Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las narraciones que han persistido sobre el Amazonas contribuyeron a configurarla, como espacio geográfico-histórico y simbólico. Las crónicas de Gaspar de Carvajal, Pedrarias de Almesto, Martín de Saavedra Galindo y Alonso de Rojas son parte de este conjunto de textos a través de los cuales se construyó históricamente el río Amazonas y su entorno. Son fuentes historiográficas, pero también testimonios de experiencias personales y colectivas, marcadas por la esperanza y el deseo de gloria por un lado; por el otro, por el hambre, el miedo, la crueldad y la miseria. Descubrimiento del río de las Amazonas incluye una serie de relaciones escritas en el siglo XVI que tratan de las expediciones por el río Amazonas, entre los años 1540 y 1560. La primera es la relación de fray Gaspar de Carvajal sobre el descubrimiento del río por un grupo de españoles, comandado por Gonzalo Pizarro, y que luego pasó a ser dirigido por Francisco de Orellana. Los datos de la expedición de Orellana registrados por fray Gaspar de Carvajal proporcionan información de gran interés etnológico, tales como la disposición y tamaño de los poblados, ocupación continua a lo largo de las barrancas del río, caminos amplios que comunican el río Amazonas con la tierra firme, tácticas de guerra, rituales, costumbres y utensilios. Otra narración que tiene también por protagonista al río Amazonas es la crónica de Pedrarias de Almesto. Este conquistador fue soldado y escribano a las órdenes de Pedro de Ursúa, a quien acompañó en la expedición de 1559 por el río Marañón, en busca del El Dorado. Luego se unió en la traición de Lope de Aguirre y con él estuvo hasta su llegada a Barquisemeto. Al sentirse acorralado por los soldados realistas, abandonó a Lope y se unió al grupo que terminó asesinando a su antiguo caudillo. Martín de Saavedra Galindo fue magistrado, barón de Prado, caballero de Calatrava y señor de las villas de Corozino y La Cesta. Nació en Córdoba. Fue Presidente del Nuevo Reino de Granada desde 1637 hasta 1644, en que renunció al cargo y volvió a España. Se le atribuye un Mapa del Amazonas. Alonso de Rojas era rector del Colegio de Quito cuando escribió la Relación del Descubrimiento del Río Amazonas. El manuscrito de Rojas, a todas luces, recoge relatos de los españoles que bajaron por el río y de los portugueses que llegaron a Quito. De las manos del autor pasó a las de Martín de Saavedra y Guzmán, gobernador de la Nueva Granada, que lo envió a España y que ha sido tomado como el autor del texto (así figura, inclusive, en el catálogo de la Biblioteca Nacional de España).

Download or read book Entangled Edens written by Candace Slater and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The skill with which [Slater] combines various levels and modalities of narrative, utilizing her personal experience as a colorful unifying thread, is truly remarkable."—Antonio Candido, author of Antonio Candido: On Literature and Society (Howard S. Becker, editor) "A very important book, that quite gracefully, elegantly, and persuasively moves beyond the usual 'myth and history' format to put at its center stories about the Amazon and the people who tell them. Entangled Edens persuasively argues that the Amazon can only be grasped, understood, and come to terms with through its myths and stories. It addresses a very real failing of modern environmentalism, which for all its virtues, tends to dehumanize and metaphorically depopulate, when it does not villainize, populations that do share its concerns or share them in very different ways. Instead of forcing us to choose between land and people, Slater uses the stories and the people who tell them to rethink human relations with nature and each other."—Richard White, author of The Organic Machine: The Remaking of the Columbia River "Elegant, erudite, profoundly serious, Entangled Edens is a source of inspiration and knowledge for the reader interested in the Amazon. Without the cultural tradition and the life experience of Amazonia’s people, any analysis of the Amazon risks becoming inconsequential or opportunistic. This is one of the powerful messages of this important reflection on the Amazon, whose greatest riches are ultimately its people. Candace Slater has written a book that will last."—Milton Hatoum, author of The Tree of the Seventh Heaven(1994) and The Brothers (2002)

