Gender and the Rhetoric of Modernity in Spanish America, 1850–1910
This ambitious volume shows how nineteenth-century Spanish American writers used the discourses of modernity to envision the place of women at all levels of social and even political life in the modern, utopian nation. Looking at texts ranging from novels and essays to newspaper articles and advertisements, and with special attention to public and private space, domesticity, education, technology, and work, Skinner identifies gender as a central concern at every level of society.
Contentious Republicans
Contentious Republicans explores the mid-nineteenth-century rise of mass electoral democracy in the southwestern region of Colombia, a country many assume has never had a meaningful democracy of any sort. James E. Sanders describes a surprisingly rich republicanism characterized by legal rights and popular participation, and he explains how this vibrant political culture was created largely by competing subaltern groups seeking to claim their rights as citizens and their place in the political sphere. Moving beyond the many studies of nineteenth-century nation building that focus on one segment of society, Contentious Republicans examines the political activism of three distinct social and r...
Coffee and Conflict in Colombia, 1886-1910
The appearance of Coffee and Conflict in Colombia, 1886-1910, had several important consequences for the entire field of Latin American history, as well as for the study of Colombia. Through Bergquist's analysis of this transitional period in terms of what has been called the dependency theory, he has left his mark on all subsequent studies in Latin American affairs; questions of economic development and political alignment cannot be dealt with without confronting Bergquist's work. he has also provided a major contribution to Colombian history by his examination of the growth of the coffee industry and Thousand Days War.

Historia de la edición en Colombia 1738-1851
Por primera vez se traza una historia de la edición en Colombia. Teniendo como punto de partida la llegada de la primera imprenta al Nuevo Reino de Granada y extendiéndose hasta mediados del siglo xix del nuevo régimen republicano, esta obra reconstruye el entramado que da coherencia a un panorama editorial. A través de distintos periodos tipográficos, las experiencias y expectativas individuales y compartidas fueron ampliando el campo de la cultura política impresa y el mundo de las relaciones socioculturales y educativas, modelando la percepción de intereses y el desarrollo de ideologías. Agentes de lo impreso y coyunturas políticas que alentaron o restringieron sus prácticas dan sentido a una actividad editorial que se ligó al ejercicio estatal y, de manera entrelazada, a la marcha de la opinión pública, la transmisión de ideas y la producción de conocimientos.

Alexander von Humboldt's Transatlantic Personae
Who was Alexander von Humboldt? Was he really a lone genius? Was he another European apologist for colonialism in the Americas or the father of Latin American independence? Was he a roving Romanticist, or did his sensibilities belong to the Enlightenment? Naturalist, philosopher, historian, and proto-sociologist--to name just some of the fields to which he contributed--, Humboldt is impossible to contain in a single identity or definition. His voluminous writings range across so many different fields of knowledge that his scholarly-scientific personae multiplied even during his lifetime, and they have continued to proliferate since his death in 1859. A household word throughout the nineteent...
