"We Are Now the True Spaniards"
This book is a radical reinterpretation of the process that led to Mexican independence in 1821—one that emphasizes Mexico's continuity with Spanish political culture. During its final decades under Spanish rule, New Spain was the most populous, richest, and most developed part of the worldwide Spanish Monarchy, and most novohispanos (people of New Spain) believed that their religious, social, economic, and political ties to the Monarchy made union preferable to separation. Neither the American nor the French Revolution convinced the novohispanos to sever ties with the Spanish Monarchy; nor did the Hidalgo Revolt of September 1810 and subsequent insurgencies cause Mexican independence. It was Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808 that led to the Hispanic Constitution of 1812. When the government in Spain rejected those new constituted arrangements, Mexico declared independence. The Mexican Constitution of 1824 affirms both the new state's independence and its continuance of Spanish political culture.
La Florida
Commemorating Juan Ponce de León’s landfall on the Atlantic coast of Florida, this ambitious volume explores five centuries of Hispanic presence in the New World peninsula, reflecting on the breadth and depth of encounters between the different lands and cultures. The contributors, leading experts in a range of fields, begin with an examination of the first and second Spanish periods. This was a time when La Florida was an elusive possession that the Spaniards were never able to completely secure; but Spanish influence would nonetheless leave an indelible mark on the land. In the second half of this volume, the essays highlight the Hispanic cultural legacy, politics, and history of modern Florida, and expand on Florida’s role as a modern Trans-Atlantic cross roads. Melding history, literature, anthropology, music, culture, and sociology, La Florida is a unique presentation of the Hispanic roots that run deep in Florida’s past and present and will assuredly shape its future.
Enemies Within
Can citizenship rights be denied to significant groups in a society that regards itself as civilized and self-governing? Is it possible to exclude such people in the name of freedom and reason? Is it plausible to explain classifications that differentiate between first- and second-class citizens as “natural”? This is the paradox inherent in modern politics, born of the revolutions that ended the Ancien Régime in the western world. Throughout the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth, liberalism inspired a representative form of government that appealed to citizenship, yet marginalized many social groups, including natives, women, immigrants, workers, slaves and nomads...
Women on War in Spain’s Long Nineteenth Century
The ways in which women have historically authorized themselves to write on war has blurred conventionally gendered lines, intertwining the personal with the political. Women on War in Spain’s Long Nineteenth Century explores, through feminist lenses, the cultural representations of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish women’s texts on war. Reshaping the current knowledge and understanding of key female authors in Spain’s fin de siècle, this book examines works by notable writers – including Rosario de Acuña, Blanca de los Rios, Concepción Arenal, and Carmen de Burgos – as they engage with the War of Independence, the Third Carlist War, Spain’s colonial wars, a...
Political Culture in Spanish America, 1500–1830
2018 Outstanding Academic Title, selected by Choice Political Culture in Spanish America, 1500–1830 examines the nature of Spanish American political culture by reevaluating the political theory, institutions, and practices of the Hispanic world. Consisting of eight case studies with a focus on New Spain and Quito, Jaime E. Rodríguez O. demonstrates that the process of independence of Spanish America differs from previous claims. In 1188 King Alfonso IX convened the Cortes, the first congress in Europe that included the three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the towns. This heritage, along with events in the sixteenth century, including the rebellion of Castilla and the Protestant R...
Health and Healing in the Early Modern Iberian World
This interdisciplinary collection takes a deep dive into early modern Hispanic health and demonstrates the multiples ways medical practices and experiences are tied to gender.
Las maestras republicanas en el exilio
Las maestras de la República fueron mujeres transgresoras que lucharon por apropiarse de su destino en una época histórica de dramáticas rupturas: el estallido de la Gran Guerra, la gripe de 1918, el crack del 29, el ascenso de los totalitarismos, la Guerra Civil española... Como la mayoría de mujeres modernas, estas maestras lucharon de forma radical por la efectividad de las nuevas leyes republicanas. Para ellas, el acceso a la ciudadanía civil y política supuso un cambio personal profundo: tener la libertad de decidir y de ejecutar esas decisiones ―no solo en lo privado, sino también en lo profesional y lo político― fue una experiencia transformadora. Se involucraron en asoc...
Memoria de procesalistas
"En este libro se incluyen diversos estudios representativos de la labor investigadora que el autor ha venido desarrollando en el ámbito de la historia del Derecho Procesal. En algunos de estos trabajos se ha intentado reconstruir brevemente la trayectoria vital, académica y doctrinal de algún procesalista. En otros se analizan hechos concretos concernientes a la vida de un procesalista determinado, aunque siempre se trata de acontecimientos que han tenido una especial incidencia en el devenir del Derecho Procesal español y, en algunos casos, también en el Derecho Procesal latinoamericano. A su vez, varios de estos ensayos se refieren a trabajos procesales dotados de significación en el desenvolvimiento histórico de la doctrina procesal". (De la Presentación de la obra)
