Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Viceroy of New Spain From this statement of the viceroy's civil functions it would seem necessary to assume that he would regulate rather strictly all matters relating to commerce and trade, but this was by no means the case. For the general movement of internal trade he was indeed responsible, but so minute was the oversight main tained by the home government in this all-important branch of colonial affairs that the viceroy was left comparatively little dis cretion.6 The Madrid government, acting through the Casa de Contratacion, or India House, at Cadiz, relieved the viceroy of everything but a very general supervision of the Mexican end of the trade with Spain.7 He was obliged, it is true, to attend more carefully to the commerce of the Philippine Islands, passing through the port of Acapulco, but all things considered, matters of external trade did not loom very large on the horizon of the viceroy's responsibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Royal Spain of Today Above all else, writers on foreign parts should be broad of view and unprejudiced, and if I have become prejudiced in favor of Spain, it is because I entered Spain without prejudice and have been by experience with people and country made to know and under stand its worth, its sterling qualities, and its fascina tion. Although grace and beauty abound, and music and dancing are on every hand, Spain is not, as some people believe, a country primarily of castanets and fandangoes. The Spanish people are today fully alive to their great internal possibilities; the rich mines are yielding once again rich stores, ships are busy entering and leaving Spanish harbors as of old, industries have seemingly taken on in these last ten years new impetus, new railroads are being built, and Spain is indeed born again. Surely Spain's great heritage of the past would point to great achievement in the future, and while an occasional exception in heritage may weaken the bond for a time, it rarely breaks it, and among all who understand the Spanish people of the present day, it is generally believed that Spain is entering upon a new era of progress and achievement. Surely they are fortunate in their young King, born to them a king indeed, in a moment of need and anxiety, but inheriting from all sides the qualities necessary to guide and guard his people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Spanish-American Poets When still a young girl Juana Ines became a maid-in waiting in the viceroy's palace, where her beauty and wit attracted much attention. But she soon renounced the worldly life of the court, and apparently moved by a determination never to marry, joined a religious order. In the convent of San Jeronimo she turned for solace to books. She was an indefatigable reader, and in time she accumu lated a library of four thousand volumes, as well as several musical instruments and some scientific apparatus. Two years before her death Sor Juana received from the bishop of Puebla a letter that affected her greatly. The bishop censured her devotion to worldly studies, and urged her to give her mind thereafter entirely to God. The sister, who was now forty-two years old, complied with the advice even more fully than the good bishop had intended. After selling her books and instruments and giving the proceeds to the poor, Sor Juana made a general confession, wrote with her own blood a solemn declaration of faith, and renouncing all worldly things during the remaining months of her life, she gave herself entirely to religious meditation and penance.

Book Synopsis Vintage Moquegua by : Prudence M. Rice
Download or read book Vintage Moquegua written by Prudence M. Rice and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The microhistory of the wine industry in colonial Moquegua, Peru, during the colonial period stretches from the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries, yielding a wealth of information about a broad range of fields, including early modern industry and labor, viniculture practices, the cultural symbolism of alcohol consumption, and the social history of an indigenous population. Uniting these perspectives, Vintage Moquegua draws on a trove of field research from more than 130 wineries in the Moquegua Valley. As Prudence Rice walked the remnants of wine haciendas and interviewed Peruvians about preservation, she saw that numerous colonial structures were being razed for development, making her documentary work all the more crucial. Lying far from imperial centers in pre-Hispanic and colonial times, the area was a nearly forgotten administrative periphery on an agricultural frontier. Spain was unable to supply the Peruvian viceroyalty with sufficient wine for religious and secular purposes, leading colonists to import and plant grapevines. The viniculture that flourished produced millions of liters, most of it distilled into pisco brandy. Summarizing archaeological data and interpreting it through a variety of frameworks, Rice has created a three-hundred-year story that speaks to a lost world and its inhabitants.
Book Synopsis Out of Our Minds by : Felipe Fernández-Armesto
Download or read book Out of Our Minds written by Felipe Fernández-Armesto and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A stimulating history of how the imagination interacted with its sibling psychological faculties—emotion, perception and reason—to shape the history of human mental life."—The Wall Street Journal To imagine—to see what is not there—is the startling ability that has fueled human development and innovation through the centuries. As a species we stand alone in our remarkable capacity to refashion the world after the picture in our minds. Traversing the realms of science, politics, religion, culture, philosophy, and history, Felipe Fernández-Armesto reveals the thrilling and disquieting tales of our imaginative leaps—from the first Homo sapiens to the present day. Through groundbreaking insights in cognitive science, Fernández-Armesto explores how and why we have ideas in the first place, providing a tantalizing glimpse into who we are and what we might yet accomplish. Unearthing historical evidence, he begins by reconstructing the thoughts of our Paleolithic ancestors to reveal the subtlety and profundity of the thinking of early humans. A masterful paean to the human imagination from a wonderfully elegant thinker, Out of Our Minds shows that bad ideas are often more influential than good ones; that the oldest recoverable thoughts include some of the best; that ideas of Western origin often issued from exchanges with the wider world; and that the pace of innovative thinking is under threat.
Book Synopsis The Legal Culture of Northern New Spain, 1700-1810 by : Charles R. Cutter
Download or read book The Legal Culture of Northern New Spain, 1700-1810 written by Charles R. Cutter and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2001-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain's colonial rule rested on a judicial system that resolved conflicts and meted out justice. But just how was this legal order imposed throughout the New World? Re-created here from six hundred civil and criminal cases are the procedural and ethical workings of the law in two of Spain's remote colonies--New Mexico and Texas in the eighteenth century. Professor Cutter challenges the traditional view that the legal system was inherently corrupt and irrelevant to the mass of society, and that local judicial officials were uninformed and inept. Instead he found that even in peripheral areas the lowest-level officials--thealcaldeor town magistrate--had a greater impact on daily life and a keener understanding of the law than previously acknowledged by historians. These local officials exhibited flexibility and sensitivity to frontier conditions, and their rulings generally conformed to community expectations of justice. By examining colonial legal culture, Cutter reveals the attitudes of settlers, their notions of right and wrong, and how they fixed a boundary between proper and improper actions. "A superlative work."--Marc Simmons, author ofSpanish Government in New Mexico
