T imo H. S chaefer . Liberalism as Utopia: The Rise and Fall of Legal Rule in Post-Colonial Mexico, 1820–1900
Timo H. Schaefer’s Liberalism as Utopia: The Rise and Fall of Legal Rule in Post-Colonial Mexico, 1820–1900, is an important addition to the growing and stimulating historiography on the liberal experience in nineteenth-century Latin America. The Mexican case, which the book addresses, has drawn the most attention and has been the focus of some of the key works available on liberalism broadly conceived. Among these other key works, the list of au…
State of Ambiguity: Civic Life and Culture in Cuba's First Republic
This revisionist anthology attempts to bridge the periods before and after the Spanish-American War and the occupation of Cuba by the United States, which is to say the time before and after Cuba gained its independence from Spain and established a republican form of government under American control. Contrary to the dominant historiography that sees the years around 1898 as a great divide, a period of rupture and discontinuity and, in particular…
The Vanguard of the Atlantic World: Creating Modernity, Nation, and Democracy in Nineteenth-Century Latin America
This important historical study contributes to rescuing Latin America from the margins to which the dominant historiography on modern democracy relegated it, placing the region at the center of the development of political modernity worldwide. Based on the claim that nowhere else in the world was democratic republicanism embraced in such a wide manner during the mid-nineteenth century, Sanders establishes that the New World was truly at the vangu…
Fatal Love: Spousal Killers, Law, and Punishment in the Late Colonial Spanish Atlantic
Jason McGraw. The Work of Recognition: Caribbean Colombia and the Postemancipation Struggle for Citizenship
In a similar vein to several other countries in Spanish America, Colombia’s final abolition of slavery came in the mid-nineteenth century. A May 1851 law made abolition effective the first day of 1852. As Jason McGraw’s The Work of Recognition: Caribbean Colombia and the Postemancipation Struggle for Citizenship suggests, one of the major challenges thereafter was turning the recently proclaimed formal freedom and equality of all Colombians under…
Fatal Love: Spousal Killers, Law, and Punishment in the Late Colonial Spanish Atlantic
For historians, spousal murders are significant for what they reveal about social and family history, in particular the hidden history of day-to-day gender relations, conflicts, crimes, and punishments. Fatal Love examines this phenomenon in the late colonial Spanish Atlantic, focusing on incidents occurring in New Spain (colonial Mexico), New Granada (colonial Colombia), and Spain from the 1740s to the 1820s. In the more than 200 cases consulted…

Nation and State in Latin America: Political Language during IndependenceFundamentos intelectuales y políticos de las independencias: Notas para una nueva historia intelectual de Iberoamérica
The two texts under review are not entirely new. Nation and State is an English translation of a book originally published in Spanish by Buenos Aires’s Editorial Sudamericana in 2004. Similarly, four of Fundamentos intelectuales’ seven chapters were published between 2004 and 2009 in various journals and the proceedings from an academic conference. Nevertheless, the English version of José Carlos Chiaramonte’s original Spanish text and the Spanis…
Justicia y tortura en los Andes: Recurso de Judas Tadeo Andrade ante la Audiencia de Charcas, 1791
The Archivo y Biblioteca Nacionales de Bolivia is the repository of, among other treasures, a most valuable and unique document, the “Recurso de Judas Tadeo Andrade, residente en Cochabamba, ante la Audiencia de Charcas para que se reciba información de testigos, según el interrogatorio y las laminas en colores que presenta, sobre diversos excesos del gobernador intendente y otros magistrados de esta provincial.” It consists of a complaint agains…
Iglesia me Llamo: Church Asylum and the Law in Spain and Colonial Spanish America
Iglesia me llamo' ('church is my name') was the only phrase uttered over and over by numerous criminals during judicial interrogations that took place at various times throughout the Iberian kingdoms that ultimately became Spain, and their American colonies. This expression meant that even after committing heinous crimes, those outlaws received shelter at local churches and thereby felt entitled not to disclose any information to justice official…
Innocent Infants or Abusive Patriarchs? Spousal Homicides, the Punishment of Indians and the Law in Colonial Mexico, 1740s-1820s
This article examines numerous spousal homicides occurring all over New Spain (colonial Mexico) during the last seven decades of the colonial period. After killing their spouses, sometimes in an extremely brutal manner, a considerable number of the defendants managed to get away with little more than a slap on the wrist. I argue here that this was not due to the fact that written laws were dead letters. After examining general patterns of spousal…

Colonial Baracunatanas and Their Nasty Men: Spousal Homicides and the Law in Late Colonial New Granada
This article discusses 51 incidents of spousal homicide occurring in New Granada (today's Colombia) during the late colonial period, ca. 1750--1810. It examines the regional distribution of the crimes; looks at the gender, ethnicity, class, and occupations of the participants; discusses the circumstances of the crimes (weapons, motives); and evaluates the legal treatment and punishment of the defendants. Its most significant finding concerns the …
The Birth of a Public Sphere in Latin America During the Age of Revolution
The late colonial period was generally an era of anxiety for royal officials in Spanish America and its neighboring areas. To the turmoil caused by massive rebellions, especially in the early 1780s, was added the volatile political atmosphere resulting from the French Revolution. Several "seditious" incidents occurred subsequently throughout the colonial landscape. Both the popular rebellions prior to and the plots following the French Revolution…
