Nicaraguan Migration
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Nicaragua maintained one of the most powerful economies of Central America until the late 1970s, even in the face of an oppressive authoritarianism that had been in existence since the first half of the century. The year 1979 marked the point in time when the Sandinistas took over, bringing to bear their revolutionary political style, starting a downward economic and social spiral that would not cease for more than a decade (Harris, 1993) and encouraging thousands upon thousands of Nicaraguans to seek a better life in Miami.

Reaction To Colonizing And The Attempt To Conquer And Control Native Peoples
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. The French ethnohistorian Nathan Wachtel has spoken of the "Vision of the Vanquished" in context of American Indians and their reaction to outsiders and the European attempt to conquer and control native peoples. The ways in which certain texts engage the question of native response to conquest and colonization mirror myriad populations that have had to endure similar subjugation. Historically, the degree of resistance, along with the challenge's effectiveness to outside authority, has not worked in the natives' favor, ultimately hastening a strong dislike for those who choose to colonize on land that is already occupied by native peoples.

Silver Mining In 16th To 18th Century South America: Impact Upon Spanish Colonist And Native Populations
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. South America's silver mining from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries paved the way for future economic, political and social progress for Spanish Colonists. While the discovery of this precious metal prompted such adventurers as Juan de Oņate, New Mexico's first governor, it also set a precedent with regard to the extent of South America's extended reach into new and previously uncharted territory. Oņate began these lengthy journeys in 1598 with a party of one hundred fifty men, several servants and additional family. Their five-month expedition led them from Rio Conchos to the Pueblo of San Juan and beyond; however, they could never have made this journey with any success had it not been for the Native American scouts who provided guidance over unfamiliar terrain. The manner by which Spanish colonists ultimately violated and betrayed the native peoples, however, most likely made them sorry for ever offering their assistance. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
