Islanders and Empire: Smuggling and Political Defiance in Hispaniola, 1580–1690, by Juan José Ponce Vázquez
In January 1586 the troops of Francis Drake entered the city of Santo Domingo.During two weeks they ransacked the first capital city of Spain's colonial empire.It was a traumatic experience for the city's inhabitants, but it also highlighted the incapacity of Spain to take care of its first colonial possession in the Caribbean.The military defeat only increased the rejection of the oppressive monopoly of the Sevillian merchants among the colony's…

Scaling up but losing out? Water commons' dilemmas between transnational movements and grassroots struggles in Latin America
Presentación. Nuevos capitalismos y transformaciones territoriales en la región andina
This presentation introduces a special issue that analyzes the new territorial configurations taking shape in the Andean region under the developmentalist governments of the 21st century. The new territorial projects seek to increase the extraction of resources, the transference of crucial products on local level, and economic development. This remodeling transforms the techno-natural, cultural and political orders and creates new ‘capitalisms’ t…
Commoning Xela: Negotiating collective spaces around a Central American intermediate city
This exploration is based on joint fieldwork conducted by an interdisciplinary research team in the city of Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala. It uses the notion of commoning as an analytic lens to understand social transformations in this intermediate city, and in contemporary Latin America at large. The interplay of commoning, de-commoning and re-commoning processes draws attention to the cocreation and collective production of tangible and inta…

Between Academia and Civil Society: The Origins of Latin American Studies in the Netherlands
Dutch Latin American studies as a field of academic teaching and research emerged in the late 1960s and became consolidated in the 1970s and 1980s. It began as a purely academic endeavor, but in a changing Dutch and global society in the 1970s it rapidly became connected to and influenced by social and political processes in Latin America. The strong Christian and social-democratic traditions in the Netherlands allowed for strong links between ac…

Introduction: Environment and Society in Contemporary Latin America
Societal change in Latin America is intimately related to nature and natural resources. In this resource-rich region, nature–society relations provide both opportunities and challenges in achieving more fair, equitable and sustainable development. Nearly half of the world’s tropical forests are found in the region, next to several other natural biomes, which together carry a wealth of biodiversity. It holds one-third of the world’s freshwater res…
Origins and Perspectives of Latin American Environmentalism
The debate on the socioenvironmental challenges faced by Latin America has a long history. This history is crucial to understanding Latin American perspectives on environmental governance and, above all, to understanding the specific characteristics which determine these perspectives. Traditional debates on environmental governance tend to see the Western debates on nature and environment as determining views and perspectives on a global scale. T…
Territorial pluralism: Water users’ multi-scalar struggles against state ordering in Ecuador’s highlands
Ecuadorian state policies and institutional reforms have territorialized water since the 1960s. Peasant and indigenous communities have challenged this ordering locally since the 1990s by creating multi-scalar federations and networks. These enable marginalized water users to defend their water, autonomy and voice at broader scales. Analysis of these processes shows that water governance takes shape in contexts of territorial pluralism centred on…
In Search of the Amazon. Brazil, the United States and the Nature of a Region ‐ by Garfield, Seth
Garfield, Seth (2013) In Search of the Amazon. Brazil, the United States and the Nature of a Region, Duke University Press (Durham, NC), xi + 368 pp. £71.00 hbk, £17.99 pbk. During the Estado Novo (1937–1945) the Brazilian authorities discovered the Amazon as a region that could, and maybe should, be incorporated in Brazilian development. This required a concerted effort to change its image from a ‘tropical inferno’ into a world of opportunities.…

Joaquín Balaguer, Memory, and Diaspora: The Lasting Political Legacies of an American Protégé
Politics in the Dominican Republic over the past half century have been dominated by one politician: Joaquín Balaguer, who died in July 2002 at age 95 and was president of the country for three nonconsecutive periods: 1960–1962, 1966–1978 (the “doce años”), and 1986–1996 (the “Return Years”). But even when not officially in power, he wielded an enormous influence in Dominican politics. As a politician who grew up under the long, sultanic Trujillo…

