    Open AccessJana D Pressley, Joseph Spinazzola et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Emerging research highlights important distinctions in symptomatology between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) resulting from a single, discrete event, complex interpersonal traumas in the past, and the pervasive effects of chronic, ongoing complex trauma. Despite these well-documented differences, much of the existing practice and professional guidelines for PTSD-focused interventions apply a uniform framework across the distinct clinical pr…

  • The Underground World of Secret Jews and Africans: Two Tales of Sex, Magic, and Survival in Colonial Cartagena and Mexico City , by Jonathan Schorsch

    In his classic study, Inquisition in the Spanish Dependencies (1908), Henry C. Lea noted that "in the colonies we see the Inquisition at its worst, [demonstrating a] capacity for evil even greater than in the Peninsula."Lea's approach to these tribunals-one in Peru, the others in Mexico City and the port city of Cartagena de Indias-was primarily institutional; he was especially interested in their procedures, the number and kinds of cases they pr…

  • People and places in the Americas

    Richard L Kagan, Nicholas Canny et al.BOOKThe Oxford handbook of the…2012

    Writing in the wake of King George's War, Edmund Burke, together with his cousin, offered the first comparative analysis of European settlement patterns in the New World in his Account of the European Settlement of America (1757). Although Burke never crossed the Atlantic, he was still able to provide insights into the ‘comparatively weak’ state of Spanish settlement in New Mexico, the lack of ‘towns and villages’ in New France, and the defects i…

  • Heeding Heraclides: Empire and its discontents, 1619–1812

    Anthony Pagden, Richard L Kagan et al.CHAPTERSpain, Europe and the Atlantic2010

    Heraclides of Byzantium, ambassador of Antiochus, presented himself to Publius Scipio and warned him: ‘Let the Romans limit their Empire to Europe, that even this was very large; that it was possible to gain it part by part more easily than to hold the whole.’ Scipio was unimpressed. ‘What seemed to the ambassador great incentives for conducting peace’, Livy tells us, ‘seemed unimportant to the Romans.’ But Heraclides' words would return to haunt…

  • David or Goliath? Philip II and his world in the 1580s

    Richard L Kagan, Geoffrey ParkerCHAPTERSpain, Europe and the Atlantic2010

    The coronation of Philip II as king of Portugal at Tomar on 16 April 1581 created the first empire upon which the sun never set. Nevertheless, the king did not look forward to the ceremony: ‘As you know’, he confided in a letter to his daughters, ‘they want to dress me in silk brocade, very much against my will’; but, on that historic day, he rose to the occasion. Putting aside the mourning that he had worn since the death of his fourth wife, six…

  • The Spanish Craze in the United States: Cultural Entitlement and the Appropriation of Spains Cultural Patrimony, ca. 1890-ca. 1930

    Open AccessRichard L KaganARTICLERevista Complutense de Historia…2010Cited by: 6References: 3

    At the time of war of 1898, the image of Spain in the United States has been traditionally seen as one much influenced by the Black Legend. Notwithstanding the importance of this negative image of Spain, this article suggests that even in that critical historical period there existed another line of thinking that viewed Spain and its culture in a much more positive light. Focusing primarily on topics relating to architecture and art, it further u…

  • Atlantic Diasporas: Jews, conversos, and crypto-Jews in the age of mercantilism, 1500-1800

    Richard L Kagan, Richard Kagan et al.BOOKAtlantic diasporas2008

    "This wide-ranging narrative explores the role that Jews, Conversos, and Crypto-Jews played in settling and building the Atlantic world between 1500 and 1800. Through the interwoven themes of markets, politics, religion, culture, and identity, the essays here demonstrate that the world of Atlantic Jewry, most often typified by Port Jews involved in mercantile pursuits, was more complex than commonly depicted. The first section discusses the diasp…

    Setting aside the pastiche of bullfighters and flamenco dancers that has dominated the U.S. image of for more than a century, this innovative volume uncovers the roots of Spanish studies to explain why the diversity, vitality, and complexity of Spanish history and culture have been reduced in U.S. accounts to the equivalent of a tourist brochure. Spurred by the complex colonial relations between the United States and Spain, the new field of Spani…

    Richard L Kagan, Geoffrey ParkerBOOKSpain, Europe and the Atlantic1995

    The idea of a dialogue - sometimes harmonious, sometimes divisive - between the centre and periphery of the early modern European state stands at the heart of much of John Elliott's historical writing. It is the fulcrum around which his Imperial Spain revolves, and it lies at the heart of his analysis of the causes of the revolt of the Catalans against the centralising policies of the Madrid government. His writings on the Americas, such as The O…
