Foundations of Modern International Thought
This insightful and wide-ranging volume traces the genesis of international intellectual thought, connecting international and global history with intellectual history.
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 republican pu...
Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies
Between 1810 and 1825, 7,000 English, Scottish and Irish mercenaries sailed to Gran Colombia to fight against Spanish colonial rule under the rebel forces of Simón Bolívar. Their motives were mixed. Some travelled for money, others travelled for honour. Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies explores the lives of these men – their encounters with other soldiers, indigenous people, local women and slaves – as recounted in documents that fall outside the usual remit of military, political and economic historians. Matthew Brown considers the social and cultural aspects of the presence of these ‘foreigners’, and shows how they were an essential part of the revolution which eventually gave South America its freedom. Using archival research from England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Colombia, Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies clearly shows the active role that these mercenaries, informal outriders of the British Empire, played in the creation of Latin America as we know it today.
Latin American Popular Culture
Explores a wide range of cultural phenomena to examine both national symbolic orders and national/global tensions resulting from a climate of conflicting economic and political ideologies.

Mapping the Country of Regions
The nineteenth century was an era of breathtakingly ambitious geographic expeditions across the Americas. The seminal Chorographic Commission of Colombia, which began in 1850 and lasted about a decade, was one of Latin America's most extensive. The commission's mandate was to define and map the young republic and its resources with an eye toward modernization. In this history of the commission, Nancy P. Appelbaum focuses on the geographers' fieldwork practices and visual production as the men traversed the mountains, savannahs, and forests of more than thirty provinces in order to delineate the country's territorial and racial composition. Their assumptions and methods, Appelbaum argues, con...
Familias de esclavos en la villa de San Gil
Esta obra estudia la vida familiar de los esclavos de origen africano en un espacio local neogranadino (la villa de San Gil) durante el siglo XVIII. Se trata de una investigación sobre la organización familiar, los lazos conyugales, las relaciones padres e hijos y las diversas circunstancias de la vida diaria que debieron sortear los sectores esclavos. Se observa cómo ellos lograron construir realidades a partir de sus intereses y posibilidades, sorteando las dificultades de su condición para establecer relaciones de parentesco que iban más allá de los vínculos consanguíneos y de los ámbitos de las relaciones esclavistas. Es interesante destacar la capacidad que tuvieron los cautivos para establecer vinculaciones sociales con personas de diversa condición y calidad por medio de los tratos cotidianos y los sacramentos del bautismo y del matrimonio. Finalmente, se muestra alguna disposición de los amos para otorgar tratos flexibles y determinadas concesiones que hicieron posible una integración social entre esclavos y los demás sectores de la sociedad local.
