CLAH L ecture
This essay is a lightly edited version of a speech I gave at the annual reception of the Conference on Latin American History (CLAH) at the American Historical Association meetings in New York City in January 2025. It was written as a keynote address connected with my acceptance of CLAH’s Distinguished Service Award for 2024. I focus here on what have been the two most critical and intertwined commitments of my roughly five-decade career as a his…

Bandits and Liberals, Rebels and Saints
Ever since I read Alan Knight's magisterial two-volume The Mexican Revolution (1986)—in my view still the most influential study of that nation's twentieth-century upheaval almost four decades later—I have eagerly awaited each successive article or volume by him. Knight's magnum opus on twentieth-century Latin America's first great revolution put its popular roots, political consciousness, and diverse sociopolitical phenomena back at the center o…
Financial Missionaries to the World
Winner of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations Robert H. Ferrell Book PrizeFinancial Missionaries to the World establishes the broad scope and significance of "dollar diplomacy"-the use of international lending and advising-to early-twentieth-century U.S. foreign policy. Combining diplomatic, economic, and cultural history, the distinguished historian Emily S. Rosenberg shows how private bank loans were extended to leverage th…

Border crossings and the remaking of Latin American Cold War Studies
This essay reviews the burgeoning literature on Latin America’s distinctive variant of the Cold War since about 2000. First, it examines a watershed of recent collaborations between Latin American area specialists and foreign relations scholars, which has dramatically transformed Latin American Cold War Studies. Then, it focuses on two of the more fertile veins in that scholarship: first, the notion that the region’s Cold War should be placed in …

Peripheral Visions
Body and Nation
Body and Nation interrogates the connections among the body, the nation, and the world in twentieth-century U.S. history. The idea that bodies and bodily characteristics are heavily freighted with values that are often linked to political and social spheres remains underdeveloped in the histories of America's relations with the rest of the world. Attentive to diverse state and nonstate actors, the contributors provide historically grounded insigh…

The Dictator’s Seduction
The dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo, who ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961, was one of the longest and bloodiest in Latin American history. The Dictator's Seduction is a cultural history of the Trujillo regime as it was experienced in the capital city of Santo Domingo. Focusing on everyday forms of state domination, Lauren Derby describes how the regime infiltrated civil society by fashioning a "vernacular pol…
Blazing Cane
Sugar was Cuba's principal export from the late eighteenth century throughout much of the twentieth, and during that time, the majority of the island's population depended on sugar production for its livelihood. In Blazing Cane, Gillian McGillivray examines the development of social classes linked to sugar production, and their contribution to the formation and transformation of the state, from the first Cuban Revolution for Independence in 1868 …
Uneven Encounters
In Uneven Encounters, Micol Seigel chronicles the exchange of popular culture between Brazil and the United States in the years between the World Wars, and demonstrates how that exchange affected ideas of race and nation in both countries. From Americans interpreting advertisements for Brazilian coffee or dancing the Brazilian maxixe, to Rio musicians embracing the "foreign" qualities of jazz, Seigel traces a lively, cultural back and forth. Alon…
Empire and Dissent
Since the early nineteenth century, the United States has repeatedly intervened in the affairs of Latin American nations to pursue its own interests and to “protect” those countries from other imperial powers or from internal “threats.” The resentment and opposition generated by the encroachment of U.S. power has been evident in the recurrent attempts of Latin American nations to pull away from U.S. dominance and in the frequent appearance of pop…

