Imperial Inequalities
Conquest by Contract
Property rights and contracts were important to the legal foundations of the Spanish Empire from the sixteenth century. The recognition of the property rights of indigenous people was part of the legal foundations of empire, but offered weak protection from the commercial logic of imperialism. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the national and international recognition of indigenous property rights has increased at the same time that i…

International audience
Worlds Within Worlds
This article examines the institutional locations of global connections in Seville as the city became an important hub of Europe’s first global empire in the sixteenth century. It combines a micro-historical approach to institutions with the history of religious orders to explore the places and processes through which global connections were localized and mediated in sixteenth-century Seville. While the role of economic institutions, such as the …

Poverty and empire
This chapter provides an overview of the ways in which the concept of poverty has played a role in the political discourse of empire. It undertakes an archaeology of poverty and its politics by providing an overview of the constitutive role of the discourse of poverty in processes of empire formation. The chapter demonstrates that complex beliefs about wealth and poverty have played a role in a range of political projects, a history that is often…
The Franciscans Order
The Franciscan Rule dedicated its followers to wandering in the world as pilgrims and strangers, and they rapidly developed a precocious global network, yet the Franciscans’ contribution to global history is more complex than the story of their early global presence. Following a Rule of poverty, Franciscans voluntarily aligned themselves with the margins, refocusing concepts of distance and inverting landscapes of the strange and the familiar. Co…
Transatlantic Obligations
‘To be without family was to be impoverished in a number of ways’; this is the statement which fittingly concludes this rich history—the transatlantic history of family in the sixteenth century by Jane E. Mangan. Her book lays out the different strands of the history of family to show the variety of ways in which the Andean world of the Viceroyalty of Peru was knitted together with the Iberian in a complex pattern, in the century that followed th…
Earthrise
This article uses Franciscan history to explore an alternative approach to global history. Following Benjamin Lazier's observations about 'Earthrise', which showed that images of the world have been entangled with intellectual and political discourses, this article explores the Franciscans' own Earthrise perspective which can be traced in the spiritual and mystical writings produced in the late Middle Ages. The aim of this article is not only to …

Poverty, power, and knowledge
This article explores the entanglement of knowledge, power, and poverty during the first years of European interaction with the Americas. Histories of the European "discovery" and colonization of the Americas have often been characterized by the importance of European power and the hunt for gold, but this history has also been entangled with an equally compelling, if deeply ambiguous, history of poverty. The article engages with this entanglement…
