The Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca was carefully constructed during his lifetime to be his lasting legacy in New Spain. The goal of this dissertation is to reexamine published primary sources in light of this new argument and integrate unknown archival material to trace the development of a lasting legacy by Cortés and his direct heirs in Spanish colonial Mexico. Part one looks at Cortés’s life after the conquest of Mexico, giving particular attention to the themes of fame and honor and how these ideas guided his actions. The importance of land and property in and after the conquest is also highlighted. Part two is an examination of the marquisate, discussing the key features of the various landholdings and also their importance to the legacy Cortés sought to construct.

  • Puerto Rican Food Sovereignty As Embodied Decolonial Resistance
    “DESDE ABAJO, COMO SEMILLA”: PUERTO RICAN FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AS EMBODIED DECOLONIAL RESISTANCE by MOMO WILMS-CROWE A THESIS Presented to the Department of Political Science and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts An Abstract of the Thesis of Momo Wilms-Crowe for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Political Science to be taken June 2020 Title: “Desde Abajo, Como Semilla: Puerto Rican Food Sovereignty as Embodied Decolonial Resistance Approved: _______Dan Tichenor, Ph.D______________ Primary Thesis Advisor This thesis explores the power, possibility, and agency embedded in food in the contemporary Puerto Rican context. Building from participatory ethnographic fieldwork with activists, chefs, and farmers engaged in food sovereignty work, I examine the concepts of political agency and subjectivity as they relate to embodied experiences of politics and highlight the generative potential of work occurring in unconventional locations for political participation. This approach is made possible with the understanding that the food we consume directly connects our individual lived experiences to broader structures of power in intimate and material ways. Through food, I offer a grounded critique of US colonial violence, inherently linked to ecological destruction, cisheteropatriarchy, and disaster capitalism. I also document dynamics of radical prefigurative politics as visible in people’s generative reimagining of relationships with their bodies, each other, and the land. This analysis is supported theoretically by Indigenous, anarchist, and queer/feminist perspectives which similarly connect the personal to the political and offer examples of political action that extend beyond state-centric formal politics.

  • Brazil of Biofuels
    The launch of this report on the impacts of 2008’s sugarcane harvest marks the conclusion of the first cycle of activities of the Biofuel Watch Center (BWC) of NGO Repórter Brasil. SUGARCANE This research on sugarcane, an expanding crop facing the ethanol global boom, brings an alert on the contrast between the wealth and poverty that characterizes the sector: on the one hand, high investments from national and international groups guarantee cutting- edge technology development; on the other, the advance of monoculture generates environmental problems and thousands of workers are still suffering laboural super- exploitation. During 2008, we have also produced a report on the impacts of soy and castor bean, and another on palm oil, babassu, cotton, corn and jatropha, always with the goal of subsiding, with qualified info and analysis, social movements, non-governmental organisations, authorities, entrepreneurs and specialists in general. In 2009, new reports will be published, aiming at verifying the evolution of the problems caused by the agroenergy crops.

Bell was reviewed and approved* by the following: Karl S. Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Deryck W.

It takes the example of the Spanish introduction of gristmill technology and related wheat/bread production and water management practices to Lima, Peru during the early colonial period (1535-1700). Mills are analyzed in a historical political ecological and landscape perspective; they are conceptualized not as isolated mechanical devices, but rather as components of extensive water management systems, far-reaching grain markets and economies, and broad social networks of resource access. They were physical sites of intersection between flows of water, grain, and people. One remarkable archival collection was the main source used to trace these flows.
