This mixed methods study describes a novel intergenerational community in a personal care home that situates graduate health science students as neighbors to older adult residents. The study aims to assess student attitudes about aging and the impact on quality of life from both student and older adult resident perspectives. Quantitative student outcomes were as…

Canada's Place Names and How to Change Them
New folk music and folk-song materials in this comprehensive study are particularly important for singers, folk music enthusiasts, ethnomusicologists, comparative and cultural studies scholars, and those interested in Canadian culture. LaRena Clark was a great singer and knew many fine songs. Her wide repertoire covers almost the complete range of types and topics of traditional Anglo-Canadian songs. Comparison with other collections in Canada, t…

Euro-Settler Place Naming Practices for North America through a Gendered and Racialized Lens
The rich fabric of place names knitting together the Americas weaves into a complex intercultural network of naming practices that span thousands of years as well as the globe. Indigenous, European, and settler communities each bestowed names upon places near and far whose meanings describe the place, its resources, or one’s experiences there. Names define the people who occupy a place. They commemorate an event or person in ways that evidence th…

Implicating Race in Exploration History
Discovery and exploration history almost always requires scholars to implicate race in one way or another, particularly due to the anthropological and ethnographic quality inherent to exploration-r

Race and Labor in Sixteenth-Century Seville through the Prism of Accounting Books ( Hijuelas ) from the Reales Alcázares
Hijuelas furnish scholars with more than account balances and bills paid: ledgers such as the ones that detailed the expenses of Seville’s sixteenth-century Alcázar also yield important insight into the facility’s work environment. These hardly studied ledgers describe the workers’ backgrounds, including their wages and any special accommodations they required, as well as the transaction of material goods, which in this period included slaves. Th…
Martín Cortés
The author of this book promises to examine the relatively unstudied life of Martín Cortés (1533–89), the second of two sons by that name born to one of Mexico's most famous Spanish colonizers, Hernando Cortés (1485–1547). Her laborious contribution to this topic will benefit sixteenth-century historians and Hispanists because she brings to light important archival sources that together with secondary sources compose a portrait of the second marq…

Forbidden Passages
The author of this book ambitiously seeks to recover documentation that reveals the extent to which Muslims and Moriscos—individuals of Muslim background who had converted to Christianity—were incorporated into the Spanish New World. One of this book's strengths is the author's attempt to expose the reader to the subverted voices of early modern Muslims and Moriscos, either through the archival sources recording both their firsthand perspectives …

The travelogue of a Moroccan ambassador to Charles II, 1690-91
An unpublished manuscript, containing a unique version of a travelogue, documented the travels of a Moroccan ambassador to the court of Charles II in 1690–91 to negotiate a prisoner exchange as well as the return of a number of Arabic-language manuscripts held at the royal palace near Madrid. After summarising and comparing the travelogue to other known copies, this article explores how this narrative came to reside at the University of Seville's…
Pieter van der Beke
This study explores the relatively unknown author of a 1538 map of Flanders, Pieter van der Beke, and the cartographic and cultural environment in which it was produced. To this end, the possible influences the map had throughout the Low Lands will be considered in light of the Reform movement popularized during this period, but also in light of the Fall of Ghent in 1539 as an indication of Imperial control that would, under Philip II, become the…
Claiming California
Early modern European knowledge about California was informed by the impressions of the first explorers as well as by more empirical information collected over the centuries that followed, and from which the shape and extent of that territory slowly grew out of the shadows of terra incognita and Spanish possession of it became consolidated. National claims on its periphery, however, provoked continued debate about the geographical scope of Califo…
