The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made
available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of
exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899,
consists of 100 books containing published or previously
unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir
Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and
Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This volume contains an
English translation of a description of Ethiopia written by
Francisco Alvarez (c.1465 c.1540) during the six years he spent as
a missionary with the Portuguese embassy to the Emperor of
Ethiopia. Alverez describes Orthodox Christian monasteries and
churches, compares the Orthodox and Catholic rites, and provides
the first known descriptions of the ancient city of Axum in this,
the earliest surviving Western description of Ethiopia, first
published in English in 1881.
2022 International Latino Book Award Finalist for Best LGBTQ
Studies Book Within a trans-embodied framework, this anthology
identifies transmovimientos as the creative force or social
mechanism through which queer, trans, and gender nonconforming
Latinx communities navigate their location and calibrate their
consciousness. This anthology unveils a critical perspective with
the emphasis on queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities
of immigrants and social dissidents who reflect on and write about
diaspora and migratory movements while navigating geographical and
embodied spaces across gendered and racialized contexts, all
crucial elements of the trans-movements taking place in the United
States. This collection forms a nuanced conversation between
scholarship and social activism that speaks in concrete ways about
diasporic and migratory LGBTQ communities who suffer from immoral
immigration policies and political discourses that produce
untenable living situations. The focal point of analysis throughout
Transmovimientos examines migratory movements and anti-immigrant
sentiment, homophobia, and stigma toward people who are
transgender, immigrants, and refugees. These deliberate
consciousness-based expressions are designed to realign awareness
about the body in transit and the diasporic experience of
relocating and emerging into new possibilities.
