For God and Liberty
The Age of Revolution has traditionally been understood as an era of secularization, giving the transition from monarchy to independent republics through democratic movements a genealogy that assumes hostility to Catholicism. By centering the story on Spanish and Latin American actors, Pamela Voekel argues that at the heart of this nineteenth-century transformation in Spanish America was a transatlantic Catholic civil war. Voekel demonstrates Reform Catholicism's significance to the thought and action of the rebel literati who led decolonization efforts in Mexico and Central America, showing how each side of this religious divide operated from within a self-conscious intercontinental network of like-minded Catholics. For its central protagonists, the era's crisis of sovereignty provided a political stage for a religious struggle. Drawing on ecclesiastical archives, pamphlets, sermons, and tracts, For God and Liberty reveals how the violent struggles of decolonization and the period before and after Independence are more legible in light of the fault lines within the Church.
Epistolario de Manuel José Mosquera Arboleda
Entre la colección de documentos originales del archivo histórico de la Universidad de La Sabana, se encuentra un epistolario de Manuel José Mosquera Arboleda (Popayán, 1800-Marsella, 1853), conformado por 79 cartas de este payanés ilustre, fechadas entre los años 1837 y 1853, que constituyen una fuente primaria de utilidad para aproximarse al proceso de formación de la nación colombiana. Estos documentos nos permiten conocer directamente algunos de los acontecimientos políticos, sociales y económicos más importantes de Colombia y de Europa en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Sirven también para observar cuestiones eclesiásticas y religiosas relevantes de la historia del país, relacionadas con la figura del que entonces era arzobispo de Bogotá, Manuel José Mosquera. De las 79 cartas escritas por Manuel José Mosquera, 66 están dirigidas a su hermano Manuel María y las13 restantes a personajes varios. Casi todas están redactadas en Bogotá, salvo 19 escritas en Villeta durante su convalecencia antes del destierro, una en Ubaque y dos en París.
All Trails Lead to Santa Fe
Santa Fe, as a tourist destination and an international art market with its attraction of devotees to opera, flamenco, good food and romanticized cultures, is also a city of deep historical drama. Like its seemingly "adobe style-only" architecture, all one has to do is turn the corner and discover a miniature Alhambra, a Romanesque Cathedral, or a French-inspired chapel next to one of the oldest adobe chapels in the United States to realize its long historical diversity. This fusion of architectural styles is a mirror of its people, cultures and history. From its early origins, Native American presence in the area through the archaeological record is undeniable and has proved to be a force t...

El facismo italiano
El fascismo comenzó siendo el empeño de un disidente socialista y se convirtió en una realidad política de masas. Una de las diferencias entre la Revolución bolchevique y la Revolución fascista está en que si la primera luce como la obra de una minoría organizada, con respaldo militar y táctica maquiavélica, apoderándose del poder, la segunda es el resultado del ascenso político no solo de un caudillo, sino de la mesocracia italiana. La justificación ideológica del rechazo a la pluralidad democrática encontró en el fascismo igual radicalidad simplista que en el bolchevismo y en el nazismo. La brutalidad represiva del fascismo hace a Mussolini un líder totalitario de escala menor, con una brutalidad inferior a la de Stalin y Hitler. En una hipotética gradación del cinismo genocida que distingue a esos líderes totalitarios, el Duce está más abajo que el Führer alemán o el Vojdz soviético.

Spanish American Independence Movements: A History in Documents
The independence movements of Spanish America in the early nineteenth century constitute one of the main junctures in Latin American history. Not only did they put an end to Spanish colonialism in mainland America, they created the modern countries stretching from Mexico in the north to Chile and Argentina in the south. Spanish American Independence Movements sheds light on the complicated period from 1780-81, when Peru was rocked by Túpac Amaru’s revolt, through 1826, when independence fighters defeated the last Spanish forces in mainland America. Author Wim Klooster offers a rich and wide-ranging introduction to the period and provides primary documents—most appearing in English for the first time—that reveal not just the arguments and struggles of the rebels but also of those who remained loyal to Spain.
