  • Escaping Empire

    Open AccessStephanie Mawson, Stephanie J MawsonARTICLEThe American Historical Review2023

    This article explores the flight of indigenous communities from Philippine lowlands into mountain spaces, a frequent and widespread response to Spanish colonization in the seventeenth century. During this period, indigenous zones of refuge were not exceptional but present in almost every part of Luzon and the Visayas.

Utilizando fuentes del Archivo General de la Nación (México) y del Archivo General de Indias (Sevilla), sostengo que este tipo de transporte forzado ayudó a los españoles a ampliar su poder en el Pacífico. Así mismo, actuó como una medida de justicia penal en respuesta a la aparición de plebeyos rebeldes y desobedientes dentro…

  • The 'Workingman's Paradise', White Supremacy and Utopianism

    Open AccessStephanie Mawson, Stephanie J Mawson et al.ARTICLELabour History2011

    When a group of 220 Australian colonists set sail for Paraguay in 1893 to found New Australia, they took with them many of the idiomatic beliefs associated with the late nineteenth century Australian working class, including an ideological belief in the racial superiority of 'Teutonic Australian bushman'. The radically unfamiliar environment of Paraguay, however, caused many of the colonists to confront the racist ideological underpinnings of the…
