Crafting a Republic for the World: Scientific, Geographic, and Historiographic Inventions of Colombia
In Crafting a Republic for the World, Lina del Castillo highlights the innovative efforts of New Granada's creole elites to repeatedly recraft a new republic. She traces how intellectuals deployed cartography, “constitutional science,” costumbrista literature, and historiography in their efforts to build the nation and its domestic economy. She thus contributes to a burgeoning historical literature that counters the standard view of postcolonial …
Becoming black political subjects: Movements and ethno-racial rights in Colombia and Brazil
In recent years, the best research on race in Latin America, exemplified by Tianna S. Paschel's Becoming Black Political Subjects, has transcended polemics over the verity of "racial democracy" to
The Color of Modernity: São Paulo and the Making of Race and Nation in Brazil
In her significant new book, The Color of Modernity: São Paulo and the Making of Race and Nation in Brazil, distinguished historian Barbara Weinstein views racial stereotypes as “constitutive elements” in the production of the nation’s “historically structured spatial inequalities” (2). The book examines the racialization of São Paulo regionalism as well as the ways that paulista regional discourse has been classed and gendered. Weinstein focuses…
Ana Lucia Araujo. Brazil through French Eyes: A Nineteenth-Century Artist in the Tropics
François-Auguste Biard was a successful French orientalist and court painter who enjoyed the patronage of the July Monarchy and “constructed a self-image based on his courage and adventurism” (2). In 1858, he sought to recuperate his sagging prestige by traveling to Brazil, where he sketched and photographed Indigenous people of the Amazon as well as other inhabitants. His voyage yielded oil paintings, and an 1862 volume entitled Deux années au B…
Reading the Past on the Mountainsides of Colombia: Mid-Nineteenth-Century Patriotic Geology, Archaeology, and Historiography
The mid-nineteenth-century Colombian Chorographic Commission drew on geology, archaeology, and history to project a patriotic past onto the Andean landscape of the young republic then known as New Granada. This geographic expedition, led initially by Agustín Codazzi and Manuel Ancízar, explored and mapped the country from 1850 to 1859. For the commissioners and their associates among the creole elite, the history of past epochs was "written" on t…
Military Struggle and Identity Formation in Latin America: Race, Nation, and Community During the Liberal Period
Over recent decades, historians have revised earlier portrayals of Indians and Afro-Latin Americans as mere “canon fodder” for the elite. Scholars such as Florencia Mallon, George Reid Andrews, and James E. Sanders, among others, argued that not only hunger, patron-client ties, and conscription but also ideas and alliances mobilized subordinate groups. Their military participation, moreover, decisively influenced outcomes such as the enactment of…

Los pueblos allende el río Cauca: La formación del Suroeste y la cohesión del espacio en Antioquia, 1830-1877
Colombian historians have shown a particular interest in geography. Juan Carlos Vélez Rendón belongs to a circle of scholars based in the city of Medellín who have been at the forefront of historicizing the spatial aspects of nation-state formation. They pay special attention to the dynamics of regionalism, focusing mainly on their own province of Antioquia. Los pueblos allende el río Cauca makes an important contribution to Colombian scholarship…
Muddied Waters: Race, Region, and Local History in Colombia, 1846–1948
Historias rivales: Narrativas locales de raza, lugar y nación en Riosucio
Benedict Anderson elaboró una famosa descripción de la nación como una “comunidad imaginada”. En el municipio de Riosucio, Caldas, generaciones sucesivas de habitantes locales imaginaron la comunidad al construir narrativas rivales sobre la historia local. Éstas describían al municipio surgiendo a partir de las dos plazas opuestas a la cabecera, una “india” y otra “blanca”. Este artículo analiza la elaboración de historias en competencia durante …
