Epistolario de Manuel José Mosquera Arboleda
Entre la colección de documentos originales del archivo histórico de la Universidad de La Sabana, se encuentra un epistolario de Manuel José Mosquera Arboleda (Popayán, 1800-Marsella, 1853), conformado por 79 cartas de este payanés ilustre, fechadas entre los años 1837 y 1853, que constituyen una fuente primaria de utilidad para aproximarse al proceso de formación de la nación colombiana. Estos documentos nos permiten conocer directamente algunos de los acontecimientos políticos, sociales y económicos más importantes de Colombia y de Europa en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Sirven también para observar cuestiones eclesiásticas y religiosas relevantes de la historia del país, relacionadas con la figura del que entonces era arzobispo de Bogotá, Manuel José Mosquera. De las 79 cartas escritas por Manuel José Mosquera, 66 están dirigidas a su hermano Manuel María y las13 restantes a personajes varios. Casi todas están redactadas en Bogotá, salvo 19 escritas en Villeta durante su convalecencia antes del destierro, una en Ubaque y dos en París.
The Colombia Reader
Containing over one hundred selections—most of them published in English for the first time—The Colombia Reader presents a rich and multilayered account of this complex nation from the colonial era to the present. The collection includes journalistic reports, songs, artwork, poetry, oral histories, government documents, and scholarship to illustrate the changing ways Colombians from all walks of life have made and understood their own history. Comprehensive in scope, it covers regional differences; religion, art, and culture; the urban/rural divide; patterns of racial, economic, and gender inequalities; the history of violence; and the transnational flows that have shaped the nation. The Colombia Reader expands readers' knowledge of Colombia beyond its reputation for violence, contrasting experiences of conflict with the stability and significance of cultural, intellectual, and economic life in this plural nation.
Latin America
The continued growth of the Latin American economy is documented in this account of the economic and social consequences of its integration as a primary producer in the expanding international economy.
