Re-imagining Democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean, 1780-1870
Re-imagining Democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean is part of a multivolume project that seeks to understand how democracy was conceived, adapted, and employed during the long Age of Revolution. This is the third volume in the series, focusing on Latin America and the Caribbean, after previous books on the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The stated intent is not so much to explore the practices of democracy but to investigate the use…
Hemispheric Reconstructions
As historians have begun to conceptualize the U.S. Civil War as a global event, so too must they consider Reconstruction as a political process that transcended national boundaries. The United States and Colombia both abolished slavery during civil wars; ex-slaves in both societies struggled for full citizenship and landholding, partially succeeding for a time; in both societies, a harsh reaction ripped full citizenship from the freedpeople and d…
The Path of Dictatorship”
The first erosion of democracy in Latin America did not occur in the twentieth-century, but, rather, the nineteenth. I will argue that in Mexico and Colombia a vibrant, democratic political culture had emerged by the 1850s; however, by the 1870s, a political movement that united Liberals and Conservatives began to suspect that the democratic politics they had once regarded as making them modern was instead hindering their societies’ progress. Dem…
Mónica Ricketts. Who Should Rule? Men of Arms, the Republic of Letters, and the Fall of the Spanish Empire
In Who Should Rule? Men of Arms, the Republic of Letters, and the Fall of the Spanish Empire, Mónica Ricketts traces the contest between “men of arms” and “men of letters” in Bourbon Spain and Peru to determine who would exercise political power and define political culture (1). Who Should Rule? is impressively broad in both its temporal and geographic scope. Ricketts’s approach grants equitable attention to both Spain and Peru, while tracing con…

The Disrepute of the Old Revolutionary Utopias” and Conrad's Nostromo
Why have we forgotten nineteenth-century Spanish America’s innovative experiments with democracy? The sense that Spanish America’s nineteenth-century experience with democratic republicanism was defined by failure, corruption and farce was not a reflection of reality but of a late-century elite project. Around mid-century, many Mexicans and Colombians had expressed great confidence in their nations’ experiments with democratic republicanism. Howe…
Themes and Topics in Parliamentary Oversight Hearings
This paper contributes to the growing empirical work on deliberation in legislatures by proposing a novel approach to analysing parliamentary hearings using both thematic and topic modelling textual analysis software. We explore variations in deliberative quality across economic policy type (fiscal policy, monetary policy and financial stability) and across parliamentary chambers (Commons and Lords) in UK select committee oversight hearings durin…

