African slavery was pervasive in Spain's Atlantic empire yet remained in the margins of the imperial economy until the end of the eighteenth century when the plantation revolution in the Caribbean colonies put the slave traffic and the plantation at the center of colonial exploitation and conflict. The international group of scholars brought together in this volume explain Spain's role as a colonial pioneer in the Atlantic world and its latecomer status as a slave-trading, plantation-based empire. These contributors map the broad contours and transformations of slave-trafficking, the plantation, and antislavery in the Hispanic Atlantic while also delving into specific topics that include: the institutional and economic foundations of colonial slavery; the law and religion; the influences of the Haitian Revolution and British abolitionism; antislavery and proslavery movements in Spain; race and citizenship; and the business of the illegal slave trade. .…

Paperback. Condition: New. Throughout four millennia of recorded history there has been no end to empire, but instead an endless succession of empires. After five centuries of sustained expansion, the half-dozen European powers that ruled half of humanity collapsed with stunning speed after World War II, creating a hundred emerging nations in Asia and Africa. Amid this imperial transition, the United States became the new global hegemon, dominating this world order with an array of power that closely resembled that of its European predecessors.As Brazil, Russia, India, China, and the European Union now rise in global influence, twenty leading historians from four continents take a timely look backward and forward to discover patterns of eclipse in past empires that are already shaping a decline in U.S. global power, including:erosion of economic and fiscal strength needed for military power on a global scalemisuse of military power through micro-military misadventuresbreakdown of alliances among major powersweakened controls over the subordinate elites critical for any empire's exercise of global powerinsufficient technological innovation to sustain global force projection.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This collection follows the extraordinary careers of nine colonial subjects who won seats in high-level parliamentary institutions of the imperial powers that ruled over them. Revealing an unexplored dimension of the complex political organisation of modern empires, the essays show how early imperial constitutions allowed for the emergence of these unexpected members of parliament, asks how their presence was possible, and unveils the reactions across metropolitan circles, local communities and the voters who brought them to office.Unearthing the entanglements between political life in metropolitan and non-European societies, it illuminates the ambiguous zones, the margins for negotiation, and the emerging forms of leadership in colonial societies. From a Hispanicised Inca nobleman, to recently emancipated slaves and African colonial subjects, in linking these individuals and their political careers together, Unexpected Voices in Imperial Parliaments argues that the political organisation of modern empires incorporated the voices of the colonised and the non-European, in an ambiguous relationship that led to a widening of political participation and action throughout the imperial world. In doing so, this book offers a comprehensive but nuanced reassessment of the making and unmaking of modern empires.…

Paperback. Condition: New. How the legacy of monarchical empires shaped Britain, France, Spain, and the United States as they became liberal entitiesHistorians view the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as a turning point when imperial monarchies collapsed and modern nations emerged. Treating this pivotal moment as a bridge rather than a break, The Imperial Nation offers a sweeping examination of four of these modern powers-Great Britain, France, Spain, and the United States-and asks how, after the great revolutionary cycle in Europe and America, the history of monarchical empires shaped these new nations. Josep Fradera explores this transition, paying particular attention to the relations between imperial centers and their sovereign territories and the constant and changing distinctions placed between citizens and subjects.Fradera argues that the essential struggle that lasted from the Seven Years' War to the twentieth century was over the governance of dispersed and varied peoples: each empire tried to ensure domination through subordinate representation or by denying any representation at all. The most common approach echoed Napoleon's "special laws," which allowed France to reinstate slavery in its Caribbean possessions. The Spanish and Portuguese constitutions adopted "specialness" in the 1830s; the United States used comparable guidelines to distinguish between states, territories, and Indian reservations; and the British similarly ruled their dominions and colonies. In all these empires, the mix of indigenous peoples, European-origin populations, slaves and indentured workers, immigrants, and unassimilated social groups led to unequal and hierarchical political relations. Fradera considers not only political and constitutional transformations but also their social underpinnings.Presenting a fresh perspective on the ways in which nations descended and evolved from and throughout empires, The Imperial Nation highlights the ramifications of this entangled history for the subjects who lived in its shadows. …

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. PREMIO ANAGRAMA DE ENSAYO 2022 El tráfico de esclavos y la esclavitud misma ?la subyugación de sociedades con larga historia y sólidas instituciones? levantaron críticas desde la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Esas impugnaciones nacieron de los ideales igualitarios de la Revolución Francesa y las corrientes religiosas radicales del mundo protestante. A pesar de su arraigo y de los grandes intereses económicos que sostenía, la esclavitud terminó por abolirse en las colonias de Gran Bretaña en 1833, en las de Francia en 1848 y en Estados Unidos en 1865, en lo que constituyó un triunfo moral de los humanitaristas, determinante para la transformación de los grandes imperios de origen europeo. La relación entre las metrópolis liberales y sus colonias fue considerada como la garantía de reforma y mejora de la condición humana. A pesar de ello, la persistencia de formas de trabajo compulsivo, el maltrato a las sociedades aborígenes , amenazadas así de extinción, y el ascenso del racismo y el supremacismo blanco en todo el mundo impulsaron la continuidad de las corrientes humanitaristas y reformistas. La brutalidad del reparto de las tierras y la colonización africana fueron el mayor desafío para los herederos de aquellas añejas tradiciones. Y sin embargo ni las voces disconformes originadas en las metrópolis ni las que surgieron en las mismas colonias proyectaron por aquel entonces un horizonte ideológico alternativo al de los imperios: solo los conflictos nacionales e interimperiales del cambio de siglo, las guerras mundiales (con la participación de reclutas de los territorios coloniales), modificaron ese cuadro. Con el rigor y la minuciosidad que le han valido la autoridad internacional de que goza como historiador, Josep M. Fradera propone en Antes del antiimperialismo una iluminadora genealogía de la crítica que antecede al antiimperialismo propiamente dicho. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
