Without the help of numerous Algerians, both friends and officials, and I include residents of Algeria among them, there is little doubt that I would have learned considerably less and seen less of the people and places that were important to this study.  There is a good deal left undone, though, notably a meeting with Mrs. Josie Fanon, who, in spite of attempts to meet, made it clear that she had had a surfeit of Fanon followers.  More accessible were Mr. and Mrs. Joby Fanon, Dr. and Mrs. Françoise Tosquelles, Maître Marcel Manville, and the journalists, writers, and friends who made these and other interviews possible and who were often themselves valuable sources of information.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bu.edu/polisci/people/faculty/gendzier/"&gt;Irene Gendzier&lt;/a&gt; writes on subjects of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and problems of development.

Motiva esta monografía la distinta apreciación que de un mismo evento de nuestro pasado colonial hiciera el doctor Vidal Morales y Morales, historiógrafo cubano de positivo valer.  El fue quien primero hurgó en los archivos de la Isla compulsando datos, acotando citas, e interpretando el verdadero sentido de los documentos.  Como fruto de su tesonera labor intelectual pudo ofrecer libros de obligada consulta al investigador perspicaz de la ciencia histórica.  Sin embargo, en el breve lapso de tres años comenta, de modo diverso, el propósito perseguido con el intento de erección de una Junta Superior de Gobierno, por las personas representativas de La Habana, a fines de julio de 1808.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En un sesudo articulo, inserto en la revista &lt;i&gt;El Fígaro&lt;/i&gt; a raíz de la instalación del régimen autonómico en Cuba, Vidal Morales sustenta el criterio de que el proyecto de Junta provincial “no era otro que el establecimiento de un gobierno autonómico”; y concreta, a continuación, sus rasgos esenciales.  Poco después, en 1901, al publicar su obra mas trascendente, con el sugestivo titulo &lt;i&gt;Iniciadores y Primeros Mártires de la Revolución Cubana&lt;/i&gt;, quizás al calor de la nueva época política del país, dijo de aquel conato de Junta o Cámara de Notables “que probablemente hubiera dado por resultado la independencia de esta Isla”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La primera tesis acoge, en verdad, el pensamiento de los dirigentes políticos de La Habana que idearon esa asamblea comunal con la más pura intención de fidelidad a la Metrópoli española.  El ultimo parecer concuerda, en cambio, con sus obcecados opositores, los que calificaron como “tiránica e independiente” la frustrada Junta, para así denigrar el orden publico de la Colonia a los autores de la iniciativa progresista.  A dilucidar el proceso evolutivo y finalidad real que animaba a los promotores de esa asamblea de patricios en la Habana, durante aquellos días cruciales de la gobernación política y económica insular, tiende este modesto ensayo.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-1822549912305329828?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/1822549912305329828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/la-junta-de-la-habana-en-1808.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/1822549912305329828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/1822549912305329828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/la-junta-de-la-habana-en-1808.html' title='La Junta de La Habana en 1808'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-3241064894773249026</id><published>2012-02-12T12:50:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2012-02-12T12:53:19.449-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 5'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Latin America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Venezuela'/><title type='text'>Bolivar and the Independence of Spanish America</title><content type='html'>Trend, J.

It is an account and an interpretation of Bolivar in the light of the large number of documents which have been printed since the last English biography was written in 1910. (…) I have tried particularly to bring out the importance of Bolivar’s political theories, because they distinguish him from all other liberators.  A chronological arrangement has been chosen; and though, by this method, military campaigns and romantic constitutions follow one another in an order which may well seem bewildering, an attempt to segregate political theory in one chapter, strategy and tactics in another and revolutionary politics in a third would have created an impression almost entirely fictitious.  The thoughts and actions of Bolivar’s life are only intelligible when taken together at the same time.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-3241064894773249026?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/3241064894773249026/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/bolivar-and-independence-of-spanish.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3241064894773249026'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3241064894773249026'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/bolivar-and-independence-of-spanish.html' title='Bolivar and the Independence of Spanish America'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-7399654396551908846</id><published>2012-02-11T15:52:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2012-02-11T16:13:21.375-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 5'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Latin America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Venezuela'/><title type='text'>Catálogo de Errores y Calumnias en la Historia de Bolívar, Tomo III</title><content type='html'>Lecuna, Vicente, &lt;u&gt;Catálogo de Errores y Calumnias en la Historia de Bolívar, Tomo III&lt;/u&gt;, New York: Colonial Press, Inc., 1958.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Lecuna"&gt;Vicente Lecuna Salboch&lt;/a&gt; (Caracas, Venezuela, 14 de septiembre de 1870 - Caracas, 20 de febrero de 1954), Ingeniero, banquero, educador e historiador Venezolano.

He worked especially hard for the abolition of slavery on the Caribbean islands. (...)  He was responsible for the publication of many articles regarding slavery between 1833 and 1847 in which he focused on positive aspects of abolishing slavery. Schoelcher was also intent on social, economic, and political changes being made in the Caribbean colonies. He thought that the production of sugar should continue in the colonies but large central factories should be constructed rather than using slave labor.

No se trata de una obra de reivindicación, ni de una contribución a riñas académicas. Es evidente que el resultado final de este estudio muestra un Amérigo Vespucci radicalmente distinto del que han retratado sus detractores, y diferente del que muestran sus panegiristas.  Pero todas las conclusiones deben considerarse puramente accidentales, he partido de una idea preconcebida, de un Amérigo hecho según mis deseos, para buscarle confirmación en los archivos.  El tema lo he hallado de manera casual.  Hace años que vengo estudiando las vidas de los Vespucci a través de un siglo de historia florentina.  Como es obvio, he llegado a un Amérigo como el término natural de mi investigación.  Algún día habré de presentar los que fueron los otros Vespucci.  Pero por el momento podrá verse que el navegante fue un buen hombre, y un hombre culto, ilustrado en al mejor escuela del humanismo, que accidentalmente llego a España, que se vio envuelto en los viajes no por espíritu aventurero ni por vocación heroica, y que debió todo el curso de su carrera a dos condiciones fundamentales en él: una curiosidad científica iluminada por su propio genio, y la fama, que  jamás dejo de acompañarle, de ser un hombre en quien todos podían confiar.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-3724803933213800805?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/3724803933213800805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/amerigo-y-el-nuevo-mundo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3724803933213800805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3724803933213800805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/amerigo-y-el-nuevo-mundo.html' title='Amérigo y el Nuevo Mundo'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-6567162582715471765</id><published>2012-02-07T10:10:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2012-02-07T10:12:22.901-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 5'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colonialism'/><title type='text'>The Spanish Empire in America</title><content type='html'>Haring, C.

