Friar Bringas Reports to the King

Sinopsis del Libro

When Friar Diego Bringas penned his 1796–97 report on conditions in northwestern New Spain, he was imbued with an enthusiastic drive for reform. Hoping to gain the King of Spain’s support in improving the missionary program, Bringas set down a detailed history of all that had happened in the region since Father Kino’s day. His writings offer a valuable study of Spanish attempts to bring about cultural change among the Piman Indians. Daniel S. Matson and Bernard L. Fontana have translated the Bringas document and added an informative introduction, notes, and references. They analyze Spanish methods of indoctrination and examine the implications in terms of the modern world. Friar Bringas carefully explained various missionary and secular policies, laws, and regulations. He pointed out why, in his opinion, Spanish efforts to convert the Piman Indians had failed. He also provided a report of the orders establishing the ill-fated Yuma missions. His fascinating account of the Gila River Pimas is one of the most complete ethnographic descriptions from that era. Friar Bringas Reports to the King is an important study of Spain’s attempts to assimilate the Indians. It offers a deeper understanding of the history of the Pimería Alta.

Un Salto Gigantesco

La Luna siempre representó algo inalcanzable. Durante la mayor parte de nuestra historia como civilización no tuvimos la más mínima idea de lo que era, de qué estaba hecha, o por qué estaba ahí. Aristóteles, el famoso filósofo griego del siglo IV antes de Cristo, nos convenció durante casi dos mil años de que la Luna estaba hecha de éter, que era inmutable y perfecta. No fue sino hasta que Galileo la observó a través de su telescopio, hace apenas cuatrocientos años, que supimos que era un lugar similar a la Tierra, repleto de montañas y valles, cráteres y cordilleras. Situada ...

Nazis en la Costa del Sol

Terminada la contienda, los nazis fugados de Alemania contaron con el apoyo explícito y directo de las autoridades franquistas, o de hombres destacados de Falange, para escapar de los tribunales de justicia Aliados. La Costa del Sol puede tener el dudoso orgullo de haber sido refugio y residencia de célebres nazis. Algunos, prófugos sin haber podido ser juzgados en su país como autores o responsables directos de horribles crímenes; otros, que fueron juzgados, pero huyeron antes de cumplir condena; y, en fin, prácticamente todos ellos, que siguieron negando el delito de genocidio...
