Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Friar Bringas Reports to the King

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.

El retorno de los judíos

Libro El retorno de los judíos

New contacts between Spain and Jewish communities, especially Sephardic, were established during the Moroccan campaign (1859-60) and through diplomatic activity in the Ottoman Empire and Russia at the time of the pogroms (1881-82), starting a public debate on the possibility of a return of the Jews to Spain. The Sagasta government and the liberals wanted to capitalize on the Jewish issue in order to forge an image of openness and Europeanism, and to attract Jewish capital. The conservative opposition, while recognizing the Jewish contribution to Spanish culture and condemning antisemitism,...

Libro Proceso contra Bernardino de Valbuena, el comunero de Villalpando

En el año 2020 se cumple el quinto centenario de una revolución temprana de los inicios de la Edad Moderna en Europa: las Comunidades de Castilla. Esta guerra civil —otra más— enfrentó a las ciudades castellanas con Carlos V, el primer monarca de la dinastía de los Habsburgo en España. Dos proyectos políticos con puntos de vista diferentes en lo político, económico y social se disputaron el poder durante la crisis comunera. La nueva dinastía acercó a las coronas de Castilla y Aragón a una realidad imperial y paneuropea, muy distinta a la que habían conocido en el reinado de...
