Chronicling Tony Campbell’s Chronicle
Autour, à travers et par-dessus
Depuis la fin du xve siècle, les Européens ont voyagé vers, à travers et autour des Amériques, créant ou utilisant des cartes pour montrer leurs allures, leurs pagaies et leurs arrêts mécaniques. Les perspectives hémisphériques sont cartographiées depuis presque aussi longtemps – depuis que Martin Waldseemüller a surnommé les terres du Nouveau Monde « Amérique » dans sa carte du monde de 1507, représentant l’hémisphère comme un espace connecté. D…
Bound images
The dominant practice in Western map studies has been to consider maps as “sovereign,” that is, as individual images separated from the material context of their production, circulation, and consumption. Book studies, also, have generally overlooked maps when considering graphic elements such as engravings and photographs. Yet many maps are located within, and contribute to, the larger arguments of books of all kinds, including histories, geograp…
El Goze De Los Derechos De Ciudadano”
Between 1808 and 1850, the provinces and then independent Central American states organized hundreds of elections. This article examines the electoral theory set out in the region’s constitutions and electoral regulations and explores the implementation as shown in election books, voter lists, newspapers, correspondence, and other documents that reveal voting and political practices at the municipal, state, and federal levels. The analysis shows …

Enseñanza en los jeroglíficos y emblemas
Este texto analiza el documento Guatemala por Fernando VII que describe los eventos alrededor del juramento de lealtad de la ciudad y el reino de Guatemala a Fernando VII en el verano y otoño de 1808. Publicado en 1810, el folleto nos instruye sobre la lealtad condicional de los miembros del ayuntamiento capitalino pero también, por medio de un texto muy descriptivo y unos 22 grabados, ofrece un vistazo a la cultura visual, oral y ceremonial de G…
Mapping the Country of Regions
From 1850 to 1859, a small group of European and American-born men undertook a survey of newly independent Colombia's interior on behalf of a weak central state. They sought to add to centralized knowledge of and to map the country's territory and its human and physical resources. Led by Italian-born military geographer Agustín Codazzi, who had conducted a similar survey in Venezuela, the mission included illustrators, a botanist, a chronicler, s…

Taking a Walk on the Wild Side
Maps and the Teaching of Latin American History
Historical maps deserve a place in the college classroom as primary sources. Since the 1980s, scholarship has shown how maps can be analyzed and interpreted to reveal something not only about the peoples, spaces, and times they portray but also about the societies that create, consume, and contest them. Over the last decade, the maps themselves have become increasingly accessible, as important research libraries and archives digitize their holdin…
Mapping Latin America
For many, a map is nothing more than a tool used to determine the location or distribution of something - a country, a city, or a natural resource. But maps reveal much more: to really read a map means to examine what it shows and what it doesn't, and to ask who made it, why, and for whom. The contributors to this new volume ask these sorts of questions about maps of Latin and in doing so they illuminate the ways cartography has helped to shape t…
Americanos
This dramatic history brings alive the story of mainland Iberian Americans’ nineteenth-century wars of independence. Pitched perfectly to the undergraduate or generalist audience and presented from the perspective of the “liberators,” including Bolívar, San Martín, and Morelos, John Charles Chasteen tells the story of an “Americano” desire for political independence from Spain and includes sources and additional readings for those interested in d…
Citizen of Which Republic? Foreigners and the Construction of National Citizenship in Central America, 1823-1845
The law of the South American states with reference to nationality of origin remains to be noticed. Sir Alexander Cockburn, Nationality: or, The law relating to subjects and aliens, considered with a view to future legislation (London, W. Ridgway, 1869), 17. In December 1841, voters in Sonsonate (El Salvador) elected Frenchman and long-time resident, Luis Bertrand Save, as their alcalde , or municipal judge, for 1842. The governor insisted that S…
Crisis atlántica
Historians of Spanish America tend to ignore mid and late nineteenth-century Spanish politics, since by the 1830s most of the mainland had achieved effective independence. While it is common knowledge that Carlos IV and Ferdinand VII abdicated following Napoleon’s invasion in 1808, Spain’s subsequent civil wars, governments, and constitutional crises generally interest only scholars of Cuba and Puerto Rico. Yet, the pair of new books by José Marí…

New World Orders
In chapters treating crimes and misdemeanors from adultery, murder, torture, and sorcery to dueling and racial “passing,” New World Orders shows how French, Dutch, British, and Iberian imperial systems used law — its regulations, its practices, its ambiguities — to define and control social order in the Americas. Each chapter provides ample grist with which to mill and mull the role of violence and threat of transgression in relations between loc…

Our Pueblos, Fractions with No Central Unity
One of many revolutions that swept the Americas in the early nineteenth century was the establishment of new republics that were independent not only of European sovereignty but also of monarchy. This article uses the case study of Central America to suggest that, in at least some parts of Spanish America, this political revolution did not just transform vassals into citizens and colonies into nation-states; it also identified a need to shift fro…
More calculated to mislead than inform’
The familiar and the strange
Early Modern European travelers sought to gather and disseminate knowledge through narratives written for avid publishers and public. Yet not all travelers used the same tools to inform their readers. Despite a shared interest in conveying new knowledge based on eyewitness authority, Grand Tour accounts differed in an important respect from travelogues about Asia: they were less likely to include maps until the late eighteenth century. This paper…
