Conflicto, negociación y resistencia en las Américas

Desde los primeros rastros de los que tenemos conocimiento, individuos y sociedades se han relacionado de manera disímil. La lucha por espacios de poder ha sido una constante que ha llevado al conflicto, la negociación y la resistencia. La presente obra recoge aportaciones de sólidos especialistas que abordan el tema desde distintas perspectivas, cronologías y espacios. El poder ha articulado y/o quebrado redes familiares, políticas, económicas y culturales. En la historia de América el componente étnico ha añadido un elemento distorsionador en esas dinámicas de sometimiento y resistencia. Desde diferentes enfoques y en diferentes tiempos, los trabajos de esta publicación entran e...

Latin American Constitutionalism

Latin American Constitutions provides a comprehensive historical study of constitutionalism in Latin America from the independence period to the present, focusing on the Constitution of Cádiz, a foundational document in Latin American constitutionalism. Although drafted in Spain, it was applied in many regions of Latin America, and deputies from America formed a significant part of the drafting body. The politicization of constitutionalism reflected in Latin America's first moments proved to be a lasting legacy evident in the legal and constitutional world of the region today: many of Latin America's present challenges to establishing effective constitutionalism can be traced to the debates, ideas, structures, and assumptions of this text. This book explores the region's attempts to create effective constitutional texts and regimes in light of an established practice of linking constitutions to political goals and places important constitutional thinkers and regional constitutions, such as the Mexican Constitution of 1917, into their legal and historical context.

Los colores de las independencias iberoamericanas

El presente volumen trata de explicar las independencias desde la diversidad espacial, temporal, regional, étnica y racial. En este sentido y con esta preocupación, los estudios presentados tienen tres premisas interconectadas entre sí, como son las diferentes interpretaciones y visiones del liberalismo de matriz gaditano y doceañista que transcendió en América en la creación de los diferentes estados-naciones, la interpretación de este proceso revolucionario liberal por las comunidades indígenas (ni necesariamente alineadas ni necesariamente enajenadas) y, por último, el posicionamiento de mulatos y negros no sólo frente al conflicto sino también frente a la nueva sociedad y sus resistencias, alternativas y posicionamientos políticos y sociales.

This open access book can be downloaded from link.springer.com Legal studies and consequently legal history focus on constitutional documents, believing in a nominalist autonomy of constitutional semantics. Reconsidering Constitutional Formation in the late 18th and 19th century, kept historic constitutions from being simply log-books for political experts through a functional approach to the interdependencies between constitution and public discourse. Sovereignty had to be ‘believed’ by the subjects and the political élites. Such a communicative orientation of constitutional processes became palpable in the ‘religious’ affinities of the constitutional preambles. They were held as â...

The politics of slavery and slave trade in nineteenth-century Cuba and Brazil is the subject of this acclaimed study, first published in Brazil in 2010 and now available for the first time in English. Cubans and Brazilians were geographically separate from each other, but they faced common global challenges that unified the way they re-created their slave systems between 1790 and 1850 on a basis completely departed from centuries-old colonial slavery. Here the authors examine the early arguments and strategies in favor of slavery and the slave trade and show how they were affected by the expansion of the global market for tropical goods, the American Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, the collapse of Iberian monarchies, British abolitionism, and the international pressure opposing the transatlantic slave trade. This comprehensive survey contributes to the comparative history of slavery, placing the subject in a global context rather than simply comparing the two societies as isolated units.

Connections After Colonialism

Contributing to the historiography of transnational and global transmission of ideas, Connections after Colonialism examines relations between Europe and Latin America during the tumultuous 1820s. In the Atlantic World, the 1820s was a decade marked by the rupture of colonial relations, the independence of Latin America, and the ever-widening chasm between the Old World and the New. Connections after Colonialism, edited by Matthew Brown and Gabriel Paquette, builds upon recent advances in the history of colonialism and imperialism by studying former colonies and metropoles through the same analytical lens, as part of an attempt to understand the complex connections—political, economic, int...

La mirada esquiva

El presente libro está compuesto por once estudios de caso elaborados a modo de relectura historiográfica sobre maneras actuales de abordar el tema de la ciudadanía. Aunque ésta se asume como resultado de las reformas institucionales, de las luchas sociales que se producen al margen de las instituciones y de la combinación de ambos fenómenos, esto es, producto de conflictos y de negociaciones entre las fuerzas estructurales políticas y sociales de un país, tiene al estado como el agente garante y regulador de su materialización y como la entidad decisoria última a cerca de quién es ciudadano.

La inquietud del tiempo

El Padre Fidel vuelve a asombrarnos con la publicación de La inquietud del tiempo. Esta obra nos ofrece un relato detallado en el tiempo de la obra y presencia del Padre Varela en España mientras ejercía su responsabilidad como Diputado a las Cortes de 1821-23. El libro deja ver la figura de Varela en un ambiente poco estudiado hasta ahora en la vasta literatura valeriana, su trabajo parlamentario en España. Ahora podemos conocer cómo ejerció Varela esta misión, su discernimiento justo sobre asuntos de gobierno a través de las múltiples y cambiantes situaciones en esta época dramática del Trienio Liberal que, por cierto, resultó ser determinante de su destino para siempre.
