The Formation Of Spanish American Culture – Writers

The Spanish colonial period produced writers, numerous and varied. The first books dealing with America were the chronicles and histories written by early explorers and churchmen, which reflected the mood of exhilaration of the period. They were chiefly factual reports of events and impressions, and, although seldom of literary distinction, were marked by rough vigor and penetration. They include Columbus’s reports to his sovereigns, the Italian Peter Martyr’s assembling of early reports, and the letters of Cortes to Charles 1st.

In 1552 53 there appeared Lopez de Gomara’s History of the Indies and the Conquest of Mexico, a sober recital of events, although criticized for its adulation of Cortes. Lopez de Gomara was answered by Bernal Diaz del Castillo, one time soldier under Cort6s, then living in retirement in Guatemala, in his naive and spirited “True History of the Conquest of New Spain” (published fifty years after his death) in which he sought to capture deserved credit for the common soldier.

As always in Tamale progress was slow, but Kwame managed to keep things moving forward for several weeks until the new manager arrived. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) must have had great difficulty in finding a replacement for Frank Johnson because from the outset it was obvious that the new man was not of the same calibre. A white American in late middle age, Jim Connell was betrayed by his speech. Hardly able to form a grammatical sentence and using expletives for punctuation he seemed to see his mission as persuading the natives that there were also bushmen in America. Kwame was shocked. All the foreign advisers and volunteers he had previously met had impressed him with their good manners and correct speech. Now here was a representative of God’s Own Country who expressed in his demeanour all the frustration of an unemployed school drop-out.