Putnam &amp; Co.1853.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Preface:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The history of nations, or of the times in which they flourished, does not interest, simply by showing the degree of power and culture to which they attained, and the means by which they were able to subjugate or aggrandize those who were ruled; but also, by instructing us in the progressive steps of commerce, arts, and sciences; those mighty agents which enlarge the understanding, develop the riches of nature, remove obstacles, and prepare a people for the enjoyment of rational liberty. The code which governed the ancient Peruvian nation, dictated by its founder, Manco-Capac, and amplified by his successors, laid the foundations of that public happiness, of which for some centuries his descendants have been deprived: but it was not the basis of that political liberty which moves men, inspires great thoughts, diffuses light, and enlarges the limits of human knowledge. Its theocratical government took care that the worship of the divinity which they adored, throughout the entire kingdom, should not languish; it was a means which, as in all the most enlightened monarchies of the old world, was called in, to give security to political power:-that public morality should not be relaxed by the toleration of disorder:-that agriculture and industry should be advanced:-that public works should be constructed and preserved:-and finally, that no one should be without occupation, and useless alike to the State and his fellow-men. Kings and priests at the same time, the sovereigns ruled, in the name of the Sun, with an absolute independence; but were not, on this account, placed above the laws of justice and humanity. To study, therefore, institutions so beneficent, on the very spot where they existed; to examine their archaeological monuments; to obtain an exact knowledge of their idiom, religion, laws, sciences and customs, as well as all that relates to the empire of the Andes, was the plan which we proposed to pursue, by traversing the land of the Incas.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=moa&amp;cc=moa&amp;view=text&amp;rgn=main&amp;idno=AFK5502.0001.001"&gt;Text&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bibliodyssey.blogspot.com/2007/09/peruvian-antiquities.html"&gt;Illustrations and synopsis&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-2623854550477357113?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/2623854550477357113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/peruvian-antiquities.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/2623854550477357113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/2623854550477357113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/peruvian-antiquities.html' title='Peruvian Antiquities'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-3016944594408833359</id><published>2012-02-04T14:54:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2012-02-04T14:57:10.203-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 5'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Colombia'/><title type='text'>San Andrés y Providencia: Una Geografía Histórica de las Islas Colombianas del Caribe Occidental</title><content type='html'>Parsons, James J.,  &lt;u&gt;San Andrés y Providencia: una geografía histórica de las islas colombianas del Caribe occidental&lt;/u&gt;, Bogotá: Publicaciones del Banco de la Republica, 1964.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De los “Reconocimientos” del autor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Los trabajos de campo para este estudio se llevaron acabo en la primavera y verano de 1953, con la ayuda de la Oficina de Investigaciones Navales, Sección de Geografía, de los Estados Unidos.

[With many illustrations from photographs by Arthur W. Rushmore and drawings by Marie Royle]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Preface:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;During a trip to the Lesser Antilles in the summer of 1887, the writer of the following pages, landing at Martinique, fell under the influence of that singular spell which the island has always exercised upon strangers, and by which it has earned its poetic name,—Le Pays des Revenants. Even as many another before him, he left its charmed shores only to know himself haunted by that irresistible regret,—unlike any other,—which is the enchantment of the land upon all who wander away from it. So he returned, intending to remain some months; but the bewitchment prevailed, and he remained two years.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Available on-line  via &lt;a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/6381"&gt;Project Gutenberg&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafcadio_Hearn"&gt;Patrick Lafcadio Hearn&lt;/a&gt; (27 June 1850 – 26 September 1904), known also by the Japanese name Koizumi Yakumo, was an international writer, known best for his books about Japan, especially his collections of Japanese legends and ghost stories, such as Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things.  In the United States, Hearn is also known for his writings about the city of New Orleans based on his 10-year stay in that city. (…) Hearn's writings for the New Orleans newspapers included impressionistic descriptions of places and characters and many stern, vigorous editorials denouncing political corruption, street crime, violence, intolerance, and the failures of public health and hygiene officials. Despite the fact that he is credited with "inventing" New Orleans as an exotic and mysterious place, his obituaries of the vodou leaders Marie Laveau and Doctor John Montenet are matter-of-fact and debunking. A selection of Hearn's writings were collected in S. Fredrick Starr's book Inventing New Orleans: Writings of Lafcadio Hearn, published by the University Press of Mississippi.[2] Harper's sent Hearn to the West Indies as a correspondent in 1887. &lt;b&gt;He spent two years in Martinique and produced two books: Two Years in the French West Indies and Youma, The Story of a West-Indian Slave, both in 1890.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-6958528287961404306?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/6958528287961404306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-years-in-french-west-indies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/6958528287961404306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/6958528287961404306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-years-in-french-west-indies.html' title='Two Years in the French West Indies'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-8359702588030505683</id><published>2012-02-04T14:35:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2012-02-04T14:37:25.503-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 5'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='General'/><title type='text'>Léopold Sédar Senghor and the Politics of Negritude</title><content type='html'>Markovitz, Irving Leonard, &lt;u&gt;Léopold Sédar Senghor and the politics of Negritude&lt;/u&gt;, New York: Atheneum, 1969.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed in &lt;a href="http://www.jstor.org/sici?sici=0364-1686(1976)2%3C154:POLSAT%3E2.0.CO;2-5"&gt;ASA Review of Books © 1976&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contents:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I.

