Download or read book Indios written by Linda Hogan and published by Wings Press. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with powerful imagery, this poem relates the tragic story of Indios, a native woman falsely accused of the death of her children. As it echoes the plight of other women like Indios—including Malinche, Pocahontas, La Llorona, and Medea—this narrative conveys the truth of a history twisted to suit the needs of a conquering power. Weaving Native American history with contemporary situations, this evocative poem focuses on the concept and consequences of the oppression of women.
Book Synopsis To Be Indio in Colonial Spanish America by : Mónica Díaz
Download or read book To Be Indio in Colonial Spanish America written by Mónica Díaz and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conquest and colonization of the Americas imposed new social, legal, and cultural categories upon vast and varied populations of indigenous people. The colonizers’ intent was to homogenize these cultures and make all of them “Indian.” The creation of those new identities is the subject of the essays collected in Díaz’s To Be Indio in Colonial Spanish America. Focusing on central Mexico and the Andes (colonial New Spain and Peru), the contributors deepen scholarly knowledge of colonial history and literature, emphasizing the different ways people became and lived their lives as “indios.” While the construction of indigenous identities has been a theme of considerable interest among Latin Americanists since the early 1990s, this book presents new archival research and interpretive thinking, offering new material and a new approach to the subject to both scholars of colonial Peru and central Mexico.
Book Synopsis Global Indios by : Nancy E. van Deusen
Download or read book Global Indios written by Nancy E. van Deusen and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sixteenth century hundreds of thousands of indios—indigenous peoples from the territories of the Spanish empire—were enslaved and relocated throughout the Iberian world. Although various laws and decrees outlawed indio enslavement, several loopholes allowed the practice to continue. In Global Indios Nancy E. van Deusen documents the more than one hundred lawsuits between 1530 and 1585 that indio slaves living in Castile brought to the Spanish courts to secure their freedom. Because plaintiffs had to prove their indio-ness in a Spanish imperial context, these lawsuits reveal the difficulties of determining who was an indio and who was not—especially since it was an all-encompassing construct connoting subservience and political personhood and at times could refer to people from Mexico, Peru, or South or East Asia. Van Deusen demonstrates that the categories of free and slave were often not easily defined, and she forces a rethinking of the meaning of indio in ways that emphasize the need to situate colonial Spanish American indigenous subjects in a global context.

Book Synopsis Virtues of the Indian/Virtudes del indio by : Bishop Juan de Palafox y Mendoza
Download or read book Virtues of the Indian/Virtudes del indio written by Bishop Juan de Palafox y Mendoza and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book is the first complete seventeenth-century treatise on Native Americans to be introduced, annotated, and translated into English. Presented in a parallel text translation, it brings the work of the controversial and powerful Bishop Juan de Palafox to non-Spanish speakers for the first time. A seminal document in the history of colonial Mexico and imperial Spain, Virtues of the Indian tells us as much about the Mexican natives as about the ideas, images, and representations upon which the Spanish Empire in America was built. Taken as a whole, this book will raise questions about the Spanish empire and the governance of New Spain's Indians. Even more significantly, it will complicate the prevailing view of Spanish imperialism and colonial society as one dominated by a unified and coherent ruling elite with common goals. The deeply-informed introduction, biographical essay, and annotations that accompany this vivid translation further explore the thoughts and actions of the dynamic and complex Palafox, contributing to a better knowledge of a key figure in the history of Spanish colonialism in the New World.
Book Synopsis The Mark of Rebels by : Barry Robinson
Download or read book The Mark of Rebels written by Barry Robinson and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consequently, the privileges that the indios fronterizos sought to preserve continued to diminish, unable to survive either the late colonial reforms of the Spanish regime or creole conceptions of race and property in the formation of the new nation-state. This story suggests that Mexico's transition from colony to nation can only be understood by revisiting the origins of the colonial system and by recognizing the role of Spain's indigenous allies in both its construction and demolition. The study relates events in the region to broader patterns of identity, loyalty, and subversion throughout the Americas, providing insight into the process of mestizaje that is commonly understood to have shaped Latin America. It also foreshadows the popular conservatism of the nineteenth century and identifies the roots of post-colonial social unrest.
Book Synopsis The Protector de Indios in Colonial New Mexico, 1659-1821 by : Charles R. Cutter
Download or read book The Protector de Indios in Colonial New Mexico, 1659-1821 written by Charles R. Cutter and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the provision for justice in Spain's colonies, perhaps the highest expression of idealism came in laws concerning the treatment of native peoples. Colonial authorities, however, often failed to uphold well-intentioned legislation. One notable exception, though, was in the work of the officials appointed by the Spanish government to represent Indians in legal matters--the protector de indios. Cutter provides in his study a valuable glimpse of the life of Native Americans as well as their dealings with various agents of Spain on her colonial frontier. The Indians in New Mexico, through the protector, gained entry to the Spanish legal system. On occasion, they even initiated litigation to uphold their rights. A key role played by the protector was vigilance toward Hispanic encroachment upon the pueblos' land. The impact of the protector's role remains a part of the Pueblo Indian legacy, for it helped to establish precedents that are crucial to the native peoples' ability to defend their territorial integrity today. This study is indispensable for all who are interested in the Indian and Hispanic cultures of the Southwest, and especially the clash of those two groups over land rights.--Jacket flap
Book Synopsis An Expedition to the Ranquel Indians by : Lucio V. Mansilla
Download or read book An Expedition to the Ranquel Indians written by Lucio V. Mansilla and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The encounter between Native American peoples and Europeans and their descendants has marked the history of every nation in the Americas, both North and South. Lucio Mansilla’s Una excursión a los indios ranqueles, published in Argentina in 1870, is one of very few works in American letters that presents a vivid, firsthand account of a noncombative encounter between Native American and European civilizations. This volume is the first English translation of Mansilla’s classic work. Long noted for its humor, adventurousness, and narrative ingenuity, the book offers penetrating insights into fundamental issues of "civilization and barbarism," immigration, ethnic and racial diversity, and land ownership and tenancy. Mansilla alone among his contemporaries espoused open dialogue as the best approach to the "Indian problem." Although the peace accord he sought to enact with the Ranquels was summarily disregarded by the Argentine government, which slowly gravitated towards a policy of ethnic cleansing and expropriation of Indian lands, the Expedition does narrate a rehearsal for a reconciliation that in the end never took place.

Book Synopsis A Visit to the Ranquel Indians by : Lucio V. Mansilla
Download or read book A Visit to the Ranquel Indians written by Lucio V. Mansilla and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucio V. Mansilla (1831–1913), the widely traveled and cultured scion of a famous family, was a colonel in the Argentine army when he undertook an “excursion” to the Argentine interior in 1870 to visit natives in areas then largely unknown. Mansilla’s uncle, dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas, dominated most of Argentina from 1829 to 1852 and had led successful military expeditions against the frontier Indians in 1852. Mansilla set out for a reconnaissance into the tense border region just after a peace treaty had been signed with the Indians. Over the course of this expedition, Mansilla sent to a friend in the capital a series of letters which were then serially published in a leading Buenos Aires newspaper. His careful observations offer valuable ethnographic data, as Argentina’s Indians were almost totally extinguished or assimilated within a few generations of Mansilla’s expedition. Furthermore, his account, which contains thoughtful perspectives on the “Indian question” and the dichotomy of civilization and barbarism, stands as a lasting contribution to Argentine and Spanish-American literature. Mansilla’s work both in this account and elsewhere made him a leading figure in the Argentina “Generation of 1880,” a group crucial in the development of Argentine literary and intellectual life.
