Featuring five introductory essays and a chronology of key events, this three-volume encyclopedia covers the reciprocal effects that the politics, foreign policy, and culture of Spain, Portugal, and the American nations have had on one another since the time of Columbus

Aristocrats and Statehood in Western Iberia, 300-600 C.E. combines archaeological and literary sources to reconstruct the history of late antique Iberian aristocracies, facilitating the study of a social class that has proved elusive when approached through the lens of a single type of evidence

Algunos pasajes de la literatura grecolatina sitúan en la Península Ibérica a libiofenicios, lo que ha sido interpretado tradicionalmente como una evidencia de la instalación de colonos norteafricanos por parte de Cartago. No obstante, una lectura crítica de estos textos permite establecer diferencias entre estos testimonios y distinguir dos grupos: en el primero los libiofenicios forman parte de tropas norteafricanas trasladadas a Iberia en el contexto de la segunda Guerra Púnica, y en el segundo grupo, sin un contexto histórico preciso, habitan parte de la costa mediterránea junto con otros pueblos. Las incongruencias de estos últimos datos hacen que interpretemos la presencia de libiofenicios en Iberia únicamente como parte de la estrategia de los Barca en la política de deportaciones y traslado de tropas. ; Libyphoenician people have been situated in Iberian Peninsula by some Greek and Latin writers; it has been traditionally explained as an evidence of the Carthaginian colonisation. However, through a critical analysis, we can establish two different groups oftexts: libyphoenician people as northafrican military forces moved into Iberia during the Second PunicWar (Polibius, Livy), and a second group, without a particular historical context, in which we find Libyphoenician people living in theMediterranean coast nearto other communities (Pseudoescimnus, Avienus). The contradictions of these last testimonies make us conclude that Libyphoenician people can only be understood as part of Hannibal's policy of deportation.

In the northeastern Algarve, Portugal, semi-dispersed settlements and property fragmentation evidently had coexisted with a predominantly nuclear family household pattern since the midnineteenth century, suggesting that a small holding pattern of land tenure need not always lead to a stem-family household as is so often true in other areas of Iberia. Other comparisons, drawn between the Algarve and the adjacent region of Alentejo, suggest that regional variation is strong on all measures and poses an interesting challenge to social scientific explanation.

Este libro recoge el contenido de cuatro conferencias de Carlos Taibo que se interesan por materias próximas entre sí: la perspectiva del decrecimiento, la teoría del colapso, la discusión sobre el ecofascismo y las tesituras que, a manera de ilustración de todo lo anterior, se revelan en la Iberia vaciada. Los textos correspondientes, de franca vocación pedagógica y divulgadora, configuran introducciones a esas cuatro cuestiones y aportan un material de debate singularmente útil a efectos de lidiar con algunos de los problemas principales que hoy se plantean en el horizonte. Producto de una amplia trayectoria de publicaciones, surgen, en cierto sentido, de la reflexión de movimientos hondamente preocupados por el derrotero que la especie humana, a través de un sistema llamado capitalismo, está imprimiendo al planeta
