Una y otra generación latinoamericana, en sus ansias de vivir intensamente en el desvenir de un tiempo y espacio que parece no ser nuestro, alza su voz, protesta, gime, se angustia, arremete, crea... El subdesarrollo conlleva también el despojo de la palabra, de ahí nuestra lid para que ella fluya cual torrente libre, cargada de poder; y que pletórica de esperanza abra cauces en la búsqueda de nuevos tiempos y nuevos espacios - ahora muy nuestros.
This is a source book to help students and teachers to prepare for the history syllabus of the new Caribbean Examinations Council. The new history syllabus is not simply a list of topics to be studied. It provides objectives for the way history should be studied, as well as indicating the content of Caribbean history for the new 'O' level examination.
"En noviembre de 1924, aparece en Bogotá La vorágine, novela colombiana que de inmediato ganó una remarcable reputación, por el contenido y creatividad con que el autor José Eustasio Rivera, hace llegar al lector los acontecimientos narrados en la obra. Esta, a la cual me referiré tomando algunos aspectos fundamentales a su estructura, unidad de tiempo, contenido, carácter social y rol histórico, es a mi juicio, una expresión vigente en la creatividad literaria de hoy y que puede ser resumida como el Macondo colombiano de 1924."
La vorágine: Valor histórico y estructura conceptual
Elías Letelier
Durante quince años fue contador del Consejo de Castilla y en 1543 fue nombrado contador de mercedes para el Virreinato del Perú y Tierra Firme. Llegó a América, al Virreinato del Perú, en 1544 en la expedición del primer virrey, Blasco Núñez de Vela. Estando en este puesto la Audiencia de Lima le nombró como negociador entre los encomenderos, que estaban al mando de Gonzalo Pizarro y el virrey. En plenas negociaciones fue apresado por Gonzalo Pizarro.
In 1543 Charles V sent Agustín de Zárate (b. 1514) to Perú along with Blasco Nüñez Vela, the first viceroy, to oversee finances. In 1545 Zárate returned to Spain with a collection of personal notes and other documents about the civil war. His history, divided into seven chapters, begins with the Spanish discovery of Perú and ends with the death of Gonzalo Pizarro and the restoration of royal authority by Governor Pedro de la Gasca. Aware of the dangers involved in writing about such recent and controversial matters, Zárate expressed a reluctance to publish his history during his lifetime, but a manuscript copy of it was read by Prince Phillip, the future King Philip II of Spain, who liked it so much that he ordered its publication. Zárate’s Historia was well received, and in 1577 it was reprinted in Seville. An Italian translation published in 1563 and an English translation published in 1581 are proof of its quick popularity outside of Spain.
Here, graphically written and illustrated , is the perfect travel book. Wai-Wai is the first account of genuine exploration in a region which is almost unknown. For centuries, strange stories have come to us from the basin of the Amazon - of White Indians, of human beings living like otters in underwater caves, of the lost city of Kashima, and of female warriors. Nicholas Guppy penetrated the upper waters of the Rio Alto Trombetas to bring back this report. The result is all at once scientific discovery and magnificent adventure. 'Gives a fascinating account both of this still unspoiled Indian tribe and of the unique untouched rain-forests of the Guiana-Brazil border....' Dr. Julian Huxley.

Publicado originalmente en Inglés en 1953, este libro es una presentación de la ideología aprista, ideología con la cual se identifica el autor. Este ordena por tópicos las ideas fundamentales que constituyen el cuerpo ideológico del APRA, sin detenerse en un análisis de ellas, ni de la evolución histórica, la organización y la práctica política aprista. El libro contiene una extensa bibliografía sobre el APRA, escritos por apristas y otros observadores de la época.
Este hermoso libro, revestido de todos los atractivos de una interesante novela, envuelve un propósito serio y elevado. Poniendo frente a frente la vida política, social y doméstica de los Estados-Unidos y la de la Francia, nos hace asistir al curioso espectáculo que presenta un parangón animado e injenioso entre las ideas y costumbres americanas y las ideas y costumbres francesas. Por este medio nos permite sorprender el secreto de la grandeza y prosperidad de la patria de Washington, y el oríjen de los males que aquejan a la moderna Atenas, a la tierra de Voltaire y de Luis XIV.
Édouard René Lefebvre de Laboulaye, conocido en los países de habla hispana como Eduardo Laboulaye, nacido el 18 de enero de 1811 en París donde murió el 25 de mayo de 1883, fue un jurista y político francés. Fue diputado y posteriormente senador permanente de la Tercera república francesa. Es conocido por ser el inspirador de la idea de ofrecer una estatua que representara la «Libertad» a los Estados Unidos: la Estatua de la Libertad.
An archaeological anthropologist and linguist, John Alden Mason spent the majority of his career at the University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania. After receiving his undergraduate degree at Penn in 1907, Mason received a doctorate at Berkeley (1911) for his ethnographic work on the Salinan Indians of California, but his diverse interests in later years ran the gamut from Puerto Rican folklore to Piman languages and cultures (including Pima, Papago, Pima Bajo, Northern and Southern Tepehuan, and Tepecano), Mayan, Aztec, and Incan archaeology, and the languages of South American Indians. Mason was curator of the University Museum at Penn from 1926 until his retirement in 1958.

D.G. Hall, E.V. Goveia & F.R. Augier - We are engaged in the writing and editing of a history of the Caribbean. In this work, we hope to achieve a regional approach, as far as the diverse histories of the various territories permit, and we believe that the work can greatly stimulate research and teaching throughout the area. Rather than hold contributions until the entire History has been assembled, we have decided to publish accepted contributions in this series as they appear. Many of the Chapters will be contributed by scholars abroad. At the end of the book, following the index, will be found a draft outline of the contents of the History. An asterisk marks those titles which are already published.
Eight of the ten papers in this book were originally prepared for the Third Caribbean Colloquium organized by the Universities of Surrey and Sussex in cooperation with the Department of Caribbean Studies of the Royal Institute of Linguistics and Anthropology. The title for the book also comes from that meeting, which took place in Leiden in December, 1977.

1918 - 1938, the period examined by Carnegie's book, is of considerable interest to students both of modern Jamaican politics and of the development of our people's struggle against colonialism. It was perhaps the last time that different wings of the local ruling class fought openly among themselves on political and economic questions such as, for example, whether the banana industry should be dominated primarily by national capitalism or American imperialism. It was the period too when the leaders of the emergent black middle class thoroughly wedded themselves to the precepts and practices of British parliamentarism in the Crown Colony Legislature and the Parochial Boards of the day. Most importantly, these were the years that the anti-colonial struggle, gradually at first, then in a revolutionary outburst, changed its character and moved into a new stage. ...