Educator, historian, and civil servant German Arciniegas represented his native Colombia as ambassador to several countries, while also serving in the Colombian Ministry of Education and as a member of the Colombian Parliament for three terms. The author of 1986's America in Europe: A History of the New World in Reverse and many other books, he promoted a non-Eurocentric view of world history in which the Americas played a positive role. Arciniegas also became a noted journalist and lived abroad from 1942 through 1960 because of his strong criticism of the military dictatorships then in power throughout Latin America.  Arciniegas was born in a rural area near Bogota, Colombia, on December 6, 1900, to dairy owners Rafael and Aurora (Angueyra) Arciniegas, and as a child he developed a great love for the countryside. He came from a long line of political agitators: his great grandfather, Pedro Figueredo, was executed by Spanish officials for leading a rebel Cuban force and penning that country's national anthem, "La Bayamesa."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.banrepcultural.org/blaavirtual/ayudadetareas/poli/poli40.htm"&gt;Biblioteca Virtual Luis Ángel Arango&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; En 1952, Arciniegas escribe Entre la Libertad y el Miedo, el cual es un amplio reportaje sobre los fenómenos del fascismo, el nazismo, el peronismo y las dictaduras que cundían por doquier en Hispanoamérica.  A pesar de la gran calidad de sus obras, Arciniegas, en los años sesenta y setenta, no es acogido por los intelectuales colombianos; hasta la década de los ochenta, cuando vuelve al país tras un largo viajes por Venezuela, es acogido y nombrado decano de la Facultad de filosofía y letras de la Universidad de los Andes y Presidente de la Academia colombiana de historia. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-7955646444546188578?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/7955646444546188578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/entre-la-libertad-y-el-miedo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/7955646444546188578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/7955646444546188578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/entre-la-libertad-y-el-miedo.html' title='Entre la Libertad y el Miedo'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-2454761643638926001</id><published>2012-01-29T18:40:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T18:50:21.740-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 5'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cuba'/><title type='text'>Bolívar y las Antillas Hispanas</title><content type='html'>Santovenia, Emeterio S., &lt;u&gt;Bolívar y las Antillas Hispanas&lt;/u&gt;, Madrid: Espasa-Calpe, s.a., 1935.

Dicho documento está dividido en tres partes, a saber:&lt;br /&gt;• Primera parte: Situación política. En la que se nos hace un esbozo del fundamento tanto constitucional como jerárquico y organizacional del régimen trujillista.&lt;br /&gt;• Segunda parte: Situación Económica. Se nos presenta el panorama económico durante la tiranía, haciendo un análisis sistemático de las principales fuentes de producción de la República Dominicana en aquél entonces, como también de la desigual repartición de la economía&lt;br /&gt;• Tercera parte: Situación Cultural. Se hace en esta última parte un análisis de las estructuras del sistema de enseñanza, dejando entre ver las debilidades y fortalezas del mismo de una manera objetiva y analítica.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De la carpeta del libro:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; José R. Cordero Michel nació el 7 de enero de 1931 en Santiago de los Caballeros, Republica Dominicana.  Estudió en la … (UASD) en la que obtuvo, en 1953, el titulo de Doctor en Derecho.  En dicho año abandonó el país e ingresó en la Universidad de Wisconsin, EE.UU., en la que tomó cursos especializados de Economía y Seguros hasta finales de 1954.  Vivió en Escocia e Inglaterra de 1954 a 1956 realizando estudios de Economía, Seguros y Sociología en las Universidades de Perth y de Londres.  De ahí marchó a Francia y estudió en la Universidad La Sorbonne, de Paris, en la que recibió el Doctorado en Ciencias Económicas en noviembre de 1958.  A comienzos de 1959 fue invitado por la Universidad de Puerto Rico a dictar un ciclo de conferencias acerca de la situación económica, política y social del Caribe, en particular de la Republica Dominicana, y a ingresar al cuerpo docente de su Departamento de Ciencias Políticas.  Desde Puerto Rico, desestimando las prometedoras ofertas académicas que se le ofrecían, se traslado a Cuba para enrolarse al glorioso Ejercito de Liberacion Dominicana que el &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desembarco_del_14_de_junio_de_1959"&gt;14 de junio de 1959&lt;/a&gt;, se lanzo a la lucha armada contra la tiranía de Trujillo en Constanza, Maimón y Estero Hondo.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-4794229119844752927?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/4794229119844752927/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/analisis-de-la-era-de-trujillo-informe.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/4794229119844752927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/4794229119844752927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/analisis-de-la-era-de-trujillo-informe.html' title='Análisis de la era de Trujillo: informe sobre la República Dominicana, 1959'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-4726585786527421596</id><published>2012-01-22T16:04:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T16:05:59.470-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dominican Republic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>El Mensajero, 1886-1889, II tomo</title><content type='html'>Henríquez i Carvajal, Federico, &lt;u&gt;El Mensajero, 1886-1889, II tomo&lt;/u&gt;, La Habana: Instituto de Historia, 1964.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extracto de Emilio Roig de Leuchsenring:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;El Instituto de Historia, en su gesto del mejor americanismo, ofrece al publico la reimpresión de los artículos editoriales de &lt;i&gt;El Mensajero&lt;/i&gt;, periódico editado de 1886 a 1889 por aquel hijo excelso de la hermana republica de Santo Domingo que se llamo Don Federico Henríquez y Carvajal.

El contenido de este cuaderno, se basa exclusivamente en los datos obtenidos en las escasas fuentes bibliográficas dedicadas a reseñar la evolución del proletariado latinoamericano.  No se pretende hacer propiamente una historia – tarea de impostergable necesidad para los investigadores revolucionarios - , sino solo organizar de un modo elemental una relación de sucesos destacados correspondientes al movimiento obrero.  Es por ello que aquí resaltan los acontecimientos mas importantes en el desarrollo de la clase obrera en los años que precedieron a la Revolucion Socialista de Octubre, cuando era labor de unos cuantos pioneros la difusión de la doctrina científica genialmente concebida por Carlos Marx y Federico Engels.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-7540628834772764028?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/7540628834772764028/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/cronologia-del-movimiento-obrero-y-de.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/7540628834772764028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/7540628834772764028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/cronologia-del-movimiento-obrero-y-de.html' title='Cronología del Movimiento Obrero y de las Luchas por la Revolución Socialista en América Latina'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-9197142959804208308</id><published>2012-01-22T15:58:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T16:02:16.446-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dominican Republic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>Los Restos de Colon en Santo Domingo y Otros Apuntes Colombinos</title><content type='html'>Paulino, Aliro (hijo), &lt;u&gt;Los restos de Colon en Santo Domingo y otros apuntes colombinos&lt;/u&gt;, Santo Domingo: Ediciones Taller, 1974.

