War!
In this memoir Ricardo Burguete, a Spanish soldier who served in the Philippines from 1896–1897, describes his journey to the Philippines, his impressions of the country, and his experiences in fighting Filipino insurrectionists in his 1902 memoir. The account, written by a young, impressionable patriot, conveys candid characterizations of the inhabitants of the country, reflections on the causes of the insurrection, and a detailed account of the author’s actions in support of continued Spanish rule.
Republicanas
El republicanismo blasquista valenciano fue, sin duda una de las mejores demostraciones de esta cultura política que, en la Valencia de cambio de siglo logró de movilizar –y no nada más movilizar sino también culturizar- amplios sectores populares en un bloque social donde estaban presentes desde las clases trabajadoras a la pequeña burguesía. Un movimiento, por primera vez, de masas, las masas del nuevo siglo XX, articuladas alrededor de un ideario modernizador ilustrado, democratizador y laico. Así, las mujeres republicanas fueran articulando un progresivo cuestionamiento del modelo de feminidad doméstica, desde su progresiva implicación en las actividades educativas, culturales...
War and Genocide in Cuba, 1895-1898
From 1895 to 1898, Cuban insurgents fought to free their homeland from Spanish rule. Though often overshadowed by the "Splendid Little War" of the Americans in 1898, according to John Tone, the longer Spanish-Cuban conflict was in fact more remarkable, foreshadowing the wars of decolonization in the twentieth century. Employing newly released evidence--including hospital records, intercepted Cuban letters, battle diaries from both sides, and Spanish administrative records--Tone offers new answers to old questions concerning the war. He examines the origin of Spain's genocidal policy of "reconcentration"; the causes of Spain's military difficulties; the condition, effectiveness, and popularity of the Cuban insurgency; the necessity of American intervention; and Spain's supposed foreknowledge of defeat. The Spanish-Cuban-American war proved pivotal in the histories of all three countries involved. Tone's fresh analysis will provoke new discussions and debates among historians and human rights scholars as they reexamine the war in which the concentration camp was invented, Cuba was born, Spain lost its empire, and America gained an overseas empire.
Le tour du peuple
Le présent ouvrage cherche à analyser diverses modalités des luttes populaires - depuis la protestation spontanée jusqu'au combat organisé - contre l'ordre social dominant en Espagne autour de 1900. À la faveur de la crise que connaît le pays, notamment du fait des guerres coloniales et de leur dénouement désastreux, le mouvement ouvrier reconstitue ses forces, mais la contestation gagne aussi d'autres secteurs de la société. Dans de pareilles conditions, certains semblent imaginer une possible relève des hommes ou des groupes au pouvoir : « Le tour du peuple » ne serait-il pas enfin venu ? C'est la question que se pose alors Joaquín Costa.
Spanish Women and the Colonial Wars of the 1890s
In the late 1890s a journalist wrote, "Spanish women would rather weep at a husband's or a son's gravesite than blush for lack of patriotic fervor." Yet at a time when women were expected to sacrifice their sons and husbands willingly for the sake of the nation, women organized and led three significant demonstrations against conscription in Spain. In Spanish Women and the Colonial Wars of the 1890s,D. J. Walker succeeds not only in contextualizing these demonstrations but also in elucidating what they suggested to contemporaries about the role of women in public life in late nineteenth-century Spain. During Spain's military action against an uprising in its North African enclave of Melilla ...
