Double Diaspora in Sephardic Literature: Jewish Cultural Production Before and After 1492
ISBN: 9780253015723 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The year 1492 has long divided the study of Sephardic culture into two distinct periods, before and after the expulsion of Jews from Spain. David A. Wacks examines the works of Sephardic writers from the 13th to the 16th centuries and shows that this literature was shaped by two interwoven experiences of diaspora: first from the Biblical homeland Zion and later from the ancestral hostland, Sefarad. Jewish in Spain and Spanish abroad, these writers negotiated Jewish, Spanish, and diasporic idioms to produce a uniquely Sephardic perspective. Wacks brings Diaspora Studies into dialogue with...

Iberian Visions of the Pacific Ocean, 1507-1899
ISBN: 9781137304704 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the second half of the eighteenth century, renewed exploration of the Pacific Ocean gained much attention in Europe. As mostly British and French explorers ventured to the region searching for mythical continents and legendary passageways linking the Atlantic with the Pacific oceans, they encountered the waterlogged world of Oceania - a sea of more than 20,000 islands located in the Pacific. Claiming this newly encountered region as a 'new world' of the eighteenth-century, many voyagers sought to distance themselves from the earlier Iberian periods of expansion. In this work, Buschmann...

Democracy, Trade Unions and Political Violence in Spain: The Valencian Anarchist Movement, 1918-1936
ISBN: 9781845196486 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Valencia has traditionally been seen as somewhat exceptional within Spain: a prosperous, agricultural export-oriented economy dominated by small- and medium-sized farmers. This tranquil image of Levante feliz contrasts sharply with those of rebellious, proletarian Barcelona, or impoverished, feudal Andalusia, with which the CNT and the Spanish anarchist movement is most closely associated. However, this new study shows that Valencia in the 1920s and 1930s was anything but tranquil. The vertiginous growth of the CNT between 1918 and 1920 led to the province being a major target of government...

ISBN: 9781845196813 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Having succeeded in establishing themselves in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, Spain and Portugal became the first imperial powers on a worldwide scale in the early 16th century.

The Emergence of León-Castile C.1065-1500: Essays Presented to J.F. O'Callaghan
ISBN: 9781409420354 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To many medieval Europeans north of the Pyrenees, the Iberian Kingdom of Leon-Castile was remote and unfamiliar. In many ways such perceptions linger today, and the fact that Leon-Castile is mentioned at all in current textbooks is the result of efforts begun by scholars some forty years ago. Joseph F. O'Callaghan was part of a small group of English-speaking medievalists who banded together at conferences in the early 1970s to share their knowledge of Spain. O'Callaghan's general A History of Medieval Spain (1975) introduced a generation of English-speaking medievalists to Iberia. Still much...

The Prince and the Infanta: The Cultural Politics of the Spanish Match

On the night of 7 March 1623, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Buckingham knocked on the door of the British embassy in Madrid. Their unsolicited arrival began one of the most bizarre episodes in British history, as the Protestant heir to the Stuart throne struggled to win the Spanish Infanta as his bride. The prince's visit marked the end of a decade of high-level negotiation to secure a marriage between the leading Protestant and Catholic royal families and heal Europe's century-old division into warring Christian camps. The effort was a diplomatic disaster. It split political and...

Spain and the Abolition of Slavery in Cuba, 1817-1886

This book explores the abolition of African slavery in Spanish Cuba from 1817 to 1886--from the first Anglo-Spanish agreement to abolish the slave trade until the removal from Cuba of the last vestige of black servitude. Making extensive use of heretofore untapped research sources from the Spanish archives, the author has developed new perspectives on nineteenth-century Spanish policy in Cuba. He skillfully interrelates the problem of slavery with international politics, with Cuban conservative and liberal movements, and with political and economic developments in Spain...

Portugal's Guerrilla Wars in Africa: Lisbon's Three Wars in Angola, Mozambique and Portugese Guinea 1961-74
ISBN: 9781910294734 / Angielski / Miękka / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Portugal's three wars in Africa in Angola, Mozambique and Portuguese Guinea (Guine-Bissau today) lasted almost 13 years - longer than the United States Army fought in Vietnam. Yet they are among the most underreported conflicts of the modern era. Commonly referred to as Lisbon's Overseas War (Guerra do Ultramar) or in the former colonies, the War of Liberation (Guerra de Libertacao), these struggles played a seminal role in ending white rule in Southern Africa. Though hardly on the scale of hostilities being fought in South East Asia, the casualty count by the time a military coup d'etat took...

Philip II is not only the most famous king in Spanish history, but one of the most famous monarchs in English history: the man who married Mary Tudor and later launched the Spanish Armada against her sister Elizabeth I. This compelling biography of the most powerful European monarch of his day begins with his conception (1526) and ends with his ascent to Paradise (1603), two occurrences surprisingly well documented by contemporaries. Eminent historian Geoffrey... A vast archive of documents, unread since the sixteenth century, revises the portrait of Spain's best-known king