Book Synopsis The Dominicans in the Americas and the Philippines (c. 1500–c. 1820) by : David T. Orique
Download or read book The Dominicans in the Americas and the Philippines (c. 1500–c. 1820) written by David T. Orique and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dominicans in the Americas and the Philippines (c. 1500–c. 1820) is part of a renewal of interest in the global history of the Dominican Order. Many of the essays were carefully selected among some of the papers presented at the III International Conference on the History of the Order of Preachers in the Americas, a gathering that stands in continuity with the conferences of Mexico (2013) and Bogotá (2016). This book, the contributors of which are active researchers specializing in the history of the Order of Preachers in Latin America, is organized in four parts: Women and the Order of Preachers; “Benditos Bienes”: Libraries and Material Patrimony; Missions, Devotional, and Daily Life; and The Order of Preachers and Their Writings. Contributions deal with different subfields including art history, gender studies, history of the book, and intellectual history more broadly. Additionally, it contains a chapter examining the historiography of the Order of Preachers in Latin America. Covering the time range from 1510 to the early nineteenth century, the book fills a gap in the historiography of the Order of Preachers in the Americas, especially in English-language scholarly literature. Students of Latin American history, the history of Christianity, and the history of global Catholicism will surely find the volume to be of great interest.
Book Synopsis Religious Transformations in the Early Modern Americas by : Stephanie Kirk
Download or read book Religious Transformations in the Early Modern Americas written by Stephanie Kirk and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity took root in the Americas during the early modern period when a historically unprecedented migration brought European clergy, religious seekers, and explorers to the New World. Protestant and Catholic settlers undertook the arduous journey for a variety of motivations. Some fled corrupt theocracies and sought to reclaim ancient principles and Christian ideals in a remote unsettled territory. Others intended to glorify their home nations and churches by bringing new lands and subjects under the rule of their kings. Many imagined the indigenous peoples they encountered as "savages" awaiting the salvific force of Christ. Whether by overtly challenging European religious authority and traditions or by adapting to unforeseen hardship and resistance, these envoys reshaped faith, liturgy, and ecclesiology and fundamentally transformed the practice and theology of Christianity. Religious Transformations in the Early Modern Americas explores the impact of colonial encounters in the Atlantic world on the history of Christianity. Essays from across disciplines examine religious history from a spatial perspective, tracing geographical movements and population dispersals as they were shaped by the millennial designs and evangelizing impulses of European empires. At the same time, religion provides a provocative lens through which to view patterns of social restriction, exclusion, and tension, as well as those of acculturation, accommodation, and resistance in a comparative colonial context. Through nuanced attention to the particularities of faith, especially Anglo-Protestant settlements in North America and the Ibero-Catholic missions in Latin America, Religious Transformations in the Early Modern Americas illuminates the complexity and variety of the colonial world as it transformed a range of Christian beliefs. Contributors: Ralph Bauer, David A. Boruchoff, Matt Cohen, Sir John Elliot, Carmen Fernández-Salvador, Júnia Ferreira Furtado, Sandra M. Gustafson, David D. Hall, Stephanie Kirk, Asunción Lavrin, Sarah Rivett, Teresa Toulouse.

Book Synopsis Salt of the Mountain by : Stefano Varese
Download or read book Salt of the Mountain written by Stefano Varese and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For four centuries, the Camp Ashaninkas of the Peruvian Amazon have fought for their identity and independence in the face of Spanish colonialism and Peruvian national expansionism. Stefan Varese wrote about the Campa Ashaninkas in the mid-1960s, after three seasons of field research among them and three years of archival research. He titled his book La Sal de Los Cerros, after the invaded Mountain of Salt that had been the center of Campa Ashaninka trade and power for millennia. Salt of the Mountain makes Varese's classic work of anthropology available in English for the first time, updated with a new preface and introduction by the author. Varese conducted his research with an explicit commitment to letting the Campa Ashaninkas speak for themselves. Using their myths and cosmological interpretations as source material, Varese presents new readings of both colonial Spanish and modern Peruvian documents relating to the tribe. He chronicles the relentless success of European geographic annexation and the continuing failure of European cultural assimilation. Living among the Campa Ashaninkas, Varese found that their worldview rejects the modern notion that assimilation is inevitable, and he developed a deep respect for their fiercely independent spirit. For this reason, he calls his work an "approximation" rather than a description or history.
