Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paralelo Entre la Conquista y Dominacion de America y el Descubrimiento y Pacificacion de Filipinas Tienen tambien sus fiestas peculiares los grandes talentos, y sus expansiones pro pias las almas creadas segun el'arquetipo de la aristocracia de los espiritus; pero sus fiestas y expansiones se distinguen, como las del adulto y las del nino, de los regoci jos de la gran niasa, del inmenso vulgo de la humanidad, siquier en la rectitud y en la instruccion cifren muchos hombres los timbres mas preciados de su grandeza. El vulgo, aun de las clases selectas. Se busca a si propio en los festejos publicos; ve en ellos la ocasion de divertirse de modo no ordinario, de dar pabulo nuevo a la ima ginacion y de halagar el propio orgullo 9 por el solo hecho de ser, como los heroes a quienes celebran, miembros de la misma patria, sin comprender acaso la alta signi ficacion de esa sublime idea, ni meditar que la gloria y la grandeza solo son apre ciadas de quien sabe merecerlas. De ahi, para conmemorar las fechas cele bres, los espectaculos teatrales y coreogra ncos, las procesiones llamadas civicas, las grandes exhibiciones de objetos raros y preciosos, en las que se franquea la puerta al oro y al lujo de los acariciad05 por la fortuna. Es un suceso extraordinario que da lugar para regocijarse de extraordinaria manera, y se viaja, se ostentan galas y preseas, se vierte el dinero con profusion, la fantasia se llena de imagenes halagne nas, los nervios vibran al impulso de la emocion por cien objetos interesantes pro vocada, y se vuelve al hogar con la satis faccion intima de haber gozado mucho, porque se ha celebrado dignamente a Cer vantes, a Calderon, a Santa Teresa, a al gun varon insigne o suceso de la Religion, del Arte 6 de la Patria.

Download or read book Conquest and Pestilence in the Early Spanish Philippines written by Linda A. Newson and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2009-04-16 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long assumed that Spanish colonial rule had only a limited demographic impact on the Philippines. Filipinos, they believed, had acquired immunity to Old World diseases prior to Spanish arrival; conquest was thought to have been more benign than what took place in the Americas because of more enlightened colonial policies introduced by Philip II. Conquest and Pestilence in the Early Spanish Philippines illuminates the demographic history of the Spanish Philippines in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and, in the process, challenges these assumptions. In this provocative new work, Linda Newson convincingly demonstrates that the Filipino population suffered a significant decline in the early colonial period. Newson argues that the sparse population of the islands meant that Old World diseases could not become endemic in pre-Spanish times. She also shows that the initial conquest of the Philippines was far bloodier than has often been supposed and that subsequent Spanish demands for tribute, labor, and land brought socioeconomic transformations and depopulation that were prolonged beyond the early conquest years. Comparisons are made with the impact of Spanish colonial rule in the Americas. Newson adopts a regional approach and examines critically each major area in Luzon and the Visayas in turn. Building on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, she proposes a new estimate for the population of the Visayas and Luzon of 1.57 million in 1565—slightly higher than that suggested by previous studies—and calculates that by the mid-seventeenth century this figure may have fallen by about two-thirds. Based on extensive archival research conducted in secular and missionary archives in the Philippines, Spain, and elsewhere, Conquest and Pestilence in the Early Spanish Philippines is an exemplary contribution to our understanding of the formative influences on demographic change in premodern Southeast Asian society and the history of the early Spanish Philippines.
