Isabel Orleans-Braganca

Isabel Orleans-Braganca

James McMurtry Longo

McFarland Co Inc
2007
pokkari
This is a biography of Isabel Orleans-Braganca, daughter of the last emperor of Brazil. At a time when the voices of women went mostly unheard, Orleans-Braganca was a skilled and vocal politician. She was also a determined abolitionist, committed to peacefully ending slavery in the country that first introduced slavery to America. Thrust into the political spotlight after the death of her two brothers and illness of her father, Orleans-Braganca became acting head of state just as revolution was sweeping the country. She soon found herself in a race to save the constitutional government and free the nation's slaves before a coup d'etat ended her time in power.

Isabel Allende--"la Famosa" to her fellow Chileans--is the world's most widely read Spanish language author. Her career coincides with the emergence of multiculturalism and global feminism, and her powerfully honest, revelatory works touch the pulse points of humankind. Her bravura study of the interwoven roles of women in family history opens the minds of outsiders to the sufferings of women and their children during years of social and political nightmare. This reference work provides an introduction to Allende's life as well as a guided overview of her body of work. Designed for the fan and scholar alike, this text features an alphabetized, fully-annotated listing of major terms in the Allende canon, including fictional characters, motifs, historical events and themes.

Isabel the Queen

Isabel the Queen

Peggy K. Liss

University of Pennsylvania Press
2005
pokkari
Queen Isabel of Castile is perhaps best known for her patronage of Christopher Columbus and for the religious zeal that led to the Spanish Inquisition, the waging of holy war, and the expulsion of Jews and Muslims across the Iberian peninsula. In this sweeping biography, newly revised and annotated to coincide with the five-hundredth anniversary of Isabel's death, Peggy K. Liss draws upon a rich array of sources to untangle the facts, legends, and fiercely held opinions about this influential queen and her decisive role in the tumultuous politics of early modern Spain. Isabel the Queen reveals a monarch who was a woman of ruthless determination and strong religious beliefs, a devoted wife and mother, and a formidable leader. As Liss shows, Isabel's piety and political ambition motivated her throughout her life, from her earliest struggles to claim her crown to her secret marriage to King Fernando of Aragón, a union that brought success in civil war, consolidated Christian hegemony over the Iberian peninsula, and set the stage for Spain to become a world empire.

Isabel Rules

Isabel Rules

Weissberger Barbara F.

University of Minnesota Press
2003
sidottu
The movement to canonise the Catholic Queen Isabel has recently been revived and, therefore, this detailed and original scrutiny of both Isabel and the power she wielded is timely. Of special interest to Weissberger is the relationship between sexuality and power in 15th-century Spain, in particular the anxiety felt at the time about the nature of male and female sexuality. This created a conflict in the minds of Isabel's subjects in their perception of their queen as both spiritual and political leader and as a weak and corrupt woman. Drawing on documentary and literary accounts, Weissberger discusses male anxiety about Isabel, Isabel's type of sovereignty, effeminacy in historiography, Isabel's patronage of the arts and Juan de Flores' treatment of the mad queen. An innovative and interesting approach to a remarkable woman.

A deconstruction of the strategies used to shape the image of a powerful woman rulerAs queen of Spain, Isabel I of Castile (known to history as Isabella the Catholic, 1474–1504) oversaw the creation of Europe’s first nation-state and laid the foundations for its emergence as the largest empire the West has ever known-nearly a century before the better-known and more widely studied Elizabeth I of England. What we know of this remarkable ruler is typically gleaned from hagiographic texts that negate her power and accept her own propagandistic self-fashioning as legitimate heir, pious princess, devoted wife, and heaven-sent healer of the wounds inflicted on Spain’s body politic by impotent kings, seditious nobles, and such undesirable others as Jews, Muslims, and sodomites. Isabel Rules is the first book to examine the formation of the queen’s public image, focusing on strategies designed to cope with the ideological and cultural dissonance created by the combination of her gender and her profoundly patriarchal political program for unifying and purifying Spain.Barbara Weissberger identifies two primary and interrelated strategies among the supporters of the queen-often writing in her employ-and her critics. Her loyalists use Marian imagery to portray Isabel as a pious, chaste, and submissive queen consort to her husband Ferdinand, while her opponents imagine the queen as a voracious and lascivious whore whose illicit power threatens the virility of her male subjects and inverts the traditional gender hierarchy. Weissberger applies a materialist feminist perspective to a wide array of texts of the second half of the fifteenth century in order to uncover and study the masculine psychosexual anxiety created by Isabel’s anomalous power. She then demonstrates the persistence of the two sides of the propagandistic construction of the Catholic queen, reviewing modern treatments in Francoist schoolbooks and in the fiction of Juan Goytisolo, Alejo Carpentier, and Salman Rushdie.

