Book excerpt: Los márgenes de la esclavitud: resistencia, control y abolición en el Caribe y América Latina reúne ensayos que indagan distintos aspectos de la esclavitud africana en América Latina y el Caribe relacionados con las experiencias de los esclavizados, de los amos y de las autoridades. También se ocupa de la justificación de la esclavitud que se hizo desde distintos sectores, contenida en discursos, leyes e imágenes que construyeron un imaginario y formas de actuación que afloraron y perviven en la práctica cotidiana. A lo largo de la obra subyace la discriminación racial, al ser un fenómeno importante de las sociedades esclavistas y racializadas. El color de la piel fue uno de los factores que estableció las diferencias sociales, económicas y culturales, y generó percepciones, temores y rechazos. Un bloque importante de estudios se centra en la esclavitud como una institución jurídica sujeta a una compleja regulación. Reales órdenes, bandos de buen gobierno, decretos, reglamentos y códigos que se fueron dictando lo largo de los siglos formaron un complejo cuerpo legislativo de gran interés y utilidad para conocer el sistema esclavista desde el interior, así como los resquicios que dejó a los siervos para luchar por sus derechos. El esclavo no fue un sujeto pasivo. La documentación nos habla de la posibilidad que tenían de solicitar algún derecho o por ejemplo de cambiar de dueño. La manumisión estuvo presente desde el ordenamiento de las sociedades esclavistas hispanoamericanas en el siglo XVI como parte de la tradición jurídica romana y castellana. En las diferentes regiones que integraron el vasto imperio colonial se fue formando un estrato de “hombres de color” libres que adquirió importancia dentro del conjunto poblacional de origen africano en el transcurso de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Su reglamentación abarcó cualquier acción y ámbito relacionados con la esclavitud y los esclavos. Las normativas jurídicas en la mayoría de los casos hacían alusión o se centraban directamente en la necesidad de mantener la vigilancia y disciplina para preservar la seguridad pública y el orden. El temor a una rebelión de esclavos en el Caribe fue una constante en los gobernantes tras la Revolución de Saint-Domingue de 1791. Seguridad pública y orden se convirtieron en consignas especialmente tras la revolución de los esclavos cuya carga simbólica, por otra parte, recorrió la región alcanzando a las zonas en las que la esclavitud era el motor de la economía. A principios del siglo XIX algunas potencias europeas comenzaron a aplicar medidas que condujeron a la abolición, un proceso en el que intervinieron distintos agentes y factores de carácter económico, político, ideológico y socio-culturales. El análisis del proceso abolicionista también se realiza teniendo en cuenta el marco jurídico de la legislación que emanó de las Cortes de Cádiz en 1812 y de las leyes abolicionistas que para el caso de Puerto Rico y Cuba se dictaron en la década de 1870. Tras el fin de la esclavitud, la incorporación de los ex esclavos a la nación fueron procesos de larga duración en los que interactuaron diferentes agentes y factores, económicos, sociales, políticos, ideológicos y culturales.

Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a deep Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

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 The Diario of Christopher Columbus s First Voyage to America 1492 1493 written by and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive edition of Columbus's account of the voyage presents the most accurate printed version of his journal available to date. Unfortunately both Columbus's original manuscript, presented to Ferdinand and Isabella along with other evidence of his discoveries, and a single complete copy have been lost for centuries. The primary surviving record of the voyage-part quotation, part summary of the complete copy-is a transcription made by Bartolome de las Casas in the 1530s. This new edition of the Las Casas manuscript presents its entire contents-including notes, insertions, and canceled text-more accurately, completely, and graphically than any other Spanish text published so far. In addition, the new translation, which strives for readability and accuracy, appears on pages facing the Spanish, encouraging on-the- spot comparisons of the translation with the original. Study of the work is further facilitated by extensive notes, documenting differences between the editors' transcription and translation and those of other transcribers and translators and summarizing current research and debates on unanswered current research and debates on unanswered questions concerning the voyage. In addition to being the only edition in which Spanish and English are presented side by side, this edition includes the only concordance ever prepared for the Diario. Awaited by scholars, this new edition will help reduce the guesswork that has long plagued the study of Columbus's voyage. It may shed light on a number of issues related to Columbus's navigational methods and the identity of his landing places, issues whose resolution depend, at least in part, on an accurate transcription of the Diario. Containing day-by-day accounts of the voyage and the first sighting of land, of the first encounters with the native populations and the first appraisals of his islands explored, and of a suspenseful return voyage to Spain, the Diario provides a fascinating and useful account to historians, geographers, anthropologists, sailors, students, and anyone else interested in the discovery-or in a very good sea story. Oliver Dunn received the PH.D. degree from Cornell University. He is Professor Emeritus in Purdue University and a longtime student of Spanish and early history of Spanish America. James E. Kelley, Jr., received the M.A. degree from American University. A mathematician and computer and management consultant by vocation, for the past twenty years he has studied the history of European cartography and navigation in late-medieval times. Both are members of the Society for the History of Discoveries and have written extensively on the history of navigation and on Columbus's first voyage, Although they remain unconvinced of its conclusions, both were consultants to the National geographic Society's 1986 effort to establish Samana Cay as the site of Columbus's first landing.
