Juan Zanate used to sit under his favorite tree--with his only friends, the harvest birds--dreaming and planning his life. Juan had big dreams of becoming a farmer like his father and grandfather. But when his father died and the land was divided, there was only enough for his two older brothers. In this charming story from the heart of the Indian tradition in Mexico, Juan learns to determine his own destiny--with help from his loyal friends, the harvest birds.
With fists upraised, Mujeres Libres struggled for their own emancipation and the freedom of all.
Early Modern Spain: A social History explores the solidarities which held the Spanish nation together at this time of conflict and change. The book studies the pattern of fellowship and patronage at the local level which contributed to the notable absence of popular revolts characteristic of other European countries at this time. It also analyses the Counter-Reformation, which transformed religious attitudes, and which had a huge impact on family life, social control and popular culture. Focusing on the main themes of the development of capitalism, the growth of the state and religious upheaval, this comprehensive social history sheds light on changes throughout Europe in the critical early modern period.
Seven essays draw from archival material in Castile, Leon, Toledo, and Seville to demonstrate that women managed large estates, conducted the economic life of monasteries, and produced wealth through their labor as migrant and farm workers. They also show that the survival of cultural traditions, the writing and illustrating of manuscripts, and the flowering of the printing industry were in the capable hands of women.

Using a wide array of archival documentation, including Inquisition records, wills, dowry contracts, folklore, and court cases, Poska examines how early modern Spanish peasant women asserted and perceived their authority within the family and community and how the large numbers of female-headed households in the region functioned in the absence of men.