Se diría que para ella es imposible escribir “desde fuera” del proceso que estudia… Este formidable libro recoge y estudia una fase desconocida de la cultura de los dominicanos: el culto denominado Gagá, el cual rescata la profesora Rosenberg, ubicándolo en el contexto religioso y social que le corresponde, no sin antes demostrar que el mismo no ha sido jamás una expresión folklórica, ni carnavalesca, como se creen muchos investigadores y curiosos.  El Gagá, cuya manifestación pública más elocuente es su expresión por las celebraciones de semana santa, es todo un conjunto de relaciones socio-religiosas que opera desde un contexto social rural, ligado al ingenio y a la caña de azúcar. El Gagá es una especie de salvoconducto para seres que solo pueden arribar al "prestigio" mediante una organización en la que predominan los contactos con el mundo de los espíritus, los guedés, los luá, los seres del ritual radá y del ritual petró. En el fondo, el gagá, es una joya de la transculturación afroamericana en primer término, y domínico-haitiana en segundo término.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online in &lt;a href="http://asodea.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/june-rosenberg-el-gagareligion-y-sociedad-de-un-culto-dominicano.pdf"&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt; format.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-4771563905524723890?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/4771563905524723890/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/el-gaga-religion-y-sociedad-de-un-culto.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/4771563905524723890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/4771563905524723890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/el-gaga-religion-y-sociedad-de-un-culto.html' title='El Gagá: Religión y Sociedad de un Culto Dominicano'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-8183157022963447635</id><published>2012-01-16T16:19:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-16T16:21:13.314-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mexico'/><title type='text'>Naufragios en Aguas Mexicanas</title><content type='html'>Marx, Robert, &lt;u&gt;Naufragios en Aguas Mexicanas&lt;/u&gt;, México: Club de Exploraciones y Deportes Acuáticos de México, 1971.

Mejía&lt;/a&gt; nació en 1892 en Santo Domingo, donde ejerció el derecho y fue diputado por la provincia Duarte. Fue perseguido tenazmente por la dictadura trujillista por su oposición al régimen, situación que lo llevó al exilio. Mejía participó en la expedición de Cayo Confites, en 1947, por lo cual fue condenado por un tribunal dominicano a 30 años de cárcel, la pena máxima en nuestro país. Otros 30 años de cárcel también les fueron impuestos por su apoyo a las expediciones de 1959.  El autor “De Lilís a Trujillo” dedicó su vida a la lucha por la liberación y el bienestar de la patria. En 1961 regresó y restableció lazos con su país, pero tras la muerte de su esposa, se retiró a Venezuela, donde falleció en 1971. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Versión en &lt;a href="http://es.scribd.com/doc/67440747/DeLilisaTrujillointernet"&gt;scribd&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-2165334985691485552?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/2165334985691485552/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/de-lilis-trujillo-historia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/2165334985691485552'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/2165334985691485552'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/de-lilis-trujillo-historia.html' title='De Lilís a Trujillo: Historia Contemporánea de la República Dominicana'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-8426478988317170008</id><published>2012-01-15T16:49:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T16:52:32.923-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cuba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>Fidel Castro's Political Programs from Reformism to "Marxism-Leninism"</title><content type='html'>Wilkerson, Loree A.R., &lt;u&gt;Fidel Castro's Political Programs from Reformism to "Marxism-Leninism"&lt;/u&gt;, Gainesville: University of Florida Press, 1965.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Born in Oregon, Loree A.

El periodo aquí estudiado corresponde definitivamente a la etapa precapitalista de la sociedad mexicana. Estamos ante un sistema heterogéneo o pluriparticular en el cual pueden detectarse diversos modos de producción.  Su funcionamiento es determinado por usos múltiples del producto excedente: la voracidad del tesoro español; la acumulación primitiva en Holanda, Francia, Inglaterra; el consumo de los encomenderos, hacendados y caciques; la acumulación de fortunas monetarias de los funcionarios públicos para su exportación a España.  Sin embargo, una cosa es clara: el modo de producción capitalista, en la medida en que despunta en tal o cual sector, se encuentra en un estado potencial, embrionario y supeditado a las relaciones precapitalistas dominantes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-3059708386231345506?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/3059708386231345506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/historia-del-capitalismo-en-mexico.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3059708386231345506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3059708386231345506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/historia-del-capitalismo-en-mexico.html' title='Historia del Capitalismo en México'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-1441643034505299164</id><published>2012-01-14T16:22:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T16:34:14.574-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='West Indies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>West Indian Societies</title><content type='html'>Lowenthal, David, &lt;u&gt;West Indian Societies&lt;/u&gt;, New York and London: Oxford University Press, 1972.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cited by Gordon K.

The purpose, which in 1952 seemed less obvious and perhaps less naive than today, was to compare with each other a wide range of societies within which there were ethnic or physical differences carrying some social significance, to consider in each the degree of social importance attached to physical characteristics, and to consider what other factors might be responsible for the differences in social structures that emerged.  (...) The Caribbean, it was often said, was a natural laboratory.  The numerical proportions of the races, the history of conquest, the differing cultures and religions of the colonial powers, economic factors, and terrain - all these made differences which would illuminate the subject.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-1441643034505299164?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/1441643034505299164/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/west-indian-societies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/1441643034505299164'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/1441643034505299164'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/west-indian-societies.html' title='West Indian Societies'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-1606421939073087433</id><published>2012-01-14T16:21:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T16:22:41.019-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dominican Republic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>La Batalla de las Carreras</title><content type='html'>Herrera, César A., &lt;u&gt;La Batalla de las Carreras: Sus antecedentes históricos y consecuencias trascendentales&lt;/u&gt;, Tercera Edición, Santo Domingo: Ediciones Renovación, 1971.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batalla_de_Las_Carreras"&gt;La Batalla de Las Carreras&lt;/a&gt; fue una de las grandes batallas durante los años posteriores a la Guerra de la Independencia Dominicana y se libró el 21 de abril de 1849, cerca de Baní, provincia Peravia.

