Freedom's Captives
Colombia’s Pacific coast, especially the present-day Chocó Department, is often deemed a peripheral region. It is, to use Oslender’s phrase, an aquatic space, defined by mangroves, small rivers flowing through tropical forests to the Pacific, the Atrato river draining into the Gulf of Urabá on the Caribbean Coast, and extraordinary levels of rain.1 By centering the lives of the Black people of this region in the first half of the nineteenth centu…
Conditional Clemency after the Golpe de Melo of 1854
This article examines indultos after the Golpe de Melo of 1854. While the government hoped that these acts of clemency would erase all traces of the rebellion, a flood of appeals for indultos ensured that the post-war reckoning went on longer than the war itself. Drawing on archival and published material documenting this phenomenon, the article documents post-war politics in New Granada. The tension between popular ideals concerning pardonable b…
Gilberto Enrique Parada García. Ley formal y ley material. La ley penal y su codificación en la construcción del Estado colombiano, 1819-1837
Even within the historiographical lacunae that exists for the years between the Independence and the Regeneration, the two decades between Bolívar’s final military triumphs in Gran Colombia and the War of the Supremes are understudied.

The Hidden History of Capoeira
As capoeira erases the dichotomy between dance and martial art and its history unites stories of resistance and appropriation, Maya Talmon-Chvaicer has written across disciplinary divides to elucidate the history and meaning of this “battle dance” as a product of Central African, Yoruba, and “Catholic Portuguese” culture. She brings her concerns as a devotee to the art and a trained historian with an ethnographic eye to this inquiry into the art’…
