Many Mexicos

Perhaps no country\u27s history is as fascinating and perplexing as that of Mexico. Mother Mexico, land of paradox, of contradiction and extreme--these are the strands that Lesley Byrd Simpson weaves into a unified fabric in presenting the country\u27s history. First published in 1941, Many Mexicos was awarded the Commonwealth Club Gold Medal for Literature. Travelers, students, and all who delight in the adventure of narrative history have since treasured the volume for its clarity and readability. Now, completely revised, the Silver Anniversary Edition reflects the vast published output of these past twenty-five years on the history of Mexico. Some chapters have been enlarged, others corrected. A map of Mexico showing political subdivisions is now included, and, in general, new material has been added to document the author\u27s controversial statement (and there are many). Bloody conquests and revolutions; men, good or evil; art, religion, and institutions brought from Spain or made in Mexico; topography and climate; the conflict of cultures and races; and finally, the emergence of Mexico into today\u27s bewildering world--this in broad outline is the absorbing story Mr. Simpson so warmly presents.https://scholar.dominican.edu/cynthia-stokes-brown-books-personal-research/1129/thumbnail.jp

Dos ensayos sobre la función y la formación del historiador

Van siendo cada vez más frecuentes las voces de alarma ante las deshumanización, la mecanización, la "industrialización" de los estudios históricos en nuestros días. Voces que proceden de los campos más diversos y que, por fortuna, van ya encontrando eco en los mismos especialistas dedicados a la inverstigación y a la enseñanza de la historia. Jornadas se propone dar cabida en sus páginas a algunos trabajos que reflejan estas nuevas inquietudes, que replantean problemas que la escuela positivista creia definitivamente arrumbados con los trastos viejos: los de teoría de la historia, historiología, filosofía de la historia, o como mejor querramos llamarle

The laws of Burgos of 1512-1513; royal ordinances for the good government and treatment of the Indians.
