia oculta de la conquista de América, de Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo, donde se abordan los hechos omitidos de la historia oficial y la leyenda negra del Descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo, que esconde gran cantidad de situaciones no divulgadas, hechos cuyas dobleces determinaron el destino final de los acontecimientos, paradojas que muchos recopiladores dejaron en el tintero.? (Revista Enigmas) La conquista de América estuvo plagada de historias que, pese a ser fundamentales para el devenir de los acontecimientos, no se recuerdan porque no han formado parte de la historia oficial. Historia oculta de la conquista de América pretende rescatar aquellos hechos que tuvieron relevancia para el desarrollo de la conquista de América y para la posterior configuración tanto de las fronteras sudamericanas como de la propia identidad hispanoamericana. Son hechos olvidados por la distancia temporal entre aquellos hombres y nosotros, o también ninguneados por aquellos que pretendieron acrecentar su fama u ocultar sus delitos, no obstante algunos de ellos, como la incidencia de las enfermedades en colonos e indígenas o las diversas leyendas y expediciones en busca de El Dorado, son fundamentales para comprender cómo se realizó la conquista de América y qué puntos de contacto entre españoles y americanos han formado la identidad hispanoamericana. Reúne Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo una ingente cantidad de información tomada de las propias crónicas de los europeos que servirá para que comprendamos los pormenores de la conquista de América. Veremos cómo las enfermedades ayudaron a Cortés y a Pizarro en sus conquistas de Tenochtitlán o de Cuzco, pero hubo otras epidemias que afectaron a ambos bandos como el tifus o la influenza, y aún hubo otras como la malaria, la fiebre amarilla o el paludismo que diezmaron sólo a los colonos; tampoco se ha dado mucha importancia en la historia oficial al papel de los perros de guerra que utilizaron los españoles, los alanos, y que permitieron, en muchos casos, vencer a los numerosos ejércitos americanos; también nos detallará episodios apasionantes como la búsqueda de El Dorado que se convirtió en una auténtica aventura exploratoria, o los distintos casos de canibalismo en las filas españolas; pero, dentro del horror que marca las batallas de la conquista, encontrará el autor un hueco para las relaciones amorosas y amistosas, que también han quedado recogidas, entre españoles y americanos. Razones para comprar la obra: - La obra destapa muchos hechos que son desconocidos para el público ya que no forman parte de la historia oficial pese a que son determinantes. - El tratamiento de la información y de los personajes es imparcial y no reduce la historia a simples batallas con vencedores y vencidos. - Las fuentes de información son las crónicas de indias, de las que el autor saca testimonios directos. - La división, temática y, dentro de ella, cronológica, ayuda a comprender la obra y da una perspectiva más global de la estancia española entre los indígenas. Desde la propia etimología de América, la relación entre la crónica oficial y la realidad del descubrimiento y la conquista del continente americano, no ha sido unívoca, sino que ha estado mediada por interpretaciones y silencios que han arrojado a los márgenes de la historia los relatos que este libro saca a la luz.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La verdadera historia de la conquista de América sigue siendo, aún hoy, un verdadero interrogante para los lectores. Lejos de llegar a un acuerdo, historiadores y académicos disputan ideológicamente y encubren sucesos en función de sus intereses. Lo cierto es que ni el "genocidio de los nativos", ni el "bálsamo de los civilizadores" dan cuenta de lo que en realidad ocurrió en la conquista del Nuevo Mundo.

Download or read book Conflict in the Early Americas written by Rebecca M. Seaman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed study is the only reference work of its kind to address Spain's conquest of Central and South America, providing in-depth coverage of native and European ideologies, political motivations, and cultural practices of the region. As the study of world history evolves from a Eurocentric perspective to a more global viewpoint, formerly marginalized groups are now the focus of discussion, revealing a background rich with important military, political, social, and economic achievements. This book examines the once prosperous and powerful native civilizations in Central and South America, discussing the key individuals, strategies, and politics that made these countries strong and indomitable. In spite of this, the author shows how, in only a few generations, Spain defeated these mini-empires, eventually dominating much of the Western Hemisphere. Conflict in the Early Americas: An Encyclopedia of the Spanish Empire's Aztec, Incan, and Mayan Conquests focuses primarily on the defeat of the Aztec, Incan, and Mayan civilizations, but also includes Spanish interactions with lesser-known native groups. Supporting documents including primary sources, maps, and visual aids provide necessary context to this once-untold story.

