Download or read book The Hispanic American Historical Review Vol 5 written by James Alexander Robertson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hispanic American Historical Review, Vol. 5: May, 1922 The proposed American expedition was none other than that of the famous filibuster, William Walker. With the details of this rather interesting enterprise per se the writer is not so much concerned as with its international aspects, and its general place in the series of raids against Mexico. The incidents of this raid will therefore be narrated very briefly. Walker, who was living at the time in California, became interested in the founding of a colony in Sonora some time during the year and in June, 1853, he and his former law partner, Henry P. Watkins, went as agents of the enterprise to Guaymas. Here they asked permits to proceed to the interior, where they intended to have an interview with the governor of Sonora; but the Mexican authorities, suspicious of their intentions.

Book Indigenous Languages  Politics  and Authority in Latin America

Download or read book Indigenous Languages Politics and Authority in Latin America written by Alan Durston and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume makes a vital and original contribution to a topic that lies at the intersection of the fields of history, anthropology, and linguistics. The book is the first to consider indigenous languages as vehicles of political orders in Latin America from the sixteenth century to the present, across regional and national contexts, including Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, and Paraguay. The chapters focus on languages that have been prominent in multiethnic colonial and national societies and are well represented in the written record: Guarani, Quechua, some of the Mayan languages, Nahuatl, and other Mesoamerican languages. The contributors put into dialogue the questions and methodologies that have animated anthropological and historical approaches to the topic, including ethnohistory, philology, language politics and ideologies, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, and metapragmatics. Some of the historical chapters deal with how political concepts and discourses were expressed in indigenous languages, while others focus on multilingualism and language hierarchies, where some indigenous languages, or language varieties, acquired a special status as mediums of written communication and as elite languages. The ethnographic chapters show how the deployment of distinct linguistic varieties in social interaction lays bare the workings of social differentiation and social hierarchy.

Book To the Halls of the Montezumas

Download or read book To the Halls of the Montezumas written by Robert W. Johannsen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1988-01-21 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For mid-19th-century Americans, the Mexican War was not only a grand exercise in self-identity, legitimizing the young republic's convictions of mission and destiny to a doubting world; it was also the first American conflict to be widely reported in the press and to be waged against an alien foe in a distant and exotic land. It provided a window onto the outside world and promoted an awareness of a people and a land unlike any Americans had known before. This rich cultural history examines the place of the Mexican War in the popular imagination of the era. Drawing on military and travel accounts, newspaper dispatches, and a host of other sources, Johannsen vividly recreates the mood and feeling of the period--its unbounded optimism and patriotic pride--and adds a new dimension to our understanding of both the Mexican War and America itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

It uncovers a multitude of overlapping and sometimes conflicting iterations of Third Worldist movements in Latin America, and offers insights for better understanding the region's past, as well as its possible futures, challenging us to consider how the Global Cold War continues to inform Latin America's ongoing political struggles.

Book Home Grown

    Book Details:
  • Author : Isaac Campos
  • Publisher : Univ of North Carolina Press
  • Release : 2012-04-23
  • ISBN : 0807882682
  • Pages : 344 pages

Download or read book Home Grown written by Isaac Campos and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historian Isaac Campos combines wide-ranging archival research with the latest scholarship on the social and cultural dimensions of drug-related behavior in this telling of marijuana's remarkable history in Mexico. Introduced in the sixteenth century by the Spanish, cannabis came to Mexico as an industrial fiber and symbol of European empire. But, Campos demonstrates, as it gradually spread to indigenous pharmacopoeias, then prisons and soldiers' barracks, it took on both a Mexican name--marijuana--and identity as a quintessentially "Mexican" drug. A century ago, Mexicans believed that marijuana could instantly trigger madness and violence in its users, and the drug was outlawed nationwide in 1920. Home Grown thus traces the deep roots of the antidrug ideology and prohibitionist policies that anchor the drug-war violence that engulfs Mexico today. Campos also counters the standard narrative of modern drug wars, which casts global drug prohibition as a sort of informal American cultural colonization. Instead, he argues, Mexican ideas were the foundation for notions of "reefer madness" in the United States. This book is an indispensable guide for anyone who hopes to understand the deep and complex origins of marijuana's controversial place in North American history.
