This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Colonial Literature in South America No intelligent person is likely to deny the importance of ofiicial documents as the basis of a nation's history; but these docu ments do not tell the whole story. There are social activities, currents of national' thought, and waves of popular sentiment, which are not fully described either in laws or governmental proclamations. Tradi tion sometimes conveys a knowledge of these aspects of society, but tradition undergoes such modifications in the course of time that it does not render the same account to all later generations or centuries. Only what is written remains fixed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish and Portuguese South America During the Colonial Period, Vol. 2 of 2 The appearance Of the Dutch as actors on the Brazilian stage arose, as might be expected, from the connection of the Low Countries with Spain and from that Of Spain with Portugal. Their success in attacking the sources of their enemy's supplies in the East led to the establish ment Of a West Indian Company, the chief Object Of which was to make conquests in Brazil. A fleet was fitted out under the command of Willekens, who had under him the celebrated Peter Heyne. The religious intolerance from which the Dutch had themselves SO terribly suffered at the hands Of their Spanish rulers had taught them to be tolerant in such matters towards others, and to this circumstance they were now indebted for much valuable information respecting Brazil, which they received from the Jews who had taken refuge amongst them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from South America: Its Lands, Its Peoples and Its Problems Take another factor. In 1810 there was no legitimate foreign trade at all, outside of the meagre trade with Spain. There was agreat deal of smuggling, but all of it together was small as compared to the volume today, . In 1905 the total foreign trade of all Hispanic America, north and south, was three billion dol lars - equal to the combined foreign trade of the United States and Canada! There are the figures for 1905. Does it sound to you as if that drummer reported properly? He reported that there was no sense in going in there; that there was nothing to it. I am supposed to say a little something about contemporary problems. Those countries are all republics and democracies in name. But in fact, in varying degrees to be sure, they amount to what we would call aristocracies. The families prominent in the colonial era are prominent today. They are the power behind the throne. In some of the countries where revolutions still occur they are the result of quarrels between different factions of the aristocracy.

Download or read book A Trip To Latin America (In Very Simple Spanish) written by Victor Emmanuel François and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip To Latin America (In Very Simple Spanish): With Conversation And Composition Exercises And Vocabulary II. Style. The book has been written in such simple Spanish that no notes are needed, and no previous prepara tion is required to read the first five or six lessons. As we assume that a grammar is being used in conjunction with the Reader, by the time the sixth or seventh lesson of the latter is reached, the student has progressed sufficiently in the study of the verb to permit him to continue his reading without great trouble. Following the great pedagogical principle of proceeding from the known to the unknown, we have made a liberal use of words having great similarity in form and meaning in both Spanish and English. As a further aid, the same words occur again and again in new combinations, thus becoming soon so familiar that the help of the vocabulary is no longer needed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mission as a Frontier Institution in the Spanish-American Colonies One of the marvels in the history of the modern world is the way in which that little Iberian nation, Spain, when most of her blood and treasure were absorbed in European wars, with a hand ful of men took possession of the Caribbean archipelago, and' by rapid yet steady advance spread her culture, her religion, her law, and her language over more than half of the two American continents, where they still are dominant and still are secure - in South America, Central America, and a large fraction of North America, for fifty million people in America to-day are tinged with Spanish blood, still speak the Spanish language, still worship at the altar set up by the Catholic kings, still live under laws essentially Spanish, and still possess a culture largely inherited from Spain.

Book Synopsis The Last Colonial Massacre by : Greg Grandin
Download or read book The Last Colonial Massacre written by Greg Grandin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-07-30 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of bloodshed and political terror, many lament the rise of the left in Latin America. Since the triumph of Castro, politicians and historians have accused the left there of rejecting democracy, embracing communist totalitarianism, and prompting both revolutionary violence and a right-wing backlash. Through unprecedented archival research and gripping personal testimonies, Greg Grandin powerfully challenges these views in this classic work. In doing so, he uncovers the hidden history of the Latin American Cold War: of hidebound reactionaries holding on to their power and privilege; of Mayan Marxists blending indigenous notions of justice with universal ideas of equality; and of a United States supporting new styles of state terror throughout the region. With Guatemala as his case study, Grandin argues that the Latin American Cold War was a struggle not between political liberalism and Soviet communism but two visions of democracy—one vibrant and egalitarian, the other tepid and unequal—and that the conflict’s main effect was to eliminate homegrown notions of social democracy. Updated with a new preface by the author and an interview with Naomi Klein, The Last Colonial Massacre is history of the highest order—a work that will dramatically recast our understanding of Latin American politics and the role of the United States in the Cold War and beyond. “This work admirably explains the process in which hopes of democracy were brutally repressed in Guatemala and its people experienced a civil war lasting for half a century.”—International History Review “A richly detailed, humane, and passionately subversive portrait of inspiring reformers tragically redefined by the Cold War as enemies of the state.”—Journal of American History

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Francisco Moyen: Or the Inquisition as It Was in South America These documents, in the original Spanish, are written in a. Style extremely quaint and barbarous, the purport of their words is obtained more by the sound than by their ortho graphy, several of them being oftentimes joined into one, while others are divided and their separated parts united with those which precede or follow them, clearly showing that if the Inquisition was the means of promoting literature, as asserted by the Chilian prebendary, the familiars of the one established in Peru had not availed themselves of its fostering care and encouragement. Of course their uncouth phraseology could not be preserved in a translation, but I have transferred their meaning into English, in a sense as literal as their strange peculiarities would admit.

Book Synopsis A Guide to the Art of Latin America (Classic Reprint) by : Robert Chester Smith
Download or read book A Guide to the Art of Latin America (Classic Reprint) written by Robert Chester Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Art of Latin America The fact that no such book exists is indeed the principal justification for this bibliography. The reader must search among a multitude of articles and rare publications for the scattered information which will give a picture of the whole. Many items included here may seem out side the subject; but Latin American art is an undeveloped field, and we must look to authors writing on other matters for information and suggestions. For example, there is not one book or article which deals thoroughly with the colonial art of Bolivia, although Bolivia in that period produced some of the most original and interesting work of the whole Spanish American empire. In such a situation, any publication which contains good photographs or exact descriptions, or which can shed light on any aspect of colonial life in Bolivia, is valuable. In this larger sense, there is a good deal of information available in print, and the size of this bibliography - already selective - has surprised the editors. Naturally the principle of selection has varied for each country with the material available in the field of art, and such collateral reading has been admitted more sparingly in the case of countries like Mexico and the Argentine which ofier richer bibliographies of art.
