Protections and Rights
In just a few decades, historiography on gender and law in Latin America has grown from foundational works establishing the dimensions of women's legal status in colonial compilations and later national codes to scholarship that considers the distinctions among different social groups of women and traces women as active agents in pluralistic legal regimes. Research into law as practice based on archival sources has increased our understanding of …

The volume offers a synthetic yet comprehensive tool for understanding and assessing the most current studies in the field and their analytical c…
Expatriados en la madre patria
Este artículo examina las solicitudes de socorro y compensación presentadas por los realistas desplazados por los distintos conflictos en curso a lo largo del imperio español en un período en que las fronteras estaban porosas. Se analizará la terminología empleada tanto por los emigrados como por las autoridades en España, Cuba y Puerto Rico para establecer el límite entre inclusión y exclusión. El vocablo “patria” podía expresar una pertenencia …
Marcela Echeverri. Indian and Slave Royalists in the Age of Revolution
Royalism in the Americas during the Age of Revolution has received greater scholarly attention in recent years. Studies of independence in Latin America increasingly recognize that many local (creole) elites had strong loyalties to empire and options for seeking reform without embracing separatist movements. In Indian and Slave Royalists in the Age of Revolution: Reform, Revolution, and Royalism in the Northern Andes, 1780–1825, Marcela Echeverri…
Ann Twinam. Purchasing Whiteness
Ann Twinam’s long anticipated study of royal dispensations from the “defect” of African descent (gracias al sacar) proves well worth the wait. Although historians of both Latin America and comparative race relations have long known about this procedure, which appeared along with other royal favors on an official price list in 1795, prior to this study few cases had been located in the archives. Twinam has identified forty applications for whiteni…
Families in War and Peace
On March 1, 1781, some of Santiago's most distinguished residents entered the Cathedral to witness the baptism of a newborn girl, who was anointed not only with holy water but also a long string of Christian names: Francisca Xaviera Eudocia Rudecinda Carmen de los Dolores.She was the daughter of Lieutenant Col o nel of the Cavalry Señor don Ignacio de la Carrera Cuevas and doña Francisca de Paula Verdugo y Valdivieso, who would later rejoice at t…
Ambitious Rebels
It is easy to criticize nineteenth-century statesmen in Latin America for corruption and the maintenance of inequalities dating from the colonial period. Reuben Zahler instead takes the discourse and practice of postindependence Venezuelan jurists, bureaucrats, and politicians seriously in this exploration of the subtle continuities and changes in political culture between 1780 and 1850. On the one hand, he traces the ways in which republican aut…

Masculine Virtues and Feminine Passions
This article explores how gender and race infused meanings of the key concepts of virtue and passion in the writings of Simón Bolívar (1783–1830). Even when coding dangerous passions as feminine, Bolívar was chiefly concerned with masculinity. Influenced by European moral philosophy, he believed that the passions of vengeance, jealousy, and ambition, which held sway over weak civilian politicians and ambitious men of colour, gave rise to politica…
Honor, Status, and Law in Modern Latin America
This collection of essays examines relations between the law and concepts of honor, status, and modernity in Latin America from the shaky triumph of political independence and liberal ideologies in the early nineteenth century through the rise of nationalist challenges to liberalism in the 1930s.Colonial Latin Americans had been all but obsessed with honor and status, and the Crown passed many laws to regulate these attributes through the final d…
An Early Bronze Age 'dagger grave' from Rameldry Farm, near Kingskettle, Fife
In February 2000, ploughing disturbed the capstone of a cist, located on the side of a prominent knowe at Rameldry Farm, near Kingskettle in central Fife. Excavation by Headland Archaeology Ltd on behalf of Historic Scotland revealed a short cist which contained the crouched inhumation of a man aged 40–50, who had suffered from arthritis, some tooth loss and possibly Paget’s Disease. He had been buried wearing a garment adorned with six V-perfora…
New Perspectives in Latin American Women's and Gender History
New Perspectives in Latin American Women’s and Gender History1 Sarah C. Chambers Introduction The history of women and gender in Latin America is still a young field, three decades old at the most. When searching for “women” as a key word on the most common on-line indexes for Latin American studies, not a single work appears for most years of the 1960s. Beginning in the 1970s a handful come up, the majority addressing contemporary politics by sc…

Hidden Histories of Gender and the State in Latin America
This collection provides an excellent introduction for scholars and advanced students to an exciting new trend in Latin American historiography, bringing together two theoretically sophisticated literatures on the state and gender respectively. Although individual interpretations vary, all the authors explicitly engage with theories of state formation and strive to demonstrate its dynamic interaction with gender: “to analyze how . . . state polit…
Republican Friendship
Public Lives, Private Secrets
For those of us who have been following Ann Twinam’s work on honor, this book has been eagerly awaited and does not disappoint. Indeed, it goes well beyond issues of honor to explore in detail family dynamics among the colonial elite and Bourbon social policy, all in a clear and engaging style.In addition to a thorough introduction and conclusion, the book is organized into two substantial parts. In the first, Twinam takes the original approach o…

The Peru Reader
Sixteenth-century Spanish soldiers described Peru as a land filled with gold and silver, a place of untold wealth. Nineteenth-century travelers wrote of soaring Andean peaks plunging into luxuriant Amazonian canyons of orchids, pythons, and jaguars. The early-twentieth-century American adventurer Hiram Bingham told of the raging rivers and the wild jungles he traversed on his way to rediscovering the “Lost City of the Incas,” Machu Picchu. Sevent…
