  • Soixante ans depuis Palmer. L’historiographie récente de l’ère des révolutions et de la politique états‐unienne contemporaine

    Open AccessWim KloosterARTICLEL’Ordinaire des Amériques2025

    L’historiographie de l’ère des révolutions (1775-1830) a évolué dans plusieurs directions depuis la publication de l’œuvre phare de Robert Palmer, The Age of the Democratic Revolution, il y a soixante ans. Certains thèmes pratiquement ignorés par Palmer ont été explorés, comme la Révolution haïtienne et ses conséquences, ou la violence de la Révolution américaine. Dans le même temps, d’autres sujets au cœur de l’œuvre de Palmer, comme la démocrat…

    Volume I offers an introduction to the Enlightenment, which served as the shared background for virtually all revolutionary turmoil, and the American Revolution, which inaugurated the Age of Revolutions. Beginning with a thorough introduction, the volume covers international rivalry, the importance of slavery, and the reformist mind-set that prevailed on the eve of the revolutionary era. It addresses the traditional argument on whether the Enligh…

Simultaneous movements in England, Germany, Hungary, I…

  • Economic Equality in the Age of Atlantic Revolutions

    Wim KloosterARTICLEThe New England Quarterly2023

    WHILE hierarchy had been a cornerstone of medieval and early modern societies, during the Enlightenment literate Europeans began to discuss the desirability of human equality. That ideal carried over into the Age of Revolutions (1775–1824), when some authors and activists specifically pursued economic equality. I will provide a brief survey of plans and policies on both sides of the Atlantic that aimed to introduce some form of equality or at lea…

  • Nonwhites and Brazilian independence in comparative perspective

    Open AccessWim KloosterARTICLEAntíteses2022

    The independence movements in the Americas in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were all born of alliances between elites and the subaltern, most of whom were nonwhites. This article compares the roles of Brazilian nonwhites in the independence struggle to the activities of those in British and Spanish America. The focus is on three groups: slaves, free people of color, and indigenous people. Some members of these groups took the initiative…

    Wim KloosterBOOKRevolutions in the Atlantic World2020

    In the late eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, revolutions transformed the British, French, and Spanish Atlantic worlds. During this time, colonial and indigenous people rioted and rebelled against their occupiers in violent pursuit of political liberty and economic opportunity, challenging time-honored social and political structures on both sides of the Atlantic. As a result, mainland America separated from British and Spanish rule, the…

  • Spain and the American Revolution

    Wim KloosterARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2020

    The siege of Pensacola in the spring of 1781 was Francisco de Miranda's baptism of fire as a participant in Atlantic revolutions. The victory of the Spanish army, in which he served as an officer, ended British control of West Florida and reversed one of the losses that Spain had sustained in the Seven Years' War. This siege was more than yet another Anglo-Spanish military encounter. It was also a chapter in the American Revolution, as historians…

  • Realm between Empires

    Open AccessWim Klooster, Gert OostindieBOOKRealm Between Empires2018

    Wim Klooster and Gert Oostindie present a fresh look at the Dutch Atlantic in the period following the imperial moment of the seventeenth century. This epoch (1680–1815), the authors argue, marked a distinct and significant era in which Dutch military power declined and Dutch colonies began to chart a more autonomous path. The loss of Brazil and New Netherland were twin blows to Dutch imperial pretensions. Yet the Dutch Atlantic hardly faded into…

  • A Jewish Response to French Antisemitism in Revolutionary Times

    Open AccessWim KloosterARTICLENew West Indian Guide / Nieuwe…2018

    In the same years in which Jews were elected to the Dutch national assembly (the Batavian Convention), Jews on Curaçao were characterized in a letter received on the island in an unmistakably anti-Semitic way. The author was the prominent French official Victor Hugues, based in Guadeloupe. Two elders of the local Jewish community responded with a letter that shows a remarkable assertiveness, probably facilitated by the emancipation of Jews in the…

  • The Jews in the Early Modern Caribbean and the Atlantic World

    Open AccessWim KloosterCHAPTERCambridge History of Judaism2017

    In the wake of the first Spanish voyages across the Atlantic, men and women of Jewish descent, mainly Portuguese-speaking, began leaving the Iberian Peninsula for the New World. Many generations of these conversos found new abodes in American societies that left them little room to express themselves as Jews. In the 1630s and 1640s, scores of them were punished for "judaizing" by the American tribunals of the Spanish Inquisition in Cartegena de I…
