Al leer este libro, el lector emprenderá un viaje de descubrimiento en una zona cafetalera en lo profundo de la montaña, donde el pueblo más cercano está a 17 kilómetros de distancia. El autor nos revela una historia facinante de cómo es la vida en el cafetal. Por primera vez, podremos apreciar lo real de la existencia campesina, y el intricado proseso de las fi ncas, que no ha cambiado por siglos. Estas historias son verídicas y a través de ellas, se expondrán secretos de la montaña nunca antes divulgados en ningún libro. El autor nos habla con sinceridad, candor y en pleno lenguaje nativo y en ocasiones, desde un adorable punto de vista infantil. También por primera vez, la décima criolla es parte esencial que satura las historias con una emoción única.

En su nueva producción literaria, Sotomayor, el escritor Francisco (Paquito) López (Maricao, Puerto Rico; 1945) se enfrenta a uno de los sucesos más impactantes de los primeros años de la colonización de Borinquén: el ahogamiento de Diego Salcedo por parte de un grupo de taínos comandados por el cacique Urayoán y la consiguiente revelación de que los españoles no eran inmortales. Este suceso sirvió para que los taínos se convencieran de que luchar contra la opresión por parte de los conquistadores españoles no era una empresa fútil. El levantamiento por parte de los taínos contra la explotación española terminó de manera trágica; es decir, con la total eliminación de los nativos en pocas décadas. Cinco siglos más tarde, la amada Borinquén de los taínos sigue sujeta al poderío, aparentemente omnipotente, de otro invasor.

Pictorial reconstructions of ancient human ancestors have twin purposes: to make sense of shared ancestry and to bring prehistory to life. Stephanie Moser analyzes the close relationship between representations of the past and theories about human evolution, showing how this relationship existed even before a scientific understanding of human origins developed. How did mythological, religious, and historically inspired visions of the past, in existence for centuries, shape this understanding? Moser treats images as primary documents, and her book is lavishly illustrated with engravings, paintings, photographs, and reconstructions. In surveying the iconography of prehistory, Moser explores visions of human creation from their origins in classical, early Christian, and medieval periods through traditions of representation initiated in the Renaissance. She looks closely at the first scientific reconstructions of the nineteenth century, which dramatized and made comprehensible the Darwinian theory of human descent from apes. She considers, as well, the impact of reconstructions on popular literature in Europe and North America, showing that early visualizations of prehistory retained a firm hold on the imagination—a hold that archaeologists and anthropologists have found difficult to shake.

This 1982 collection of eight original anthropological essays provides an exciting synthesis of theory and practice in one of the key issues of contemporary cultural evolutionary thought. The contributors ask why complex, highly stratified societies emerged at several locations in the New World at the same point in prehistory. Focusing primarily on the initial centers of civilization in Mesoamerica and the Andean region, they consider the sociopolitical, environmental and ideological factors in state formation. The essays discuss the prehistoric conditions and processes that simulated the development of the first state-level societies in Mesoamerica and Peru, and explore the difficulties archaeologists must face in their direct analysis of physical remains. In general, the contributors recognize a growing need for better archaeological solutions to the question of state origin and for more sensitivity to the problems as well as to the possibilities of ethnographic analogy.
