Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Viajes por Europa, África y América 1845-1848, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento aprovecha un largo viaje para reflexionar sobre los lugares que visita. Parece buscar modelos de referencia o de rechazo útiles a su actividad política en el continente americano. En el año 1845, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento acababa de publicar como libro su folletín Civilización y Barbarie. Vida de Juan Facundo Quiroga. Ese mismo año se embarcaría en un largo viaje por Europa, Argelia y Estados Unidos, que duraría casi dos años. A su regreso, reunió sus impresiones de viaje en un conjunto de cartas dirigidas a distintos amigos. Así las publicó con el título de Viajes por Europa, África y América. Este libro de Viajes de Sarmiento se inicia con un prólogo donde el autor intenta explicar sus razones para publicar dichas cartas: Ofrezco a mis amigos, en las siguientes páginas, una miscelánea de observaciones, reminiscencias, impresiones e incidentes de viaje, que piden toda la indulgencia del corazón, para tener a raya la merecida crítica que sobre su importancia no dejará de hacer el juicio desprevenido. Saben ellos que a fines de 1845 partí de Chile, con el objeto de ver por mis propios ojos, y de palpar, por decirlo así, el estado de la enseñanza primaria, en las naciones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viajes por Europa, Africa y Norte Am rica -1845/1847 Faustino Domingo Sarmiento Foreword by Juan Carlos Casas - (Author of "La Ingratitud de Sarmiento", ISBN 987-20506-8-6) 676 pages - IN SPANISH One of the most remarkable travel books ever written is undoubtedly "Travels through Europe, Africa and North America -1845/1847 " by the Argentine Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. At the moment of departing for Europe, Algiers and North America, the 34 years old Sarmiento had already written his famous "Facundo", had suffered twice the exile due to political reasons, and possesed a cultural background unique in the southern republics just recently released from the hispanic colonial regime. His chilean friend Manuel Montt -then minister and later on President of Chile- had asked Sarmiento to review the education systems in the main countries and, in Sarmiento's own words, "analyze the institutions that delay or advance their progress". "Tavels." conveys Sarmiento's impressions on all the matters that concerned him at the time. Slavery, religion, the difficult English-American relations, the Mexican war, the Spanish decay and its influence on Latin America, the different political and social evolution on the two sides of the Andes -Chile and Argentina- Rosas, San Martin and Washington, as well as the early technological progress in North America that such admiration and envy aroused in him. Sarmiento, throughout his 1847 trip, and later on as Argentine Ambassador to Washington, constitutes the first Argentine that had the chance of knowing, admiring and widespreading the huge advances of the United States. The adoption of his educational methods, based on his observations in the US, constituted the mainstay of the progress of the Argentine Republic as inspired by the so called "80's Generation".
Download or read book Europe and Latin America written by Peter R. Beardsell and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the development of 'dissident' Irish republicanism and considers its impact on politics throughout Ireland since the 1980s. Based on a series of interviews with over ninety radical republican activists from the wide range of groups and currents which make up 'dissident' republicanism, the book provides an up-to-date assessment of the political significance and potential of the groups who continue to oppose the peace process and the Good Friday Agreement. It shows that the 'dissidents' are much more than traditionalist irreconcilables left behind by Gerry Adams' entry into the mainstream. Instead the book suggests that the dynamics and trajectory of 'dissident' republicanism are shaped more by contemporary forces than historical tradition and that by understanding the "dissidents" we can better understand the emerging forms of political challenge in an age of austerity and increasing political instability internationally.

Download or read book Chicano Nations written by Marissa K. López and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the transnationalism that is central to Chicano identity originated in the global, postcolonial moment at the turn of the nineteenth century rather than as an effect of contemporary economic conditions, which began in the mid nineteenth century and primarily affected the laboring classes. The Spanish empire then began to implode, and colonists in the ?new world? debated the national contours of the viceroyalties. This is where the author locates the origins of Chicano literature, which is now and always has been ?postnational,? encompassing the wealthy, the poor, the white, and the mestizo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999. The subject categories for Volume 60 are as follows: Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Music Philosophy: Latin American Thought
Download or read book Beyond Civilization and Barbarism written by Brendan Lanctot and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Civilization and Barbarism examines how various cultural forms promoted competing political projects in Argentina during the decades following independence from Spain. This turbulent period has long been characterized as a struggle between two irreconcilable forces: the dictatorship of Juan Manuel de Rosas (1829-1852) versus a dissident intellectual elite. Most famously, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento described the conflict in his canonical Facundo (1845) as a clash between civilization and barbarism, which has become a catchphrase for the experience of modernity throughout Latin America. Against the grain of this durable script, Beyond Civilization and Barbarism examines an extensive corpus to demonstrate how adversaries of the period used similar rhetorical strategies, appealed to the same basic political ideals of republican government, and were preoccupied with defining and interpellating the pueblo, or people. In other words, their collective struggle was fundamentally modern and waged on a mutually intelligible discursive terrain.

Download or read book Recollections of a Provincial Past written by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888) was Argentina's leading writer, educator, and politician of the nineteenth century, and served as President from 1868 to 1874. Of his several autobiographies, the best-known Recollections of a Provincial Past is one of the indisputable classics of Spanish American literature, as well as one of the earliest autobiographies written in the Americas in Spanish. Written in exile in 1850, the memoirs describe his childhood and adolescence in an Andean province whose customs were still those of a colony. Sarmiento presents his life as the triumph of civilization over barbarism; looking back on his youth, he measures his wealth and strength by the accumulation of enriching personal and political experiences. He compares himself to the newly independent Argentina, claiming to be a historically representative individual whose trajectory seves to illuminate contemporary South America.
Download or read book Transnational South America written by Ori Preuss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the crossroad of intellectual, diplomatic, and cultural history, this book examines flows of information, men, and ideas between South American cities—mainly the port-capitals of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro—during the period of their modernization. The book reconstructs this largely overlooked trend toward connectedness both as an objective process and as an assemblage of visions and policies concentrating on diverse transnational practices such as translation, travel, public visits and conferences, the print press, cultural diplomacy, intertextuality, and institutional and personal contacts. Inspired by the entangled history approach and the spatial turn in the humanities, the book highlights the importance of cross-border exchanges within the South American continent. It thus offers a correction to two major traditions in the historiography of ideas and identities in modern Latin America: the predominance of the nation-state as the main unit of analysis, and the concentration on relationships with Europe and the U.S. as the main axis of cultural exchange. Modernization, it is argued, brought segments of South America’s capital cities not only close to Paris, London, and New York, as is commonly claimed, but also to each other both physically and mentally, creating and recreating spaces, ways of thinking, and cultural-political projects at the national and regional levels.