Bien es sabido que la afroamericanística es una disciplina antropológica muy joven tanto en el exterior como aun mas en Venezuela, donde la seria investigación del etno africano solo empezó hace unos 25 o 30 años.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-2003936314611559364?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/2003936314611559364/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/bibliografia-afrovenezolana.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/2003936314611559364'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/2003936314611559364'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/bibliografia-afrovenezolana.html' title='Bibliografía Afrovenezolana'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-1793708860912109415</id><published>2012-01-14T16:14:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T16:17:09.405-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Venezuela'/><title type='text'>Carlos Andrés Pérez: Discursos en su Gira al Exterior 15 - XI al 1 - XII - 1976</title><content type='html'>Pérez, Carlos Andrés, &lt;u&gt;Discursos en su gira al exterior 15 - XI al 1 - XII - 1976: ONU, Roma, Vaticano, Londres, Moscú, Ginebra, Madrid, Lisboa&lt;/u&gt;,  Caracas: Imprenta Nacional, 1977.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Andr%C3%A9s_P%C3%A9rez"&gt;Carlos Andrés Pérez Rodríguez&lt;/a&gt; (Rubio, Estado Táchira, Venezuela, 27 de octubre de 1922 – Miami, Estado de Florida, Estados Unidos, 25 de diciembre de 2010) fue un político venezolano perteneciente al partido Acción Democrática, que ejerció el cargo de Presidente de la República en dos periodos (1974-1979 y 1989-1993).&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-1793708860912109415?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/1793708860912109415/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/carlos-andres-perez-discursos-en-su.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/1793708860912109415'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/1793708860912109415'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/carlos-andres-perez-discursos-en-su.html' title='Carlos Andrés Pérez: Discursos en su Gira al Exterior 15 - XI al 1 - XII - 1976'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-7173506158266348362</id><published>2012-01-14T16:13:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T16:14:48.319-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dominican Republic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>Cosas de Lilís</title><content type='html'>de Castro, Víctor Manuel, &lt;u&gt;Cosas de Lilís&lt;/u&gt;, Santo Domingo: Cuna de América, 1919.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulises_Heureaux"&gt;Ulises Hilarión Heureaux Lebert&lt;/a&gt; conocido como Lilís (1845 - 1899) fue un militar y político dominicano.

Estas ocupaciones son importantes porque complementan la arqueología dominicana de una zona apenas estudiada, y dan oportunidad de establecer la aparición de un complejo de yacimientos con sílex como materia prima similares a los del área de Barrera Mordan, en la provincia de Azua, República Dominicana.  Los estudios de la provincia de Pedernales se pueden dividir en dos grandes áreas de ocupación: la de habitantes pre-agrícolas ligados a la zona de rio y caverna, y la de agricultores relacionados con una alta zona de meseta en donde están presentes numerosos montículos agrícolas. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-2010859556875454558?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/2010859556875454558/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/investigaciones-arqueologicas-en-la.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/2010859556875454558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/2010859556875454558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/investigaciones-arqueologicas-en-la.html' title='Investigaciones Arqueológicas en la Provincia de Pedernales, Rep.

(Barcelona, España, 27 de julio de 1939 - Bangkok, Tailandia, 18 de octubre de 2003) fue un escritor español conocido sobre todo por sus novelas protagonizadas por el detective Pepe Carvalho.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De la portada:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; Manuel Vázquez Montalbán era un estudiante universitario cuando en 1956 la corta nota de un periódico franquista hizo constar la desaparición de un líder vasco en Nueva York; desde entonces el tema lo apasionó, reservó para el un espacio en su memoria y anotó los sucesivos conflictos que tras la desaparición de ese hombre se fueron desencadenando.  Galíndez, deriva así de un episodio real, de la desaparición en 1956 de Jesús de Galíndez, representante del Gobierno vasco en el exilio ante el Departamento de Estado norteamericano, y su secuestro, tortura, y asesinato en la Republica Dominicana por orden, y tal vez en presencia, de Rafael L. Trujillo Molina.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jes%C3%BAs_Gal%C3%ADndez"&gt;Jesús de Galíndez Suárez&lt;/a&gt;, nacido en Amurrio (Álava) el 12 de octubre de 1915. Fue raptado en Nueva York y enviado a la fuerza por avión a República Dominicana donde fue asesinado por orden Trujillo en 1956.

Este caso le creo a Trujillo una imagen desfavorable a la opinión pública estadounidenses y contribuyó en cierta medida el deterioro sus relaciones con los Estados Unidos.

Con posterioridad a esta ultima fecha, tuvieron lugar grandes cambios políticos en esa región: el asesinato de Trujillo en la Republica dominicana; la caída de Batista en Cuba y el afianzamiento del régimen dirigido por Fidel Castro; la posterior crisis en las relaciones cubano-norteamericanas y la intervención soviética en el area; los sucesos de Santo Domingo; el surgimiento y caída de la Confederación de las Antillas británicas; la derrota del Partido Popular de Muñoz Marín en Puerto Rico; la independencia de Barbados y Guayana; la creación de los Estados Asociados del Caribe Oriental y el crecimiento de la cooperación económica regional.  La narración de estos sucesos ha sido incorporado por los autores en la segunda y tercera edición de la obra: 1963 y 1971 respetivamente.

La actividad económica de las islas se comprende mejor no solo teniendo en cuenta las regulaciones  estatales, sino sus problemas demográficos, sus recursos, sus condiciones agrícolas, sus medios de transporte, y otros temas.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-6376418912401189495?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/6376418912401189495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/el-comercio-canario-americano-siglos.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/6376418912401189495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/6376418912401189495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/el-comercio-canario-americano-siglos.html' title='El Comercio Canario-Americano (siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII)'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-1829523609055354221</id><published>2012-01-03T14:28:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-03T14:30:14.384-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dominican Republic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>La Pequeña Burguesía en la Historia de la República Dominicana</title><content type='html'>Bosch, Juan, &lt;u&gt;La Pequeña Burguesía en la Historia de la República Dominicana&lt;/u&gt;, Santo Domingo: Editora Alfa y Omega, 1985.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De la portada:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; La Pequeña Burguesía en la Historia de la República Dominicana es otra cosa; es historia al detalle de los primeros dieciséis años de vida republicana de nuestro país.

