Download or read book An Aqueous Territory written by Ernesto Bassi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In An Aqueous Territory Ernesto Bassi traces the configuration of a geographic space he calls the transimperial Greater Caribbean between 1760 and 1860. Focusing on the Caribbean coast of New Granada (present-day Colombia), Bassi shows that the region's residents did not live their lives bounded by geopolitical borders. Rather, the cross-border activities of sailors, traders, revolutionaries, indigenous peoples, and others reflected their perceptions of the Caribbean as a transimperial space where trade, information, and people circulated, both conforming to and in defiance of imperial regulations. Bassi demonstrates that the islands, continental coasts, and open waters of the transimperial Greater Caribbean constituted a space that was simultaneously Spanish, British, French, Dutch, Danish, Anglo-American, African, and indigenous. Exploring the "lived geographies" of the region's dwellers, Bassi challenges preconceived notions of the existence of discrete imperial spheres and the inevitable emergence of independent nation-states while providing insights into how people envision their own futures and make sense of their place in the world.

Download or read book City of Illusions written by Helen Rodgers and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Granada is a deceptive city, concealing a layered past and a complex character. The last Muslim capital in Western Europe, over the centuries it has captured hearts and imaginations, inspiring countless myths and legends. Yet its history reveals even more fascinating tales: secrets and follies, victory and failure, poetry and art. City of Illusions brings together Granada's many stories--the archaeological forger, the renegade French general, the garrotted liberal heroine, the Jewish poet who served two Muslim rulers. This colourful cast of characters takes us from the founding eleventh-century dynasty and the building of the Alhambra, through the Reconquista, French occupation and Spanish Civil War, right up to the present day. Granada's history has long been fought over, rewritten, idealised or buried. This rich, elegant book sets the record straight on a beautiful, elusive city, with all its quirks, mysteries, intrigues and triumphs.

She also robbed half of the cartel's money before she vanished! Vincente, to both console his father-in-law and to bring closure for the family, searched for someone to replace Danilo's ex-wife. The cartel's financial woes caused the collapse of the economy. Civil unrest, riots and lootings followed within days. The viceroy of New Granada threatened to annex the colony if the (local) politicians failed to solve the crisis. At the yearly vice-regal beauty pageant, Vincente selected Giovana--who won the beauty contest of the Margarita province earlier that year. As the 'trophy wife' and new 'lady of the house' of society's ruling family, she enjoyed many privileges and a life of ease. At least, that is what it seemed unto outsiders...
