For decades, Africa has suffered serious setbacks in its journey towards progress. The region was plagued by protracted poor economic performance, mass unemployment, and high level of poverty. In recent years, however, Africa has made some progress, and the international development community is now rediscovering Africa which, previously, was written off as ""a hopeless region"".

Indians retained control over most of the lands in Spain's American empire. Mounted on horseback, savvy about European ways, and often possessing firearms, independent Indians continued to find new ways to resist subjugation by Spanish soldiers and conversion by Spanish missionaries.In this panoramic study, David J. Weber explains how late eighteenthcentury Spanish administrators tried to fashion a more enlightened policy toward the people they called bárbaros, or "savages." Even Spain's most powerful monarchs failed, however, to enforce a consistent, well-reasoned policy toward Indians. At one extreme, powerful independent Indians forced Spaniards to seek peace, acknowledge autonomous tribal governments, and recognize the existence of tribal lands, fulfilling the Crown's oft-stated wish to use "gentle" means in dealing with Indians. At the other extreme the Crown abandoned its principles, authorizing bloody wars on Indians when Spanish officers believed they could defeat them. Power, says Weber, more than the power of ideas, determined how Spaniards treated "savages" in the Age of Enlightenment.IndiansColonizationIndiansMissionsIndiansGovernment relationsSpainColoniesAmericaAdministrationNew SpainColonizationAmericaDiscovery and explorationAmericaHistoryTo 1810IndiansColonization.IndiansMissions.IndiansGovernment relations.323.1197/0171246/09033Weber David J715779MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971677703321Barbaros4364238UNINA03773nam 22006615 450 991088607390332120250807130438.09783031641978303164197310.1007/978-3-031-64197-8(MiAaPQ)EBC31626136(Au-PeEL)EBL31626136(CKB)34512783000041(DE-He213)978-3-031-64197-8(OCoLC)1455139861(EXLCZ)993451278300004120240828d2024 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTravel in Victorian Periodicals, 1850-1900 Media Logic and Cultural Work /by Barbara Korte1st ed. 2024.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2024.1 online resource (272 pages)9783031641961 3031641965 Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

Conclusions and Outlook to Other Media.This is the first study to explore the connections between the development of travel and the rapid expansion of the periodicals market in the second half of the nineteenth century in Britain. By the 1860s, travel articles had become a staple of the periodicals market and reached readers who might never have travelled far themselves or bought a travel book. This monograph demonstrates that the representation of travel in Victorian periodicals came in forms and with cultural functions that differed from book publication, and that this media-specific representation helped to inscribe travel into the Victorian lifeworld. Based on a corpus of several general-interest periodicals targeted at different audiences, this book investigates how different readers - the family, women, young people and the working classes - engaged with travel. It argues that travel articles in periodicals performed significant cultural work because they accommodated readers to travel.
