About This Item
xii+227 pages with frontispiece map, plates, tables, appendices, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial wrappers. From the library of Professor Donald Worcester. First edition. The Rural People of Colombia are being swept into the whirl of social revolution that promises to be the distinguishing feature of our century. Four hundred years of toil might have been expected to numb the peasants' sensitivity to progress -- to have turned them into apparently resigned, docile individuals. But the fact that they have been both exploited and neglected is slowly dawning on them. Donald E. Worcester (1915-2003) was an American historian who specialized in Southwestern United States and Latin American history. He was president of the Western History Association from 1974-1975. Worcester graduated from Bard College in 1939. He received an M.A. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1941. He then served in the US Naval Reserve in World War II. He received a PhD. from Berkeley in 1947. From 1947 until 1963 he was a professor at the University of Florida. He then was a professor at Texas Christian University and history department chair. From 1960 until 1965 he was managing editor of the Hispanic American Historical Review. Worcester's view that history is made of complexities, not dualities, is seen as foundational for much of the understanding by later scholars of Southwest United States history. Condition: Worcester's name on front end paper, head page ends soiled. Jacket with some closed edge tears else better than very good in a very good to fine jacket.