Toward a Comparative History of Borderlands
The historical study of borderlands has been unduly restricted by an emphasis on the legal, political, and geographical aspects of borders and by a state-centered approach. Too often, the question has been how states have dealt with their borderlands rather than how borderlands have dealt with their states-culturally, economically, and politically. This article outlines a comparative approach to the social dynamics (struggles, adaptations, and cr…

Sugar and unfree labour: Reflections on labour control in the dominican republic, 1870-1935
This article takes issue with theories which suppose an essential contradiction between capitalist production and unfree labour relations. Using the history of sugar plantations in the Dominican Republic as a case study, it is argued that capitalist entrepreneurs tried very hard to restrict free wage labour relations. On the Dominican sugar plantations this goal was reached by a system of differential mechanisation which brought about a rigid sep…

Concluding Remarks: Framing Protest in Asia, Africa, and Latin America
This volume has presented eight case studies of popular intellectuals on different continents who reflected on society in order to change it. They cover a broad range of people whose activist intellectual work has made a difference: from college-educated environmentalists to autodidact revolutionaries, from indigenous activists to Islamic fundamentalists. We believe there are good reasons to bring together these different historical actors, preci…
Introduction: Structure or strategy? Essays on family, demography, and labor from the Dutch N.W. Posthumus Institute
The concept of ‘family strategies’ has yielded much valuable research when used in the classic ‘quantitative’ and ‘anthropological’ approaches to the history of family life. Its continued use as a research concept requires, however, that significantly more attention be paid to the relationships between families as social units and their individual members, to the great variety of families and households, and to the different motives that guided f…

A lavoura dos pobres: Tobacco Farming and the Development of Commercial Agriculture in Bahia, 1870-1930
The social and economic history of North-Eastern Brazil has largely been written as the story of slave-holding plantations. In contrast, this article focuses on the peasant agriculture of tobacco in the state of Bahia. It shows how the small-scale cultivation of tobacco for the European (mainly German) export market had already started well before the end of slavery. Tobacco cultivation gradually expanded to become the most important export produ…
Patriarchy and changing family strategies: Class and gender in the Dominican Republic
This article explores the issue of ideologies of family formation and their influence on the concept of family strategies. It assesses the influence of patriarchal ideas using a historical case study of a rural village in the Dominican Republic as point of departure. The principal focus is the importance of patriarchal ideologies for class and gender relations. The article argues that the analysis of family strategies should take into account the…
The Origins of Capitalist Agriculture in the Dominican Republic
It has been well documented that structural changes in the capitalist world system during the second half of the nineteenth century generated profound consequences for peripheral economies such as those in Latin America and Africa. Improvements in transportation and the increasing demand for tropical consumer goods in the industrializing countries caused unprecedented growth in the production of tropical export crops and a consequent internationa…

A colonial counter economy: Tobacco production on Española, 1500-1870
Examination of some aspects of the peasant economy which in defiance of the central government was based on the cultivation of tobacco. The author emphasizes the dynamics of economic change on a local level in the Cibao. Tobacco cultivation created a mercantile class in the towns, which eventually became an important social force

Indigenous Politics and the State: The Andean Highlands in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
This article examines the emergence of indigenous movements in contemporary Latin America, focusing on the Andean countries. It is argued that we can understand the dynamics of these movements only if we see them in the historical context of the interaction between indigenous populations and the emerging Andean states in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The article reaches two important conclusions. First, this interaction was not pur…

Caguas is a small town in Puerto Rico's heartland, south of the capital, San Juan. Rosa E. Carrasquillo takes the region around this town as point of departure for a micro-historical analysis. On the basis of local documentary sources and some interviews, she focuses on the period when Spanish rule in Puerto Rico was replaced by that of the United States. After an introductory chapter, the book touches upon a number of themes. First Carrasquillo …
Cultural Tourism in Latin America: The Politics of Space and Imagery
Cultural tourism has become an important source of revenue for Latin American countries, especially in the Andes and Meso-America. Tourists go there looking for authentic cultures and artefacts and interact directly with indigenous people. Cultural tourism therefore takes place in close engagement with local societies. This book analyses the effects of cultural tourism and the processes of change it provokes in local societies. It analyses the in…
