París en América [Novel]

de Laboulaye, Édouard René Lefebvre: París en América, Edición española, traducida por Augusto Lacort, ilustrada por A. Figuer, Barcelona: Valentín Acha, s.f.

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.

Editorial note:

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.

Some Aspects of Jamaica's Politics 1918 - 1938

Carnegie, James, Some Aspects of Jamaica's Politics 1918 - 1938, Kingston: Institute of Jamaica, 1973. (hardcover)

From the Preface, by Trevor Munroe:

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. ...

International Journal review


Extract from the author's foreword:

Brazil: The Land and People reviews the evolution of the society and economy of Portuguese America since 1500. Approximately one half of the volume is devoted to the colonial period, with emphasis on trends of continuing importance and on developments that helped to shape the Brazilian mentality. The discussion of the national period focuses on the decades since about 1870. The first chapter describes the physical and cultural regions of the half-continent. Subsequent chapters deal with patterns of exploration and settlement, the successive cycles of the plantation and mining economies, the Africans and Europeans who peopled the land, the introduction and development of manufacturing industries, and the impact of the industrial economy on the number, distribution, and aspirations of the Brazilian people. A political chronology and statistical tables are provided for reference. The annotated bibliography is designed as a guide to further study.

De Wikipedia:

Francisco de Vitoria O.P. (Burgos o Vitoria, España; 1483/1486 - Salamanca, España; 12 de agosto de 1546) fue un fraile dominico español. La fecha y el lugar de nacimiento son discutidos por diversas fuentes. (...) La dignidad y los problemas morales de la condición humana fue el eje en torno al que se desarrolló su obra. Fue especialmente influyente por sus aportaciones jurídicas, aunque también tuvieron gran repercusión sus estudios sobre teología y sobre aspectos morales de la economía. No escribió personalmente todas sus obras, sino que nos han llegado recogidas por sus alumnos o por secretarios a partir de sus lecciones y relecciones (repeticiones que resumían al final del curso las lecciones del año). Sus enseñanzas y métodos pedagógicos dieron su fruto en forma de numerosos teólogos, juristas y universitarios a los que bien enseñó directamente o bien se vieron influidos por sus teorías (Melchor Cano, Domingo Báñez, Domingo de Soto, Francisco Suárez, etc), formando la llamada Escuela de Salamanca.

Mexico Before The World

Hammond Murray, Robert (translator and editor), Mexico Before The World: Public Documents and Addresses of Plutarco Elias Calles, New York: The Academy Press, 1927. Paperback, [Condition: very fragile]

Google books

From the book's Foreword:

This compilation of a portion of the public documents and addresses of President Calles has been made with the object of providing an adequate and a convenient reference source for the benefit of those who seek authoritative information upon the man and his work and upon topics relevant to the present state of governmental, social, economic and kindred conditions in Mexico. It constitutes a presentation and a record of the official and personal aspirations of the President and also of the government and the masses of Mexico upon national necessities and problems, and especially in matters which concern Mexico's international relations. In this book answers will be found to virtually all of the questions upon which illumination may be desired by persons who are interested in knowing what is being done in Mexico and why, and in the development of President Calles programme of reform and reconstruction. New York, December, 1927.

The following was written by the Argentine author José Ingenieros, after visiting Mexico, in 1925:

President Plutarco Elias Calles, who at present is directing the destinies of the Mexican people, is an exceptional states man, a notable personality in every way, a man worthy of the admiration of cultivated intellects Educated in modern socialistic ideas and conscious of the destinies of his country, General Calles is establishing a government of reparation and justice and leading Mexico along proper lines in the direction of social re forms. Hence he is supported by millions of workmen and tillers of the soil who rep resent the vital forces of the country. Few elements in Mexico are in opposition to his great and fruitful programme of national reconstruction, which should serve as an example to all the nations of America.

Del Prólogo:

El móvil primario en la vida del hombre es la satisfacción de sus necesidades elementales. De allí la importancia de estudiar, primero, los medios de que se vale para la transformación de los elementos naturales que tiene en su habitat en productos utilitarios o de consumo, y segundo, el intercambio que desarrolla con otros grupos que poseen los artículos o materias primas que le hacen falta. El presente estudio, aunque no pretende ser exhaustivo del tema, ha tratado de presentar un cuadro general y claro de la segunda parte señalada anteriormente, es decir, del intercambio o actividad comercial desarrollada por un grupo humano, el Maya, que forjara una de las culturas más brillantes de América.

Mexico: The Struggle for Modernity

Cumberland, Charles C. Mexico: The Struggle for Modernity, London: Oxford University Press, 1968. [paperback]

From the author's preface:

Between 1940 and 1960, phenomenal change took place in Mexico, but it came only after an earlier revolution remarkable as much for its violence as for its program. The costs of that conflagration - in lives, in property, in trauma - cannot be calculated, nor can the stimuli for the destruction be fixed with precision. But revolutions of such ferocity are spawned by deep seated ills, not in passing fancies. This book is an attempt to clarify and to explain the social and economic issues which gave the Mexican Revolution such a distinctive stamp, and to account for the direction and the nature of the change. It is an attempt to view nearly half a millennium of Mexican history through the eyes of those who suffered from inequality and who finally exploded with incredible violence.

