The Cambridge Companion to Latin American Independence
Innovatively revisits Latin American independence and its significance for the Age of Atlantic Revolutions.
Insurgency and Counterinsurgency in the Nineteenth Century
Insurgency and Counterinsurgency in the Nineteenth Century examines insurgency and counterinsurgency across the globe in the nineteenth century. The volume includes chapters from distinguished and rising historians from Europe, North and South America and covers irregular wars in Spain, Ireland, France, Latin America, China, USA, Africa, Central Asia and Burma. The authors explore links between insurgencies and nationalism, including learning curves and emulation in counterinsurgency. With a special emphasis on non-Western warfare, this volume includes case studies such as the Katanga and White Lotus rebellions largely unknown to Western readers. The military history of the nineteenth centur...
Latin American Bureaucracy and the State Building Process (1780-1860)
The process of construction of national states had a decisive moment during the period of revolutions that spanned from the end of the eighteenth century until the mid-nineteenth century. Even if it was a generalized process throughout the Western world, the majority of social scientists that have analyzed it have based their theoretical models on the European and North American experiences. This volume pays particular attention to the historical experience of Latin America and accounts for its distinctive regional and national characteristics through the analysis of cases. It also evokes the existence of certain features of the process that historiography has not sufficiently taken into con...
The Cambridge History of Science: Volume 8, Modern Science in National, Transnational, and Global Context
This volume in the highly respected Cambridge History of Science series is devoted to exploring the history of modern science using national, transnational, and global frames of reference. Organized by topic and culture, its essays by distinguished scholars offer the most comprehensive and up-to-date nondisciplinary history of modern science currently available. Essays are grouped together in separate sections that represent larger regions: Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, East and Southeast Asia, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, and Latin America. Each of these regional groupings ends with a separate essay reflecting on the analysis in the preceding chapters. Intended to provide a balanced and inclusive treatment of the modern world, contributors analyze the history of science not only in local, national, and regional contexts but also with respect to the circulation of knowledge, tools, methods, people, and artifacts across national borders.
Insurgency, Counter-insurgency and Policing in Centre-West Mexico, 1926-1929
Waged between 1926 and 1929, The Cristero War (also known as The Cristero Rebellion or La Cristiada) resulted from a religious insurrectionary movement, which formed in protest of the Mexican Revolution's anticlerical constitution of 1917. It was arguably the most violent and divisive episode in Mexican history between the 1910 Revolution itself and the ongoing 'Narco Wars'. Filling in major gaps in our understanding of the conflict, Mark Lawrence explores both combatant and civilian experiences in the centre-west Mexican state of Zacatecas and its borderlands. Lawrence shows that, despite the centrality of this key region, it has received little scholarly attention compared with other state...
The Age of Dissent
The Age of Dissent argues that the defining feature of the Age of Revolutions in Latin America was the emergence of dissent as an inescapable component of political life. While contestation and seditious ideas had always been present in the region, never before had local regimes been forced to consider radical dissension as an unavoidable dimension of politics. Focusing on urban Chile between the first anticolonial conspiracy of 1780 and the consolidation of an authoritarian regime in 1833, the book argues that this revolution was caused by how people practiced communication and framed its power.
Un amor desenfrenado por la libertad
Un amor desenfrenado por la libertad. Antología de la historia política de Bolivia (1825-2020): Con esta publicación pretendemos evaluar y analizar propositivamente la historia política de Bolivia, de cara al bicentenario. No solamente identificando sus problemas o deficiencias sino también sus fortalezas y sus potencialidades para ver con realismo al futuro. Mirar en retrospectiva, nos ayuda a identificar cuáles han sido los problemas y las limitaciones que incidieron en el rezago de Bolivia, a su vez analizar cuáles han sido sus avances más significativos en estos 195 años de historia política. El contenido temático se dividió en siete periodos enmarcados en sendas constitucion...
El tribunal de la soberanía
La presente obra está conformada por ocho estudios de caso -de Argentina, Brasil, Bolivia, Chile, México, Perú, Uruguay y Venezuela- orientados a rescatar la importancia y la centralidad del poder legislativo en la configuración estatal de las repúblicas latinoamericanas en el siglo xix. Contrarios a una caracterización historiográfica de la vida representativa como innecesaria, artificiosa o supeditada, los autores del libro han escogido escenarios de inestabilidad y violencia políticas para analizar de manera revisionista y renovada el papel desempeñado por los Congresos en la comprensión y el ejercicio públicos de la soberanía popular. Con el abordaje de los conflictos interin...
Los años de Leguía (1919-1930)
La Patria Nueva pretendió marcar un punto de quiebre y reinició de la vida republicana peruana. Inserto en procesos globales de modernización capitalista, fue un periodo de importantes cambios sociales, políticos y culturales. Sin embargo, más allá de la retórica, también existieron sorprendentes continuidades, que nos obligan a reevaluar el gobierno de Leguía y a considerar tanto sus antecedentes como sus consecuencias y legados.
La expedición libertadora
El estudio de la Expedición Libertadora, con sus múltiples actores, planos, geografías, intereses, formaciones militares/milicianas y respuestas locales sugiere la idea de una independencia intermitente. El derrumbe de un imperio secular abrió las puertas a un proceso de descolonización con una variedad de expresiones a lo largo y ancho del Perú. Los 23 artículos aquí reunidos están signados por un nuevo enfoque, que entiende la Expedición Libertadora como un proceso multidimensional donde se combinan desde perspectivas continentales hasta la microhistoria de un pueblo o un personaje que participa de una gesta de la cual hay aún mucho por investigar. El lector comprenderá en estas páginas la forma cómo se imbricaron las tramas de la historia local, nacional, regional y global, quedando evidenciados los claroscuros y las ambivalencias de un proceso único, como fue la independencia del Perú, en la historia americana e incluso global.
