Desterrats per ordre de Carles III
L’any 1767, els jesuïtes que vivien a l’antic regne de València (190 en total) van patir les conseqüències del fet històric que més va commoure l’Europa catòlica del set-cents: l’expulsió de la Companyia de Jesús dels dominis de Carles III. A partir de les fonts documentals, es reconstrueixen els esdeveniments des de l’assetjament inicial a aquests religiosos valencians, amb la consegüent expulsió, l’exili involuntari a Còrsega i a Itàlia i, finalment, el retorn a terres valencianes quaranta-nou anys després. Una panoràmica completa, doncs, del procés fins a la restauració de l’orde jesuític i el restabliment d’aquest a València, el 1816.
Rivalry and Revenge
What explains violence against civilians in civil wars? Why do groups kill civilians in areas where they have full military control and their rivals have no military presence? This innovative book connects pre-war politics to patterns of violence during civil war. It argues that both local political rivalry and local revenge account for violence against civilians. Armed groups perpetrate direct violence jointly with local civilians, who collaborate when violence can help them gain or consolidate local political control. As civil war continues, revenge motives also come into play, leading to spirals of violence at a local level. In an important contribution to the study of the Spanish Civil War, Balcells combines statistical analyses with ethnographic and qualitative research to provide new insights to scholars and academic researchers with an interest in civil war, politics and conflict processes. Rivalry and Revenge is theoretically and empirically rich, and it offers a theory and method generalizable to a wide set of cases.
The Worlds of Junipero Serra
"In September 2015, Junâipero Serra was canonized by Pope Francis in Washington DC against the protest of many Californian Native Americans who criticized his brutal treatment of their ancestors and destruction of their culture. Like most complex historical figures, Junâipero Serra has been interpreted in countless ways, often contextualized mainly in California. This book situates Serra in the context of the three major places that he lived, learned, and proselytized: Mallorca, Mexico, and Alta California. Scholars from all three countries contribute to a rare glimpse into the life of the saint by considering his use of music and art, his representation in popular culture; his education, ideology, and Franciscan influence; the plans and building of the missions; and his relation to native peoples."--Provided by publisher.
