The Escuela Magnético
In the early twentieth century, a new religious movement from Argentina called the Escuela Magnético Espiritual de la Comuna Universal (EMECU) spread throughout the Americas. Scholars have taken a passing interest in the group because Nicaragua’s revolutionary leader Augusto Sandino was a member. However, the organization has remained poorly understood, and its internal records largely inaccessible. A major recent acquisition of EMECU documents b…
The Battle That Never Happened
Traditional narratives of the Mexican-American War emphasize national politics over local politics and ground-level diplomacy. This study of Saltillo argues that its leaders and inhabitants privileged their identities as local vecinos, regional citizens, and soldier-settlers over their identities as national citizens. Documentation from censuses, military recruitment, draft exemptions, and municipal councils suggests that Saltillo operated more a…
The Forgotten Diaspora
The Forgotten Diaspora's sweeping title expresses Travis Jeffres's broad interests in Mesoamerican soldiers, settlers, migrants, and workers throughout the region that would later become the US-Mexican borderlands. However, in practice, most of the project focuses on a much narrower set of historical cases: the Chichimec wars of the sixteenth century, the subsequent Tlaxcalan settlement of San Esteban (in today's Coahuila), and the later seventee…
Cross-Cultural Perceptions of Technology and Magic in the Ghost Dance, Boxer Uprising, and Maji Maji Rebellion
This article explores the widespread phenomenon of anti-colonial movements that relied on magical rituals for protection against European weapons. It examines both the beliefs of the magical practitioners themselves, and those of colonizing observers whose fascination with stories of 'primitive magic' contributed to their contrasting self-representations as superior beings in possession of technological wonders. North America's Ghost Dance moveme…

Empire of eloquence
Cacicas
From the time of Christopher Columbus, Spaniards developed the notion of Indians as a sweeping cultural category, and their empire soon evolved a system of law and governance based on the theory of parallel Indian and Spanish republics. This system incorporated Native leaders whom Spaniards termed caciques. The word itself was borrowed from Caribbean Tainos, but Spaniards applied it liberally to Native leaders throughout the empire. Cacicas (fema…

D avid R ex G alindo . To Sin No More
Reconstructing the full range of Franciscan experience in the Spanish colonial world is an enormous task. In the Americas, Franciscans maintained hundreds of colleges and convents staffed with many thousands of friars. Their activities touched virtually every human environment—from urban neighborhoods, to Indian republics, to contested frontiers. The historiography of late-colonial religious orders is complex and sometimes baffling. On one hand, …
Franciscans and American Indians in Pan-borderlands Perspective
Franciscans and American Indians in Pan-borderlands Perspective is a valuable and complex collection of essays by writers from a wide range of fields and specialties. Edited by Jeffrey M. Burns, director of the Academy of American Franciscan History, and Timothy J. Johnson, a well-known scholar of Saint Francis and the Franciscan order, this collection is shaped by the expertise of church historians but is not heavily focused on theological quest…
Situational Identities along the Raiding Frontier of Colonial New Mexico
Situational Identities along the Raiding Frontier of Colonial New Mexico is an extensive study of New Mexico's Casitas Viejas archaeological site contextualized against the broader history of the Spanish borderlands. Casitas Viejas was abandoned sometime in the nineteenth century, but vestiges of the community remain visible today. The ruins of its lightly fortified adobe plaza sit on high ground above the Rito Colorado, not far in one direction …
Fronterización del espacio hacia el norte de la Nueva España
Beginning in the sixteenth century, the Viceroyalty of New Spain sought to extend its influence into a northern region beyond the bounds of the old Mexica empire. Yet the lands and peoples described in early sources as the Gran Chichimeca remain poorly understood to this day, the term itself betraying colonial writers' ignorance of ethnographic reality. The challenges of studying the indigenous peoples of the north are familiar to most Mexican hi…
The Mark of Rebels
Native Claims
Native Claims presents the work of a dozen colonial historians whose subjects ring the planet from Africa to Oceania to the Americas in a period spanning from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century. What unites these projects is their narrow focus on legal conflicts among colonizing and colonized peoples during the early phases of contact, settlement, and state formation. The essays make extensive use of petitions, treaties, court records, and c…

Sites of Diplomacy, Violence, and Refuge
Through much of the history of the Americas, political life took place in two spheres: the colonial realm, in which a complex population of Indians, Africans, and Iberians interacted within the civic framework of European institutions; and the extra-colonial realm, in which largely indigenous populations beyond the reach of imperial authority maintained separate political systems. Encounters across this divide were sometimes peaceful and symbioti…
A Sleeping Army
This article describes warfare and diplomacy between colonial and non-colonial peoples on the northeastern frontier of New Spain in the eighteenth century. It considers the relationship of Spanish and Nahua colonists to indigenous populations in the north. It argues that shared assumptions about military hierarchy transcended cultural boundaries, permitting diplomatic exchange and political integration. Drawing on archival military and missionary…
