Book excerpt: El Diario de a bordo de Cristóbal Colón —transcrito por Bartolomé de las Casas— nos descubre a un personaje fascinante y contradictorio, que pasa del entusiasmo a la desconfianza o a las especulaciones geográficas más aventuradas (la confusión, por ejemplo, de Cuba por Cipango, el nombre que los europeos daban a Japón durante el Medioevo). Sin embargo, aunque en su persona se mezclen la maravilla ante el mundo desconocido, el piadoso deseo de evangelizar a los «salvajes» y una manifiesta avidez de riquezas, Colón fue un explorador y un navegante increíblemente visionario. Ninguna aventura en la historia ha sido más crucial que la llegada de la carabela Santa María a las Américas en 1492. Este acontecimiento supuso un extraordinario ensanchamiento del mundo. Para algunos incluso el comienzo de lo que hoy llamamos globalización y el encuentro de dos mundos que se ignoraban. Pero, ¿cómo se le ocurrió a Cristóbal Colón el insensato proyecto de llegar a Oriente por Occidente? Y, sobre todo, ¿cómo consiguió convencer a los Reyes Católicos para que financiaran la aventura? ¿A pesar de la incredulidad y de las reservas de los políticos y los científicos de la época? El Diario de a bordo de Colón nos relata las vivencias de su hazaña.

This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cristóbal Colón unió así su nombre a otros ensanchadores del mundo conocido, como Alejandro Magno y Marco Polo. Su permanente y sostenida confusión acerca de hacia dónde viajó, no fue óbice para que con su acción se duplicara el mapamundi y alentó sobremanera la inteligencia europea, la que, una vez consciente (o sin llegar a estarlo totalmente) de los yerros del navegante genovés, emprendió la otra aventura, la de la conquista y evangelización de los hombres autóctonos de las tierras descubiertas. Una enorme empresa mercantil y política se puso en marcha para perjuicio de las culturas originales del continente suramericano y beneficio de los bolsillos de muchos en el viejo continente. Como han estado contestes la mayoría de los historiadores, la falta de documentos es la causa principal de que muchas respuestas y preguntas sobre los viajes colombinos permanezcan aún en las sombras de las dudas y las conjeturas. De esta forma, el diario del primero de los viajes del Almirante de la Mar Océana se convierte en el texto cardinal de la epopeya. […] Es un acierto absoluto que Ediciones Verbum publique el diario del primer viaje de Cristóbal Colón, uno de los documentos más trascendentes de la historia del encuentro europeo con América y, más aún, de la historia universal. A pesar del tiempo transcurrido (o gracias a él), de las correcciones y adulteraciones sufridas, el Diario de a Bordo del Primer Viaje de Cristóbal Colón, sigue siendo una lectura fascinante, la revelación de un mundo virginal que brotaba, maravilloso e imperfecto, ante la azorada humanidad.

Download or read book Mixed Race Studies written by Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed race studies is one of the fastest growing, as well as one of the most important and controversial areas in the field of race and ethnic relations. Bringing together pioneering and controversial scholarship from both the social and the biological sciences, as well as the humanities, this reader charts the evolution of debates on 'race' and 'mixed race' from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book is divided into three main sections: tracing the origins: miscegenation, moral degeneracy and genetics mapping contemporary and foundational discourses: 'mixed race', identities politics, and celebration debating definitions: multiraciality, census categories and critiques. This collection adds a new dimension to the growing body of literature on the topic and provides a comprehensive history of the origins and directions of 'mixed race' research as an intellectual movement. For students of anthropology, race and ethnicity, it is an invaluable resource for examining the complexities and paradoxes of 'racial' thinking across space, time and disciplines.

Download or read book Conflicts of Interest written by MarÕa Amparo Ruiz de Burton and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, the recently discovered nineteenth-century novelist, broke many of the boundaries that circumscribed the life of both women and Hispanics in the southwestern territories of the United States. Not only was she the first Hispanic novelist to write English, but her courage and resolve took her into the circles of governmental and financial power where very few women had tread before. Conflicts of Interest captures the conflicted personality of María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, a woman pulled in different directions by tensions of class, race, gender, and nationality. The trajectory of Ruiz de Burtons life through her correspondence makes for a compelling and revealing narrative, one that brings to life the evolution of discourse and culture in the Southwest as it was becoming integrated in the United States a process which, some might argue, continues today. This volume is as complete a collection of the Ruiz de Burton letters as is possible, given the imperfect historical record. Included are various personal and business documents and a collection of articles about her family. Among her correspondents were such important historical figures as Samuel L. M. Barlow, E. W. Morse, Prudenciana Moreno, and Platón Vallejo. But this album is not a simple collection of letters and documents; rather, researchers Sánchez and Pita have made great efforts to reconstitute Ruiz de Burtons life and times through their analysis and commentary.

