El Norte

Autor: Carrie Gibson

Número de Páginas: 521

«Esto es Historia en forma de diálogo, que prescinde de la autoridad doliente de los archivos y adopta la forma de una larga conversación, desde la premisa de que se puede alcanzar la verdad mediante una larga peregrinación, un viaje a través de la violencia, la discriminación, el racismo, la explotación y el infierno creado por la ocupación». THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW. Durante mucho tiempo, los Estados Unidos se han preciado de su herencia anglosajona por encima de todas las demás. No obstante, tal como Carrie Gibson explica en El Norte con gran profundidad y nitidez, la nación tiene unas raíces hispanas mucho más antiguas, las cuales han permanecido largo tiempo ignoradas y marginalizadas. Su pasado hispánico precede en más de un siglo a la llegada del Mayflower, y es de todo punto igual de importante a la hora de dar forma a la nación tal como existe hoy en día. El Norte es una crónica de la extensa y dramática historia de la Norteamérica hispana, desde el desembarco inicial de Ponce de León en Florida en 1513, pasando por la toma de control del vasto territorio de la Luisiana por parte de España en 1762 o la guerra mexicano-estadounidense de 1846,...

El Norte

Autor: Carrie Gibson

Número de Páginas: 462

For reasons of language and history, the United States has prized its Anglo heritage above all others. However, as Carrie Gibson explains with great depth and clarity in El Norte, America has much older Spanish roots - ones that have long been unacknowledged or marginalized. The Hispanic past of the United States predates the arrival of the Pilgrims by a century and has been every bit as important in shaping the nation. El Norte chronicles the sweeping and dramatic history of Hispanic North America from the arrival of the Spanish to the present - from Ponce de Leon's initial landing in Florida in 1513 to Spanish control of the vast Louisiana territory in 1762 to the Mexican-American War in 1846 and up to the more recent tragedy of post-hurricane Puerto Rico and the ongoing border acrimony with Mexico. Interwoven in this stirring narrative of events and people are cultural issues that have been there from the start and remain unresolved: language, belonging, community, race and nationality. Seeing them play out over centuries provides vital perspective at a time when it is urgently needed. In 1883, Walt Whitman wrote 'to that composite American identity of the future, Spanish...

The Great Resistance

Autor: Carrie Gibson

Número de Páginas: 685

The history of the most diverse insurrection the world has ever known. For more than four centuries, enslaved people across the western hemisphere, from the United States and the Caribbean to Mexico and Brazil, fought any way they could to gain their freedom: from the first African revolt in 1521 on the island of Hispaniola to the eighteenth-century Maroon Wars on Jamaica, and the revolution that gave Haiti its independence. In The Great Resistance, acclaimed historian Carrie Gibson recovers their dramatic stories in one sweeping narrative. Focusing on the thousands of acts of defiance that kept the flame of freedom alive, Gibson vividly chronicles the resistance that eventually ended the slave trade and, with Brazil's abolition in 1888, the institution of slavery itself. Intertwined with this quest for emancipation were the political revolutions that gave rise to the modern nation-state. At a time when all post-slavery societies face serious questions about social and racial inequality, Gibson provides a radical new interpretation of abolition set amid a sweeping global landscape. With its deep scholarship and rich narrative, The Great Resistance is a tribute to the persistence...
