Bridging the Early Modern Atlantic World
Bridging the Early Modern Atlantic World brings together ten original essays by an international group of scholars exploring the complex outcomes of the intermingling of people, circulation of goods, exchange of information, and exposure to new ideas that are the hallmark of the early modern Atlantic. Spanning the period from the earliest French crossings to Newfoundland at the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the wars of independence in Spanish South America, c. 1830, and encompassing a range of disciplinary approaches, the contributors direct particular attention to regions, communities, and groups whose activities in, and responses to, an ever-more closely bound Atlantic w...
La independencia a palos
En la generalidad de los casos, Independencia y retorica e Independencia y lugares comunes han formado habitual pareja. Los hechos de la guerra contra Espana se han visto acompanados de una fatigosa muestra de estereotipos y de la reiteracion de versiones canonicas, ahora engrosadas debido a la celebracion del Bicentenario y condimentadas con ingredientes revolucionarios. La Independencia de Venezuela no fue como la han pintado y se podra encontrar evidencia de ello en este libro, que vuelve hacia sus caminos y al encuentro de sus protagonistas sin los prejuicios que han dominado su entendimiento. No se trata de un libro sobre hombres convertidos en estatuas, ni sobre una epopeya sin mancha ...
A Coffee Frontier
This study views the economic transformation of Duaca, Venezuela into a major coffee export center in the late nineteenth-century. Yarrington examines the rise of the peasantry to prosperity, yet they later lost their stature as the local elite allied itself with the state to restructure society and coffee production on its own terms in the twentieth-century. The book is a pioneering study on peasant studies, export-led development, the relationship of state and society, and the consolidation of nation-states in Latin America.

Enlightened Reform in Southern Europe and its Atlantic Colonies, c. 1750-1830
Efforts to ascertain the influence of enlightenment thought on state action, especially government reform, in the long eighteenth century have long provoked stimulating scholarly quarrels. Generations of historians have grappled with the elusive intersections of enlightenment and absolutism, of political ideas and government policy. In order to complement, expand and rejuvenate the debate which has so far concentrated largely on Northern, Central and Eastern Europe, this volume brings together historians of Southern Europe (broadly defined) and its ultramarine empires. Each chapter has been explicitly commissioned to engage with a common set of historiographical issues in order to reappraise...
Rewriting Womanhood
"An historical and theoretical literary study of three Latin American women writers, Refugio Barragâan of Mexico, Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera of Peru, and Ana Roquâe of Puerto Rico. Examines how these novelists subversively rewrote womanhood vis áa visthe prescribed comportment for women during a conservative era"--Provided by publisher.

Globalization and Governance
Despite the controversial nature of globalization, there is no doubt that the pace and intensity of global interactions has been multiplied exponentially over the last few decades. Criticism of globalization is generally arranged into three camps: political, economic and cultural. Political critics point to the status of the small state and conclude either that it is in retreat, or that the state has reconstituted itself to confront the challenges posed by globalization, thereby transforming itself into a "competition state." Economic critics hold that globalization is nothing new, that international transactions are in the logic of capitalism and that the trade along the silk route goes bac...
