Indians and Mestizos in the Lettered City Reshaping Justice, Social Hierarchy, and Political Culture in Colonial Peru

Indians and Mestizos in the Lettered City Reshaping Justice, Social Hierarchy, and Political Culture in Colonial Peru
Indians and Mestizos in the "Lettered City": Reshaping Justice, Social Hierarchy, and Political Culture in Colonial Peru By Alcira Duenas
2010 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1607320185 | PDF | 4 MB
Through newly unearthed texts virtually unknown in Andean studies, Indians and Mestizos in the "Lettered City" highlights the Andean intellectual tradition of writing in their long-term struggle for social empowerment and questions the previous understanding of the "lettered city" as a privileged space populated solely by colonial elites. Rarely acknowledged in studies of resistance to colonial rule, these writings challenged colonial hierarchies and ethnic discrimination in attempts to redefine the Andean role in colonial society.Scholars have long assumed that Spanish rule remained largely undisputed in Peru between the 1570s and 1780s, but educated elite Indians and mestizos challenged the legitimacy of Spanish rule, criticized colonial injustice and exclusion, and articulated the ideas that would later be embraced in the Great Rebellion in 1781. Their movement extended across the Atlantic as the scholars visited the seat of the Spanish empire to negotiate with the king and his advisors for social reform, lobbied diverse networks of supporters in Madrid and Peru, and struggled for admission to religious orders, schools and universities, and positions in ecclesiastic and civil administration.Indians and Mestizos in the "Lettered City" explores how scholars contributed to social change and transformation of colonial culture through legal, cultural, and political activism, and how, ultimately, their significant colonial critiques and campaigns redefined colonial public life and discourse. It will be of interest to scholars and students of colonial history, colonial literature, Hispanic studies, and Latin American studies.

English | ISBN: 9387146588 | 2018 | 152 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
A stereotype image of Nara Chandrababu Naidu has been formed in the last 40 years. His story is remarkable at every level. But often questions, which is the important story? The one where he evolves into one of the extraordinary leaders in Indian politics over four decades? Or that of an ordinary man from a farming family who worked his way to the top by keeping his family and political party together? That which reflects his political acumen, intellect, and hardwork? Or the one that unveils the person who introduced Andhra Pradesh to India? This book attempts to show how Naidu has been a quintessential survivor in Indian politics.

1996 | 283 Pages | ISBN: 0804725063 | PDF | 7 MB
This is the first complete translation into a Western language of Sou-shen Chi, a fourth-century collection of 464 extraordinary, fantastic and bizarre anecdotes and narratives. Sou-shen Chi, is the oldest, richest, and most consulted example of the chih-kuai genre, an important division of classical Chinese literature demonstrating features of narrative technique and authorial sensibility that point to chih-kuai as the earliest examples of Chinese fiction. Of the three surviving versions of Sou-shen Chi, the twenty-chapter edition translated here is widely accepted as the best representation of the work of its compiler, Kan Pao, the official court historian for Emperor Yuan of the Chin dynasty. Sou-shen Chi served as a model for subsequent collections and provided many basic Descriptions, characters, and situations for plays, novels, and even poetry for future generations.

Imperial Inequalities The politics of economic governance across European empires

Imperial Inequalities The politics of economic governance across European empires
Gurminder Bhambra, "Imperial Inequalities: The politics of economic governance across European empires "
English | ISBN: 1526166143 | 2022 | 352 pages | PDF | 22 MB
Imperial Inequalities takes Western European empires and their legacies as the explicit starting point for discussion of issues of taxation and welfare. In doing so, it addresses the institutional and fiscal processes involved in modes of extraction, taxation, and the hierarchies of welfare distribution across Europe's global empires. The idea of 'imperial inequalities' provides a conceptual frame for thinking about the long-standing colonial histories that are responsible, at least in part, for the shape of present inequalities.
