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.

La República Española y la Guerra Civil, 1931-1939

Entre los muchos libros dedicados a la historia de la Segunda república española y la guerra civil, el de Gabriel Jackson destaca por dos razones: por ser el resultado de diez años de investigación y por ofrecernos una visión equilibrada de los acontecimientos, rehuyendo los prejuicios de la extrema derecha y la extrema izquierda (lo que no evitó que estuviese prohibido en España hasta la muerte del general Franco). Ambas cualidades hacen que siga siendo en la actualidad la mejor visión de conjunto de aquellos años cruciales en la historia de la España contemporánea.

Kojiki

El Kojiki o Crónicas de antiguos hechos es la primera obra literaria de Japón. Aclamado como el gran relicario de los antiguos mitos, leyendas y canciones de la cultura japonesa, narra las tradiciones nacionales desde sus orígenes hasta el primer cuarto del siglo VII. Obra asentada firmemente en el puente brumoso que separa el mito de la historia, sus páginas abren la puerta a un mundo mágico poblado de dioses (los celestiales y los «terrenales»), de héroes y de seres humanos que animan con sus actos y palabras el inmenso retablo multicolor, dinámico y apasionante que anuncia los...
