Peace Came in the Form of a Woman
Revising the standard narrative of European-Indian relations in America, Juliana Barr reconstructs a world in which Indians were the dominant power and Europeans were the ones forced to accommodate, resist, and persevere. She demonstrates that between the 1690s and 1780s, Indian peoples including Caddos, Apaches, Payayas, Karankawas, Wichitas, and Comanches formed relationships with Spaniards in Texas that refuted European claims of imperial control. Barr argues that Indians not only retained control over their territories but also imposed control over Spaniards. Instead of being defined in racial terms, as was often the case with European constructions of power, diplomatic relations between...

Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth
In Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth: From Miguel de Unamuno to La Joven Literatura, Leslie J. Harkema analyzes the literature of the modernist period in Spain in light of the emergence of youth culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Harkema argues for the prominent role played by Miguel de Unamuno--as a poet, essayist, and public figure--in Spanish writers' response to this phenomenon. She demonstrates how early twentieth-century Spanish literature participated in the glorification of adolescence and questioning of Bildung seen elsewhere in European modernism, in ways that were not only aesthetic but also political. Harkema critically re-examines the relationship between Unamuno and several Spanish writers associated with the so-called Generation of 1927 (known as at the time as "la joven literatura" or "the young literature"). By situating this period within the wider framework of European modernism, Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth brings to light the central role that the early twentieth century's re-imagining of adolescence and youth played in the development of literary modernism in Spain.
Storms Brewed in Other Men's Worlds
Spanning two and a half centuries, from the earliest contacts in the 1540s to the crumbling of Spanish power in the 17908, Storms Brewed in Other Men's Worlds is a panoramic view of Indian peoples and Spanish and French intruders in the early Southwest. The primary focus is the world of the American Indian, ranging from the Caddos in the east to the Hopis in the west, and including the histories of the Pueblo, Apache, Navajo, Ute, and Wichita peoples. Within this region, from Texas to New Mexico, the Comanches played a key, formative role, and no less compelling is the story of the Hispanic frontier peoples who weathered the precarious, often arduous process of evolving coexistence with the Indians on the northern frontier of New Spain. First published in 1975, this second edition includes a new preface and afterword by Elizabeth A. H. John, in which she discusses current research issues and the status of the Indian peoples of the Southwest.
Un magno empresario en La Nueva España del siglo XVII: Antonio Urrutia de Vergara
Antonio Urrutia de Vergara (1598-1667), el empresario más acaudalado que residió en la Ciudad de México en la primera mitad del siglo XVII, ha pasado desapercibido en la historiografía mexicana. De origen vizcaíno, muy joven cruzó el Atlántico y en la Nueva España logró amasar una muy cuantiosa fortuna. Sus casas estuvieron en donde hoy se ubica el Museo de la Economía y donde se encuentra la casa conocida como de los azulejos, que adquirió para una de sus herederas. Fue poseedor del conocido Molino del Rey, en la vecindad del bosque de Chapultepec; de la hacienda Ximilpa y del Molino de Flores, ambas propiedades en la proximidad de la ciudad de Texcoco. Tuvo también ingenios azucareros en la provincia de Michoacán. Sus operaciones comerciales rebasaron las fronteras del virreinato, ya que, a través de sus vínculos de familia y de amistad, incidió en los mercados europeos y asiáticos. Urrutia, formó parte de la generación del siglo XVII que relevó a la de los empresarios que configuraron la economía novohispana en el tránsito de fines del siglo XVI al siglo XVII.
