Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la difusión del modelo y la devoción a Jesús Cautivo y Rescatado, en su iconografía del Ecce-Homo, por todo el territorio nacional e internacional, ha jugado un papel protagonista la imagen devotísima del afamado Cristo de Medinaceli, escultura anónima venerada en Madrid desde 1682, pero de origen sevillano, que se encuentra profundamente ligada a las órdenes de Trinitarios Descalzos y de Capuchinos. Más de tres siglos después de la llegada a la capital de España, de la imagen de Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, rescatada de su cautiverio en Mequinez y de su depósito en sucesivas capillas, siempre bajo el patronato de los duques de Medinaceli, sigue muy vigente su culto, su devoción y su historia siempre rodeada de leyendas y percances. Con el fin de acrecentar el conocimiento sobre la imagen del Cristo de Medinaceli, ve la luz ahora este libro que conjuga la historia de la imagen con la de la Archicofradía que le rinde culto desde 1710, habiendo llegado hasta nuestros días como una de las más pujantes y, sin duda, como la más numerosa de cuantas configuran la Semana Santa de Madrid. Un cuidado texto, cronológicamente ordenado desde los orígenes hasta nuestros días, fruto de una minuciosa investigación que ha propiciado datos inéditos, y que ha bebido de fuentes originarias y, muy especialmente, de las propias actas de la Archicofradía, junto a una extensa bibliografía, viene a configurar unido al siempre agradecido documento gráfico, que en este caso no dejará indiferente a nadie, un discurso de máximo rigor científico, objetivo, rico y sugerente.

Book excerpt: Teresa de Santo Domingo, born with the name Chicaba, was a slave captured in the territory known to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Spanish and Portuguese navigators and slave traffickers as La Mina Baja del Oro, the part of West Africa that extends through present-day eastern Ghana, Togo, Benin, and western Nigeria. Upon the death of her Spanish master, Chicaba was freed to enter a convent. The Dominicans of La Penitencia in Salamanca accepted her after she had been rejected by several other monasteries because of her skin color. Even in her own religious community, race put her at a disadvantage in the highly stratified social hierarchy of monastic houses of the era. Her life story is known to us through a document entitled Compendio de la vida ejemplar de la Venerable Madre Sor Teresa Juliana de Santo Domingo, which is the foundational documentary evidence in the case for beatification of this nun, and as such it is the most significant and comprehensive source of information about her. This volume, the first English translation of the Compendio, is a hagiography, an example of a biographical genre that recounts the lives and describes the spiritual practices of saints officially canonized by the Church, respected ecclesiastical leaders, or holy people informally recognized by local devotees. The effort to have Chicaba canonized continues today, as Fra-Molinero and Houchins explore in their introduction to the volume.

This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through newly unearthed texts virtually unknown in Andean studies, Indians and Mestizos in the "Lettered City" highlights the Andean intellectual tradition of writing in their long-term struggle for social empowerment and questions the previous understanding of the "lettered city" as a privileged space populated solely by colonial elites. Rarely acknowledged in studies of resistance to colonial rule, these writings challenged colonial hierarchies and ethnic discrimination in attempts to redefine the Andean role in colonial society. Scholars have long assumed that Spanish rule remained largely undisputed in Peru between the 1570s and 1780s, but educated elite Indians and mestizos challenged the legitimacy of Spanish rule, criticized colonial injustice and exclusion, and articulated the ideas that would later be embraced in the Great Rebellion in 1781. Their movement extended across the Atlantic as the scholars visited the seat of the Spanish empire to negotiate with the king and his advisors for social reform, lobbied diverse networks of supporters in Madrid and Peru, and struggled for admission to religious orders, schools and universities, and positions in ecclesiastic and civil administration. Indians and Mestizos in the "Lettered City" explores how scholars contributed to social change and transformation of colonial culture through legal, cultural, and political activism, and how, ultimately, their significant colonial critiques and campaigns redefined colonial public life and discourse. It will be of interest to scholars and students of colonial history, colonial literature, Hispanic studies, and Latin American studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1569 the Spanish viceroy Francisco de Toledo ordered more than one million native people of the central Andes to move to newly founded Spanish-style towns called reducciones. This campaign, known as the General Resettlement of Indians, represented a turning point in the history of European colonialism: a state forcing an entire conquered society to change its way of life overnight. But while this radical restructuring destroyed certain aspects of indigenous society, Jeremy Ravi Mumford's Vertical Empire reveals the ways that it preserved others. The campaign drew on colonial ethnographic inquiries into indigenous culture and strengthened the place of native lords in colonial society. In the end, rather than destroying the web of Andean communities, the General Resettlement added another layer to indigenous culture, a culture that the Spaniards glimpsed and that Andeans defended fiercely.
