This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 1172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los verdaderos protagonistas de la historia son hombres y mujeres cuyas vidas encarnan la grandeza pero también la miseria del ser humano. Lejos están de ser los héroes de bronce inmortalizados en los libros oficiales de texto. Esta es la visión con la que Armando Fuentes Aguirre, "Catón", retrata al gran seductor de la patria: Antonio López de Santa Anna. Desde la labor del periodista y el divulgador, Catón se pregunta si Santa Anna, su Alteza Serenísima, ha sido el mayor truhán de la historia mexicana. Y si así lo fuera, ¿actuó él solo en sus fechorías? ¿Es posible que un solo hombre haya causado tantos males al país? Armando Fuentes Aguirre vuelve a deleitar a sus lectores con un libro apasionante que retrata el México caótico y convulsionado de la época de Santa Anna; donde las traiciones, las ambiciones de poder y las conspiraciones definirían el rumbo de la nación.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La Güera Rodríguez (1778-1850) is a fascinating Mexican woman who has become an icon of the nation's popular culture. She has been--erroneously--portrayed as a courtesan who seduced Simón Bolívar, Alexander von Humboldt, and Agustín de Iturbide; a major independence heroine; and a feminist who defied the conventions of her day. This book reconstructs her true life story and then shows when and why false facts and apocryphal stories appeared to create her legendary figure. It thus illuminates both the neglected social history of her day and the degree to which historical memory reflects ever-changing worldviews and concerns"--

Download or read book Juárez. La otra historia written by José Luis Trueba and published by Océano. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La mirada del señor presidente era idéntica a la de un animal muerto. Apenas movió la cabeza para aceptar las palabras de Escobedo. El horno no estaba para bollos y valía más llevar la fiesta en paz. A pesar de la victoria le sobraban enemigos, y el comandante en jefe debía seguir a su lado. Por más que le llevara la contra no podía darse el lujo de perderlo. La presidencia valía más que su furia." Bestia negra de los historiadores conservadores, ídolo impoluto de los liberales, Benito Juárez fue siempre una figura controvertida, mucho más compleja de lo que ambas visiones dejan atisbar. Alejado de los extremos en que se sitúan la hagiografía y el pasquín furioso, José Luis Trueba Lara presenta a un político hábil, lleno de claroscuros, amado y temido por igual. En esta novela coral, con la que el autor continúa su exploración narrativa por la historia de México, se asoman las voces de Margarita Maza, Concha Miramón, Porfirio Díaz, Ignacio Zaragoza, la emperatriz Carlota y otros personajes de la época. Sus distintas tesituras tejen el retrato de uno de nuestros presidentes más fascinantes y de una de las épocas más convulsas de nuestro pasado.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico’s Reforma, the mid-nineteenth-century liberal revolution, decisively shaped the country by disestablishing the Catholic Church, secularizing public affairs, and laying the foundations of a truly national economy and culture. The Lawyer of the Church is an examination of the Mexican clergy’s response to the Reforma through a study of the life and works of Bishop Clemente de Jesús Munguía (1810–68), one of the most influential yet least-known figures of the period. By analyzing how Munguía responded to changing political and intellectual scenarios in defense of the clergy’s legal prerogatives and social role, Pablo Mijangos y González argues that the Catholic Church opposed the liberal revolution not because of its supposed attachment to a bygone past but rather because of its efforts to supersede colonial tradition and refashion itself within a liberal yet confessional state. With an eye on the international influences and dimensions of the Mexican church-state conflict, The Lawyer of the Church also explores how Mexican bishops gradually tightened their relationship with the Holy See and simultaneously managed to incorporate the papacy into their local affairs, thus paving the way for the eventual “Romanization” of Mexican Catholicism during the later decades of the century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It’s a wonderful, splendid book—a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future.” —Howard Fast, author of Spartacus and The Immigrants “[It] should be required reading.” —Eric Foner, New York Times Book Review Library Journal calls Howard Zinn’s iconic A People's History of the United States “a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those…whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories.” Packed with vivid details and telling quotations, Zinn’s award-winning classic continues to revolutionize the way American history is taught and remembered. Frequent appearances in popular media such as The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Good Will Hunting, and the History Channel documentary The People Speak testify to Zinn’s ability to bridge the generation gap with enduring insights into the birth, development, and destiny of the nation.

