Talking Back
A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority "An artful, powerful book. . . . [A] substantial contribution to our knowledge of women in the so-called 'forgotten centuries' of European colonialism in the southeast."--Malinda Maynor Lowery, author of The Lumbee Indians "A remarkable book. Alejandra Dubcovsky pursued relentless research to uncover the histories of women previously unseen, even unnamed. As Dubcovsky shows, they had names, they had families, they had lives that mattered. The historical landscape is transformed by their presence."--Lisa Brooks, author of Our Beloved Kin Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of war, slavery, lo...
The Age of Dissent
The Age of Dissent argues that the defining feature of the Age of Revolutions in Latin America was the emergence of dissent as an inescapable component of political life. While contestation and seditious ideas had always been present in the region, never before had local regimes been forced to consider radical dissension as an unavoidable dimension of politics. Focusing on urban Chile between the first anticolonial conspiracy of 1780 and the consolidation of an authoritarian regime in 1833, the book argues that this revolution was caused by how people practiced communication and framed its power.
The Inquisition in New Spain, 1536–1820
The Inquisition! Just the word itself evokes, to the modern reader, endless images of torment, violence, corruption, and intolerance committed in the name of Catholic orthodoxy and societal conformity. But what do most people actually know about the Inquisition, its ministers, its procedures? This systematic, comprehensive look at one of the most important Inquisition tribunals in the New World reveals a surprisingly diverse panorama of actors, events, and ideas that came into contact and conflict in the central arena of religious faith. Edited and annotated by John F. Chuchiak IV, this collection of previously untranslated and unpublished documents from the Holy Office of the Inquisition in...

Current Trends in the Historiography of Inquisitions
This volume launches the book series of “Inquire – International Centre for Research on Inquisitions” of the University of Bologna, a research network that engages with the history of religious justice from the 13th to the 20th century. This first publication offers twenty chapters that take stock of the current historiography on medieval and early modern Inquisitions (the Spanish, Portuguese and Roman Inquisitions) and their modern continuations. Through the analysis of specific questions related to religious repression in Europe and the Iberian colonial territories extending from the Middle Ages to today, the contributions here examine the history of the perception of tribunals and the most recent historiographical trends. New research perspectives thus emerge on a subject that continues to intrigue those interested in the practices of justice and censorship, the history of religious dissent and the genesis of intolerance in the Western world and beyond.
New Horizons in Spanish Colonial Law
http://dx.doi.org/10.12946/gplh3 http://www.epubli.de/shop/buch/48746 "Spanish colonial law, derecho indiano, has since the early 20th century been a vigorous subdiscipline of legal history. One of great figures in the field, the Argentinian legal historian Víctor Tau Anzoátegui, published in 1997 his Nuevos horizontes en el estudio histórico del derecho indiano. The book, in which Tau addressed seminal methodological questions setting tone for the discipline’s future orientation, proved to be the starting point for an important renewal of the discipline. Tau drew on the writings of legal historians, such as Paolo Grossi, Antonio Manuel Hespanha, and Bartolomé Clavero. Tau emphasized t...

Alfonsina Storni Literatura y feminismo en la Argentina de los años 20
La sociedad argentina de principios del siglo XX mostró signos claros de dinamismo y modernidad, especialmente en sus principales centros urbanos. Como parte de esta sociedad moderna y movilizada, encontramos el accionar de las feministas que continuaron con sus reclamos y reivindicaciones, originados a fines del siglo XIX. En este libro los autores estudian las actuaciones del movimiento feminista argentino de los años 20, haciendo especial hincapié en la recepción de estas ideas en la obra poética y periodística de una de las escritoras argentinas más consagradas de ese momento: Alfonsina Storni.
Parejas conyugales en transformación
Las generaciones "llenas de los años setenta" fueron las que comenzaron a transformar sus comportamientos nupciales. Cuando nacieron contaban con más años de vida por delante que sus padres y mayores posibilidades de permanecer en el sistema escolar. No obstante, sus aspiraciones en cuanto a formar una familia con pocos hijos persistió. Llegados a las edades casaderas estos jóvenes permanecieron solteros, durante más tiempo y cuando formaron pareja acudieron más frecuentemente a la unión libre que en el pasado. A esto se sumaron incrementos en las separaciones y divorcios abriendo paso de este modo a la conformación de familias cada vez más complejas. Dadas estas características, ...