Innovatively combining period and contemporary furniture and art in a sophisticated mix, the homes of Isabel López- Quesada are inspirational and unforgettable. In At Home, the Spanish designer tells her own story.

She relates how she transformed an abandoned wax factory in a leafy district of Madrid into her family home and atelier, and then recounts how she created a country home out of a run-down Basque farm in the hills outside of Biarritz, France. Both the Madrid and Biarritz properties have been affectionately documented by Miguel Flores-Vianna, who has photographed interiors, patios, and gardens, as well as López-Quesada’s design studios.

Profundizar en el conocimiento y comprensi n de un personaje hist rico en toda su complejidad y m ltiples facetas exige algo m s que analizar su biograf a. As lo ha comprendido Carmen Alicia Morales, que tras haber realizado la psicobiograf a de Isabel I de Castilla, ha querido continuar la indagaci n sobre el entorno de la reina, para saber m s sobre ella y poder entender mejor su poca y su trayectoria vital, tanto personal como pol tica. Conocer el origen, la cultura, usos, modales y tradiciones familiares constituye un conjunto de datos imprescindibles para explicar quienes fueron esos personajes hist ricos a los que queremos acercarnos, y para comprender la sociedad en la que desarrollaron su existencia. Precisamente esto es lo que ofrece a sus lectores la nueva obra de la Dra. Morales fruto de su incansable tarea investigadora. En ella se explica con precisi n qui nes fueron los parientes de la Reina Cat lica. Los cuadros geneal gicos y las ilustraciones ayudan a la comprensi n del significado de esas peque as y claras biograf as de quienes destacaron en una y otra rama familiar: la portuguesa y la castellana. La obra en su conjunto desvela el perfil de interesantes personalidades, cuyas vidas fueron tejiendo una historia en la que hay que enmarcar a la reina Isabel de Castilla; una Historia que no es otra que la de esa poca apasionante que fue el siglo XV. __ Isabel del Val Valdivieso Catedr tica de Historia Medieval Universidad de Valladolid, Espa a

Isabel, Anacaona & Columbus's Demise

Isabel, Anacaona & Columbus's Demise

Andrew Rowen

All Persons Press
2025
sidottu
A historical novel, Isabel, Anacaona & Columbus's Demise: 1498-1502 Retold dramatizes from both Native and European perspectives the European subjugation of Espa ola's indigenous peoples during the least studied period of the island's brutal conquest. Based on primary sources, it strikingly sets a Native and European queen-the Ta no Anacaona and Spain's Isabel-on comparable pedestals and tells Columbus's demise through his eyes and those of Ta no chieftains and Spaniards who opposed him. Queen Isabel and King Fernando struggle to bring their conquest of Espa ola to profitability and order, and she sincerely seeks to curtail her conquerors' enslavement of "Indians" and other abuses, including freeing Indians whom Columbus has enslaved. She and Fernando terminate Columbus's governorship of Espa ola, direct his successors to reorder settler-Indian relationships, and dispatch other explorers to claim the mainland. But Isabel's conquerors mostly ignore her instructions regarding the Indians' treatment. Anacaona and her brother Chief Behecchio strive to prevent Columbus's conquest from extending to their chiefdom of Xaragu , harboring Spaniards rebelling against Columbus in return for protection from him. Anacaona rises to chieftain on Behecchio's death, outlasting Columbus's governorship and that of his successor and the reigns of nearly all Espa ola's other supreme chieftains. She's determined to preserve Ta no civilization, and her competence as chieftain matches her more renowned allure. Columbus explores the mainland on his third voyage, recognizes that it's a continent, and then struggles to settle the rebellions against him on Espa ola, ultimately awarding the rebels Indian land and Indians. Scenes closely trace his life, objectives, and activities for two years as governor of Espa ola (while not at sea), often abbreviated in biographies of him. Embittered by opposition, he deteriorates intellectually, collapses, and resists his successor, who investigates his conduct and sends him home in chains. Scenes also portray daily life at the frontier of conquest, including the inception of mestizo society, the fate of Indians enslaved, the origins of the doctrines of repartimiento and encomienda by which Spain would rule its New World possessions, and the slow advance of Christianity. The novel is a sequel to, and readable independently from, Encounters Unforeseen: 1492 Retold (2017) and Columbus and Caonab 1493-1498 Retold (2021). A Sources section cites the works considered and sometimes explains the author's reasoning and contrary interpretations. There are thirty-five illustrations and maps, including a sketch of Anacaona.
