Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the Aztec Empire fell to Spain in 1521, three principal heirs of the last emperor, Moctezuma II, survived the conquest and were later acknowledged by the Spanish victors as reyes naturales (natural kings or monarchs) who possessed certain inalienable rights as Indian royalty. For their part, the descendants of Moctezuma II used Spanish law and customs to maintain and enhance their status throughout the colonial period, achieving titles of knighthood and nobility in Mexico and Spain. So respected were they that a Moctezuma descendant by marriage became Viceroy of New Spain (colonial Mexico's highest governmental office) in 1696. This authoritative history follows the fortunes of the principal heirs of Moctezuma II across nearly two centuries. Drawing on extensive research in both Mexican and Spanish archives, Donald E. Chipman shows how daughters Isabel and Mariana and son Pedro and their offspring used lawsuits, strategic marriages, and political maneuvers and alliances to gain pensions, rights of entailment, admission to military orders, and titles of nobility from the Spanish government. Chipman also discusses how the Moctezuma family history illuminates several larger issues in colonial Latin American history, including women's status and opportunities and trans-Atlantic relations between Spain and its New World colonies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An unprecedented tour de force . . . [A] sweeping historical overview and interpretation of the racial formation and racial history of Mexican Americans.” —Antonia I. Castañeda, Associate Professor of History, St. Mary’s University Winner, A Choice Outstanding Academic Book The history of Mexican Americans is a history of the intermingling of races—Indian, White, and Black. This racial history underlies a legacy of racial discrimination against Mexican Americans and their Mexican ancestors that stretches from the Spanish conquest to current battles over ending affirmative action and other assistance programs for ethnic minorities. Asserting the centrality of race in Mexican American history, Martha Menchaca here offers the first interpretive racial history of Mexican Americans, focusing on racial foundations and race relations from preHispanic times to the present. Menchaca uses the concept of racialization to describe the process through which Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. authorities constructed racial status hierarchies that marginalized Mexicans of color and restricted their rights of land ownership. She traces this process from the Spanish colonial period and the introduction of slavery through racial laws affecting Mexican Americans into the late twentieth-century. This re-viewing of familiar history through the lens of race recovers Blacks as important historical actors, links Indians and the mission system in the Southwest to the Mexican American present, and reveals the legal and illegal means by which Mexican Americans lost their land grants. “Martha Menchaca has begun an intellectual insurrection by challenging the pristine aboriginal origins of Mexican Americans as historically inaccurate . . . Menchaca revisits the process of racial formation in the northern part of Greater Mexico from the Spanish conquest to the present.” —Hispanic American Historical Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Mexico's Spanish legacy has informed the cultural traditions of one of the last states to join the union for more than four hundred years, or before the alluring capital of Santa Fe was founded in 1610. The fame the region gained from artist Georgia O'Keefe, writers Lew Wallace and D.H. Lawrence and pistolero Billy the Kid has made New Mexico an international tourist destination. But the Spanish annals also have enriched the Land of Enchantment with the factual stories of a superhero knight, the greatest queen in history, a saintly gent whose coffin periodically rises from the depths of the earth and a mysterious ancient map. Join author Ray John de Aragón as he reveals hidden treasure full of suspense and intrigue.

Download or read book Esquer Family Genealogy, a Journey Through the Generations written by and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-17 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Esquer family originated in the Spanish Basque province of Navarra. The family gained prominence around the beginning of the eighteenth century in Mexico City and on the northwestern frontier of New Spain. The social aspirations, religious beliefs, and traditions that sailed with the family to the New World in the late seventeenth century typified the culture of New Spain. This made it possible for the family to quickly adapt to the norms of their new home in colonial Spain, and to forge bonds to enhance their social and economic status. Upon arrival in New Spain, the Esquer family wasted no time in arranging marriage alliances with local Spanish and Creole families. Such marriages brought the Esquer family into the fold of the socially elite, as evidenced by their genealogy. This book is a journey through the centuries that follows the Esquer family from their home region of Navarra, Spain, to the northwestern frontier of New Spain, and into the early years of the Mexican Republic (from 1550 to 1850). It is a genealogy that was created from civil and Catholic Church archival sources, primarily for the Spanish provinces of Sinaloa, Sonora, and Alta California. The book's purpose is to serve as a resource for those searching their family's roots in the above- named geographic areas. Much of what is recorded is focused in what are today the cities of Culiacán, Sinaloa, and Álamos, Sonora, Mexico. It also features members of the 1775-1776 Juan Bautista de Anza expedition to Alta California. The genealogy follows a narrative format and is grouped by generation through the eighth generation. Known children of the eighth generation are included but with less information. The book features documented life events, such as births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials for more than 1,000 Esquer descendants, including spouses. Names of subjects, parents, spouses, witnesses, and godparents are included and indexed, and the source for each event is cited in a footnote.This current publication is a companion volume to the book, Esquer Family Chronicles, 1600-1800: From the Basque Country to the Northwestern Frontier of New Spain, originally written and published by Stella Cardoza in 2014 as a history of the Esquer family. An updated version is scheduled to be published in 2020.
