A partir del analisis de entierros individuales y colectivos recuperados en distintos momentos de exploracion arqueologica, los autores combinan informacion de campo con estudios osteobiograficos, arqueologicos y contextuales para reconstruir las caracteristicas fisicas, el estado de salud, las modificaciones corporales, el atuendo y los objetos asociados a estos personajes.La obra examina el sistema funerario teotihuacano, las evidencias de sacrificio humano incluida la cardioctomia y practicas postsacrificiales y el significado simbolico de los entierros dentro de la estructura ceremonial.

Luego de que los Estados Unidos aboliera la esclavitud, el racismo en ese país se caracterizó por su manifestación explícita, formal y segregacionista, llegando a ser legalizado e institucionalizado; sin embargo, tras la aprobacion de la Ley de Derechos Civiles, en 1964, se utilizaron nuevos mecanismos para mantener la dominacion social sobre la poblacion afroamericana: prejuicios, confinamiento en guetos, minimizacion de oportunidades laborales, precarizacion de sus condiciones de vida, criminalizacion, encarcelamiento masivo y brutalidad policial.Tras la llegada de Barack Obama a la Casa Blanca, en 2008, los prejuicios raciales se profundizaron entre los sectores conservadores blancos. Y durante la presidencia de Donald Trump, el racismo formo parte de su discurso y de sus practicas, ya que atizo las tensiones raciales, apoyo a grupos abiertamente supremacistas y justifico el uso excesivo de la fuerza policial contra los afrodescendientes. Estos hechos favorecieron los comportamientos racistas de la policia y le proporcionaron apoyo politico e impunidad judicial, que quedo en evidencia con el brutal asesinato de George Floyd, en 2020, a manos de la policia en la ciudad de Minneapolis.

The Winning of the West chronicles the trans-Appalachian expansion from the Revolution through the early republic, following settlement, treaty-making, and border war in Kentucky, the Ohio Valley, and the Old Southwest. Roosevelt blends state papers and pioneer memoirs with taut, martial prose. Composed in the Gilded Age, it exalts backwoods democracy and militia valor while advancing a distinctly racialized, imperial vision of national destiny. Roosevelt writes as a ranchman, amateur historian, and rising politician whose Badlands years and earlier Naval War of 1812 sharpened his archival habits and creed of the "strenuous life." Western travel, administrative reform, and nationalism shaped his admiration for frontier civic toughness; equally, contemporary evolutionary and Anglo-Saxonist assumptions inform his judgments, making the book a revealing artifact of Gilded-Age statecraft. Recommended for students of American political, military, and borderlands history, this work remains indispensable for its synthesis and documentary reach. Read it for its narrative drive and legislative minutiae, but approach criticallypaired with Indigenous and transnational scholarshipto balance its exclusions and to test its claims about democracy, violence, and nation-building on the early American frontier.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

J. B. Burys two-volume A History of the Later Roman Empire offers a sweeping narrative of Romes transformation from Late Antiquity to the Byzantine commonwealth. Combining lucid prose with philological rigor, Bury synthesizes chronicles, legal codes, and numismatic evidence to reconstruct institutions, wars, and religious controversies, from court politics and frontier pressures to ecclesiastical councils and fiscal machinery. His analysis balances administrative detail with cultural continuity, engaging critically with Gibbon while foregrounding bureaucracy, diplomacy, and the Mediterranean economy as engines of change. An Irish classicist and Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge, Bury championed a scientific history grounded in primary documentation. His training in Greek and Roman historiography, his editorial work on large collaborative histories, and his interests in Byzantium and church-state relations shaped his emphasis on institutions over moral drama. The volumes also reflect contemporary positivist method and a cosmopolitan command of Continental scholarship then reshaping late Roman studies. This work remains indispensable for students of Late Antiquity, Byzantine origins, and imperial governance. Read it for its exacting narrative and extensive references, while supplementing with recent archaeological and social history findings. For researchers and general readers alike, Bury provides a foundational map of a complex era.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

