    Clendinnen: Book Review of Ambivalent Conquests

    Inga Clendinnen book, Ambivalent Conquests: Maya and Spaniard in Yucatan, 1517-1570 is centered on the Spanish incursion of the Yucatan Peninsula, affects on Mayan civilization, and the Spanish struggles in controlling these people. In the beginning, Clendinnen focus here attention on the initial attempts and then eventual success of the Spaniards to solidify themselves within the Yucatan Peninsula. She goes into a detailed backdrop of why many Spaniards were financially forced to look for new lands and peoples to conquer, how they came into the Yucatan, and then eventually their initial disappointment and failure. However, the Mayan victory was short lived as strict determination and new idea's to make profit off resources in this region aside from gold pushed the Spaniards to a point of no return within the Yucatan Peninsula and the eventual Mayan defeat. Secondly, Clendinnen touches on the changing ways of life amongst the native societies due to their new Spanish masters. She focuses more on Mayan changes and the forced acculturation to the Spanish ways of life. Furthermore, she comments on Spanish struggles to utilize commercial opportunities due to the poor agricultural, unsuitable grazing land, lack of labor, and the eventual collapse of the encomienda system. Lastly, Clendinnen touches on the divine front, mentioning the friars initially trying to psychologically discern Mayan behavior and sequences to pinpoint the reasoning's behind Mayan beliefs.

    Colonial Latin America Chapter 13 Analysis

    This mantra would initially lead a small band of six Jesuits to the shores of Salvador on the Bay of All Saints in 1549 alongside the first Portuguese Governor of Brazil. In the Colonial Latin America: A Documentary History, the focus of Chapter 13 is a series of letters that documents the struggles that the Jesuits faced in converting Tupi Indians to Catholicism. Also the chapter highlights the controversy of unorthodox practices that are used for conversion in Colonial Latin America, and the questionable means used to sustain a Jesuit Society and Catholic infrastructures, both physically and spiritually,. From the surface controversy can be attributed to the Jesuits pushing against the Eurocentric ideas of what conversion practices should be like in Colonial Latin America in comparison to conversion practices on the Iberian Peninsula. However, the Jesuits were not opposing the way that the Catholic Church functioned on the Iberian Peninsula, instead the Jesuits were having to adapt by necessity to the environment, culture and practices in Colonial Latin America and specifically in…

    How Did Spain Influence The New World

    Spain’s colonial presence lasted more than three centuries, which was much longer than England’s or France’s. New Spain centered in Mexico, but its frontier outposts extended all the way from Florida to Alaska. Hispanic place-names – like San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Fe, San Anttonio, Pensacola, and St. Augustine – survive to this day, along with Hispanic influences in art, architecture, literature, music, law, and…

    George Reid Andrews Afro Latin America

    It is one of the best anthropological accounts of this region. The style is gripping with detailed statement of experiences, of the people of African origin in the former colonies of Spain and Portugal and the stamp of their influence on these parts on all walks of life – society, economics and culture. While the history of the Blacks is well researched and ably presented in USA, it is not so with Latin America where there is still an air of mystery and vacuum. It is ironical that it should be so considering the fact that it has the highest number of Africans residing here outside the African continent (Fagundes 68-78).…

    prehistoric civilization in the philippine

    WHEN a powerful and highly civilised nation comes in contact with a barbaric and isolated people, who have nevertheless advanced many steps on the road of progress, it would naturally be thought that the superior and conquering race would endeavour to collect and place on record information concerning such people: their manners, customs, language, religion, and traditions. Unfortunately, in the case of the Spanish conquests of the sixteenth century, that nation appears never to have considered it a duty to hand down to posterity any detailed description of the singularly interesting races they had vanquished. As it was with the Guanches of the Canaries, the Aztecs of Mexico, and the Quichuas of Peru, so was it with the Chamorro of the Ladrones, and the Tagalo-Bisaya tribes of the Philippines. The same Vandal spirit that prompted the conquistadores to destroy the Maya and Aztec literature also moved them to demolish the written records of the Philippine natives, and but few attempts were made to preserve relics or information concerning them. The Spanish priests, as the lettered men of those times, were the persons we should look to for such a work, but in their religious ardour they thought only of the subjugation and conversion of the natives, and so, with the sword in one hand, and crucifix in the other, they marched through that fair land, ignoring and destroying the evidences of a strange semi-civilisation which should have been to them a study of the deepest interest. Fortunately, however, there were a few in that period who were interested in such matters, and who wrote accounts of the state of culture of the islanders of that early date. Some of these MSS. have been preserved in the archives of Manila, and have lately attracted the attention of Spanish scholars.…