Download or read book El Salvador written by Salvador Nunez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why El Salvador - Hidden Truths? In writing this book, I propose to explore these Salvadoran histories, pages hidden in dust which we have been denied by the economic power and its Governments since the time of the Spanish Invasion. We have systematically been denied the truth of this history, which is part of our being as the original peoples, which belongs to us, to our identity. We have been robbed and badly treated for more than 528 years; which has caused trauma and suffering across our lives. And so I undertook to look beneath the debris of the past with its enigmas to find the truth in our past history from our ancestors, colonization, independence, the first peoples uprisings, genocide and ethnocide against our ancestors. As well as crimes against humanity. The role of the Catholic Church, in the colonisation and imposition of Christianity and its Holy Inquisition. I also want you to be prepared, because in this book you will encounter many surprises and facts which are going to collide with your beliefs and notions of being human. I am not talking about to be Christians, because that is much deeper. But of the cruelty of the Spanish conquerors, with the lies and falsehoods with which the Salvadorans have been educated. Honour and Glory brothers and sisters: Nahuas, Maya, Lencas Chortis, Pocomames, Xincas, Kakawiras, Chorotegas and Izalcos who offered their blood for us and future generations. This Lent without resurrection to which our ancestors were subjected to, began with the Spanish Invasion and has continued till this day in 2020. What you will find in the following pages, are not sweet nor cheap announcements from the Salvadoran power base, in its communication mediums: Newspaper, Television, digital media and many other lying media. For the first time, there are voices of our ancestors in the presence of our current generations- the grandfathers and grandmothers, the young and their actual leaders.

Download or read book Female Amerindians in Early Modern Spanish Theater written by Gladys Robalino and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female Amerindians in Early Modern Spanish Theater is a collection of essays that focuses on the female Amerindian characters in comedias based on the discovery, exploration, and conquest of America. This book emerges as a response to the limited number of studies that focus on these characters, and more importantly, on the function of these characters as theatrical artifacts within conquest plays. Conquest plays are about a handful, their heroes are the European male conquerors, yet ‘the Amerindian’ has attracted attention from critics for the value as constructs of cultural discourse. We see this character, the ‘theatrical Indian,’ as a construct, an instrument, in many ways, a spectacular artifact of the baroque tramoya, which emerges from the conversion point of the Counterreformation ideology. It has been our purpose here to advance the study of these characters by adding a gender perspective. Therefore, while sociological and cultural studies are still a fundamental part of the theoretical framework of this project, we use feminism as a critical matrix in our inquiries. Amerindian female characters stand apart from male Amerindians and Spanish women in dramas, which, we believe, make them worthy of individual attention. The articles in this collection delineate different representations of Amerindian women and, as a whole, this book contributes to a better understanding of the dramatic use of these characters.

Download or read book Chimalpahin s Conquest written by Susan Schroeder and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-19 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the story of Hernando Cortés's conquest of Mexico, as recounted by a contemporary Spanish historian and edited by Mexico's premier Nahua historian. Francisco López de Gómara's monumental Historia de las Indias y Conquista de México was published in 1552 to instant success. Despite being banned from the Americas by Prince Philip of Spain, La conquista fell into the hands of the seventeenth-century Nahua historian Chimalpahin, who took it upon himself to make a copy of the tome. As he copied, Chimalpahin rewrote large sections of La conquista, adding information about Emperor Moctezuma and other key indigenous people who participated in those first encounters. Chialpahin's Conquest is thus not only the first complete modern English translation of López de Gómara's La conquista, an invaluable source in itself of information about the conquest and native peoples; it also adds Chimalpahin's unique perspective of Nahua culture to what has traditionally been a very Hispanic portrayal of the conquest.

Download or read book The Awakening of Latin America written by Ernesto Che Guevara and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2023-12-26 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic anthology on Latin America shows the Argentine-born revolutionary's cultural depth, rigorous intellect, and intense emotional engagement with a continent and its people. In a letter to his mother in 1954, a young Ernesto Guevara wrote, “The Americas will be the theater of my adventures in a way that is much more significant than I would have believed.” In The Awakening of Latin America we have the story of those adventures, charting Che’s evolution from an impressionable young medical student to the “heroic guerrilla,” assassinated in cold blood in Bolivia. Spanning seventeen years, this anthology draws on from his family’s personal archives and offers the best of Che’s writing: examples of his journalism, essays, speeches, letters, and even poems. As Che documents his early travels through Latin America, his involvement in the Guatemalan and Cuban revolutions, and his rise to international prominence under Fidel Castro, we see how his fervent commitment to social justice shaped and was shaped by the continent he called home.

Download or read book A People s History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-01-26 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It’s a wonderful, splendid book—a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future.” —Howard Fast, author of Spartacus and The Immigrants “[It] should be required reading.” —Eric Foner, New York Times Book Review Library Journal calls Howard Zinn’s iconic A People's History of the United States “a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those…whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories.” Packed with vivid details and telling quotations, Zinn’s award-winning classic continues to revolutionize the way American history is taught and remembered. Frequent appearances in popular media such as The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Good Will Hunting, and the History Channel documentary The People Speak testify to Zinn’s ability to bridge the generation gap with enduring insights into the birth, development, and destiny of the nation.