I also visited Haiti and Porto Rico, and was already more or less familiar with Cuba and Jamaica. It seemed wise to establish some comparisons, especially with Haiti, where so much of the labor comes from and where American military supervision is still operating. The expense has been borne by the American Fund for Public Service. An advisory committee of scholars in history and international law, practising attorneys and other specially qualified people gave valuable advice, but never interfered in any way with the work. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed in &lt;a href="http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/78625/melvin-m-knight/the-americans-in-santo-domingo"&gt;Foreign Affairs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online version from &lt;a href="http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&amp;d=358024"&gt;Questia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-3692214786690459337?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/3692214786690459337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/americans-in-santo-domingo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3692214786690459337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3692214786690459337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2012/01/americans-in-santo-domingo.html' title='The Americans in Santo Domingo'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-8892929090283731665</id><published>2012-01-01T15:51:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T15:53:41.192-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cuba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>Cuba: Its People, Its Society, Its Culture</title><content type='html'>MacGaffey, Wyatt, Clifford R.

Objectivity is a rare virtue, which the authors do not claim; but at least they have consciously sought an independent point of view.  Their principal concern has been the pattern of political leadership - its values, goals and techniques; inevitably, many aspects of Cuban life are slighted which others would have stressed.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed  by  C.

Se formó como antropólogo en la Universidad de São Paulo (1946), dedicando los primeros años de su carrera profesional al estudio de los indígenas brasileños (hasta entonces, bastante desconocidos). Adquirió prestigio trabajando como consultor sobre dicho tema para la Unesco y la OIT. En los años siguientes fundó la Universidad de Brasilia, de la que fue su primer Rector. Fue ministro de Educación en el fugaz Gobierno parlamentario de Hermes Lima (1962-1963). Posteriormente fue nombrado ministro de la Casa Civil del presidente varguista João Goulart.

W. Clarke LITS2306 Notes 08D&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Brathwaite’s The Development of Creole Society in Jamaica is, by his own description, a “historical study with a socio-cultural emphasis” (xiv) and, one as such, with decisive implications for understanding Caribbean society as a whole in the twentieth society.  His thesis here is that the &lt;blockquote&gt;people, mainly from Britain and West Africa, who settled, lived, worked and were born in Jamaica, contributed to the formation of a society . . . which, in so far as it was neither purely British nor West African, is . . . creole.  (xiii)&lt;/blockquote&gt; The term ‘creole’ as used by Brathwaite denotes, when applied to persons, both whites and blacks, freeborn and slave, “born in, native to, committed to the area of living” (xv).  When applied to the general society, it denotes both a colonial relationship with a “metropolitan European power, on the one hand, and a plantation arrangement on the other” (xv).  Creole Jamaica, Brathwaite is explicit, was a society in which there was a “juxtaposition of master and slave, élite and labourer, in a culturally heterogeneous relationship” (xvi).  Although “multi-racial” (xv), it was “organised from the benefit of a minority of European origin” (xv).&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed in &lt;a href="http://www.jstor.org/stable/2776383"&gt;American Journal of Sociology © 1974&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed in &lt;a href="http://www.jstor.org/stable/2716756"&gt;The Journal of Negro History © 1973&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-528479730688659221?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/528479730688659221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/12/development-of-creole-society-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/528479730688659221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/528479730688659221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/12/development-of-creole-society-in.html' title='The Development of Creole Society in Jamaica, 1770 - 1820'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-3459720272344771886</id><published>2011-12-26T15:12:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-12-26T15:33:41.389-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cuba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>Cuba Today</title><content type='html'>Chadwick, Lee, &lt;u&gt;Cuba Today&lt;/u&gt;, Westport, Conn.: Lawrence Hill &amp; Co.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the cover:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Four months of travel in Cuba inspired this frank, personal account of the island's culture and other aspects of the Cuban revolution.  In Part I, "Background to the new Cuba," Lee Chadwick provides a clear and valuable historical  setting for her own observations.  The book is filled with interesting often humorous glimpses of island life, from Sombrero making to a People's Court session, from children's comics to cattle breeding, from pineapple farming to traditional cuisine and Sundays in Havana.  Ms. Chadwick investigates educational experiments and racial intermixing and is particularly curious about the life of Cuba's young people.  As a writer for children, she was privileged to visit schools and work-study programs throughout the island.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grahamstevenson.me.uk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=93:lee-chadwick&amp;catid=3:c&amp;Itemid=99"&gt;Lee Chadwick&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Lee Bosence was born in 1909 in Battersea, London, one of eight children. At the beginning of the First World War her mother took the two youngest children to Whyteleaf in Surrey, which was then a very rural area. A sense of freedom and a love of wildlife which was established in her childhood were to become the driving influences of her life.  She graduated in English and Psychology at Bedford College in Regent spark, London. In 1937, after periods of teaching in both France and England she came to work at Summerhill School in Leiston. Here she met Paxton `Chad' Chadwick (see separate entry), who was teaching art. Lee then joined the Communist Party in 1937. (...) Chad worked as a wildlife illustrator for Penguin books. After Chad died in 1961, Cassell, the publisher, invited Lee to complete the Pantoscope series of educational paperbacks he had begun. Her research into aspects of fishing and fruit industries gave her the confidence to begin her own literary career. Subsequently she wrote a number of documentary books embracing a range of topics from the future of agriculture to lighthouses and lightships. Research for these took her from Rome to Cuba and to most of the lighthouses in the British Isles.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-3459720272344771886?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/3459720272344771886/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/12/cuba-today.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3459720272344771886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3459720272344771886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/12/cuba-today.html' title='Cuba Today'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-220537306682016177</id><published>2011-12-26T14:57:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2011-12-26T15:11:15.262-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Caribbean'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colonialism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Latin America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>With Speaker Cannon Through the Tropics</title><content type='html'>Moore, J.

