Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Like Leaven in the Dough: Protestant Social Thought in Latin America, 1920-1950, Carlos Mondrag n offers an introduction to the ideas of notable Protestant writers in Latin America during the first half of the twentieth century. Despite their national and denominational differences, Mondrag n argues that Protestant intellectuals developed a coherent set of ideas about freedom of religion and thought, economic justice, militarism, and national identity. This was a period when Protestants comprised a very small proportion of Latin America's total population; their very marginality compelled them to think creatively about their identity and place in Latin American society. Accused of embracing a foreign faith, these Protestants struggled to define national identities that had room for religious diversity and liberty of conscience. Marginalized and persecuted themselves, Latin America's Protestants articulated a liberating message decades before the appearance of Catholic Liberation Theology.

Download or read book The Southernmost End of South America Through Cartography written by Luis Ignacio de Lasa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes the construction of the territorial identity of the southern end of South America and analyzes the cartographic territorialization of Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and the “Terra Australis” continent. Different spatial representations and territorial nature coexisted in this process as a result of the spatial interpretation and value modes as well as the projects and strategies of various actors. The book discusses the formal and symbolic incorporation to the Spanish dominion and its inclusion in the imperial design built over a new image of the world. Examining Jesuit cartography it considers both the indigenous territoriality and the dynamics of relations between natural and social components in the continental hinterland. The process of cartographic differentiation for this southern Atlantic region is analyzed in the framework of early Antarctic exploration and competing use of navigation routes and maritime resources. The book emphasizes the role geopolitical and economic interests play in these developments. The formation of territorialities of various origins has particular contents and logic, which are built upon imaginary subordination to political and economic interests. Cartographic language in the 19th century, associated with political and commercial motivations and the (British) imperial ideology, stimulated the territorial expansion. The book argues why in the late 1800's this was an important factor in the integration process of the southern indigenous territories and the national territoriality.

Book excerpt: Asturias contemporánea (1808-1936), de David Ruiz, estudia sintéticamente ese amplio periodo histórico que va desde el fin del Antiguo Régimen, etapa en la que destaca la aportación asturiana a una revolución liberal fallida, hasta la profunda crisis social y política abre con la proclamación de la II República española, crisis que alcanzará en Asturias sus puntos álgidos con la Revolución de Octubre y el triunfo del Frente Popular. El autor se enfrenta con la historia del pasado asturiano y sitúa en el contexto de la historia española con la intención de que ambas puedan explicarse de manera mas convincente. Al sondear el pasado en busca de explicaciones que faciliten la correcta comprensión de la realidad presente, David Ruiz va analizando en qué medida la sociedad asturiana, inserta en el marco de un estado centralista, se ha planteado la solución que se fueron gestando a lo largo de los dos últimos siglos, problemas que, en algunos casos, siguen aún gravitando sobre la región asturiana. Una selección de documentos, un análisis del estado actual de las investigaciones sobre la historia regional y una serie de apéndices orientadores (bibliografía, cronología y gráficos) completan esta historia de la Asturias contemporánea con la que el autor estimular el conocimiento y el debate la historia de su región.
