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.

Las Preguntas de Zapata y otras sátiras

Libro Las Preguntas de Zapata y otras sátiras

De todo corazón desearía comer el fruto del árbol de la ciencia, y me parece que la prohibición de comerlo es bastante extraña. Puesto que Dios concedió la razón al hombre, debía parecerle bien que se instruyese, ¿o acaso prefería que su servidor fuese un ignorante? Desearía también hablar con la serpiente, tan ingeniosa ella. Anunciar únicamente la moral, ¿no sería prestar un servicio a los hombres? Esa moral es tan pura, tan santa, tan universal, tan clara y tan antigua, que bien debe provenir del mismo Dios, como la luz que entre nosotros se tiene por su primera creación....

HOLOCAUSTO Y BIENES CULTURALES

Libro HOLOCAUSTO Y BIENES CULTURALES

La restitución de los bienes culturales expoliados a la comunidad judía en Alemania y en los territorios ocupados en Europa por los nazis entre 1933 y 1945 no es una cuestión cerrada, dada la magnitud de lo que se expolió y la cuantía de lo todavía no devuelto. Como demuestran sentencias adoptadas en los últimos tiempos por tribunales internos, no parece que se haya dicho la última palabra sobre la disputa de algunos bienes culturales expoliados entre los descendientes de sus antiguos propietarios y los actuales poseedores, de lo que resulta ilustrador el caso Cassirer. Por ello, esta ...