William Hickling Prescotts The Conquest of Mexico offers a sweeping narrative of Hernán Cortéss campaign against the Mexica, from the landing at Veracruz and the Tlaxcalan alliance to the Noche Triste and the siege of Tenochtitlan. In polished prose buttressed by notes, Prescott interweaves political, military, and ethnographic strands, drawing on the Cartas de Relacion, Bernal Diaz del Castillo, and early ecclesiastical chronicles. As a Romantic-era history, it pairs moral reflection with dramatic set pieces. Prescott, a Bostonian scholar educated at Harvard, composed much of this work while nearly blind, dictating to amanuenses and accessing Spanish archives through transcripts and correspondence. His methodcollating rival eyewitnesses against state papersshows disciplined, proto-critical historicism, even as his Anglo-American, Protestant milieu and antebellum debates about expansion shaped his emphases. Fascinated by civilizational encounter, he aimed to explain both Spanish audacity and Mexica statecraft without reducing either to caricature. This classic warrants contemporary reading for its narrative power and documentary ambition, and as a case study in the making of imperial historiography. Readers of global empire, Indigenous studies, and narrative history will find it rewardingbest approached alongside modern Mesoamerican scholarship that complicates its Eurocentric frames.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Astoria (A Western Classic) narrates John Jacob Astors Pacific Fur Company venture (18101813) to plant a trading post at the Columbias mouth. In poised, documentary prose enlivened by picturesque set pieces, Irving interweaves the Tonquins voyage, Wilson P. Hunts perilous overland trek along the Snake, and the forts eclipse amid the War of 1812 and British competition, fixing the early literary image of the Pacific Northwest. Commissioned by Astor yet written with independent tact, Irving mined company records and participants journals, especially those of Hunt and Robert Stuart, and compared them with published fur-trade accounts. Fresh from his 1832 tour on the prairies, the cosmopolitan author of The Sketch Book and the Columbus and Granada histories brought a transatlantic eye to commerce, empire, and Native relations, shaping corporate archives into national narrative. Astoria merits reading by anyone interested in exploration, the fur trade, or the making of the Pacific Northwest. Its blend of adventure, careful synthesis, and moral nuance illuminates the Oregon Trails prehistory and the entanglements of capital, rivalry, and encounter. Both scholars and general readers will find a lucid, consequential chronicle of ambition at the continents edge.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Barbarous Mexico is John Kenneth Turners incendiary reportage on the Porfirio Díaz regime, exposing debt peonage on Yucatán henequen estates, the deportation of Yaqui people, the criminalization of labor, and U.S. investors complicity. In the idiom of Progressive-era muckrakingdocumentary, polemical, and vividly observedit braids interviews, records, and covert observation into a prosecutorial narrative that, on the eve of revolution, links local brutality to the export boom and the machinery of modern finance. An American muckraker allied with Mexican exiles such as Ricardo Flores Magon, Turner traveled undercoverat times posing as an investorto gather testimony and documents smuggled past censors. Serialized before its 1910 book publication, his inquiry drew on Progressive reform networks and personal risk, clarifying how Diazs "order and progress" rested on systematic coercion.

The Winning of the West (Complete Edition) gathers Roosevelts sweeping four-volume history of the trans-Appalachian frontier, from the 1770s into the early republic. In vigorous, sinewy prose, he traces migration into Kentucky and the Ohio Valley; the campaigns of George Rogers Clark and Andrew Jackson; figures such as Daniel Boone; and brutal contests among U.S., British, Spanish, and diverse Native nations.

Roosevelt writes as both trained historian and participant-observer. Educated at Harvard and author of The Naval War of 1812, he also lived as a Dakota rancher, experiences that shaped his creed of the "strenuous life" and his admiration for militia republicanism. His synthesis reflects late nineteenthcentury assumptionsespecially racialized hierarchies and civilizational teleologyyet it draws impressively on scattered primary sources to argue that frontier self-government forged American character.

A History of New York, narrated by the fictive antiquary Diedrich Knickerbocker, is at once a mock-chronicle and an urban origin myth. Beginning with cosmogony and proceeding through the Dutch settlement to the fall of New Netherland, Irving parodies the pomp of classical historians with bogus citations, pedantic footnotes, comic etymologies, and mock-epic set pieces featuring governors like Wouter Van Twiller and Peter Stuyvesant. Published in 1809, the book situates itself within early American efforts to forge a national literature even as it lampoons historical pretension, drawing on Swift and Sterne to invent New Yorks enduring comic self-image. Irving, a native New Yorker (1783-1859), had apprenticed himself to satire in the periodical Salmagundi and honed a taste for playful hoaxes; the Knickerbocker persona was launched through missing-person notices that primed the city for his discovered manuscript. Trained in law and steeped in local folklore and Dutch remnants, he understood both the authority and the absurdity of archival rhetoric. The citys partisan ferment in the Jeffersonian era gave him targets and urgency, while his familys mercantile ties supplied the intimate topography he turns to burlesque.

Of Plymouth Plantation - True Story of the Pilgrims Life in the New World Colony narrates the Separatists migration from Leiden, the Atlantic crossing, the Mayflower Compact, and two difficult decades of settlement, chiefly 16201647. Bradfords plain, scripturally infused chronicle links ledger-like detail to providential interpretation, employing biblical typology to read famine, treaty, and harvest. He records the starving time, the shift from communal labor to private plots, diplomacy with Massasoit and Tisquantum (Squanto), debt to English backers, and frictions with rival plantations. William Bradford (15901657), repeatedly elected governor, was a self-taught Separatist shaped by exile in Scrooby and Leiden and the colonys lethal first winter. Writing between 1630 and 1651, he sought to memorialize trials, defend policy, and instruct posterity, blending administrative record with covenant theology born of hardship, scarcity, and precarious alliances. Students of American history, religious culture, and political beginnings will find here an exacting primary source rather than pious legend. Read it for eyewitness detail, the grammar of Puritan hope and anxiety, and the emergence of consensual self-rule in a fragile colony. Bradfords chronicle remains an indispensable, unadorned classic.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

On the Border with Crook is a definitive firsthand chronicle of the Indian Wars, tracing General George Crooks campaigns from Arizonas Tonto Basin to the 187677 northern plains. Shaped from field diaries, Bourkes prose splices brisk operational reportage with topographical precision and ethnographic notice, portraying scouts, soldiers, and Native leaders with rare sympathy. Logistics, intelligence-gathering, and the moral costs of irregular war receive as much weight as battle action, culminating in sober accounts of the Rosebud and hard desert marches.

