El volumen que se presenta reúne una serie de trabajos escritos por especialistas de diversas instituciones académicas y científicas procedentes de distintos países iberoamericanos. Fueron convocados bajo una consigna general muy amplia. La idea era que este volumen tratara problemáticas relativas a lo que los procesos independentistas habían dejado o traído consigo. Dicha convocatoria fue decantando en la cuestión de las reformas genéricamente denominadas liberales por la historiografía y en cómo éstas se fueron plasmando en diversas fases y momentos en cada una de las sociedades emergentes después de las revoluciones. En ese sentido, el volumen está formado por capítulos que abordan diversas problemáticas locales y globales de los territorios del imperio español y lusitano, a partir de la crisis de las respectivas Monarquías y durante todo el siglo XIX
¿Qué significa ser ciudadano en un mundo globalizado donde las fronteras ya no son lo que solían ser? ¿Cómo entender la sorpresiva atracción que ejerce un país en el que sus habitantes parecen creer cada vez menos? ¿Qué simboliza nuestro pasaporte, cuál es el horizonte que vislumbran los extranjeros en nuestras tierras, qué efectos tiene la naturalización en la identidad de los individuos? ¿Las mujeres se naturalizan a pesar de no poder votar? Y nosotros, ¿qué interpretamos de todo aquello? ¿Somos, efectivamente, argentinos hasta la muerte? En esta novedosa investigación, Pilar González Bernaldo de Quirós explora la historia de las políticas de nacionalidad y las práctic...
Eine Besonderheit der spanischen Kolonialherrschaft ist das explizite Verbot für »Ausländer«, nach Amerika zu reisen oder sich dort anzusiedeln. Dennoch lebten viele Immigranten englischer, portugiesischer, italienischer oder französischer Herkunft in den hispano-amerikanischen Kolonien. Diese »extranjeros«, deren Ausweisung zwar oft angeordnet, aber selten praktiziert wurde, stehen im Zentrum der Studie. Martin Biersack geht dem widersprüchlichen und oft spannungsreichen Verhältnis von »Spaniern« und »Ausländern«, Norm und Praxis, Duldung und Ausweisung nach und kann so erklären, wie und warum die Integration nichtspanischer Immigranten in die vormoderne koloniale Gesellschaft gelang, obwohl sie formal von dieser ausgeschlossen waren. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
This book seeks to bridge a gap in the historiography of Spain and Great Britain by arguing that while the eighteenth century witnessed periods of tension, conflict and hostility between the two powers, their relationship remained multifaceted and significant in other spheres. Throughout the eighteenth century, Spain and Great Britain passed through phases of open warfare, armed peace and deep suspicion. The British capture of Gibraltar and Menorca dealt a severe blow to the newly established Bourbon dynasty in Spain. Even in times of war, however, not all communication channels were closed, with numerous formal and informal contacts being made despite the volatile political climate and enmi...
In this book Tamar Herzog explores the emergence of a specifically Spanish concept of community in both Spain and Spanish America in the eighteenth century. Challenging the assumption that communities were the natural result of common factors such as language or religion, or that they were artificially imagined, Herzog reexamines early modern categories of belonging. She argues that the distinction between those who were Spaniards and those who were foreigners came about as local communities distinguished between immigrants who were judged to be willing to take on the rights and duties of membership in that community and those who were not.
This book takes a look at the 'age of reform', from 1780 when reform became a common object of aspiration, to the 1830s - the era of the 'Reform Ministry' and of the Great Reform Act of 1832 - and beyond, when such aspirations were realized more frequently. It pays close attention to what contemporaries termed 'reform', identifying two strands, institutional and moral, which interacted in complex ways. Particular reforming initiatives singled out for attention include those targeting parliament, government, the law, the Church, medicine, slavery, regimens of self-care, opera, theatre, and art institutions, while later chapters situate British reform in its imperial and European contexts. An extended introduction provides a point of entry to the history and historiography of the period. The book will therefore stimulate fresh thinking about this formative period of British history.

Between 1415, when the Portuguese first used convicts for colonization purposes in the North African enclave of Ceuta, to the 1960s and the dissolution of Stalin's gulags, global powers including the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, British, Russians, Chinese and Japanese transported millions of convicts to forts, penal settlements and penal colonies all over the world. A Global History of Convicts and Penal Colonies builds on specific regional archives and literatures to write the first global history of penal transport...
