James Stokely Carmichael - the roster of immigrants from the Carribean who have made a profound impact on the development of radical politics in the United States is extensive. In this magisterial and lavishly illustrated work Winston James focuses on the twentieth century's first waves of migrants from the Caribbean and their contribution to political dissidence in America. Examining how the characteristics of the societies they left shaped their perceptions of the land to which they traveled James draws sharp distinctions between Hispanic Anglophone and other non-Hispanic arrivals. He explores the interconnections between the Cuban independence struggle Puerto Rican nationalism Afro-American feminism and black communism in the first turbulent decades of the twentieth century. He also provides fascinating insights into the peculiarities of Puerto Rican radicalism's impact in New York City and recounts the remarkable story of Afro-Cuban radicalism in Florida."

‎[CUBA/SAINT-DOMINGUE/FLORIDE] Insularum Hispaniolæ et Cubæ cum insulis circum jacentibus accurata delineatio.‎

‎[Amsterdam, 1657]. 412 x 533 mm.‎

‎Superbe carte figurant Cuba, Saint-Domingue, les Bahamas, la Jamaïque et la pointe de la Floride, issue de l'édition française du rare atlas maritime appartenant au Nouvel Atlas ou Théâtre du Monde de Jansson. Elle a été dressée d'après la très rare carte de Hessel Gerritsz publiée vers 1631. C'est l'une des premières cartes hollandaises à représenter la région à cette échelle, pour démontrer l'intérêt du canal des Bahamas par lequel passaient l'or et l'argent venant des Amériques. La carte de Jansson se démarque également par la représentation de chaînes de montagnes, qui n'avaient plus figuré dans cette région depuis les cartes de de Bry vers 1590. Elle est ornée de quatre vaisseaux, de deux roses des vents, d'un cartouche contenant l'échelle et d'un cartouche de titre décoré de deux personnages. Verso blanc. Premier état. Partie basse des marges gauche et droite refaites. Koeman, 9610:1B ; Burden, 291.‎

‎Mission of Sorrows: Jesuit Guevavi and the Pimas 1691-1767‎

‎Tucson AZ: University of Arizona Press 1970. First Edition. Cloth. Near fine/fine. A near fine first edition in a fine unclipped dust jacket. Brown cloth boards front top corner bumped. Gilt title stamping. Mission map end papers. From the private library of Larry Southwick collector's marginalia pencilled at inner edge of half title. xvi 224 pp. including index. Quarto 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches tall. The Mission of Guevavi on the Santa Cruz River in what is now southern Arizona served as a focal point of Jesuit missionary endeavor among the Pima Indians on New Spain's far northwestern frontier. For three-quarters of a century from the first visit by the renowned Eusebio Francisco Kino in 1691 until the Jesuit Expulsion in 1767 the difficult process of replacing one culture with another�the heart of the Spanish mission system�went on at Guevavi. Yet all but the initial years presided over by Father Kino have been forgotten. Drawing upon archival materials in Mexico Spain and the United States�including accounts by the missionaries themselves and the surviving pages of the Guevavi record books�Kessell brings to life those forgotten years and forgotten men who struggled to transform a native rancher�a into an ordered mission community. Of the eleven Black Robes who resided at Guevavi between 1701 and 1767 only a few are well known to history. Others�such as Joseph Garrucho who presided more years at Guevavi than any other Padre; Alexandro Rapicani son of a favorite of Sweden's Queen Christina; Custodio Zimeno Guevavi's last Jesuit�have the details of their roles filled in here for the first time. In this in-depth study of a single missionary center Kessell describes in detail the daily round of the Padres in their activities as missionaries educators governors and intercessors among the often-indifferent and occasionally hostile Pimas. He discusses the Pima uprising of 1751 and the events that led up to it concluding that it actually continued sporadically for some ten years. The growing ferocity of the Apache the disastrous results of certain government policies�especially the removal of the Soba�puri Indians from the San Pedro Valley�and the declining native population due to a combination of enforced culture change and epidemics of European diseases are also carefully explored. The story of Guevavi is one of continuing adversity and triumph. It is the story finally of expulsion for the Jesuits and a few short years later the end of Mission Guevavi at the hands of the Apaches. In Mission of Sorrows Kessell has projected meticulous research into a highly readable narrative to produce an important contribution to the history of the Spanish Borderlands." -- From the Publisher University of Arizona Press hardcover‎

‎John Lloyd Stephens‎

‎Incidents Of Travel In Central America Chiapas And Yucatan‎

‎<p>This is a passable reading copy of this classic Mesoamerican discovery voyage and once the property of the old Wake Forest College before it relocated to Winston-Salem.  This Volume 1 only was purchased through the Harry Stevens Company book dealers for many years in Raleigh NC.  It would inexpensively fill out a set or stand alone for those interested in the region's history.  Stephens though he died young was very active and accurate in rediscovering the Mayan civilization and the engravings herein are astounding.  Photos on request.</p> Harper & Brothers hardcover‎
