Paperback. Condición: Good. Alternative Narratives and Sequels enriches the reader's understanding of and appreciation for Cabeza de Vaca's chronicle, which can be read both as historical record and as fiction (Cabeza de Vaca having written his account years after the events took place). Gonzalo Fern ndez de Oviedo y Vald z's General and Natural History of the Indies (1535) provides a different account of the same journey, while sequels can be found in a 1539 letter from the Viceroy of New Spain to the Emperor and in Fray Marcos de Niza's Relaci n on the Discovery of the Kingdom of Cibola (1539).The Spanish explorers, soldiers, and missionaries of the period saw the New World as a place of enchantment, riches, and opportunity. This spirit is captured in Contexts with documents including a 1493 letter from Christopher Columbus to a potential benefactor of his future travels; Hern n Cort s's 1520 letter from Mexico; and an excerpt from Fray Bartolom 's Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies (1542). A selection from Miguel Le n Portilla's Broken Spears provides readers with the viewpoint of the vanquished.Criticism includes five major assessments of Chronicle of the Narv ez Expedition spanning eighty years. Contributors include Morris Bishop, Rolena Adorno and Patrick Charles Pautz, Paul Schneider, Andr s Res ndez, and Beatriz Rivera-Barnes.A Chronology, Selected Bibliography, and Index are also included.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. "A hard and unnerving look at how changing demographics will forever alter our country's dialogue on race." -- San Jose Mercury News As Latino and African Americans increasingly live side by side in large urban centers, as well as in suburban clusters, the idealized concept of a "Rainbow Coalition" would suggest that these two disenfranchised groups are natural political allies. Indeed, as the number of Latinos has increased dramatically over the last ten years, competition over power and resources between these two groups has led to surprisingly antagonistic and uncooperative interactions. Many African Americans now view Latinos, because of their growth in numbers, as a threat to their social, economic, and political gains. Nicolas C. Vaca debunks the myth of "The Great Union" and offers the hope he believes each community could learn from, in order to achieve a mutually agreed upon agenda. More than simply unveiling the problem, The Presumed Alliance offers optimistic solutions to the future relations between Latino and Black America.…