El autor analiza los antecedentes, origen familiar, nivel económico social, tipo de educación recibida y carreras que han realizado las personas que, por estar al frente de las máximas instituciones representativas de cada sector, han tenido la responsabilidad de la conducción en las distintas actividades del país. Desfilan así, en estas páginas, ministros y gobernadores; titulares del Poder Ejecutivo; oficiales superiores de las Fuerzas Armadas; autoridades eclesiásticas; dirigentes de la Unión Industrial, de la Confederación General Económica, de la Sociedad Rural; miembros de los comités nacionales y las juntas ejecutivas de los partidos políticos, e integrantes del secretariado de la Confederación General del Trabajo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A través de dicho estudio, y sobre la base de una muestra estadísticamente representativa del grupo de dirigentes, Imaz examina las diversas modalidades que ha tenido la selección de esos dirigentes. Luego de ese trabajo paciente, estrictamente técnico y metodológicamente depurado, el autor llega a la conclusión de que no existe una clase dirigente en la Argentina, único juicio de valor que, conscientemente, introduce en la obra. "No hay una clase dirigente auténtica, afirma, aunque haya muchos que mandan individual y aisladamente, cuando no de un modo excluyente y contrapuesto.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-3090397108102018900?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/3090397108102018900/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/12/los-que-mandan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3090397108102018900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3090397108102018900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/12/los-que-mandan.html' title='Los que Mandan'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-1556665123461244064</id><published>2011-12-18T12:52:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-12-18T13:12:31.255-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dominican Republic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>El Gran Incendio</title><content type='html'>Mir, Pedro, &lt;u&gt;El gran incendio: los balbuceos americanos del capitalismo mundial&lt;/u&gt;, 2nda edición, Santo Domingo: Ediciones de Taller, 1974.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rsta.pucmm.edu.do/mir/obras.html"&gt;Web site de Pedro Mir&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Mir"&gt;Pedro Julio Mir Valentín&lt;/a&gt;.

Mixing science and literature, the author narrates the story of a war that happened in the end of the 19th century, in Canudos, a settlement of Bahia's Sertão ("backland"), an extremely arid region where, even now, struggles against poverty, drought and political corruption continue. During the war (1893–1897) against the republican army, the sertanejos (inhabitants of the backlands) were commanded by a messianic leader called Antonio Conselheiro.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclides_da_Cunha"&gt;Euclides da Cunha&lt;/a&gt; (January 20, 1866 – August 15, 1909) was a Brazilian writer, sociologist and engineer. His most important work is Os Sertões (Rebellion in the Backlands), a non-fictional account of the military expeditions promoted by the Brazilian government against the rebellious village of Canudos, known as the War of Canudos. This book was a favorite of Robert Lowell, who put it above Tolstoy, the Russian writer.

Pedro Andrés Pérez Cabral (Corpito) nació en San Pedro de Macorís en 1910 y murió en Venezuela el 9 de mayo de 1981. En 1945 se graduó de Doctor en Ciencias Políticas y Derecho. En su condición de opositor al régimen de Trujillo, vivió muchos años en el exilio. Decapitada la dictadura, retornó a su país natal, donde fundó, junto al profesor Dato Pagán Perdomo, el Partido Nacionalista Revolucionario, en 1961. Volvió al exilio en 1963, algunos meses antes del golpe de Estado. Permaneció en Venezuela hasta su muerte. Su novela Jengibre, publicada en Caracas, aborda la situación de los trabajadores dominicanos hace medio siglo, y propone una severa crítica a la explotación proletaria y la dominación imperialista en la industria azucarera.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedro L.

Pérez Cabral titulada &lt;b&gt;La comunidad mulata: el caso socio-político de la República Dominicana&lt;/b&gt;,5 aparecida más de tres décadas después de haberse publicado Insularismo; pese a esto, entre ellas existen importantes vasos comunicantes en lo que respecta al mestizaje en las Antillas. En ambas obras, para decirlo de manera concisa, se realiza una interpretación racialista según la cual la existencia de la población mestiza se concibe como un lastre a los procesos de formación nacional en la República Dominicana y Puerto Rico, respectivamente.6 &lt;/blockquote&gt;* Boletín del Archivo General de la Nación, Año LXIX, Vol. XXXII, Núm. 118.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-8619452532951738171?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/8619452532951738171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/11/la-comunidad-mulata-el-caso-socio.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/8619452532951738171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/8619452532951738171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/11/la-comunidad-mulata-el-caso-socio.html' title='La Comunidad Mulata: el caso socio-político de la República Dominicana'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-5270956746077672702</id><published>2011-11-26T13:48:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-11-26T14:10:21.503-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Costa Rica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>José Figueres Ferrer, el hombre y su obra</title><content type='html'>Castro Esquivel, Arturo, &lt;u&gt;José Figueres Ferrer, el hombre y su obra: ensayo de una biografía&lt;/u&gt;, San José: Imprenta Tormo, 1955.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.elespiritudel48.org/bio/bio12.htm"&gt;Espíritu del 48&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Figueres_Ferrer"&gt;José María Hipólito Figueres Ferrer&lt;/a&gt; (25 September 1906 – 8 June 1990), served as President of Costa Rica on three occasions: 1948–1949, 1953–1958, and 1970–1974.

Here more than anywhere else masters and slaves constituted  the basic ingredients of the social order; here more than anywhere else class and status were based on distinction of color and race.

Su lugar está entre los creadores de la tradición hispanoamericana: Bello, Sarmiento, Montalvo, Hostos, Martí, Rodó. En ellos pensar y escribir fue una forma del bien social, y la belleza una manera de educación para el pueblo. Claros varones de acción y de pensamiento a quienes conviene el elogio de Menéndez y Pelayo: «comparables en algún modo con aquellos patriarcas... que el mito clásico nos presenta a la vez filósofos y poetas, atrayendo a los hombres con el halago de la armonía para reducirlos a cultura y vida social, al mismo tiempo que levantaban los muros de las ciudades y escribían en tablas imperecederas los sagrados preceptos de la ley».

