Download or read book Spain and Portugal in the New World 1492 1700 written by Lyle N. McAlister and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish and Portuguese expansion substantially altered the social, political, and economic contours of the modern world. In his book, Lyle McAlister provides a narrative and interpretive history of the exploration and settlement of the Americas by Spain and Portugal. McAlister divides this period (and the book) into three parts. First, he describes the formation of Old World societies with particular attention to those features that influenced the directions and forms of overseas expansion. Second, he traces the dynamic processes of conquest and colonization that between 1492 and about 1570 firmly established Spanish and Portuguese dominion in the New World. The third part deals with colonial growth and consolidation down to about 1700. McAlister's main themes are: the post-conquest territorial expansion that established the limits of what later came to be called Latin America, the emergence of distinctively Spanish and Portuguese American societies and economies, the formation of systems of imperial control and exploitation, and the ways in which conflicts between imperial and American interests were reconciled. This comprehensive history, with its extensive bibliographic essay and attention to historiographic issues, will be a standard reference for students and scholars of the period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can one be interested in social justice without participating in public protests? Must one go to jail for one's convictions in order to have integrity and legitimacy? Have academics succumbed to the negative connotations of the ivory tower by remaining in their cubicles, unaware of the social ills that threaten the very core of society? Or, is it possible for individuals who sit comfortably at their desks to have legitimate input into the evils that surround the cities in which we live? These are some of the questions that prompted The Ivory Tower and the Sword. By turning our attention to Francisco Vitoria, Santiago Pinon offers insight into a thought-provoking individual who was deeply concerned with the social injustices that his countrymen were committing. Living in the sixteenth century, Vitoria knew of the torturous practices that his fellow Spaniards had been conducting against the native peoples of the New World. Using the influence of his position as an academic theologian, Vitoria challenged these practices and held the Spanish emperor accountable for failing to intervene on behalf of the native peoples. From Vitoria we learn how to confront social ills from the ivory tower.
Download or read book A Divided Kingdom written by John Van der Kiste and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is little available on the dramatic and colourful history of the Spanish monarchy. Experienced author and historian John Van der Kiste provides a readable and anecdotal look at one of the key European dynasties from the nineteenth century to the present. He begins with the wayward, ill-educated Isabella II, who was forced to marry her nephew. During much of her reign power was in the hands of her generals and her exile and abdication saw the crown of Spain hawked round Europe for two years. It was briefly accepted then refused by Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen - thus starting the Franco-Prussian War - and, after a short, unsuccessful stint as a republic, the monarchy was restored when Isabella's son Alfonso XIII was chosen as King. John Van der Kiste leads us through his popular reign, the reign of his son - who married one of Queen Victoria's granddaughters - and the socialist movement in Spain after the Great War which led to the dictatorship of Primo de Rovera. Finishing with the Spanish Civil War, the 'reign' of General Franco and the return of the monarchy with the present King, Juan Carlos, this is a fascinating look at the Spanish Bourbons.

Book excerpt: Spain, AD 687: Three children come of age amid the turbulent decline of Visigothic Spain. Yosef is preparing to leave Granada with his father on a trading mission to the East. His friend, wild, silent Laelia, is unsure of her betrothal to the aristocratic Theo. Then Oppa, scheming son of the new Visigoth king, comes south, hungry for riches and for blood. Within days, Laelia is wounded, Theo is enslaved, Yosef’s father has been killed and Yosef himself has fled a false accusation of murder. Now his perilous journey through the Arab lands of North Africa becomes desperately important - and loyalty becomes a choice. Set against a sprawling medieval landscape, The Votive Crown is the first full length book in the Visigoths of Spain saga, following the fortunes of three Spanish families caught in the fall of the Visigothic kingdom and the Arabic conquest of Spain. It is preceded by a prequel novella, The Saharan Queen. Theudemir of Aurariola (Theo) is a Spanish nobleman betrothed sent to fight abroad in the Imperial fleet. When the fleet is attacked at sea, Theo finds himself alone and enslaved on foreign shores. As he battles to survive and rejoin the fleet, Theo is sustained by his bond with Lælia, the fierce, pagan Spanish heiress to whom he is betrothed. Raised among the tribes of the old Roman South, Lælia is not accustomed to the trappings of the Toletum court, nor the corruption she finds there. After Theo is lost at sea, Lælia must find a way to escape a forced marriage to Oppa, the sadistic royal bastard. As Spain slides toward civil war, Lælia uncovers an old secret that may be the key to Oppa's undoing. Yosef is the son of a Jewish merchant who is about to embark upon a perilous trading journey to the far East when a brutal act by Oppa sees his father murdered, and Yosef himself exiled. Deep in Saharan sands he joins the forces of warrior queen Dahiya as they battle the oncoming Arab army, and searches for Theo, whose help he is reliant on for the safe outcome of his journey. As Spain descends further into chaos, Emperor and Caliph war for control over the medieval Circle of Lands. In a world on the brink of collapse, love, loyalty and honour unite Spain's children across distance and time.
Download or read book The Challenge to the Crown written by Robert Stedall and published by Book Guild Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Queen of Scots: Catholic martyr or manipulative femme fatale On 10 February 1567, conspirators bent on killing Henry, Lord Darnley, King-Consort of Mary Queen of Scots successfully razed his Edinburgh residence at Kirk o' Field in a huge explosion. Soon afterwards, Darnley's partially-clothed body was discovered in a nearby orchard, strangled to death by an unknown assailant. Rumours of Mary's involvement in his murder quickly surfaced. Placards across Edinburgh implied that she had provoked the Earl of Bothwell into killing her husband in a crime of passion. This became more plausible when she tried to avoid having to prosecute him for the murder, and subsequently married him, encouraged by her most senior Protestant nobles. While Mary's motives for the marriage might be explained by her need for his protection, those of the Nobility who had encourage it are confusing. Why would they want a union, which would inevitably place Bothwell, a man they hated, as head of government? Was their motif to associate her in the murder plot? Mary's involvement in Darnley's murder has remained one of the great historical mysteries. Genealogist and author Robert Stedall has spent ten years researching the inter-marriages within Scottish peerage to provide an explanation for their motives in removing Mary from the throne. In this first volume, of his two volume history of Mary and James, he explains in vivid detail the switching allegiances of the nobility, and can reveal for the first time, the gripping true story of Mary's downfall and imprisonment.
