Judíos conversos: Los marranos y la economía en el Río de la Plata

Resumen del Libro

Vol. I traces Jewish influence in colonial Argentina, and Jewish origins of many of the most illustrious Argentinian families. Pt. A (pp. 15-46), "España-Portugal-Brasil: La aparición del judío portugués", describes the expulsion from Spain, the forced conversion of the Jews in Portugal (1497), the ordeal of the Conversos at the hands of the Portuguese Inquisition (1536-1821), and the massive emigration, and sometimes deportation, of Conversos to Brazil. Pt. B (pp. 49-263) analyzes the Jewish presence in the Spanish Río de la Plata where Portuguese Conversos sought refuge from 1580, especially after persecutions in Brazil (1618-54). Describes the surveillance and accusations of Judaizing (e.g. the León Pinelo family, 1594), pressure for the creation of a local Inquisition, and various attempts to expel "Portuguese" from Buenos Aires (1606, 1705). Outlines the Converso contribution to colonial society as doctors, teachers, musicians, and merchants. The status "suspected of Judaizing" ended only with Argentinian independence (1816-24). Vol. II surveys the Portuguese Converso community in Argentina, recalling a long series of discriminations, denunciations to the Inquisition, and expulsions. Quotes from official Spanish documents. Both volumes contain genealogical trees of prominent Argentinians with Jewish antecedents.

Pedro de Angelis y los orígenes de la bibliografía argentina

"Brilliant examination of the Italian bibliographer who lent his considerable talents to the Rosas regime in the mid 1800s. Though de Angelis might have had questionable politics, his contribution to Latin American scholarship was tremendous; he assembled and organized a vitally important collection of books, maps, documents, and pamphlets on the early history of the Plata still used today. Sabor's prize-winning study is part biography, part bibliographical essay, and wholly erudite. Recommended"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

La izquierda peronista

"The Peronist left arose in reaction to attempts to supress the movement. Ironically, its great victory, in forcing the military to accept Perón's return to power, also led to its demise. Legitimated by elections, Perón isolated and attacked his young supporters. A familiar story, but well told and documented"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

Esta obra de Felipe Pigna rastrea procesos para entender la sociedad de hace 200 años y los combates que iniciaron el fin del régimen colonial en Latinoamérica. La larga tradición de resistencia a la dominación, emprendida por los pueblos originarios desde el inicio mismo de la conquista; las penurias y luchas de los esclavos por su liberación; las complejas relaciones entre las clases y los sectores sociales del régimen colonial; la influencia de las revoluciones en América y Europa y las causas internas y externas de la crisis de la sociedad colonial integran este estudio.
