Book Los m  rgenes de la esclavitud  Resistencia  control y abolici  n en el Caribe y Am  rica Latina

Download or read book Los m rgenes de la esclavitud Resistencia control y abolici n en el Caribe y Am rica Latina written by Consuelo Naranjo Orovio and published by Dykinson. This book was released on 2021 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los márgenes de la esclavitud: resistencia, control y abolición en el Caribe y América Latina reúne ensayos que indagan distintos aspectos de la esclavitud africana en América Latina y el Caribe relacionados con las experiencias de los esclavizados, de los amos y de las autoridades. También se ocupa de la justificación de la esclavitud que se hizo desde distintos sectores, contenida en discursos, leyes e imágenes que construyeron un imaginario y formas de actuación que afloraron y perviven en la práctica cotidiana. A lo largo de la obra subyace la discriminación racial, al ser un fenómeno importante de las sociedades esclavistas y racializadas. El color de la piel fue uno de los factores que estableció las diferencias sociales, económicas y culturales, y generó percepciones, temores y rechazos. Un bloque importante de estudios se centra en la esclavitud como una institución jurídica sujeta a una compleja regulación. Reales órdenes, bandos de buen gobierno, decretos, reglamentos y códigos que se fueron dictando lo largo de los siglos formaron un complejo cuerpo legislativo de gran interés y utilidad para conocer el sistema esclavista desde el interior, así como los resquicios que dejó a los siervos para luchar por sus derechos. El esclavo no fue un sujeto pasivo. La documentación nos habla de la posibilidad que tenían de solicitar algún derecho o por ejemplo de cambiar de dueño. La manumisión estuvo presente desde el ordenamiento de las sociedades esclavistas hispanoamericanas en el siglo XVI como parte de la tradición jurídica romana y castellana. En las diferentes regiones que integraron el vasto imperio colonial se fue formando un estrato de “hombres de color” libres que adquirió importancia dentro del conjunto poblacional de origen africano en el transcurso de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Su reglamentación abarcó cualquier acción y ámbito relacionados con la esclavitud y los esclavos. Las normativas jurídicas en la mayoría de los casos hacían alusión o se centraban directamente en la necesidad de mantener la vigilancia y disciplina para preservar la seguridad pública y el orden. El temor a una rebelión de esclavos en el Caribe fue una constante en los gobernantes tras la Revolución de Saint-Domingue de 1791. Seguridad pública y orden se convirtieron en consignas especialmente tras la revolución de los esclavos cuya carga simbólica, por otra parte, recorrió la región alcanzando a las zonas en las que la esclavitud era el motor de la economía. A principios del siglo XIX algunas potencias europeas comenzaron a aplicar medidas que condujeron a la abolición, un proceso en el que intervinieron distintos agentes y factores de carácter económico, político, ideológico y socio-culturales. El análisis del proceso abolicionista también se realiza teniendo en cuenta el marco jurídico de la legislación que emanó de las Cortes de Cádiz en 1812 y de las leyes abolicionistas que para el caso de Puerto Rico y Cuba se dictaron en la década de 1870. Tras el fin de la esclavitud, la incorporación de los ex esclavos a la nación fueron procesos de larga duración en los que interactuaron diferentes agentes y factores, económicos, sociales, políticos, ideológicos y culturales.

Book The Reception of Darwinism in the Iberian World

Download or read book The Reception of Darwinism in the Iberian World written by T.F Glick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Twenty-five years ago, at the Conference on the Comparative Reception of Darwinism held at the University of Texas in 1972, only two countries of the Iberian world-Spain and Mexico-were represented.' At the time, it was apparent that the topic had attracted interest only as regarded the "mainstream" science countries of Western Europe, plus the United States. The Eurocentric bias of professional history of science was a fact. The sea change that subsequently occurred in the historiography of science makes 1972 appear something like the antediluvian era. Still, we would like to think that that meeting was prescient in looking beyond the mainstream science countries-as then perceived-in order to test the variation that ideas undergo as they pass from center to periphery. One thing that the comparative study of the reception of ideas makes abundantly clear, however, is the weakness of the center/periphery dichotomy from the perspective of the diffusion of scientific ideas. Catholics in mainstream countries, for example, did not handle evolution much better than did their corre1igionaries on the fringes. Conversely, Darwinians in Latin America were frequently better placed to advance Darwin's ideas in a social and political sense than were their fellow evolutionists on the Continent. The Texas meeting was also a marker in the comparative reception of scientific ideas, Darwinism aside. Although, by 1972, scientific institutions had been studied comparatively, there was no antecedent for the comparative history of scientific ideas.

Book Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism

Download or read book Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism written by Marlene L. Daut and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the influential life and works of the Haitian political writer and statesman, Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), in this book Marlene L. Daut examines the legacy of Vastey’s extensive writings as a form of what she calls black Atlantic humanism, a discourse devoted to attacking the enlightenment foundations of colonialism. Daut argues that Vastey, the most important secretary of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe, was a pioneer in a tradition of deconstructing colonial racism and colonial slavery that is much more closely associated with twentieth-century writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire. By expertly forging exciting new historical and theoretical connections among Vastey and these later twentieth-century writers, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century black Atlantic authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, Daut proves that any understanding of the genesis of Afro-diasporic thought must include Haiti’s Baron de Vastey.

Book World Anthropologies

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

También da cuenta de que el episodio algodonero, mayoritariamente norteño, obedeció sobre todo a la conexión con el mercado mundial.

Book Santiago de Guatemala  1541 1773

Download or read book Santiago de Guatemala 1541 1773 written by Christopher H. Lutz and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santiago de Guatemala was the colonial capital and most important urban center of Spanish Central America from its establishment in 1541 until the earthquakes of 1773. Christopher H. Lutz traces the demographic and social history of the city during this period, focusing on the rise of groups of mixed descent. During these two centuries the city evolved from a segmented society of Indians, Spaniards, and African slaves to an increasingly mixed population as the formerly all-Indian barrios became home to a large intermediate group of ladinos. The history of the evolution of a multiethnic society in Santiago also sheds light on the present-day struggle of Guatemalan ladinos and Indians and the problems that continue to divide the country today.
