Book Overview

Casi 300 a?os de historia se asoman en este original y divertido libro ilustrado que recupera los viajes, lugares, oficios, costumbres y personajes que configuraron el asombroso universo novohispano.

Nueva Espa?a era un territorio gigantesco, comprend?a de lo que ahora es el sur de Estados Unidos hasta Nicaragua. Millones de kil?metros cuadrados. Una vast?sima regi?n en la que conviv?an, no siempre armoniosamente, ind?genas, negros, mulatos, mestizos, asi?ticos, espa?oles y uno que otro flamenco, portugu?s e ingl?s. Eran piratas, monjas, caciques, virreinas, esclavos y bur?cratas los que andaban por calles, plazas, y sorteaban los peligros de trasladarse entre pueblos, ciudades y oc?anos...

Contrario a las aburridas lecciones escolares sobre la ?poca virreinal, lejos de los h?roes y villanos de monograf?a, estas p?ginas nos recuerdan que, entre la llegada de Cort?s y la Independencia proclamada por Miguel Hidalgo, existi? un mundo complejo y contrastante que apenas se mantuvo en precario equilibrio.

Escrito por la reconocida historiadora y escritora, ?rsula Camba Ludlow, Ecos de Nueva Espa?a es una apasionante y colorida traves?a por los siglos que moldearon nuestro tiempo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Almost 300 years of history are covered in this original, fun illustrated book featuring the trips, places, trades, customs, and characters that shaped the amazing universe of New Spain.

New Spain was a colossal territory, expanding from what is now the southern United States to Nicaragua. It was a vast region in which indigenous people, Africans, mestizos, Asians, Spaniards, and the occasional Flemish, Portuguese, and English lived together, although not always harmoniously. Pirates, nuns, caciques, viceroys, slaves, and bureaucrats walked through the same streets and squares, and faced the perils of moving across towns, cities and oceans.

Stepping away from the tedious heroes-and-villains school lectures on the colonial era, this book reminds us that, after the arrival of Cort?s in Yucat?n and before Miguel Hidalgo's declaration of the Mexican Independence, a complex and contrasting world was built and maintained in a delicate, fragile balance.

Written by the renowned historian and writer ?rsula Camba Ludlow, Echoes of the New Spain is an exciting and vibrant journey through the centuries that shaped our present.
