Nuevos Jerezanos Bizarros de Ayer y Siempre 2 - The End (Pages 93 - end)

 

RATING: VERY GOOD

Hernan Riquel is about the man who built the Palace of Riquelme in Mercado Square. The palace was built by the Riquelme family as a display of power in the face of rivalry from other families from Jerez during the Middle Ages. For this reason, they chose the main square of medieval Jerez following the Reconquista, and it was designed in an advanced style, breaking the mold of traditional medieval architecture in Jerez.

La mano negra - Facts

 The book mainly focuses on the events happening in Jerez, which led to many labourers to be accused to belong to La Mano Negra, a secret society. The Black Hand (Spanish: La Mano Negra) was a presumed secret, anarchist organization based in the Andalusian region of Spain and best known as the perpetrators of murders, arson, and crop fires in the early 1880s. The events associated with the Black Hand took place in 1882 and 1883 amidst class struggle in the Andalusian countryside, the spread of anarcho-communism distinct from collectivist anarchism, and differences between legalists and insurrectionists in the Federación de Trabajadores de la Región Española.
