Resilience and Recovery at Royal Courts, 1200–1840
This book demonstrates the evolution of resilience and recovery as a concept by applying it to a new context, that of courts and monarchies. These were remarkably resilient institutions, with a strength and malleability that allowed them to ‘bounce back’ time and again. This volume highlights the different forms of resilience displayed in European courts during the medieval and early modern periods. Drawing on rarely published sources, it demonstrates different models of monarchical resilience, ranging from the survival of sovereign authority in political crisis, to the royal response to pandemic challenges, to other strategies for resisting internal or external threats. Resilience and Recovery illustrates how symbolic legitimacy and effective power were strongly intertwined, creating a distinct collective memory that shaped the defence of monarchical authority over many centuries.
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music

Spanish Carlism and Polish Nationalism
While both Spain and Poland developed genteel cultures grounded in Catholic religion, and experienced periods of growth followed by long decline, it is also the case that large differences in political economy and military structures also existed. Thus while Spain merely declined in power, Poland was partitioned by three powerful and rapacious neighbors. The Catholic and conservative elements that have been strong in both Poland and Spain have often been portrayed as obscure nativist and racist and even fascist. The purpose of this volume is to move beyond the simplistic vision this created about both countries into a more balanced and careful appraisal of tradition and development. Puncturi...
A Great Fear
An exploration of the Spanish colonial reaction to the threat of Napoleonic subversion A Great Fear: Luís de Onís and the Shadow War against Napoleon in Spanish America, 1808–1812 explores why Spanish Americans did not take the opportunity to seize independence in this critical period when Spain was overrun by French armies and, arguably, in its weakest state. In the first years after his appointment as Spanish ambassador to the United States, Luís de Onís claimed the heavy responsibility of defending Spanish America from the wave of French spies, subversives, and soldiers whom he believed Napoleon was sending across the Atlantic to undermine the empire. As a leading representative of ...
Dios, rey y monopolio
La Revolución de Mayo pasó de ser un hecho celebrado a uno cuestionado. Y de cuestionado a negado. La razón de ello es la propia evolución de la burguesía argentina. En su momento revolucionario, como portadora del progreso, alentó la transformación y, por ende, reivindicó el proceso que la llevó al poder. En la década de 1980, ante la derrota de la oleada revolucionaria, se intentó borrar a las revoluciones de la historia. [Los "nuevos" historiadores] combatieron al conocimiento científico argumentando que nunca existieron intereses de clase. Las transformaciones sociales, entonces, no habrían sido conseguidas por la acción revolucionaria de una clase social conciente y organizada, sino más bien por la intervención de influencias externas e impredecibles. Este libro es parte del proceso revolucionario que abrieron las jornadas insurreccionales del 19 y 20 de diciembre de 2001. Su objetivo principal es enfrentar la versión que la clase dominante quiere difundir sobre nuestro pasado. Pretendemos comprender la naturaleza social de los enfrentamientos caracterizados como Revolución de Mayo, a través del examen de la contrarrevolución.
