La expulsión de los judíos

Resumen del Libro

Traces the history of the Jews in Spain until the expulsion in 1492 in regard to relations between the Crown, the Church, and the populace regarding the Jews and Conversos. Discusses, also, the fate of the Conversos during the 16th century. Focuses on Castile, with special attention to the city of Ávila. Asserts that anti-Jewish hostility in Spain, already from the time of the Visigoths, was not based on racism, but rather on negative religious stereotypes rooted in the minds of the populace and of the lower clergy, as well as on socioeconomic factors, such as the rise of Jews to dominant positions in Spanish society and politics, and the practice of usury by rich Jews which awoke a profound hatred among Christians, especially in times of crisis. The fortune of the Jews depended on a balance between the hatred of the populace and incitement of the lower clergy, on the one hand, and the protection of the Crown on the other. So long as the Crown imposed its policy of protection, the situation of the Jews was good, but from the beginning of the 14th century onwards, when the hostility of the populace and of the Church grew stronger, and their pressure on the Crown achieved a degree of success, the situation of the Jews deteriorated, reaching extremes such as the pogrom of 1391. The 15th century saw a progressive capitulation of the Crown to the pressure of the populace and the Church. The establishment of the Inquisition in 1478, and the enactment of the edict of Expulsion of 1492, marked the end of the confrontation between the Crown, the Church, and the populace regarding the Jews and Conversos, which facilitated the expansion of Spain as a unified nation.

El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro

El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the Royal Road of the Interior, is the earliest Euro-American trade route of cultures and commerce in the United States. It spanned about 1,800 miles from Mexico City, where the road originated, to Santa Fe, in New Mexico. For three centuries, this Spanish colonial road followed a network of ancient Native American footpaths and trails that followed the wide expanse of the Rio Grande valley. There were parajes, or campgrounds, along the way for travelers, and early Spanish settlements were established too. Some of the towns and villages are now modern cities, ...

Cortar una espiga más

Entre finales de 1821 e inicios de 1828, Costa Rica pasó de la incertidumbre que suponía esperar a que se aclararan "los nublados del día" a la expectativa de que, en un futuro cercano, se podría cortar "cada día una espiga más" y llorar "una lágrima menos". Al explorar cómo se transitó de lo primero a lo segundo, el historiador Iván Molina Jiménez emprende un viaje fascinante, por territorios muy poco conocidos de la época de la independencia. Desde sus primeras páginas, el presente libro se aparta de las rutas convencionales para abordar temas tan novedosos como...

Rómulo Betancourt

Rómulo Betancourt es el único líder político venezolano por el que siempre he sentido ferviente admiración. Y a medida que conozco más sobre su vida y obra esa admiración se ha convertido en veneración, porque gobernó a Venezuela en situación crítica y supo superar todos los escollos que encontró en su camino para superarla, tomando algunas veces decisiones antipáticas, como la reducción del sueldo del funcionariado a los fines de sanear la económica, que encontró en la bancarrota, pero que gracias a esa medida, complementadas con otras que consideró adecuadas para devolverle ...
