Rogue Revolutionaries
In 1822, the Mary departed Philadelphia and sailed in the direction of the Spanish colony of Puerto Rico. Like most vessels that navigated the Caribbean, the Mary brought together men who had served under a dozen different flags over the years. Unlike most crews, those aboard the Mary were in a different line of commerce: they exported revolution. In addition to rifles and pistols, the Mary transported a box filled with proclamations announcing the creation of the "Republic of Boricua." This imagined republic rested on one principle: equal rights for all, regardless of birthplace, race, or religion. The leaders of the expedition had never set foot in Puerto Rico. And they never would. When w...
State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1
This book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The chapters tell how these countries went about constructing systems of authority that could manage their territories, support economic development, provide basic services, and promote a sense of national community. The book can serve as an introduction to nineteenth-century Latin America and Spain, as a historical guide to the process of state building, and as a tool for experts looking for the latest work by leading scholars in the field.

"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year b...
Geduldete Fremde
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/

El hilo que teje la vida
El hilo que teje la vida es un libro en el que Juan Luis Mejía Arango reúne y complementa sus trabajos e investigaciones en torno a la cultura en Antioquia; ese gran tema que ha ocupado -y en el que ha ocupado- su curiosidad e intereses durante décadas. En ocho grandes capítulos, el autor abarca desde la Antioquia minera de los siglos XVII y XVIII, hasta la industrializada de la primera mitad del XX, pasando desde luego por la convulsionada y cambiante del XIX. En ese recorrido extenso, que es tanto en tiempo como en espacio, Juan Luis Mejía nos muestra de qué manera la economía, la política, las disputas y los cambios en el paisaje han labrado nuestra identidad. Distintas formas de arte y manifestaciones culturales antioqueñas aparecen en este libro, acompañadas por los protagonistas y, además, salpicadas de anécdotas. El hilo que teje la vida es sin duda una obra rica en fuentes e investigación, pero es también un nuevo episodio en la conversación interminable que este autor ha sostenido con sus lectores.
