Independencia inevitable? La América española en los informes de los diplomáticos austríacos en España (1808-1825)
Studies of diplomacy can offer a cosmopolitan, panoramic view of historical change. Utilizing understudied documents housed in Austria's state archive, Milagros Martínez-Flener does exactly that, by uncovering new perspectives on politics and international relations during the period 1808–25. William Spence Robertson, the venerable twentieth-century historian and one of the founders of the Hispanic American Historical Review, partly inspired this…
War and Piracy in the Atlantic World
Known as enemies of all nations, pirates emerged out of a contest for New World resources and land amidst an increasingly lawless early modern Atlantic World. While Spanish treasure fleets faced attacks from brazen British privateers, such as Henry Morgan, piracy became commonplace by the start of the eighteenth century. Although some engaged in slaving and certainly embraced violence, many pirates established outlaw communities based on democrat…

Introduction: Special Issue on Iberia in Entangled and Transnational Contexts
The Ruin of a State is Freedom of Conscience: Religion, (In)Tolerance, and Independence in the Spanish Monarchy
Gonzalo M. Quintero Saravia. Bernardo de Gálvez: Spanish Hero of the American Revolution
Arguably the most famous of the Europeans who aided the colonial insurgency against Britain, the Marquis de Lafayette was recognized as an honorary citizen by several U.S. states in the late eighteenth century, and his entire family received citizenship in Connecticut. The federal government belatedly followed suit in 2002. Yet Lafayette is not the only one to be feted this century. In 2014, Barack Obama conferred the honor on a lesser-known figu…

Bicentenarios de libertad: La fragua de la política en España y las Américas
In his well-researched book on the wars of independence and the birth of modern politics in the Spanish-speaking world, José Piqueras documents the rise of liberalism and the formation of a national government in Cádiz to resist the French between 1808 and 1812. He presents both rural and urban radicals, as well as deputies elected to the Cádiz Cortes, as protagonists in the revolutionary movements on both sides of the Hispanic Atlantic world. Wh…

Forceful Negotiations: The Origins of the Pronunciamiento in Nineteenth-Century Mexico
Based on an ongoing research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, Will Fowler’s Forceful Negotiations is the first in a series of volumes that aim to analyze the more than 1,500 pronunciamientos drafted between 1821 and 1876 in Mexico. Although most were unsuccessful, they represented coordinated efforts to lobby and to effect political change. Contrary to historians who emphasize the caudillismo of figures like Antonio Lóp…
Soldiers, Priests and the Nation: From Wars of Religion to Wars of National Independence in Spain and New Spain
The Capuchin friar Diego José de Cádiz penned an influential treatise in 1793 during the War Against the Convention (1793-1795) titled The Catholic Soldier, in a War of Religion. It was reprinted and circulated widely during the War of Independence in Spain (1808-1814), and according to an early twentieth-century friar, it had a profound effect on that “heroic generation” of soldiers who fought against the French
America Has Escaped from our Hands’: Rethinking Empire, Identity and Independence during the Trienio Liberal in Spain, 1820-1823
Spanish nationalists lauded the Constitution of 1812, which erased the boundaries of colony and metropole. By the early 1820s, however, separatists narrated 300 years of American history as a Biblical tale of enslavement, with nations ultimately freed from captivity by the heroism and martyrdom of liberators such as Hidalgo. Contrary to the idea that an apathetic metropolis turned away from its empire, this article recovers a vibrant public spher…
Los desafíos de la libertad: Transformación y crisis del liberalismo en Europa y América Latina
Writing in the 1930s, the Mexican philosopher Antonio Caso lamented the fact that individual rights, as the hallmark of the French Revolution, were being discarded in favor of increased state power. At the same time, Jorge Cuesta, in an attempt to vindicate Mexican constitutionalism, insisted that wherever antiliberalism dominated, one could observe an intellectual divorce between politics and high culture. Both figures, discussed by José Antonio…
Urban Revolt, Nationalist Revolutions: Puebla and Valencia, 1808-1814
Between 1808 and 1814, the cities of Puebla and Valencia resisted invasion, established and participated in constitutional government and negotiated new forms of local and national identity forged during the wars. Clerics played central roles in both the warfare and political revolutions of the epoch, as priests spearheaded armed resistance and participated in the formation of new governments. Across the Spanish Monarchy, patriotic rhetoric and l…
