Sans prétendre fournir un traitement exhaustif du véritable choc qu’a produit Napoléon dans le monde atlantique - de la vente de la Louisiane aux Etats-Unis et de la révolution haïtienne jusqu’aux mouvements d’indépendance ibéro-américains - dans l’ensemble les différents chapitres permettent de suivre les conséquences directes et indirectes du retrait français de l’Amérique après 1804-1805, et suggèrent comment les guerres mondiales et les programmes réformateurs de l’ère napoléonienne ont contribué aux sociétés post-impériales qui ont émergé dans l’espace atlantique. En tant que tel, ce livre offre aux spécialistes des études napoléoniennes une nouvelle approche des thèmes classiques de la modernisation dans les domaines militaire, religieux, juridique et administratif et s’étend jusqu’aux politiques artistiques et aux influences culturelles dans les Amériques

Les hommes ne semblaient pas dûment autorisés à transporter un tel chargement, c’est pourquoi Cordón, qui avait l’ordre du corregidor (gouverneur) de la province de Chiquimula d’arrêter toute personne suspect..

Perhaps surprisingly, considering the unprecedented nature and consequences of Napoleon’s intervention into Spanish politics, the colonial system survived the shock of the Bayonne coup that brought down the Bourbons. On the far side of the Atlantic, a captain general and audiencia remained in place to sustain the sovereignty of the deposed Fernando VII across the length of the Central American isthmus. At the provincial level, a secondary tier of crown-appointed governors personified Spanish authority over fifteen distinct and largely autonomous jurisdictions. Finally, at the local level a variety of authorities continued to oversee the colonial population within both municipal and district boundaries as they had done for the past three centuries. Yet, after 1808 this traditional political framework had to adapt quickly to a new t...

Over the first six decades of the 18th century, the newly installed Bourbon dynasty launched a series of administrative, military, clerical, and economic reforms designed to spark and then protect an imperial revival. As a regular participant in the colonial wars of the period, the Spanish crown relied heavily on military strength to signify its renewed standing vis-à-vis its international adversaries. Any gains won by force of arms also needed to be confirmed by treaty and reinforced by positive peacetime relationships with these same rivals. As a result, an assertive diplomacy played an important role in promoting Spanish interests during a tumultu...

He challenges dominant understandings of African history, pushing the field beyond anticolonial movements and national boundaries. Christopher Lee argues that multiracial groups were marginalized not only by a British order obsessed with "nativism" and the "native question" but also by historians. He takes on the field, suggesting that this disregard emerges not only from discomfort with multiracial imperial allegiances but also from the entrenchment of colonial nativism in scholarship. The author's focus on diverse multiracial communities thus forces readers to rethink definitions of "African history" and the new forms of peoplehood and political imagination that emerged during colonial rule in the region of the British Central Africa Federation. Lee argues that multiracial individuals and communities used kinship and "genealogical imagination" to negotiate a world defined by race, by ideas of natives and nonnatives.

This was the first work to attempt to analyze the creation of the new nation of Central America. A year later, Dr. Mariano Gálvez, the reformist governor of Guatemala, commissioned another history, envisioned as an analysis of the struggle for independence and the early nation-building process. Gálvez entrusted the latter commission to a young scholar and government official, Dr. Alejandro Marure, and in order to complement and support this study, the Guatemalan government simultaneously released official documents pertaining to the postindependence period in a publication entitled Documentos para la historia de las revoluciones de Centro-América (Documents for the history of the Central American revolutions). 1 Ostensibly, Marure's Bosquejo histórico de las revoluciones de Centroamérica, desde 1811 hasta 1834 (Historical sketch of the Central American revolutions from 1811 to 1834) and the Documentos would together serve "to fix the truth of the deeds of the Revolution." 2 The early 1830s was a time of intense social, political, and economic experimentation within Guatemala that followed an even more turbulent first decade of independence. Here, as in the rest of Latin America, the precipitous end of 300 years of colonial status produced a wide variety of strategies and
