    Allan J KuetheARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2023

  • El círculo de los Gálvez: Formación, apogeo y ocaso de una elite de poder indiana

    Allan J KuetheARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2021

    For readers in eighteenth-century Spanish America, the Gálvez family requires little introduction. The patriarch of the clan, José, has been well known at least since Herbert Ingram Priestley's landmark study early in the twentieth century. José's nephew Bernardo won sufficient glory with his stunning victory at Pensacola to have gained posthumous recognition as an honorary citizen of the United States. Bernardo's father, Matías, became viceroy o…

    Allan J KuetheARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2018

    Historians generally understand that during the colonial period Panama served as the principal crossroads for trade, both legal and illegal, between the Spanish Atlantic world and the Pacific coast of South America. After 1597, Portobelo was Spain's terminus on the Caribbean side of the commercial system, supplied until 1717 by the Galeones emanating from Seville and after 1717 from Cádiz. It connected overland to Panama City on the Pacific Ocean…

  • La política real y el traslado del consulado en tiempos del régimen antiguo

    Open AccessAllan J KuetheARTICLEStudia Historica Historia Moderna2017References: 1

    The abrupt transfer of the Casa de la Contratación and the Consulado de Cargadores a Indias from Seville to Cádiz in 1717 opened a political struggle between the two cities that would not be completely resolved until the enlightened absolutism of the Marqués de la Ensenada imposed its will. This struggle witnessed old regime politics at both their best and their worst. The present work seeks to analyze the several manifestations of this competiti…

  • La Defensa Del Imperio: Julián de Arriaga En La Armada (1700-1754)

    Allan J KuetheARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2015

    The baylío Julián de Arriaga occupied a central place in the governance of Bourbon America, serving as secretary of the Offices for Marine and the Indies from 1754 until his death in early 1776, by far the longest stretch for any minister. Yet little was known about this figure other than his reputation for exceptional rectitude and propriety, his conservative inclinations, and his faithful service to Charles III. His background has in general be…

En este sentido, La Habana, y su elite local, …

  • The Social Transformation of Eighteenth-Century Cuba

    Allan J KuetheARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2003

    Sherry Johnson addresses the impact of the reformed army upon Cuban society during the latter third of the eighteenth century and then projects the long-term significance of this experience well into the nineteenth.

  • La fidelidad cubana durante la edad de las revoluciones

    Open AccessAllan J KuetheARTICLEAnuario de Estudios Americanos1998

    La historiografía cubana tradicional explica la fidelidad de la perla de las Antillas durante las revoluciones americanas por razón del miedo al intimidante ejército español acuartelado en la isla y por miedo a que cualquier división política diera aliento a una sublevación de la masiva población esclava. Este artículo plantea la tesis de que el asunto fue mucho más complicado que lo que estas explicaciones dan a entender. Por una parte, el ejérc…
