Republics of the New World
A scholar's task is to make sense out of historical periods that often appear chaotic and inexplicable. In Latin American studies, the decades of the late colonial and early republican periods (1820–1870) produced events that struck both contemporaries and later observers as bewildering, turbulent, and difficult to explain. Having spent a lifetime studying this period, the Argentine professor Hilda Sabato bravely challenges older interpretations …
The Search for the Codex Cardona
What to say about this remarkable yet eccentric book, written in the first person, no less? Leaving aside cameo appearances in the text by Fidel Castro, Generalissimo Francisco Franco, a rogue Mossad agent dealing in Mexican antiquities, and the ghost of the brilliant but long-dead anthropologist Robert Barlow, author Arnold Bauer may have written a book about one of the great historical sources produced by the indigenous world of sixteenth-centu…
Between Two Rivers
As traditional borderland historiography has faded in popularity to be replaced by local and ethnic studies, the history profession has lost older insights but captured new ones. Between Two Rivers is an example of the gains that a change in focus can provide. Dr. Joseph P. Sánchez — editor of Colonial Latin American History, prolific interpreter of New Mexican history, and an employee of the National Park Service — traces the history of a famous…
Bonapartists in the Borderlands
Occasionally one comes across a book that gives a sense of how much fun it must have been to do the research and write the narrative. Bonapartists in the Borderlands is such a book. In pursuit of the human flotsam spit out by Europe after the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, Rafe Blaufarb (professor of history at Florida State University) tracks a medium-sized group of French exiles who ended up in the United States and were at loose ends in t…
Sacrificed at the Alamo
Fans of Bruce Winders now have another book to place on their shelves, one that certainly matches, in quality and clarity, other works by the noted historian and curator of the Alamo. Unlike most studies of the famous siege and capture of the Alamo in 1836, Winders spends little time or effort in detailing who exactly was in the fort, where they were when the final assault took place, what their last words must have been, and whether they fell fi…
La Habana, puerto colonial (siglos XVIII-XIX)
La Habana, puerto colonial, a prime example of the scrutiny New World seaports have received in recent decades, contains 21 richly illustrated articles by Spanish and Cuban scholars. With the exception of the last two articles in the volume (which inexplicably deal with Cartagena and the rest of the Spanish Caribbean), all of the articles treat directly with colonial Havana and, to a minor extent, the rest of Cuba. The authors touch on Habanera h…
Millions for Defense
Millions for Defense: The Subscription Warships of 1798. By Frederick C. Leiner. (Annapolis: United States Naval Institute Press, 1999. Pp. viii, 262. Illustrations, appendix. $38.95.) Frederick C. Leiner has done American naval history a service by looking at an obscure but not insignificant aspect of our earliest history, the 1798 quasi-war with France. Never rising to the level of an open, declared war between sovereign nations, this event dom…

Critica y descolonización
Caliban, who was forced to forget his past; Prospero has thus become a metaphor for the colonialist "external Other."In a very general sense, Chanady's collection can be summarized by the last few lines of Enrique Dussel's ethnographic essay, which states that the adverse cultural force to be fought is "the sacrificial 'myth' of the provident 'hand of God' that regulates Adam Smith's harmony of market forces" (p.120).This, however, is a book that…

Las Damas de la Havana, el Precursor, and Francisco de Saavedra
As the American Revolution matured, foreign intervention on behalf of the Thirteen Colonies against Great Britain became increasingly important. Nowhere in that struggle was outside assistance more significant than at the seige of Yorktown during the autumn of 1781. It was here that a French army under the Count de Rochambeau and a French fleet under the Count de Grasse enabled George Washington to force the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. Historia…
