These lectures chronicle the Spanish Empire's policies toward the Indians of the Americas in the late eighteenth century. Since Indians independently controlled most of the area that Spain claimed to own, the Spaniards began to make significant political accommodations with some of these ''savages'' or ''wild Indians,'' whom they could neither defeat nor convert. Weber demonstrates that Spain's ideal mission changed between the Habsburg and Bourbon eras and, more importantly, local circumstances and local people, including Indians, determined how a mission would measure up to the Crown's objec

In this wide-ranging account, Robert DuPlessis examines globally sourced textiles that by dramatically altering consumer behaviour, helped create new economies and societies in the early modern world. This deeply researched history of cloth and clothing offers new insights into trade patterns, consumer demand and sartorial cultures that emerged across the Atlantic world between the mid-seventeenth and late-eighteenth centuries. As a result of European settlement and the construction of commercial networks stretching across much of the planet, men and women across a wide spectrum of ethnicities, social standings and occupations fashioned their garments from materials old and new, familiar and strange, and novel meanings came to be attached to different fabrics and modes of dress. The Material Atlantic illuminates crucial developments that characterised early modernity, from colonialism and slavery to economic innovation and new forms of social identity.

EN 1773, la révolte de Pougatchev aux marges de l’Oural et la « partie de thé » de Boston inaugurent une « ère des révolutions » qui touche de nombreux états européens, ainsi que leurs colonies américaines et atlantiques. En 1802, la paix d’Amiens permet une trêve dans un continent en guerre depuis une décennie ainsi qu’une stabilisation des processus révolutionnaires ou indépendantistes. Entre ces deux dates (le temps d’une génération) des révoltes séculaires se transforment parfois en « révolutions », inscrites dans des espaces et des contextes particuliers : révolution américaine, genevoise, batave, domingoise (Saint-Domingue), rhénane, belge, polonaise, française, italiennes. Quels fils, quelles influences relient ces événements si complexes ? Quelle est la part de la résistance au despotisme éclairé, de la percée des Lumières et du droit naturel de la « république des lettres » européenne dans l’éclatement des révoltes ? Quelles sont les influences respectives des révolutions américaine et française dans la construction d’un nouvel espace politique, civique et l’émergence des identités nationales ? Une réflexion comparative sur les révolutions (causes, acteurs, pratiques, acquis) est possible, en particulier autour des déclarations des droits et des constitutions, des contours de la démocratie (votes, opinions publiques). Elles s’imposent quant aux décalages entre les grands principes (libéralisme, égalitarisme) et la condition faite aux catégories marginalisées : étrangers, femmes, esclaves, indigents, autochtones dans les colonies. Les droits des hommes et les droits des peuples entrent en contradiction avec des structures diplomatiques et militaires, de la « paix au monde » (1790) à la guerre qui « nourrit la guerre », sous le Directoire. Cet essai rapproche des historiographies nationales longtemps concurrentes ou indifférentes les unes aux autres, comme celles des exceptions américaine et française. De l’immense écho de l’année 1789 à l’occupation d’une…
