This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of South America From the First Human Existence to the Present Time The South American continent is nearest ours; it, indeed, is a continuation of North America. As the people of that continent are Americans as well as we are, they call us American brothers. Thus the American brotherhood extends down to Cape Horn and it behooves us to acquire closer knowledge of the southern nations. Their past struggles and their future aspirations concern us. The so-called prehistoric South America with its mighty works and noble governments, with its epochs of prosperity and decay; the Spanish discoveries and conquests, marred by greed and brutality; the colonial times which bore the character of the middle ages; the tenacious struggle for independence with its heroic deeds and continentwide campaigns; the modern republics in their endeavors, failing and succeeding, in their struggles with the hierarchical power and in their attempts to steer the ships of state into higher waters: all these furnish historical records which will interest and instruct the English reading public. The material from which to gain information upon the South American history is volumious. The most authentic is that which South American writers - each country has its own historians - have gathered. As the author of this work lived and labored in Chile, directing a school and teaching, he has access to the productions of the southern historians and took the material of this work mainly from Spanish histories of Chile, Peru, Colombia, Uruguay, and Argentina. He did not merely translate; he rather gathered such events as are essential to the history of a country and necessary for his readers to gain full information on a country's history, but he omitted happenings and occurrences that are of importance mainly to the people of the particular countries.

Download or read book A Living Past written by John Soluri and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though still a relatively young field, the study of Latin American environmental history is blossoming, as the contributions to this definitive volume demonstrate. Bringing together thirteen leading experts on the region, A Living Past synthesizes a wide range of scholarship to offer new perspectives on environmental change in Latin America and the Spanish Caribbean since the nineteenth century. Each chapter provides insightful, up-to-date syntheses of current scholarship on critical countries and ecosystems (including Brazil, Mexico, the Caribbean, the tropical Andes, and tropical forests) and such cross-cutting themes as agriculture, conservation, mining, ranching, science, and urbanization. Together, these studies provide valuable historical contexts for making sense of contemporary environmental challenges facing the region.

Download or read book Latin America in the Middle Period 1750 1929 written by Stuart F. Voss and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2002 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The customary division of Latin American history into colonial and modern periods has come into question recently. This new book demonstrates that there was a middle period in Latin America's historical evolution since the European Conquest-one no longer colonial, but not yet modern-which has left a legacy in its own right for contemporary Latin America. This volume is a narrative text on Latin America's "long nineteenth century," from the period of Imperial Reforms in the late eighteenth century up to the Great Depression. Incorporating local and regional studies from the last three decades which have profoundly broadened and altered customary views about Latin America, the book is a synthesis of this "Middle Period." Latin America in the Middle Period re-evaluates the relation between subsistence and market production in the post-independence economy, stressing regional diversity. It also re-evaluates the mechanics of politics, which customarily have been seen as liberal-conservative, caudillo-oligarchy, region-nation, and merchant-landowner-industrialist. The text discusses the acceleration of the forces of modernization, the rise of industrial capitalism, and the beginnings of a national ordering of life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries which eroded the fabric of Middle Period society, a process consummated in the aftermath of world depression in the 1930s, ushering in modern Latin America. This new volume is an excellent resource for courses in nineteenth-century Latin American history and the second half of Latin American history survey.