Is the Mexican Revolution Dead?

Ross, Stanley R., Editor, Is the Mexican Revolution Dead?, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1966. (paperback)

Hispanic American Historical Review

Extract about Stanley R. Ross:

Stanley Ross's research took him through the full sweep of Mexico's modern history, from that nation's late nineteenth century search for modernization and nationhood through the Revolution of 1910 to the consolidation of the revolution by the one-party state. Perhaps Ross's greatest contribution to Mexican historiography is his political biography entitled Francisco I. Madero, Apostle of Mexican Democracy... Following the publication of the book on Madero, Stanley Ross focused his scholarship on collective historiography. ... Ross's most influential collaboration across borders has to be his edited volume called Is the Mexican Revolution Dead? (first published in 1966 by Alfred A. Knopf). This book ultimately was published in two English language editions, two Spanish editions, and in a Japanese translation. It became one of the best-selling "Borzoi Books on Latin America" issued by Knopf. Ross's edited volume achieved widespread readership as an assigned text in many undergraduate courses on Mexican history and politics, and the United States Information Service distributed many copies of the Spanish version of the book from U.S. embassies throughout Latin America. ... The book is remarkable for bringing together the opinions of some of the most successful politicians and intellectuals of contemporary Mexico. Among the politicians were ex-presidents Miguel Alemán, Adolfo López Mateos, Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, and Luis Echeverría; party leader Jesús Reyes Heroles; revolutionary intellectuals Luis Cabrera, Jesús Silva Herzog, Antonio Díaz Soto y Gama, and Heriberto Jara; and labor leader Vicente Lombardo Toledano. Some of Mexico's greatest scholars also participated. They include Daniel Cosío Villegas, Leopoldo Zea, Moisés González Navarro, and Pablo González Casanova. North American scholarship was represented by such pioneer "Mexicanists" as Frank Brandenberg, Frank Tannenbaum, and Howard F. Cline.

Some reviewers scoffed at this edited volume for serving as the official party's view of the Mexican Revolution, which held that the Partido Revolución Institucionalista (PRI) had properly carried out the revolutionary ideals of social reforms and national economic development. However, even Ross himself demurred from this view, offering in his introduction his own viewpoint that the PRI-dominated government of the 1960s had ended the reforms in the interests of political control and the national bourgeoisie. Whatever the shortcomings of this influential volume, it did collect the varying and competing opinions of prominent Mexicans and North Americans into one volume. Ross had accomplished a major feat of cross-border collaboration, from which a whole generation of students and scholars benefited. It would not be going too far afield to assert that this was one of the seminal volumes in precipitating what would eventually become a high tide of revisionist critique, in which the PRI, for all its undoubted accomplishments, would be exposed increasingly for its strong-arm political tactics, its pervasive venality, and its artistry in constructing a self-serving version of Mexican history.

Sherlock, Philip, West Indian Folk-tales retold by Philip Sherlock, illustrated by Joan Kiddell-Monroe, Oxford: Oxford University Press in Oxford, 1966.

Author's note:

The true tiger is not found in West Africa. It is likely, as the artist has indicated, that the tiger of the Anansi stories is a leopard. In her introduction to Walter Jeckyll's Jamaican Song and Story, Alice Werner wrote in 1907: 'All over South Africa, leopards are called "tigers" by Dutch, English, and Germans, just as hyenas are called "wolves" , and bustards "peacocks" ... "Tiger" is used in the same sense in German Kamerun, and probably elsewhere in West Africa.'

Nettleford, Rex, Mirror, Mirror; Identity, Race, and Protest in Jamaica, 1st ed., Kingston (Jamaica): W. Collins and Sangster, 1970, 256 p. 22 cm.

From the author's preface:

The decade of the nineteen sixties will probably be in time recorded as one of the most troublous periods of Jamaica's contemporary history. The essays in this volume are some reflections on the times. They are not exhaustive of the anxiety, uncertainties or self-doubt that mark the decade, but they seek to record and interpret certain important aspects of the young nation's major dilemma mirrored in the trinity of identity, race and protest.

Professor Rex Nettleford

obituary:

Professor Rex Nettleford was an academic, writer, dancer, manager, orator, mentor, cultural activist, historian and social and political critic. Sometimes described as the “quintessential Caribbean man”, his contribution to the academic, cultural and political development of his native Jamaica and the Caribbean region was considerable. He was Vice-Chancellor Emeritus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) and founder and artistic director of the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica. He was seen also as the voice of ordinary people, particularly the poor. His own life showed how far a boy from rural Jamaica could go with determination, resilience and “smadification” — a term used of an outsider with character who is accepted socially.
