América
An epic history of the Spanish empire in North America from 1493 to 1898 by Robert Goodwin, author of Spain: The Centre of the World. At the conclusion of the American Revolution, half the modern United States was part of the vast Spanish Empire. The year after Columbus's great voyage of discovery, in 1492, he claimed Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands for Spain. For the next three hundred years, thousands of proud Spanish conquistadors and their largely forgotten Mexican allies went in search of glory and riches from Florida to California. Many died, few triumphed. Some were cruel, some were curious, some were kind. Missionaries and priests yearned to harvest Indian souls for God through ba...

Theater of a Thousand Wonders
The great many shrines of New Spain have become long-lived sites of shared devotion and contestation across social groups. They have provided a lasting sense of enchantment, of divine immanence in the present, and a hunger for epiphanies in daily life. This is a story of consolidation and growth during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, rather than one of rise and decline in the face of early stages of modernization. Based on research in a wide array of manuscript and printed primary sources, and informed by recent scholarship in art history, religious studies, anthropology, and history, this is the first comprehensive study of shrines and miraculous images in any part of early modern Latin America.
Una historia sepultada
Una historia sepultada. México, la imposición de su nombre. Análisis documental aborda el proceso histórico del nombre de la actual Ciudad de México. Su autor, sin dejarse llevar por el co nocimiento general y continuamente repetido de que su denominación original fue la del binomio México-Tenochtit lan, se dio a la ardua tarea de realizar un profuso y exhaustivo análisis de fuentes documentales e impresos de los siglos xvi y xvii y de sus diversas ediciones, incluso de aquellas de la época contemporánea, que nos permiten concluir que la ciudad fue nombrada como Temixtitan o Temistitan, Tenustitan, Tenuxtitan y Tenuxtital para finalmente ser conocida como México. También nos plantea cuál fue el proceso, circunstancias o intereses que llevaron estos nombres a su desaparición y a ser finalmente sustituidos por el de México-Tenochtitlan o simplemente México. La investigación que el autor nos presenta es un recordatorio a historiadores, historiógrafos, editores y público en general a no dar por sentados los hechos, y a ser más cuidadosos y atentos cuando se trabaja con las llamadas fuentes históricas de primera mano.
