Download or read book The Human Tradition in Colonial Latin America written by Kenneth J. Andrien and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Human Tradition in Colonial Latin America is an anthology of stories of largely ordinary individuals struggling to forge a life during the unstable colonial period in Latin America. These mini-biographies vividly show the tensions that emerged when the political, social, religious, and economic ideals of the Spanish and Portuguese colonial regimes and the Roman Catholic Church conflicted with the realities of daily living in the Americas. Now fully updated with new and revised essays, the book is carefully balanced among countries and ethnicities. Within an overall theme of social order and disorder in a colonial setting, the stories bring to life issues of gender; race and ethnicity; conflicts over religious orthodoxy; and crime, violence, and rebellion. Written by leading scholars, the essays are specifically designed to be readable and interesting. Ideal for the Latin American history survey and for courses on colonial Latin American history, this fresh and human text will engage as well as inform students.

Book excerpt: O Quilombo dos Palmares foi um quilombo da era colonial brasileira, localizado no estado de Alagoas. Este foi o mais emblemático dos quilombos: resistiu por mais de um século, e sua história transformou-se em um moderno símbolo da resistência à escravidão. Os historiadores apontam que o primeiro registro existente sobre o quilombo remonta ao ano de 1597, mas existem teorias que afirmam que pode ter surgido antes dessa data. Palmares foi crescendo ao longo do século XVII e acabou transformando-se no maior quilombo brasileiro, abrigando cerca de 20 mil habitantes. O nome "Quilombo dos Palmares" faz menção ao fato de ele ter se desenvolvido em uma região que possuía muitas palmeiras, árvore importante na produção de ferramentas, na construção de casebres e que também fornecia alimento (palmito) aos quilombolas. O primeiro rei de Palmares foi Ganga Zumba, filho de uma princesa do Congo. Sua liderança foi fundamental para organizar e resistir aos ataques externos. Mais tarde, Zumbi assumiu como líder, cargo que ocupou até a destruição do quilombo em 1694. Dandara também se destaca como figura importante, ela foi esposa de Zumbi, dominava técnicas de capoeira, participava ativamente na elaboração de estratégias de resistência do quilombo e era a líder das forças femininas. A antologia "Palmares" traz contos de ficção, escritos por autores negros brasileiros, que se passam no quilombo, abordando as vivências e desafios da época.

Shakes. Wails. Moves to rhythms long forgotten . . . in many ways: holy. [A] masterpiece.”—The New York Times Book Review The epic rendering of a Black woman’s journey through slavery and liberation, set in 17th-century colonial Brazil; the return of a major voice in American literature. First discovered and edited by Toni Morrison, Gayl Jones has been described as one of the great literary writers of the 20th century. Now, for the first time in over 20 years, Jones is ready to publish again. Palmares is the first of five new works by Gayl Jones to be published in the next two years, rewarding longtime fans and bringing her talent to a new generation of readers. Intricate and compelling, Palmares recounts the journey of Almeyda, a Black slave girl who comes of age on Portuguese plantations and escapes to a fugitive slave settlement called Palmares. Following its destruction, Almeyda embarks on a journey across colonial Brazil to find her husband, lost in battle. Her story brings to life a world impacted by greed, conquest, and colonial desire. She encounters a mad lexicographer, desperate to avoid military service; a village that praises a god living in a nearby cave; and a medicine woman who offers great magic, at a greater price. Combining the author’s mastery of language and voice with her unique brand of mythology and magical realism, Jones reimagines the historical novel. The result is a sweeping saga spanning a quarter century, with vibrant settings and unforgettable characters, steeped in the rich oral tradition of its world. Of Gayl Jones, the New Yorker noted, “[Her] great achievement is to reckon with both history and interiority, and to collapse the boundary between them.” Like nothing else before it, Palmares embodies this gift.
Download or read book Angola Janga written by Marcelo D'Salete and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An independent kingdom of runaway slaves founded in the late 16th century, Angola Janga was a beacon of freedom in a land plagued with oppression. In stark black ink and chiaroscuro panel compositions, D’Salete brings history to life; the painful stories of fugitive slaves on the run, the brutal raids by Portuguese colonists, and the tense power struggles within this precarious kingdom. At turns heartbreaking and empowering, Angola Janga sheds light on a long-overlooked moment of resistance against oppression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Prisoners of Geography meets Bill Bryson: a funny, fascinating, beautifully illustrated—and timely—history of countries that, for myriad and often ludicrous reasons, no longer exist. “Countries are just daft stories we tell each other. They’re all equally implausible once you get up close.” Countries die. Sometimes it’s murder, sometimes it’s by accident, and sometimes it’s because they were so ludicrous they didn’t deserve to exist in the first place. Occasionally they explode violently. A few slip away almost unnoticed. Often the cause of death is either “got too greedy” or “Napoleon turned up.” Now and then they just hold a referendum and vote themselves out of existence. This is an atlas of 48 nations that fell off the map. The polite way of writing an obituary is: dwell on the good bits, gloss over the embarrassing stuff. This book refuses to do so, because these dead nations are so full of schemers, racists, and con men that it’s impossible to skip the embarrassing stuff. Because of this – and because treating nation-states with too much reverence is the entire problem with pretty much everything – these accounts are not concerned with adding to the earnest flag saluting in the world, however nice some of the flags might be."
