"Anonimo Mexicano is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris. Its first complete publication here includes a full English translation, an accurate transcription of the original document's classical Nahuatl, a modern Nahuatl version for philological comparison, and comprehensive annotation. This definitive edition thus will be valuable for anthropologists, ethnohistorians, folklorists, linguists, Mesoamerican specialists, philologists, and others. Moreover, anyone interested in the epic origin tales of peoples and nations will find interest in Anonimo Mexicano's grand narrative of dynastic wars, conquests, and migrations, cast in mythological terms."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
La verdad ineludible es que el racismo sistémico y las estructuras coloniales son principios fundamentales de nuestras economías. Nuestra industria filantrópica de mil millones de dólares es un ejemplo flagrante. ¿Cómo, pues, cambiamos la filantropía y otras industrias hacia la reconciliación social y la sanación si sus premisas básicas son la explotación, la extracción y el control? En Descolonizar la riqueza, Edgar Villanueva mira más allá de la glamurosa y altruista fachada de la filantropía y nos introduce en sus sombras: supremacía blanca, complejo de salvador y opresión interiorizada. Después, basándose en tradiciones nativas, Edgar empodera a individuos e instituciones para comenzar a reparar los daños mediante sus siete pasos para la sanación. En esta segunda edición, añade inspiradores ejemplos de personas que utilizan sus recursos para descolonizar el sector del entretenimiento, museos, bibliotecas, la propiedad de tierras y mucho más. Todos podemos ser personas y líderes sanadores para restaurar el equilibrio, y todos tenemos que hacer nuestra parte. ¿Estás dispuesto?

Excerpt from The Anonimo: Notes on Pictures and Works of Art in Italy Made by an Anonymous Writer The manuscript of which this is a translation consists of a series of notes, made in the early part of the sixteenth century, concerning pictures and other treasures contained in various houses, and monuments and works of art in churches, schools, and other ecclesiastical buildings in the cities which the writer had visited. It was discovered by the Abate Don Jacopo Morelli in 1800 amongst the Marciana manuscripts, a collection formed by Apostolo Zeno, a poet and literary man of Venice, who was born in 1668 and died in 1750, and who, after collecting together a famous series of manuscripts, left...
This catalogue is a compilation of paintings (particularly from painters José Campeche y Jordán (1751-1809) and Francisco Manuel Oller y Cestero (1833-1917)) part of the vast collection of art that the ICP has treasured for more than a century, since its foundation in 1955. "Beginning with the first acquisition through the purchase of a work by José Campeche in February of 1959 and up to the last two works acquired in 1977, the Institute has gathered about twenty-four pieces of unique testimonial value in more than one case. With this number, it surpasses the best-known series until then: the Campeche canvases in the Archbishop's palace in San Juan, of which there are twenty."--P. xiii. Includes several essays by well-known Puerto Rican art historians and curators.
