Duarte

Resumen del Libro

Libro Duarte

Mexican Army veteran Andres Duarte was granted 6,595 acres along the southern foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in 1841 by the governor of Alta California. Rancho Azusa de Duarte eventually was carved into 40-acre parcels, and arriving families from the East and Midwest built schools, installed water lines, and grew crops. By 1900, two major rail lines served the area's thriving citrus industry. Duarte's beneficial climate led to the establishment in 1913 of a tuberculosis sanitarium, which became City of Hope, the world-class cancer treatment center. Bandleader Glenn Miller settled in Duarte. The city's location along old U.S. Route 66 brought many visitors to and through town. A strongly independent civic spirit led to a momentous 1987 U. S. Supreme Court decision to disallow the expulsion of the Duarte Rotary from Rotary International for admitting three women. As for Andres Duarte, he is commemorated by a 2007 bronze equestrian statue, located across Huntington Drive from the city hall that bears his name.

Historia Verdadera de la Conquista de la Nueva España

Libro Historia Verdadera de la Conquista de la Nueva España

Bernal Díaz del Castillo (1492-1584) was a foot soldier in the army of Mexico's conqueror Hernán Cortés. The first edition of his True History of the Conquest of New Spain (as it was entitled in a later English translation) was published in Madrid in 1632 from a manuscript copy sent to Spain shortly after the author's death. Written in a highly accessible style, and describing the experiences of the troops themselves rather than seeing events from an officer's perspective, the work became even more successful than the official accounts and went through many editions and translations. The...

La Sociedad de Castas

Libro La Sociedad de Castas

"India es conocida por haber desarrollado un sistema de estratificación social único en el mundo: la sociedad de castas. No existe otro aspecto sobre el Sur de Asia que despierte opiniones y emociones tan encontradas. Pero, a pesar de la importancia y lo controvertido del asunto, apenas existen textos en lengua española que aborden con seriedad la cuestión. Tras muchos años de investigación, Agustín Pániker nos sumerge en el complejo universo que acompaña a la casta: sus oscuros orígenes; su engranaje en la religión, el ritual y la ideología brahmánica; sus vínculos con el poder ...