Guiomar Dueñas-Vargas. Of Love and Other Passions
Guiomar Dueñas-Vargas’s Of Love and Other Passions: Elites, Politics, and Family in Bogotá, Colombia, 1778–1870 is a fascinating, highly readable study of changing notions of gender roles, courtship, marriage, and feelings of love among Colombia’s elites from the late colonial period to the republican era. The book focuses on the relationships—friendships, courtships, affairs, marriages, and failed marriages—among a handful of Colombia’s elite fa…
The Vanguard of the Atlantic World
This project began in Bogot's Biblioteca Nacional, as I read nineteenthcentury newspapers for my earlier book on Colombian popular political beliefs and actions.I spent most of my time uncovering hints of how indigenous peoples, ex-slaves, and small farmers appeared in the historical record.Now and again, however, I would turn away from my intensely local pursuits and glance at the news of the world these nineteenthcentury papers reported.At firs…
The Vanguard of the Atlantic World
In the nineteenth century, Latin America was home to the majority of the world's democratic republics. Many historians have dismissed these political experiments as corrupt pantomimes of governments of Western Europe and the United States. Challenging that perspective, James E. Sanders contends that Latin America in this period was a site of genuine political innovation and popular debate reflecting Latin Americans' visions of modernity
The Vanguard of the Atlantic World
This essay explores the various ways Mexicans and Colombians envisioned and employed modernity in the nineteenth century, especially the flourishing and collapse of an alternative mentalité I call American republican modernity. I argue that in the late 1840s a vision of civilization emerged that privileged political progress, measured by the success of republican projects and the enactment of extensive citizens' rights, as a marker of modernity o…
Ciudadanos de un pueblo libre”
This article explores how popular classes, especially Afro-Colombians, created an alliance with the Liberal Party in the Cauca region of Colombia during the mid-nineteenth century. Afro-Caucanos negotiated with elite leaders of the party, trading their votes and service as soldiers in the civil wars of the era for a variety of social, economic and political gains, including the abolition of slavery, access to commons, the reduction of aguardiente…
Atlantic Republicanism in Nineteenth-Century Colombia
This article argues that the Age of Revolution and the abolition of slavery do not adequately mark the termination of the Atlantic world's political processes, at least concerning Latin America. Employing archival evidence from Colombia as a case study (as well as evidence from Mexico and Uruguay), the article explores how during the nineteenth century in Spain's former colonies, subalterns, especially popular liberals, and elites debated the mea…
The Museum's Silent Sexual Performance
Museum curators, educators, and policy makers may have not considered their role(s) in the maintenance of heteronormativity or analyzed the ways that museum history, theory, and practice have constructed sexual norms. Recognizing queer subjects in the museum is an often difficult and uncomfortable task that requires grappling with multiple definitions of queer intelligibility, sustaining a relentless self-reflexivity, and a willingness to engage …
Myths of Harmony
Marixa Lasso’s important study of the transition from colony to republic in Colombia argues for the central role of discourses of racial equality and racial harmony in both the independence process and the creation of new republican political cultures. Myths of Harmony is a vital addition to the broader historiographic effort to reassess the importance of republicanism for postcolonial life, instead of just considering it as an elite theater mask…

The Time of Liberty
Contentious Republicans
Citizens of a Free People
All that belong to the Liberal Party in the Cauca are people of the pueblo bajo (as they are generally called) and blacks," observes an 1859 letter written by Juan Aparicio, a local political operative who had undertaken the unenviable task of recruiting these same "lower classes" to support the powerful caudillo Tomás Mosquera's new National Party. Aparicio tried to explain his failure in this assignment, arguing that "this class of people will …

Bandits, Peasants, and Politics
We now have an English translation of Gonzalo Sánchez’s and Donny Meertens’s seminal study of the later stages (1958–1965) of La Violencia in Colombia. In addition to exploring the causes and historical evolution of this conflict, the work is a case study to test what we might call bandit theory. Indeed, readers’ responses to the volume may largely depend on their appraisal of banditry as an appropriate theoretical model with which to investigate…

The Expansion of the Fante and the Emergence of Asante in the Eighteenth Century
This article attempts to assess the importance of Asante influence in the consolidation of the Fante in the eighteenth century. It shows at the outset that mis-translation of Willem Bosman's early eighteenth-century work has led to an erroneous conception of the Fante polities as being incapable of acting on common interests. Between 1700 and 1724 the Fante conquered surrounding states such as Asebu, Fetu, Cabesterra, Acron (Gomoa), and pockets o…

Village settlement among the Fante
Opening ParagraphThis article examines the growth of the Anomabo settlement pattern. Two main perspectives are used: one geographical, in which the number and configuration of villages are investigated; the other historical, in which village origins are examined, largely through the use of oral evidence collected from local informants. A discussion of Anomabo's geography begins the study

An Inventory of Microfilms of Selected Danish Archives (Rigsarkvet-Københaven) Concerning West Africa
The following inventory of eighty-five reels of microfilm represents a selection of documents which relate to West Africa from the State Archives of Denmark. The documents date from 1624 to 1823, though the majority of them originated in the eighteenth century. They were taken from three major classes of records in the Rigsarkivet in Copenhagen: the West India and Guinea Company (Vestindiskguineisk Kompagni), the Guinea Company (Guineisk Kompagni…