Indian Depredations in Texas assembles scores of accounts of raids, rescues, captivities, and skirmishes that shaped the nineteenthcentury Texas frontier. Arranged as an episodic chronicle dense with names, dates, and locales, it blends documentary citation with vivid storytelling to move county by county across the borderlands. The style is plainspoken yet often sensational, typical of latecentury regional histories, and its evidentiary coreeyewitness reminiscences and newspaper gleaningsmakes it invaluable, even as its settler vantage and racialized language demand careful, contextual reading. John Wesley Wilbarger, a longtime Texan with intimate family experience of frontier violence, spent years collecting testimonies from survivors, kin, and local officials and supplementing them with archival materials. The near-fatal scalping of a close relative sharpened his memorial purpose, even as it intensified a partisan lens on conflict. This volume rewards historians of Texas, borderlands scholars, genealogists, and general readers seeking granular texture.

The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo is an eyewitness chronicle of the conquest of New Spain, tracing campaigns from the Gulf coast landings to the siege of Tenochtitlan. Its plainspoken, digressive prose mixes muster-roll precision with ethnographic observation of markets, ritual, and diplomacy. Set against the triumphal currents of sixteenthcentury conquest writing, Diazs "true history" corrects courtly apologia with granular, soldierly detail. Bernal Diaz del Castillo, a foot soldier from Medina del Campo who sailed with Cordoba and Grijalva before serving under Cortes, composed the work in old age from Guatemala. Stung by Francisco Lopez de Gomaras Cortes-centered narrative and seeking recognition for common soldiers, he writes to memorialize comrades, secure mercedes, and fix the record. His collective "we," tallies, and frank admissions of fear and brutality reflect lived experience rather than chancery polish. Readers of colonial history, anthropology, and narrative nonfiction will find a lucid, morally complex account that neither flatters empire nor resolves its contradictions. As a counterpoint to Cortess letters and Las Casass denunciations, this memoir rewards close reading for its insights into alliance-making, indigenous mediation, and the contingencies of conquest. It is essential for anyone seeking an exacting, ground-level classic of the Americas.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

A Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean recounts George Vancouvers 17911795 survey in HMS Discovery and Chatham with exacting Enlightenment style. He records soundings, bearings, and coastal profiles that proved Vancouver Islands insularity and clarified Puget Sound and Strait of Georgia, while charting Alaskas inlets. Interspersed are natural-history notes (with Archibald Menzies), observations on Nuu-chah-nulth, Haida, and Tlingit societies, and an account of Nootka Sound diplomacy with Bodega y Quadra amid BritishSpanish rivalry. The narratives cartographic rigor and cool tone make it a keystone of late-eighteenth-century Pacific voyaging. Trained under James Cook on two circumnavigations, Vancouver became a master hydrographer shaped by Admiralty science and imperial policy. Charged to execute the Nootka Conventions and survey the coast, he applied chronometric discipline and stern command that bred disputes yet yielded unmatched charts. Worn by illness, he died in 1798 as the work appeared, edited by shipmates and family. Essential for historians of empire, cartography, and Indigenous contact, this primary source rewards critical reading: its imperial vantage is clear, but so is its empirical care. Mariners and environmental historians will value the seasonal notes and coastal profiles; general readers will find a disciplined narrative of science, diplomacy, and discovery.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Bartolomé de las Casass A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies (1552) is a juridical-pastoral indictment of Spains conquest, addressed to the future Philip II. In terse, province-by-province vignettesfrom Hispaniola and Cuba to New Spain and Peruit catalogs massacres, enslavement, and the depopulating logic of encomienda. Apocalyptic yet forensic, it wields exempla, mortality estimates, and scriptural appeals to demand royal remedy. Situated in early modern debates on conquest and natural law, it later fed Europes Black Legend. Seville-born and once an encomendero, Las Casas experienced the conquest firsthand before a 1514 conversion of conscience led him to renounce his grant and join the Dominicans. Trained in scholastic theology and canon law, later bishop of Chiapas, he pressed the Crown for reform, helped inspire the New Laws of 1542, and confronted Sepulveda at Valladolid. This text distills decades of witnessing, pastoral labor, and legal argument. Students of colonial history, ethics, and political theology will find this brief indispensable. Read it criticallyalert to polemical compression and occasional hyperboleyet attentively, as a foundational plea for Indigenous rights and a bracing meditation on power, empire, and responsibility.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
