The Repartimiento System Of Native Labor In Colonial Spanish America, 1549-1601, Arthur R. Steele
Latin American Studies ETDs
This essay will describe the early history of the second form of repartimiento discussed above, viz., the system of forced labor for pay introduced subsequent to 1549. Although the term repartimiento was generally employed in all parts of Spanish America to describe this program of compulsory native labor, special native terms were also used in particular areas. In Peru the Quechua designation mita was very frequently applied as synonymous with repartimiento, while in New Spain a modified Nahuatl word, cuatequil, came into use, although its acceptance appears to have been much less widespread.

Benito Perez Galdos And The Concept Of Honor, Sabine R. Ulibarrí
Benito Perez Galdos And The Concept Of Honor, Sabine R. Ulibarrí
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
Galdós, perhaps better than anyone else, caught the real spirit of Spain. He knew intimately Spain and her people. He thoughtfully examined the character of the Spaniard, and weighed his good qualities and his bad. The novelist's aim was always to bring to the attention of Spain her strong points and her defects, that she might build on the former and rid herself of the latter. Thus, his novels are directed at social and psychological reform. He wanted to create a new national consciousness, based on a combination of the old virtues and the new ideas.
