Book Synopsis Spanish Central America by : Murdo J. MacLeod
Download or read book Spanish Central America written by Murdo J. MacLeod and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth century has been characterized as "Latin America's forgotten century." This landmark work, originally published in 1973, attempted to fill the vacuum in knowledge by providing an account of the first great colonial cycle in Spanish Central America. The colonial Spanish society of the sixteenth century was very different from that described in the eighteenth century. What happened in the Latin American colonies between the first conquests, the seizure of long-accumulated Indian wealth, the first silver booms, and the period of modern raw material supply? How did Latin America move from one stage to the other? What were these intermediate economic stages, and what effect did they have on the peoples living in Latin America? These questions continue to resonate in Latin American studies today, making this updated edition of Murdo J. MacLeod's original work more relevant than ever. Colonial Central America was a large, populous, and always strategically significant stretch of land. With the Yucatán, it was home of the Maya, one of the great pre-Columbian cultures. MacLeod examines the long-term process it underwent of relative prosperity, depression, and then recovery, citing comparative sources on Europe to describe Central America's great economic, demographic, and social cycles. With an updated historiographical and bibliographical introduction, this fascinating study should appeal to historians, anthropologists, and all who are interested in the colonial experience of Latin America.

Book Synopsis A Brief History of Central America by : Hector Perez-Brignoli
Download or read book A Brief History of Central America written by Hector Perez-Brignoli and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1989-11-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first interpretive history of Central America by a Central American historian to be published in English. Anyone with an interest in current events in the region will find here an insightful and well-written guide to the history of its five national states—Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Traces of a common past invite us to make generalizations about the region, even to posit the idea of a Central American nation. But, as Hector Perez-Brignoli shows us, we can learn more from a comparative approach that establishes both the points of convergence and the separate paths taken by the five different countries of Central America. The author offers a concise overview of the region's history from the sixteenth century to the present, beginning with human and cultural geography in the first chapter and ending with the present crisis in the last. He deals with the fundamental themes and problems of the area: the characteristics of the colonial heritage, independence and the crisis of the Federal Republic, the formation of nation-states during the nineteenth century, and the development of export agriculture based on coffee and bananas. The narrative moves finally into the twentieth century to look at the growing impoverishment that multiplies inequalities and leads to the shipwreck of liberal democracy. The case of Costa Rica, exceptional in more ways than one, receives special attention.
Book Synopsis State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1 by : Miguel A. Centeno
Download or read book State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1 written by Miguel A. Centeno and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The chapters tell how these countries went about constructing systems of authority that could manage their territories, support economic development, provide basic services, and promote a sense of national community. The book can serve as an introduction to nineteenth-century Latin America and Spain, as a historical guide to the process of state building, and as a tool for experts looking for the latest work by leading scholars in the field.

Book Synopsis Independence in Central America and Chiapas, 1770–1823 by : Aaron Pollack
Download or read book Independence in Central America and Chiapas, 1770–1823 written by Aaron Pollack and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central America was the only part of the far-reaching Spanish Empire in continental America not to experience destructive independence wars in the period between 1810 and 1824. The essays in this volume draw on new historical research to explain why, and to delve into what did happen during the independence period in Central America and Chiapas. The contributors, distinguished scholars from Central America, North America, and Europe, consider themes of power, rebellion, sovereignty, and resistance throughout the Kingdom of Guatemala beginning in the late eighteenth century and ending with independence from Spain and the debate surrounding the decision to join the Mexican Empire. Their work reveals that a “conflict-free” separation from Spain was more complex than is usually understood, and shows how such a separation was crucial to late-nineteenth-century developments. These essays tell us how different groups seized on the political instabilities of Spain to maximize their interests; how Latin American elites prepared elaborate rituals to legitimize power dynamics; why the Spanish military governor Bustamante’s role in Central America should be reconsidered; how Indian and popular uprisings had more to do with tax burdens than with independence rhetoric; how the scholastic thought of Thomas Aquinas played a role in political thinking during the independence period; and why Mexico’s Plan de Iguala, the independence program promoted by Agustín de Iturbide, finally broke Central American elites’ ties to Spain. Focusing on regional and small-town dynamics as well as urban elites, these essays combine to offer an unusually broad and varied perspective on and a new understanding of Central America in the period of independence.

Book Synopsis Guatemala in the Spanish Colonial Period by : Oakah L. Jones
Download or read book Guatemala in the Spanish Colonial Period written by Oakah L. Jones and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive narrative history of Guatemala, the cultural and political heart of colonial Central America, focuses on the three centuries from the arrival of the conquistador Pedro de Alvarado in 1524 to the modern nation's declaration of independence in 1821. Distinguished historian Oakah L. Jones, Jr., examines both chronologically and topically the geography and the indigenous people of the region; Spain's conquest and initial colonization from 1524 to about 1540; government and administration under the Habsburgs and the Bourbons; the Roman Catholic Church; Spanish-Indian relations and labor practices; land, towns, and the economy; the colonial society and culture; and the effects of such natural disasters as earthquakes and of Spain's defenses of the colony and Kingdom of Guatemala. The author's research both in primary documents located in Spain, Guatemala, and the United States and in published monographs in Spanish and English makes this general history useful both to scholars and to general readers, who will also value its chronology of major events and glossary of terms. Because Guatemala's role was pivotal within the Kingdom of Guatemala (which included present-day Chiapas, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica), this history is an excellent introduction to the effects of Spanish rule in Central America. Guatemala in the colonial period was a dynamic political entity, and Spain left important, enduring legacies in today's modern republic.

Download or read book Latin American Spanish written by John M. Lipski and published by Longman Publishing Group. This book was released on 1994 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of the book presents a linguistic analysis of Latin American Spanish and places it in a broad historical context. The author examines the phonology and morphology of the language, its syntactic and lexical variation and social differentiation, its past and present contacts with other languages and also explores the sociohistorical factors which have shaped the various Latin American Spanish dialects. He provides the reader with a detailed account of the influence of African and Native American languages and populations, and assesses the contribution made by Peninsular Spanish. This includes the geographical and social origins of the original Spanish settlers, the effects of dialect levelling and nautical language and subsequent migratory patterns. There are also in-depth evaluations of dialect classification schemes.