After more than thirty years under one government, the Dominican Republic has seen more than a half dozen regimes come and go in the past four years.  The only one of these to come to power through a popular election was Dr. Bosch's, inaugurated in February, 1963.  With the victory of Dr. Bosch and his party - the PRD - the Dominican Republic was hailed as a "showcase of democracy," as proof that the disease of dictatorship was not chronic and that a healthy democracy could be established within the body politic.  But seven months after he took office, Dr. Bosch was sent into exile, the victim of a &lt;a href="http://countrystudies.us/dominican-republic/13.htm"&gt;military coup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed in &lt;a href="http://www.jstor.org/sici?sici=0018-2168(196611)46:4%3C465:TUEDIT%3E2.0.CO;2-X"&gt;The Hispanic American Historical Review © 1966&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-3507590083506747009?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/3507590083506747009/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/11/unfinished-experiment-democracy-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3507590083506747009'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/3507590083506747009'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/11/unfinished-experiment-democracy-in.html' title='The unfinished experiment: democracy in the Dominican Republic'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-8193622177387115654</id><published>2011-11-19T17:48:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T18:23:38.478-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dominican Republic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>Trujillo: The Life and Times of a Caribbean Dictator</title><content type='html'>Crassweller, Robert D., &lt;u&gt;Trujillo: The Life and Times of a Caribbean Dictator&lt;/u&gt;, New York: The Macmillan Company, 1966.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed in The Review of Politics / Volume 30 / Issue 03, pp 394 - 396.&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed in &lt;a href="http://www.jstor.org/sici?sici=0002-8762(196701)72:2%3C755:TTLATO%3E2.0.CO;2-1"&gt;The American Historical Review © 1967&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Cited by Manuel Ortega in &lt;a href="http://www.jstor.org/stable/174755?seq=2"&gt;Journal of Interamerican Studies and World Affairs © 1971&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpt from the Preface:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The reader, who is only superficially familiar with Caribbean affairs may find the materials of this volume strange.  The extent to which violence, both open and covert, is a constant factor in the life of the region may cause surprise.  The incongruous and rather unreal quality of many events, whether fanciful or farcical in appearance, may also prove unexpected.  If the reader is inclined to doubt the authenticity of certain events, viewing them as too implausible o be true, he may be assured that many things even more strange, which are possibly and even probably true, have been omitted because their accuracy could not be satisfactorily established.  Nothing is included here that does not come from sources considered sound.  Nothing is included that has not been subjected to every possible verification.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpt from author's &lt;a href="http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/90142/publisher_ID/36/"&gt;Obituary&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;As a young attorney, Mr. Crassweller engaged in the private practice of law in Duluth and then moved to Washington, D.C. in 1943 to work for the State Department's Division of World Trade Intelligence. Following the war, he returned to Duluth to resume the private practice of law. From 1951 to 1953, he participated in a mining venture in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. In 1954, he became counsel for Pam American World Airways in New York City; he remained at Pan Am until 1966. From 1967 to 1969 he served as a Visiting Fellow on the Council of Foreign Relations in New York City, and he testified as an expert witness before the Committee on Foreign Affairs, United States House of Representatives, in Washington D.C. In 1970-1971, he was a Visiting Professor at both Sarah Lawrence College and Brooklyn College.

La obra está compuesta por 3 volúmenes, con los siguientes temas: “Estado actual de México”, “Conquista y conspiraciones en la colonia tendientes a la emancipación” y “Guerra de Independencia hasta 1812”. Mora participó de la preocupación de los constructores del Estado mexicano por difundir una buena imagen del país, despojada de falsedades y exageraciones que limitaban la inserción en el contexto internacional. Para ello explica que el objetivo de su obra es: “…contribuir a fijar el juicio de los pueblos civilizados sobre esta parte interesante de nuestro continente, desengañándolos de los multiplicados errores en que los han imbuido las relaciones poco exactas de los viajeros, los resentimientos de algunos, y el entusiasmo exagerado de no pocos”. Al igual que todos los autores de obras históricas, nuestro autor, busca dar una visión objetiva, aunque reconoce que “pretender o exigir imparcialidad de un escritor contemporáneo es la mayor extravagancia…la historia contemporánea no es ni puede ser otra cosa que la relación de las impresiones que sobre el escritor, han hecho las cosas y las personas…”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-181116409881994666?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/181116409881994666/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/11/mexico-y-sus-revoluciones.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/181116409881994666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/181116409881994666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/11/mexico-y-sus-revoluciones.html' title='México y Sus Revoluciones'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-3073245339701355944</id><published>2011-10-23T17:21:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-10-23T17:40:59.540-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mexico'/><title type='text'>Lázaro Cárdenas: Demócrata Mexicano</title><content type='html'>Townsend, William Cameron; Ramirez A., Avelino, traductor&lt;u&gt;Lázaro Cárdenas: Demócrata Mexicano&lt;/u&gt; Mexico: Editorial Grijalbo, 1954.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed in &lt;a href="http://www.jstor.org/pss/1030627"&gt;Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Del &lt;a href="http://www.sil.org/mexico/ilv/ecardenas.htm"&gt;Museo México-Cárdenas&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;La amistad entre el Gen.

The seed lay dormant until the second world war when, as a most pleasant and instructive interlude in an official mission to the British West Indies, I visited Puerto Rico. It &lt;br /&gt;seemed to me that the contrasts I then observed superficially were worth serious study and that the Caribbean islands, where Britain and America deal with very similar problems of government and development in close neighbourhood, was the proper place for such a study.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.questia.com/library/book/britain-and-the-united-states-in-the-caribbean-a-comparative-study-in-methods-of-development-by-mary-proudfoot.jsp"&gt;Questia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewed in &lt;a href="http://www.jstor.org/stable/800"&gt;The American Economic Review&lt;/a&gt; © 1955.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103402641357271553-4923898854073395348?l=latincaribliograph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/feeds/4923898854073395348/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/10/britain-and-united-states-in-caribbean.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/4923898854073395348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5103402641357271553/posts/default/4923898854073395348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://latincaribliograph.blogspot.com/2011/10/britain-and-united-states-in-caribbean.html' title='Britain and the United States in the Caribbean: A Comparative Study in Methods of Development'/><author><name>Dr. Mathews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00944918915228425786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eoPF7HM6e_s/S1SLKcWAsnI/AAAAAAAAAEE/moLESSj9UBE/S220/Mathews.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103402641357271553.post-6892937619186858187</id><published>2011-10-23T16:54:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-10-23T17:07:00.929-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cuba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='box 4'/><title type='text'>To Cuba and Back: A Vacation Voyage</title><content type='html'>Dana, Richard Henry, &lt;u&gt;To Cuba and Back: A vacation voyage&lt;/u&gt;, London: Smith, Elder and Co., 1859. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books/about/To_Cuba_and_back.html?id=BTwYAAAAYAAJ"&gt;E Book&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&amp;d=6245120"&gt;Questia&lt;/a&gt; &amp; &lt;a href="http://www.archive.org/details/tocubabackvacati00dana"&gt;Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Henry_Dana,_Jr."&gt;Richard Henry Dana Jr.&lt;/a&gt; (August 1, 1815 – January 6, 1882) was an American lawyer and politician from Massachusetts, a descendant of an eminent colonial family who gained renown as the author of the American classic, the memoir Two Years Before the Mast.