Download or read book The Life Music and Times of Carlos Gardel written by Simon Collier and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 1986-12-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first biography in English of the great Argentinian tango singer Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), Collier traces his rise from very modest beginnings to become the first genuine "superstar" of twentieth-century Latin America. In his late teens, Gardel won local fame in the barrios of Buenos Aires singing in cafes and political clubs. By the 1920s, after he switched to tango singing, the songs he wrote and sang enjoyed instant popularity and have become classics of the genre. He began making movies in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as the most popular star of the Spanish-language cinema, and at the time of his death Paramount was planning to launch his Hollywood career.Collier's biography focuses on Gardel's artistic career and achievements but also sets his life story within the context of the tango tradition, of early twentieth-century Argentina, and of the history of popular entertainment.

Book excerpt: El Diario de a bordo de Cristóbal Colón —transcrito por Bartolomé de las Casas— nos descubre a un personaje fascinante y contradictorio, que pasa del entusiasmo a la desconfianza o a las especulaciones geográficas más aventuradas (confunde, por ejemplo, Cuba por Cipango, el nombre que los europeos daban a Japón durante el Medioevo). Sin embargo, aunque en su persona se mezclen la maravilla ante el mundo desconocido, el piadoso deseo de evangelizar a los «salvajes» y una manifiesta avidez de riquezas, Colón fue sin duda un explorador y un navegante increíblemente visionario. En su segundo viaje Colón salió de Cádiz el 25 de septiembre de 1493 con tres galeones o carracas, 14 carabelas y 1 .500 acompañantes. Llegó a las Islas Caribes el 4 de noviembre del mismo año. Descubrió la Isla de Borinquen (Puerto Rico) y el 27 noviembre llegó a La Española, donde con dolor solo encontró las ruinas del fuerte de La Navidad. Estuvo en La Española hasta el 24 de abril de 1494, dejando reconstruida una población que llamó La Isabela. Siguiendo su viaje descubrió la isla de Jamaica, el día 3 de mayo. Recorrió el sur de Cuba y llegó hasta la isla de Pinos que llamó Evangelista. Regresó enfermo a La Isabela, y mejorado, volvió a España. Esta expedición estaba muy bien equipada, incluso con todo lo necesario para el establecimiento y conquista; llevó caballos, vacas, ove jas, cabras, cerdos y aves de corral; entre las semillas y plantas: trigo, cebada, la vid, el limón, el naranjo y caña de azúcar (llamada por entonces oro blanco). En su tercer viaje —en 1498— descubrió la isla de Trinidad, el río Orinoco y parte de América del Sur. También fue arrestado por el juez, Francisco de Bobadilla, por supuestas irregularidades en su gobierno. Su cuarto y último viaje fue de mayo de 1502 a 17 de noviembre de 1504, cuando volvió enfermo a España. Visitó las pequeñas Antillas, La Española, Jamaica y Honduras.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A deep and genuine analysis of the women writers who are the objects of each chapter, utilizing the most modern methods of literary criticism . . . this book will be viewed as essential not only by scholars of women in literature but also for specialists dealing with the nineteenth century."--Gregorio C. Martin, Duquesne University "She shows us things we have not seen before. . . . This is a sophisticated, elegant, and important text. It demonstrates clearly, and for the first time, how women helped to shape Spanish Romantic discourse--both as subject and as object--and how prevailing attitudes shaped their writings."--David T. Gies, University of Virginia "A deep and genuine analysis of the women writers who are the objects of each chapter, utilizing the most modern methods of literary criticism . . . this book will be viewed as essential not only by scholars of women in literature but also for specialists dealing with the nineteenth century."--Gregorio C.

Download or read book 1492 written by Homero Aridjis and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A best seller in Latin America in the 1980s, this novel of life in fifteenth-century Spain depicts a world in which both the Moors and the Jews are under attack. This is the formative period of the phenomenon known today as Crypto-Judaism, and Aridjis's widely praised book, now available for the first time in an American paperback edition, will find a broad audience among readers fascinated by this aspect of Jewish history. "In 1492, the Catholic rulers, Ferdinand and Isabella, expelled the Jews from Spain. In Homero Aridjis' novel, the great saga of the expulsion comes to life with both historical and poetic resonance. A great Mexican poet, Aridjis embraces history and fiction with the warmth and insight of the lyrical vision."--Carlos Fuentes "In this highly readable novel which deals with a special and painful chapter in history, Homero Aridjis combines erudition, sensitivity and poetic imagination. I recommend it warmly."--Elie Wiesel "A novel of literary subtlety and sensibility. Few contemporary writers have captured so profoundly and with such style this era marked by three essential events: the establishment of the Catholic sovereigns, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, and the discovery of America."--El País (Madrid) "Among worldwide bestsellers, 1492 is the most similar to Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose; both are concerned with the trials of heretics and the violence employed against the dissident. Aridjis gives an encyclopedic vision of catastrophic times."--La Jornada (Mexico City)
