Establishing Exceptionalism
Entangled Empires
The paradigm that Eliga H. Gould introduced in his essay “Entangled Histories, Entangled Worlds: The English-Speaking Atlantic as a Spanish Periphery” continues to inspire new research and fresh interpretations (American Historical Review, June 2007, pp. 764–86). The present collection, edited by Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra with an afterword by Gould, offers a dozen examples of early modern Anglo-Iberian entanglement. In part 1, “Severed Histories,”…
Negotiated Empires

Their original essays about centers and peripheries in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch, and British America invite comparison
In Memoriam
Bartolomé de las Casas
What the author of this modest volume hopes to contribute to the field of Lascasian studies, fallow since 1992, he does not disclose. The book lacks a preface, and the introduction lacks a thesis. The implied thesis, that the lifework of Bartolomé de Las Casas satisfies the definition of a prophet, is not so much argued as stated. The author sweeps cogent historiographical discussions and important dates into his notes and fills his text with hom…
Indigenous America And The Limits Of The Atlantic World, 1493–1825
Atlantic history is that subset of European expansion in which the caravels and galleons sail west to the Americas or hug the west coast of Africa instead of rounding the Cape of Good Hope and sailing east to Asia. It is in essence the old seaborne empires minus Asia and East Africa. The Atlantic world concept, which in theory deals with the connectedness of four continents, in practice concentrates on those regions where Europeans turned their c…
Another's Country
The 18th-century South was a true melting pot, bringing together colonists from England, France, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, and other locations, in additions to African slaves - all of whom shared in the experiences of adapting to a new environment and interacting with American Indians. The shared process of immigration, adaptation, and creolization resulted in a rich and diverse historic mosaic of cultures. The cultural encounters of these g…

That Demonic Game”
In the last quarter of the seventeenth century the Spanish officials of Florida, both religious and civil, became convinced that a certain game of ball played by the Christian Indians was detrimental to their bodies, their souls, and the peace of the provinces of Apalache and Ustaqua. During a ten-year campaign this time-honored custom was investigated, argued over and finally outlawed. The story of this crusade against a ballgame is valuable for…

Patricio De Hinachuba
Seventeenth-century Florida, like Chile, was a colony known for constant war, and unlike that other distant outpost, Florida had two borders and two seacoasts to defend, plus a declining Christian Indian population and the competition of English colonists for the trade and loyalty of the Indian nations. Between 1680 and 1706 the hinterland succumbed to tribes armed from Carolina, and the Spanish presence was reduced to St. Augustine. The native i…
