Friar Bringas Reports to the King

Resumen del Libro

Libro Friar Bringas Reports to the King

When Friar Diego Bringas penned his 1796–97 report on conditions in northwestern New Spain, he was imbued with an enthusiastic drive for reform. Hoping to gain the King of Spain’s support in improving the missionary program, Bringas set down a detailed history of all that had happened in the region since Father Kino’s day. His writings offer a valuable study of Spanish attempts to bring about cultural change among the Piman Indians. Daniel S. Matson and Bernard L. Fontana have translated the Bringas document and added an informative introduction, notes, and references. They analyze Spanish methods of indoctrination and examine the implications in terms of the modern world. Friar Bringas carefully explained various missionary and secular policies, laws, and regulations. He pointed out why, in his opinion, Spanish efforts to convert the Piman Indians had failed. He also provided a report of the orders establishing the ill-fated Yuma missions. His fascinating account of the Gila River Pimas is one of the most complete ethnographic descriptions from that era. Friar Bringas Reports to the King is an important study of Spain’s attempts to assimilate the Indians. It offers a deeper understanding of the history of the Pimería Alta.

Libro La historia de la comuna de París de 1871

En marzo de 1871, la clase trabajadora de París, indignada por su falta de poder político y cansada de ser explotada, tomó el control de la capital.

Un apasionante experimento revolucionario que en pocos meses logró sustituir al ejército por una milicia ciudadana, acabar con la injerencia eclesiástica en los asuntos estatales, introducir el derecho universal a la educación y reconocer a los funcionarios públicos el mismo salario que...

SUPERSTICIÓN O INDIVIDUALIDAD DESVIACIONES RELIGIOSAS EN EL IMPERIO ROMANO

Libro SUPERSTICIÓN O INDIVIDUALIDAD DESVIACIONES RELIGIOSAS EN EL IMPERIO ROMANO

Este libro abre nuevas perspectivas sobre la historia de la religión de la época imperial romana con una mirada centrada en el individuo. En estas páginas no sólo se compara el ritualismo pagano colectivo con la fe cristiana individual, sino que indaga las fuerzas que mueven la densa red del culto público romano, controlado por las élites municipales. El autor contradice fuertemente la hipótesis de que las fuentes de la antigüedad, especialmente los textos normativos y condenatorios, solo ilustran el acceso a la delimitación y la polémica religiosa entre las clases dominantes y los...
