Tell Me the Story of How I Conquered You: Elsewheres and Ethnosuicide in the Colonial Mesoamerican World
ISBN: 9780292747616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Folio 46r from Codex Telleriano-Remensis was created in the sixteenth century under the supervision of Spanish missionaries in central Mexico. As an artifact of seismic cultural and political shifts, the manuscript painting is a singular document of indigenous response to Spanish conquest. Examining the ways in which the folio's tlacuilo (indigenous painter/writer) creates a pictorial vocabulary, this book embraces the place "outside" history from which this rich document emerged. Applying contemporary intellectual perspectives, including aspects of gender, modernity,...

Writing Violence on the Northern Frontier: The Historiography of Sixteenth-Century New Mexico and Florida and the Legacy of Conquest
ISBN: 9780822325352 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In "Writing Violence on the Northern Frontier" Jose Rabasa examines the conjunction between writing and violence that defined the sixteenth-century Spanish conquest of the Americas (particularly North America) and in doing so, he reveals why this conjunction remains relevent and influential today. Rabasa elaborates a critique of Spanish legislation that prescribed forms of converting Indians to Christianity and subjecting them to Spanish rule, which was referred to by some as "peaceful conquest." He argues that the oxymoronic nature of this term demands an oppositional mode of inquiry based...

Inventing America, Volume 11: Spanish Historiography and the Formation of Eurocentrism
ISBN: 9780806125398 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Inventing America, Jose Rabasa presents the view that Columbus's historic act was not a discovery, and still less an encounter. Rather, he considers it the beginning of a process of inventing a New World in the sixteenth century European consciousness. The notion of America as a European invention challenges the popular conception of the New World as a natural entity to be discovered or understood, however imperfectly. This book aims to debunk complacency with the historic, geographic, and cartographic rudiments underlying our present picture of the world."

On December 22, 1997, forty-five unarmed members of the indigenous organization Las Abejas (The Bees) were massacred during a prayer meeting in the village of Acteal, Mexico.

In...

Ungoverned Territories: Understanding and Reducing Terrorism Risks
ISBN: 9780833041524 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ungoverned territories-failed or failing states or ungoverned areas within otherwise viable states-generate a myriad of security problems and often become terrorist sanctuaries. Using a two-tiered framework applied to eight cases from around the globe, the authors illustrate the conditions that give rise to ungoverned territories, contributing to our understanding of what makes some ungoverned territories more conducive to a terrorist or insurgent presence than others. On the basis of this ground-breaking work, the authors identify three types of ungoverned territories and their effects on...

Emilio Rabasa (1856-1930), lawyer, historian, literary critic, essayist and novelist, besides being a journalist and active participant in politics, stands out among the Mexican intellectuals of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Considered to have introduced realism into Mexican fiction, Rabasa's writing reveals the influence of Perez Galdos as well as earlier Mexican writers, ranging from Jose Joaquin Fernandez de Lizardi's El periquillo sarniento (1816) to Jose Tomas de Cuellar's Baile y cochino (1886). A perceptive literary critic, journalist and well-informed historian, he was one...