Download or read book The Diario of Christopher Columbus s First Voyage to America 1492 1493 written by and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive edition of Columbus's account of the voyage presents the most accurate printed version of his journal available to date. Unfortunately both Columbus's original manuscript, presented to Ferdinand and Isabella along with other evidence of his discoveries, and a single complete copy have been lost for centuries. The primary surviving record of the voyage-part quotation, part summary of the complete copy-is a transcription made by Bartolome de las Casas in the 1530s. This new edition of the Las Casas manuscript presents its entire contents-including notes, insertions, and canceled text-more accurately, completely, and graphically than any other Spanish text published so far. In addition, the new translation, which strives for readability and accuracy, appears on pages facing the Spanish, encouraging on-the- spot comparisons of the translation with the original. Study of the work is further facilitated by extensive notes, documenting differences between the editors' transcription and translation and those of other transcribers and translators and summarizing current research and debates on unanswered current research and debates on unanswered questions concerning the voyage. In addition to being the only edition in which Spanish and English are presented side by side, this edition includes the only concordance ever prepared for the Diario. Awaited by scholars, this new edition will help reduce the guesswork that has long plagued the study of Columbus's voyage. It may shed light on a number of issues related to Columbus's navigational methods and the identity of his landing places, issues whose resolution depend, at least in part, on an accurate transcription of the Diario. Containing day-by-day accounts of the voyage and the first sighting of land, of the first encounters with the native populations and the first appraisals of his islands explored, and of a suspenseful return voyage to Spain, the Diario provides a fascinating and useful account to historians, geographers, anthropologists, sailors, students, and anyone else interested in the discovery-or in a very good sea story. Oliver Dunn received the PH.D. degree from Cornell University. He is Professor Emeritus in Purdue University and a longtime student of Spanish and early history of Spanish America. James E. Kelley, Jr., received the M.A. degree from American University. A mathematician and computer and management consultant by vocation, for the past twenty years he has studied the history of European cartography and navigation in late-medieval times. Both are members of the Society for the History of Discoveries and have written extensively on the history of navigation and on Columbus's first voyage, Although they remain unconvinced of its conclusions, both were consultants to the National geographic Society's 1986 effort to establish Samana Cay as the site of Columbus's first landing.

Download or read book Beyond Mestizaje written by Tania Islas Weinstein and published by Amherst College Press. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racism has historically been a taboo topic in Mexico. This is largely due to the nationalist project of mestizaje which contends that because all Mexicans are racially mixed, race is not a salient political issue. In recent years, however, race and racism have become important topics of debate in the country’s public sphere and academia. This book introduces readers to a sample of these diverse and sometimes conflicting views that also intersect with discussions of class. The activists and scholars included in the volume come from fields such as anthropology, linguistics, history, sociology, and political science. Through these diverse epistemological frameworks, the authors show how people in contemporary Mexico interpret the world in racial terms and denounce racism.

Download or read book La otra esclavitud written by Andrés Reséndez and published by Grano de Sal. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los esclavos en América parecen tener un solo rostro: el de los africanos convertidos en mercancía, secuestrados de su lugar de origen y forzados brutalmente a trabajar en el Nuevo Mundo. Pero a esa atroz historia hay que sumar la del sometimiento que se impuso a los pueblos indígenas americanos, ejercido tanto en tiempos prehispánicos como durante el periodo colonial, con denominaciones que lo hacían digerible, como encomiendas o repartimientos. A esa otra esclavitud dedica Andrés Reséndez este volumen pionero, sin duda el más completo sobre esta forma extrema de violencia laboral y social. El lector viajará del Caribe al suroeste de los actuales Estados Unidos, pasando por Mesoamérica y por esa áspera región habitada por pueblos nómadas y guerreros, y en ese recorrido se revelarán las características locales —siguiendo la macabra fórmula con la que se nombró a la servidumbre involuntaria— de esta "peculiar institución", por ejemplo el interés de los comerciantes sobre todo en mujeres y niños. Al adentrarse en un asunto a menudo pasado por alto, Reséndez revela una faceta feroz de las sociedades americanas. La otra esclavitud obtuvo el Premio Bancroft de la Universidad de Columbia en 2017 y fue finalista en el National Book Awards en 2016.

Download or read book Spain written by Robert Goodwin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golden Age of the Spanish Empire would establish five centuries of Western supremacy across the globe and usher in an era of transatlantic exploration that eventually gave rise to the modern world. It was a time of discovery and adventure, of great political and social change-it was a time when Spain learned to rule the world. Assembling a spectacular cast of legendary characters like the Duke of Alba, El Greco, Miguel de Cervantes, and Diego Velázquez, Robert Goodwin brings the Spanish Golden Age to life with the vivid clarity and gripping narrative of an epic novel. From scholars and playwrights, to poets and soldiers, Goodwin is in complete command of the history of this tumultuous and exciting period. But the superstars alone will not tell the whole tale-Goodwin delves deep to find previously unrecorded sources and accounts of how Spain's Golden Age would unfold, and ultimately, unravel. Spain is a sweeping and revealing portrait of Spain at the height of its power and a world at the dawn of the modern age.
