Doing Comparative Caribbean (Gender) History: Puerto Rican and Belizean Working-Class Women, 1830s-1930s
This essay makes a case for comparative Caribbean historiography rooted in research that crosses linguistic, national, and imperial lines, through a discussion of Puerto Rican and Belizean working women from abolition to the 1930s. In illustrating the commensurability of apparently disparate cases, it challenges the paucity of historiography on intra-Caribbean comparisons as well as racialized and gendered assumptions of difference and even oppos…

From Colony to Nation: Women Activists and the Gendering of Politics in Belize, 1912-1982
The first book on women's political history in Belize, From Colony to Nation demonstrates that women were creators of and activists within the two principal political currents of twentieth-century Belize: colonial-middle class reform and popular labor-nationalism. As such, their alliances and struggles with colonial administrators, male reformers, and nationalists and with one another were central to the emergence of this improbable nation-state.…

Colonial Matriarchs: Garveyism, Maternalism, and Belize's Black Cross Nurses, 1920–1952
This article analyses the politics of Belize's Black Cross Nurses in their heyday in order to bring into dialogue the historiography on gender in the transnational Garveyite movement to which the middle‐class Nurses belonged, and the historiography on maternalism. It complicates the claim that Garveyite women were subordinated within the movement and resisted its gender norms, and addresses the lack of attention to maternalist politics among non‐…
Citizens v. Clients: Working Women and Colonial Reform in Puerto Rico and Belize, 1932–45
Marked differences in mid-twentieth-century reformers' approaches to politically active working women in Belize and Puerto Rico help to explain the emergence of colonial hegemony in the latter, and the rise of mass nationalism in the former. Reformers in both colonies were concerned with working women, but whereas British and Belizean reformers treated them as sexually and politically disordered, and aimed to transform them from militant wage-ear…
Espacios, silencios y los sentidos de la libertad: Cuba entre 1878 y 1912

Nine of the collection’s contributors are based in Cuba, seven in the United States, and one in Germany; all the non-Cubans did archival research in Cuba and the United States, while four of the Cubans worked in United States…
