ISBN: 9781845194758 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Spaniards typically portrayed the conquest and fall of Mexico Tenochtitlan as Armageddon, while native peoples in colonial Mesoamerica continued to write and paint their histories and lives often without any mention of the foreigners in their midst.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Religion in New Spain presents an overview of the history of colonial religious culture and encompasses aspects of religion in the many regions of New Spain. The contributors reveal that Spanish conquest was not the end-all of indigenous culture and that the Virgin of Guadalupe was a myth-in-the-making by locals as well as foreigners. Furthermore, nuns and priests had real lives and the institutional colonial church was seldom if ever immune to political or economic influence. The essays, while varying in subject and content, validate the sheer pervasiveness and importance of religion in...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the past, Roman pottery has been judged as inferior to Greek pottery.
