Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina are quickly followed by disagreements about whether and how communities should be rebuilt, whether political leaders represent the community’s best interests, and whether the devastation could have been prevented. Shaky Colonialism demonstrates that many of the same issues animated the aftermath of disasters more than 250 years ago. On October 28, 1746, a massive earthquake ravaged Lima, a bustling city of 50,000, capital of the Peruvian Viceroyalty, and the heart of Spain’s territories in South America. Half an hour later, a tsunami destroyed the nearby port of Callao. The earthquake-tsunami demolished churches and major buildings, damaged food and water supplies, and suspended normal social codes, throwing people of different social classes together and prompting widespread chaos. In Shaky Colonialism, Charles F. Walker examines reactions to the catastrophe, the Viceroy’s plans to rebuild the city, and the opposition he encountered from the Church, the Spanish Crown, and Lima’s multiracial population. Through his ambitious rebuilding plan, the Viceroy sought to assert the power of the colonial state over the Church, the upper classes, and other groups. Agreeing with most inhabitants of the fervently Catholic city that the earthquake-tsunami was a manifestation of God’s wrath for Lima’s decadent ways, he hoped to reign in the city’s baroque excesses and to tame the city’s notoriously independent women. To his great surprise, almost everyone objected to his plan, sparking widespread debate about political power and urbanism. Illuminating the shaky foundations of Spanish control in Lima, Walker describes the latent conflicts—about class, race, gender, religion, and the very definition of an ordered society—brought to the fore by the earthquake-tsunami of 1746.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available for the first time in English, THE SPIRITUAL CONQUEST is a moving first-hand account of the early days of one of history's most remarkable social experiments, the Paraguay Reductions. In the early 1600's, a handful of unarmed members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) penetrated the forests of present-day Paraguay & surrounding territories, & gathered tens of thousands of semi-nomadic Indians into large & prosperous towns. After flourishing for nearly 150 years both materially & artistically with their Jesuit mentors, these oases of independent Christian Indian civilization fell victim to European colonists' violence & rapacity. De Montoya's book is a fundamental & frequently cited document of South American history & ethnography. He vividly evokes the vast country he describes: its forests, its mighty rivers, its wild animals, its varied native peoples. He tells of the Jesuit efforts to establish their Christian towns, the opposition of both European colonists & native chiefs & sorcerers; he depicts the naive piety of the Indian converts, the frequent occurrences of the supernatural, the ever-present reality of cannibalism , the grim fact of martyrdom, the day-to-day life of the indigenous people & of the Jesuits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pope Francis’ conversations with his fellow Jesuits around the world should excite everyone! 13 such exclusive conversations in beautiful eBook formats. Pope Francis uses his base in Rome as the platform for a mission to the world. That mission has some key emphases and actions that he sees as central to his and the Church’s mission right now. He focuses on those during his journeys away from Rome, often to places dear to him because they are on ‘the peripheries’. His topics and themes are popular with audiences but are very familiar. Where he gets to share what’s on his mind, on those journeys, is when he meets with the local Jesuit community. He engages and responds extemporaneously to the questions coming from his brother Jesuits.

Download or read book The Codex Mexicanus written by Lori Boornazian Diel and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some sixty years after the Spanish conquest of Mexico, a group of Nahua intellectuals in Mexico City set about compiling an extensive book of miscellanea, which was recorded in pictorial form with alphabetic texts in Nahuatl clarifying some imagery or adding new information altogether. This manuscript, known as the Codex Mexicanus, includes records pertaining to the Aztec and Christian calendars, European medical astrology, a genealogy of the Tenochca royal house, and an annals history of pre-conquest Tenochtitlan and early colonial Mexico City, among other topics. Though filled with intriguing information, the Mexicanus has long defied a comprehensive scholarly analysis, surely due to its disparate contents. In this pathfinding volume, Lori Boornazian Diel presents the first thorough study of the entire Codex Mexicanus that considers its varied contents in a holistic manner. She provides an authoritative reading of the Mexicanus’s contents and explains what its creation and use reveal about native reactions to and negotiations of colonial rule in Mexico City. Diel makes sense of the codex by revealing how its miscellaneous contents find counterparts in Spanish books called Reportorios de los tiempos. Based on the medieval almanac tradition, Reportorios contain vast assortments of information related to the issue of time, as does the Mexicanus. Diel masterfully demonstrates that, just as Reportorios were used as guides to living in early modern Spain, likewise the Codex Mexicanus provided its Nahua audience a guide to living in colonial New Spain.