Download or read book Historia de la Conquista de México written by James Lockhart and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians are concerned today that the Spaniards' early accounts of their first experiences with the Indians in the Americas should be balanced with accounts from the Indian perspective. We People Here reflects that concern, bringing together important and revealing documents written in the Nahuatl language in sixteenth-century Mexico. James Lockhart's superior translation combines contemporary English with the most up-to-date, nuanced understanding of Nahuatl grammar and meaning. The foremost Nahuatl conquest account is Book Twelve of the Florentine Codex. In this monumental work, Fray Bernardino de Sahag�n commissioned Nahuas to collect and record in their own language accounts of the conquest of Mexico; he then added a parallel Spanish account that is part summary, part elaboration of the Nahuatl. Now, for the first time, the Nahuatl and Spanish texts are together in one volume with en face English translations and reproductions of the copious illustrations from the Codex. Also included are five other Nahua conquest texts. Lockhart's introduction discusses each one individually, placing the narratives in context.

Download or read book Constructing Citizenship written by Catherine A. Nolan-Ferrell and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, people living in the coffee-producing region of the Sierra Madre mountains along the Pacific Coast of Mexico and Guatemala paid little attention to national borders. The Mexican Revolution,—particularly during the 1930s reconstruction phase—ruptured economic and social continuity because access to revolutionary reforms depended on claiming Mexican national identity. Impoverished, often indigenous rural workers on both sides of the border used shifting ideas of citizenship and cultural belonging to gain power and protect their economic and social interests. With this book Catherine Nolan-Ferrell builds on recent theoretical approaches to state formation and transnationalism to explore the ways that governments, elites, and marginalized laborers claimed and contested national borders. By investigating how various groups along the Mexico-Guatemala border negotiated nationality, Constructing Citizenship offers insights into the complex development of transnational communities, the links between identity and citizenship, and the challenges of integrating disparate groups into a cohesive nation. Entwined with a labor history of rural workers, Nolan-Ferrell also shows how labor struggles were a way for poor Mexicans and migrant Guatemalans to assert claims to national political power and social inclusion. Combining oral histories with documentary research from local, regional, and national archives to provide a complete picture of how rural laborers along Mexico's southern border experienced the years before, during, and after the Mexican Revolution, this book will appeal not only to Mexicanists but also to scholars interested in transnational identity, border studies, social justice, and labor history.

Download or read book Women in International and Universal Exhibitions, 1876–1937 written by Rebecca Rogers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for the importance of bringing women and gender more directly into the dynamic field of exposition studies. Reclaiming women for the history of world fairs (1876-1937), it also seeks to introduce new voices into these studies, dialoguing across disciplinary and national historiographies. From the outset, women participated not only as spectators, but also as artists, writers, educators, artisans and workers, without figuring among the organizers of international exhibitions until the 20th century. Their presence became more pointedly acknowledged as feminist movements developed within the Western World and specific spaces dedicated to women’s achievements emerged. International exhibitions emerged as showcases of "modernity" and "progress," but also as windows onto the foreign, the different, the unexpected and the spectacular. As public rituals of celebration, they transposed national ceremonies and protests onto an international stage. For spectators, exhibitions brought the world home; for organizers, the entire world was a fair. Women were actors and writers of the fair narrative, although acknowledgment of their contribution was uneven and often ephemeral. Uncovering such silence highlights how gendered the triumphant history of modernity was, and reveals the ways women as a category engaged with modern life within that quintessential modern space—the world fair.
