Abstract

Républiques en armes questionne un récit officiel, celui de la naissance des nations hispano-américaines. Car les républiques de Colombie et du Venezuela ne procèdent ni d’un protonationalisme ancien, ni d’une rivalité entre « Créoles » d’Amérique et « Espagnols » européens. Il est, à l’origine, la conséquence de l’effondrement inattendu de la Monarchie hispanique après l’invasion de la péninsule Ibérique par Napoléon en 1808. Nourri par des recherches dans les archives colombiennes, espagnoles et vénézuéliennes et à travers l’étude prosopographique de plus de 3 800 soldats, l’ouvrage décrit les changements sociopolitiques de l’institution militaire. Les milices inexpertes de 1810 cèdent la place aux guérillas puis à la grande armée libératrice – l’Ejército Libertador de Simón Bolívar. Victorieuses à Boyacá, Carabobo, Pichincha, Junín et Ayacucho, les légions bolivariennes arrachèrent les indépendances du Venezuela, de la Colombie, du Panama, de l’Equateur, du Pérou et de la Bolivie actuels. Dans la construction des nations, les troupes patriotes devinrent les piliers du projet révolutionnaire des élites libérales. Vecteurs des valeurs politiques modernes, les forces armées en vinrent à constituer la matrice d’un Peuple « régénéré ». Elles servirent alors de base symbolique, politique et sociale à la souveraineté des nouveaux états indépendants. Républiques en armes aborde les origines d’une histoire dramatiquement ouverte et propose une réflexion sur l’origine des systèmes politiques et des identités nationales du Venezuela et de la Colombie.

Abstract

She was a friend, lover, and confidante of charismatic Spanish American independence hero Simón Bolívar and, after her death, a nationalist icon in her own right. Yet authors generally have chosen either to romanticize Manuela Sáenz or to discount her altogether. For Glory and Bolivar: The Remarkable of Life of Manuela Sáenz, by contrast, offers a comprehensive and clear-eyed biography of her. Based on unprecedented archival research, it paints a vivid portrait of the Quito-born "Libertadora," revealing both an exceptional figure and a flesh-and-blood person whose life broadly reflected the experiences of women during Spanish America's turbulent Age of Revolution. Already married at the time of her meeting with the famous Liberator, Sáenz abandoned her husband in order to become not only Bolívar's romantic companion, but also his official archivist, a member of his inner circle, and one of his most loyal followers. She played a central role in Spanish South America's independence drama and eventually in developments leading to the consolidation of new nations. Pamela Murray, for the first time, closely examines Sáenz's political trajectory including her vital, often-overlooked years in exile. She exposes the myths that still surround her. She offers, in short, a nuanced and much-needed historical perspective, one that balances recognition of Sáenz's uniqueness with awareness of the broader forces that shaped this dynamic nineteenth-century woman.

Abstract

Quinto y la crisis de la alcabala (1580-1600) intenta comprender la lógica del desarrolló de este capítulo que la historiografía ecuatoriana juzga a menudo decisivo para el devenir nacional, pero que no ha sido jamás objeto de un estudio preciso. A pesar de la enorme cantidad de documentos de origen diverso que existen sobre el tema, nada nuevo se había hecho desde González Suárez y su célebre Historia General de la República del Ecuador. Bernard Lavallé reconstruve el juego complejo de los diversos elementos de una coyuntura que, en el marco del virreinato de Lima en una época bisagra de su evolución, se presenta, a partir de 1580, con cierto número de especificidades y caracteres más marcados en la región de Quito que en otras. Asi, su ínteres estriba en la posibilidad que ofrece la crisis de captar a los protagonistas en su comportamiento real, individual y colectivo; y en la comprensión de la lógica profunda de las diversas reacciones en esos:momentos claves de la vida en los que, presionadas por la prisa y la pasión, las acciones dicon más que los discursos y sobre todo con menos disimulo.

Abstract

The American and Latin American independence movements emerged from distinctive settings and produced divergent results, but they were animated by similar ideas. Patriotic political theorists throughout the Americas offered analogous critiques of imperial rule, designed comparable constitutions, and expressed common ambitions for their new nations' future relations with one another and the rest of the world. This book adopts a hemispheric perspective on the revolutions that liberated the United States and Spanish America, offering a new interpretation of their most important political ideas. Simon argues that the many points of agreement among various revolutionary political theorists across the Americas can be attributed to the problems they encountered in common as Creoles - that is, as the descendants of European settlers born in the Americas. He illustrates this by comparing the political thought of three Creole revolutionaries: Alexander Hamilton of the United States, Simón Bolívar of Venezuela, and Lucas Alamán of Mexico.
