Historia de la Conquista de América

Evangelización Y Violencia
  • By Luis N. Rivera Pagán
$14.49
($19.99)
Product Description

Luis N. Rivera Pagán en su libro Historia de la conquista de América: Evangelización y violencia nos describe cómo este libro se concibió en medio de los intensos debates sobre el quinto centenario del "descubrimiento de América". Esos debates estimularon y fertilizaron la investigación histórica sobre los pueblos americanos. También propició la publicación de grandes textos relativos al descubrimiento y la conquista, algunos inéditos durante varios siglos.

El libro se divide en tres partes. La primera --Descubrimiento, conquista y evangelización-- relata los hechos desde una perspectiva crítica, ante la cual se desvela el vínculo íntimo entre el descubrimiento y la conquista, como una toma de posesión de tierras y personas, legitimada por conceptos, imágenes y símbolos religiosos. La segunda --Libertad y servidumbre en la conquista de América-- analiza los elementos centrales de la gran porfía teórica de la conquista: la licitud de la abrogación de la autonomía de los pueblos aborígenes y los sistemas de trabajo forzoso --esclavitud y encomienda-- que se les impuso, tanto a ellos como a las comunidades africanas que se importaban en gran número, como seres desprovistos de libertad política y autonomía personal. La tercera --Hacia una crítica teológica de la conquista-- intenta desarrollar justamente lo que su título sugiere: una evaluación no panegírica de la conquista a la luz de los conceptos, imágenes y símbolos evangélicos que ella misma enarboló como su paradigma de legitimidad.

History of the conquest of America

Luis N. Rivera Pagán in his book, The Conquest of America: Evangelization and violence, describes how this book was conceived in the midst of the intense debates on the fifth centenary of the "discovery of America". These debates stimulated and fertilized historical research on the American peoples. It also encouraged the publication of the great texts relating to the discovery and conquest, some of which had remained unpublished for several centuries.

The book is divided into three parts. The first - "Discovery, Conquest and Evangelization"- relates the facts from a critical perspective, revealing the intimate link between discovery and conquest, as a takeover of land and people, legitimized by religious concepts, images and symbols. The second - "Freedom and servitude in the conquest of America"- analyzes the central elements of the great theoretical challenge of the conquest: the lawfulness of the abrogation of the autonomy of the aboriginal peoples and the systems of forced labor -slavery and encomienda- imposed on them and on the African communities that were imported in great numbers, as beings devoid of political freedom and personal autonomy. The third - "Towards a theological critique of the conquest"- attempts to develop precisely what its title suggests: a non-panegyric evaluation of the conquest in the light of the evangelical concepts, images and symbols that the conquest itself raised as its paradigm of legitimacy.
