Empire of Sand
Author: Thomas E. SheridanPublisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 9780816518586
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
From the earliest days of their empire in the New World, the Spanish sought to gain control of the native peoples and lands of what is now Sonora. While missionaries were successful in pacifying many Indians, the Seris--independent groups of hunter-gatherers who lived on the desert shores and islands of the Gulf of California--steadfastly defied Spanish efforts to subjugate them. Empire of Sand is a documentary history of Spanish attempts to convert, control, and ultimately annihilate the Seris. These papers of religious, military, and government officials attest to the Seris' resilience in the face of numerous Spanish attempts to conquer them and remove them from their lands. Most of the documents are being made available for the first time, while the few that have been published are extremely difficult to find. They include early observations of the Seris by Jesuit missionaries; the collapse of the Seri mission system in 1748; accounts of the invasion of Tibur¢n Island in 1750 and the Sonora Expedition of 1767-1771; and reports of late-eighteenth-century Seri hostilities. Thomas Sheridan's introduction puts the documents in perspective, while his notes objectively clarify their significance. In a superb analysis of contact history, Sheridan shows through these documents that Spaniards and Seris understood one another well, and it was their inability to tolerate each other's radically different societies and cultures that led to endless conflict between them. By skillfully weaving the documents into a coherent narrative of Spanish-Seri interaction, he has produced a compelling account of empire and resistance that speaks to anthropologists, historians, and all readers who take heart in stories of resistance to oppression.
The Spanish Arcadia
Author: Javier Irigoyen-GarcíaPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442647272
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The Spanish Arcadia analyzes the figure of the shepherd in the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish imaginary, exploring its centrality to the discourses on racial, cultural, and religious identity. Drawing on a wide range of documents, including theological polemics on blood purity, political treatises, manuals on animal husbandry, historiography, paintings, epic poems, and Spanish ballads, Javier Irigoyen-García argues that the figure of the shepherd takes on extraordinary importance in the reshaping of early modern Spanish identity. The Spanish Arcadia contextualizes pastoral romances within a broader framework and assesses how they inform other cultural manifestations. In doing so, Irigoyen-García provides incisive new ideas about the social and ethnocentric uses of the genre, as well as its interrelation with ideas of race, animal husbandry, and nation building in early modern Spain.

Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Jacob pareciera ser cualquier cosa menos un disc&í pulo ejemplar. Es un hombre embustero, mentiroso, ego&í sta y ambicioso que tiene hijos con cuatro mujeres y lidera una familia disfuncional plagada de envidias y traiciones. Pero Jacob es tambié n Israel, el hom&ó nimo de la comunidad de Dios en el Antiguo Testamento, escogido y bendecido. Como tal, este santo pecador que cojea junto al Se&ñ or, agobiado por la debilidad y asediado por los problemas, es el fiel reflejo de todos los que seguimos a Jes&ú s. En su vida vemos nuestras vidas, nuestras luchas, nuestros fracasos y muy especialmente al Dios que nos ama y nos escoge como suyos. Al examinar su biograf&í a, desde su pendencia con Esa&ú en el vientre hasta su muerte en la vejez en Egipto, aprenderemos m&á s acerca de nosotros mismos y el Dios que est&á con nosotros y por nosotros en Jes&ú s el Mes&í as.
