El reconocimiento de Colombia: diplomacia y propaganda en la coyuntura de las restauraciones (1819-1831)
Como lo demuestran los casos recientes de Timor Oriental y Kosovo, el reconocimiento de nuevos Estados es un asunto de la mayor actualidad. Para comprender cabalmente procesos de esta naturaleza resulta fundamental el antecedente hispanoamericano, y en particular el de la República de Colombia (1819-1831), que encabezó durante su breve existencia la pugna diplomática independentista en la difícil coyuntura de las restauraciones europeas. ¿Cómo elevarse al rango de nación en un ambiente eminentemente hostil? Esta obra sugiere que la publicación de artículos de prensa, folletos, libros, mapas y grabados por parte de los agentes de los nuevos regímenes permitió la consolidación de u...
Crafting a Republic for the World
In the wake of independence, Spanish American leaders perceived the colonial past as looming over their present. Crafting a Republic for the World examines how the vibrant postcolonial public sphere in Colombia invented narratives of the Spanish “colonial legacy.” Those supposed legacies included a lack of effective geographic knowledge, blockages to a circulatory political economy, existing patterns of land tenure, entrenched inequalities, and ignorance among popular sectors. At times collaboratively, and at times combatively, Colombian leaders tackled these “colonial” legacies to forge a republic in a hostile world of monarchies and empires. The highly partisan, yet uniformly repub...
Plural Diplomacies
In Plural Diplomacies: Normative Predicaments and Functional Imperatives, Noé Cornago asserts the need to restore the long-interrupted continuity between the relevance of diplomacy as raison de système - in a world which is much more than a world of States - and its unique value as a way to mediate the many alienations experienced by individuals and social groups.
Unraveling Abolition
A study of the legal origins of antislavery, and how Colombian slaves transformed ideas on slavery, freedom and political belonging.
Contacts, Collisions and Relationships
A study of the relations between Britain and Chile during the Spanish American independence era (1806–1831). It focuses on the dynamic, unpredictable and changing nature of cultural encounters to cast doubt on the assumption that imperialism was their obvious outcome and to understand further nation-building processes.
Decolonizing the Map
Almost universally, newly independent states make the production of new maps and atlases affirming their independence and identity a top priority, but the processes and practices by which previously colonized peoples become more engaged or re-engaged in mapping their own territories are rarely straightforward. This collection explores the relationship between mapping and decolonization while engaging recent theoretical debates about the nature of decolonization itself. The essays, originally delivered as the 2010 Kenneth Nebenzahl Jr. Lectures in the History of Cartography at the Newberry Library, encompass more than two centuries (from the late eighteenth through the twentieth) and three continents (Latin America, Africa, and Asia). Topics range from mapping and national identity in late colonial Mexico to the enduring crisis created by the partition of British India and the persistence of racial prejudices and the racialized organization of space in apartheid and postapartheid South Africa.
Nationalism and Transnationalism in Spain and Latin America, 18081923
The twin focus of this book is on the importance of the Spanish heritage on nation and state building in nineteenth-century Spanish-speaking Latin America, alongside processes of nation and state building in Spain and Latin America. Rather than concentrating purely on nationalism and national identity, the book explores the linkages that remained or were re-established between Spain and her former colonies; as has increasingly been recognised in recent decades, the nineteenth century world was marked by the rise of the modern nation state, but also by the development of new transnational connections, and this book accounts for these processes within a Hispanic context.
Treasure and Empire in the Civil War
Across North America's periphery, unknown and overlooked Civil War campaigns were waged over whether the United States or Confederacy would dominate lands, mines, and seaborne transportation networks of North America's mineral wealth. The U.S. needed this wealth to stabilize their wartime economy while the Confederacy sought to expand their own treasury. Confederate armies advanced to seize the West and its gold and silver reserves, while warships steamed to intercept Panama route ships transporting bullion from California to Panama to New York. United States forces responded by expelling Confederate incursions and solidified territorial control by combating Indigenous populations and enacti...
The Cambridge Companion to Latin American Independence
Innovatively revisits Latin American independence and its significance for the Age of Atlantic Revolutions.
La regeneración
Una novedosa investigación sobre los orígenes de la Constitución que rigió los destinos de Colombia por más de un siglo La Regeneración, más que un período clave de la historia de Colombia, fue la búsqueda infortunada del centro de gravedad de la República con el propósito de poner fin a las guerras civiles y a las constantes vacilaciones institucionales. Originalmente encaminado a enmendar el régimen confederativo de los Estados Unidos de Colombia y a fundar una democracia competitiva y tolerante, el movimiento desembocó primero en la más amplia transformación política de nuestra historia republicana y a continuación en un régimen sectario y disruptivo. Este libro del hist...