Everyday Forms of State Formation
Everyday Forms of State Formation is the first book to systematically examine the relationship between popular cultures and state formation in and post-revolutionary Mexico. While most accounts have emphasized either the role of peasants and peasant rebellions or that of state formation in Mexico's past, these original essays reveal the state's day-to-day engagement with grassroots society by examining popular cultures and forms of the state simu…
Haunted by Empire
A milestone in U.S. historiography, Haunted by Empire brings postcolonial critiques to bear on North American history and draws on that history to question the analytic conventions of postcolonial studies. The contributors to this innovative collection examine the critical role of "domains of the intimate" in the consolidation of colonial power. They demonstrate how the categories of difference underlying colonialism-the distinctions advanced as …
Communication and Empire
Filling in a key chapter in communications history, Dwayne R. Winseck and Robert M. Pike offer an in-depth examination of the rise of the global media between 1860 and 1930. They analyze the connections between the development of a global communication infrastructure, the creation of national telegraph and wireless systems, and news agencies and the content they provided. Conventional histories suggest that the growth of global communications cor…
From Silver to Cocaine
latin america has been actively engaged in global trade since a Genoese sailor with Portuguese cartographic and navigational skills and experience sailing to Africa on Spanish ships partially financed by Italian bankers reached what would be known as the ''New World.'' A German named the new continent America, after a Florentine who wrote in Latin. Although today many observers of the world economy are fascinated by a package of transformations k…
On the Trail of Latin American Bandits
In his acclaimed synthesis of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, Alan Knight observed that "the social bandit's career in Academe has somewhat paralleled his life under the greenwood tree. Introduced by Professor Hobsbawm, he was initially welcomed, even feted, and he put in many appearances in academic company; but then (inevitably, after such uncritical acceptance) some academics grew leery, and the recent trend-especially among experts-has been t…

Foreign in a Domestic Sense
In this groundbreaking study of American imperialism, leading legal scholars address the problem of the U.S. territories. Foreign in a Domestic Sense will redefine the boundaries of constitutional scholarship. More than four million U.S. citizens currently live in five “unincorporated” U.S. territories. The inhabitants of these vestiges of an American empire are denied full representation in Congress and cannot vote in presidential elections. Foc…

Corporate Control of a Monocrop Economy
The thirty-four-year reign of President Porfirio Díaz (1876-1910) is generally acknowledged to have been the period of Mexico's great economic transformation. In reality, Mexico was unable to avoid the accelerated change that overtook it during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, as proliferating patterns of trade, which accompanied the burgeoning industrial development of the United States and Western Europe, tied Mexico ever more closel…

Modernizing Visions, "Chilango" Blueprints, and Provincial Growing Pains

Centrada su atención en Mérida, Yucatán, hace hincapié en las maneras en que las élites, tanto locales como nacional, compartían una visión modernizadora común. También ilustra los fracasos y las consecuencias sociales que provocaron los esfuerzos de los gobernantes locales a…

Summer of Discontent
The past decade has witnessed a rich harvest of regional studies of the Mexican Porfiriato. There are two predominant currents in the recent literature. One group of scholars has focused attention on the political sphere, examining the process whereby the Porfirian central state increased its power at the expense of the regional peripheries. Invariably, the federal cause was advanced by Don Porfirio's ability to manipulate local factional struggl…
From Caste War to Class War
As regional studies have moved to the forefront of research in Mexican history over the past decade, work on Yucatan' has been particularly well represented. Lured perhaps by the past glories of ancient Maya civilization whose ruins adorn the peninsula, its conquest by the Spaniards, the fierce resistance of the Maya to the Spaniards and later the Mexicans, and finally by the fabled riches of the henequen boom and its dramatic demise in the after…
The Fragile Revolution
It is a paradox that historians of the Mexican Revolution have paid so little attention to the complex social phenomenon that has come to be called caciquismo. Caciques-for the moment, let us identify them as local bosses, strongmen, or chiefs-were such a plague on the Mexican rural populace during the porfiriato that "Mueran los caciques!" took its place alongside "Tierra y libertad!" and "México para los mexicanos!" as the central rallying crie…
"Mexico's "Popular Revolution
Over the course of the past decade at least, historians have debated the essential character of the Mexican revolution with regard to the level of participation of the masses. Two major schools of interpretation have coalesced: (1) the older, orthodox populist interpretation, which has taken its cue from several generations of pro-revolutionary Mexican historians and from distinguished North Americans like Frank Tannenbaum and Ernest Gruening, wh…

The Mexican Revolution in Yucatán, 1915-1924
Rediscovering the Past at Mexico's Periphery
Increasingly, the modern era of Mexican history (c. 1750 to the present) is attracting the attention of Mexican and international scholars. Significant studies have appeared for most of the major regions and Yucat\u00e1n, in particular, has generated an unusual appeal and an abundant scholarship. This book surveys major trends in Yucat\u00e1n\u2019s currents in Mexican historiography, and suggest new departures for regional and local-level resear…
