Repositioning the Missionary
In the vein of an emergent Native Pacific brand of cultural studies, Repositioning the Missionary critically examines the cultural and political stakes of the historic and present-day movement to canonize Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores (1627–1672), the Spanish Jesuit missionary who was martyred by Mata'pang of Guam while establishing the Catholic mission among the Chamorros in the Mariana Islands. The work juxtaposes official, popular, and critical perspectives of the movement to complicate prevailing ideas about colonialism, historiography, and indigenous culture and identity in the Pacific.

Descorchados 2019 English
Published for the first time in 1999, Descorchados is the most important guide to the wines of South America. This year, no fewer than 4,341 samples from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay crossed the Descorchados tasting table, and 3,177 of them are included in this book. It’s an enormous job—but one we are very passionate about. Beyond the stats, however, we at Descorchados aim to offer a broad overview of what’s happening in the world of wine on this side of the planet. The latest trends, the newest valleys, the varieties that have been recovered or adopted, the names to keep an eye on, and the work being done by the large and small wineries alike. If they have character, we’re interested in them! Descorchados is a large and in-depth journalistic report that we do once a year to provide a wide-angle view of the dynamic and increasingly entertaining Latin American wine scene. More than 3,000 wines reviewed in this edition—and you’re sure to find more than one you like in Descorchados 2019! Cheers!
History of the Triumphs of Our Holy Faith Amongst the Most Barbarous and Fierce Peoples of the New World
Considered by historian Herbert E. Bolton to be one of the greatest books ever written in the West, AndrŽs PŽrez de Ribas's history of the Jesuit missions provides unusual insight into Spanish and Indian relations during the colonial period in Northern New Spain. First published in Madrid in 1645, it traces the history of the missions from 1591 to 1643 and includes letters from Jesuit annual reports and other correspondence, much of which has never been found or cataloged in historical archives. Daniel T. Reff, Maureen Ahern, and Richard K. Danford have now prepared the first complete, scholarly, and fully annotated edition of this important work in English. PŽrez de Ribas was the first p...
