Download or read book Sin, Crimes, and Retribution in Early Latin America written by Felix Jay and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A specialist in the Spanish conquest of the Americas translates 16th century "murder and mayhem" accounts of two Peruvian conquistadors, Lope de Aguirre and "the demon of the Andes" Francisco de Carvajal; and 17th century "tales from Bogota" about the Conquest by Juan Rodriguez Freyle. For each section, Jay provides a chronology, eyewitness and secondary sources, and a glossary of indigenous and Spanish terms/place names. These were hardly the good old days in the New World, as one hapless native senora got hung, garrotted, and shot for allegedly plotting against a provincial official. No index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric Ames draws on original archival research to provide fresh perspectives on Werner Herzog's breakthrough 1972 film, Aguirre, the Wrath of God (Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes), which portrays an expedition by Spanish conquistadors led by Aguirre (played by Klaus Kinski) to find the legendary city of El Dorado. Ames explores how the film is remembered: for its breathtaking visual style and narrative power, but also for Herzog's tense, behind-the-scenes relationship with star Kinski. Did Herzog really direct him at gunpoint? Did they plot each other's murder? The legends begin here ... Ames reconstructs the film as an experiment in visualising the past from the viewpoint of the present. Aguirre is not a history film in the narrow sense, but it does engage a specific episode in the conquest of the New World, and it explores that history in terms of vision. Interweaving close analysis with extensive archival research, Ames explores Aguirre as a seminal film about the madness and hopelessness of Western striving. In addition, as an appendix, he offers for the first time a complete translation of an infamous, secretly recorded argument between Herzog and Kinski on the set.

Download or read book Radical Journalists, Generalist Intellectuals, and U.S.-Latin American Relations written by Virginia S. Williams and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work details the thoughts of five non-mainstream intellectuals who attempted to re-shape the way Latin America was perceived by the United States during the first six decades of the 20th century. The works of the alternative intellectuals are an important component of the literature, but much of their work has been relegated to obscurity because they were educated generalists who crossed disciplinary boundaries and disciplines. They anticipated the scholarship of the 1960s-70s in which questions arose about Latin American dependency and nationalism, and wrote about the more subtle forms of imperialism - indirect control through economic means - long before most American scholars of Latin America followed suit. Individuals examined are Herschel Brickell, Samuel Guy Inman, Carleton Beals, Waldo Frank, and Frank Tannenbaum.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of a social history of the Catholic Church in Chile describes and interprets the historiography of bishops, priests, religious, Christian communities and lay people during the years 1973-1980 by the use of ecclesiastical primary sources and oral testimonies. In 1973 Augusto Pinochet led a military coup that had enormous repercussions for the history of Chile and for the pastoral actions of the Catholic Church led by Cardinal Silva Henriquez. This book examines the historiography of the period in the context of the universal church, the Latin American churches and the development of a very strong network of parish communities that sheltered the persecuted and defended the right of the Church to speak against a totalitarian state. Its author has used a significantly large number of unpublished and unknown primary historical sources that make this volume the most significant historical work in English for the history of the Chilean Church from the military coup to the approval of the new Chilean Constitution in 1980. findings of human remains of political prisoners at Lonquen and it analyses the role of the Church within that social process.

Download or read book Popular Art and Social Change in the Retablos of Nicario Jiménez Quispe written by Carol Damian and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quispe is a Quechua speaker from the highlands of the Peruvian Andes, and an artist of the retablo, a folk and popular art form that descended from European portable altars featuring images of venerated saints and virgins that Spanish colonizers brought with them in the 16th and 17th centuries. US scholars of history, art history, and Spanish explore the evolution of the art form, Quispe's testimonial retablos, art as autobiography, Quispe's arrival to El Norte, and his art in the 21st century. Interviews with him are also provided, as are several monochrome photographs of his work. A recurring theme is the tension between tradition and change in the genre and the culture generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines United States-Latin American relations. It argues that US policy toward Latin America was driven by fear of economic nationalism. Economic nationalists in Latin America in the 1950s wanted to control foreign trade and investment in their nations, to diversify their economies and, in some cases, promote industrialization. The study examines how US officals used economic aid policy in Guatemala and Bolivia to eliminate economic nationalism in those nations.

Download or read book Rediscovering the Language of the Tribe in Modern Venezulan Poetry written by Elizabeth Gackstetter Nichols and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the work of two revolutionary modern poet groups, Trafico and Guaire. The poets of these groups, heady with the success of one of Latin America's oldest democracies, and reared in the optimistic climate of the petroleum boom, felt sure of their ability to defy their poetic predessors be revitalising poetry with a populist infusion of everyday images and colloquial language. Using a cultural studies approach, this work examines the historical and cultural context of the poetic revolution they achieved, and discusses specific texts by many of the members, including Armando Rojas Guardia, Yolanda Pantin, Rafael Castill Zapata, Igor Barreto, Miguel Marquez and Rafael Arraiz Lucca. Textual analysis and consideration of cultural influences show how the main temes of the poets' work: everyday life, alienation, love and self-reflective metapoetry reflect the specific modern, urban enviroment of Caracas in the early 1980s.
