Latinx Civil Wars - The Formation Of Latinidad In An Age Of Revolution And Rebellion

de Jesse Alemán

~~20,17€~~ 18,15€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Uncovers how Mexican-American and Cuban-American writings during the US Civil War shaped Latinidad amid conflicts over race, slavery, and national identity The mid-nineteenth century was a crucible for the emergence of US Latinidad. Against the backdrop of the US-Mexico War, the Cuban wars of independence, and the American Civil War, Latinx identity took shape in fractured and contested ways—through struggles over race, slavery, and governance in the United States, Mexico, and Cuba. Latinx Civil Wars uncovers this turbulent history through a rich archive of letters, military dispatches, journalism, and literature that reveal Latinx identity as itself at war during the long Civil War era. These embattled writings illuminate how questions of race, displacement, and assimilation reverberated across national and cultural borders, producing competing visions of what it meant to be Latinx in nineteenth-century America. Alemán reconstructs this contested landscape by bringing together well-known figures—such as María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, Loreta Janeta Velázquez, and Rafael Chacón—with overlooked participants like Miguel Otero, James Santiago Tafolla, and Federico and Adolfo Cavada. Their lives and words trace a diaspora negotiating the fraught intersections of race, class, language, and national allegiance across Union and Confederate lines. Challenging historians and literary scholars alike, Latinx Civil Wars demonstrates how the formation of Latinx identity was entangled with slavery, independence, racialization, and rebellion—revealing Latinidad as a product not of unity, but of conflict and contradiction.

Racial Reconstruction - Black Inclusion, Chinese Exclusion, And The Fictions Of Citizenship

de Edlie L. Wong

27,81€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The end of slavery and the Atlantic slave trade triggered wide-scale labor shortages across the U.S. and Caribbean. Planters looked to China as a source for labor replenishment, importing indentured laborers in what became known as "coolieism." From heated Senate floor debates to Supreme Court test cases brought by Chinese activists, public anxieties over major shifts in the U.S. industrial landscape and class relations became displaced onto the figure of the Chinese labor immigrant who struggled for inclusion at a time when black freedmen were fighting to redefine citizenship. Racial Reconstruction demonstrates that U.S. racial formations should be studied in different registers and through comparative and transpacific approaches. It draws on political cartoons, immigration case files, plantation diaries, and sensationalized invasion fiction to explore the radical reconstruction of U.S. citizenship, race and labor relations, and imperial geopolitics that led to the Chinese Exclusion Act, America’s first racialized immigration ban. By charting the complex circulation of people, property, and print from the Pacific Rim to the Black Atlantic, Racial Reconstruction sheds new light on comparative racialization in America, and illuminates how slavery and Reconstruction influenced the histories of Chinese immigration to the West.

Picture Freedom - Remaking Black Visuality In The Early Nineteenth Century

de Jasmine Nichole Cobb

26,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In the decades leading up to the end of U.S. slavery, many free Blacks sat for daguerreotypes decorated in fine garments to document their self-possession. People pictured in these early photographs used portraiture to seize control over representation of the free Black body and reimagine Black visuality divorced from the cultural logics of slavery. In Picture Freedom, Jasmine Nichole Cobb analyzes the ways in which the circulation of various images prepared free Blacks and free Whites for the emancipation of formerly unfree people of African descent. She traces the emergence of Black freedom as both an idea and as an image during the early nineteenth century. Through an analysis of popular culture of the period—including amateur portraiture, racial caricatures, joke books, antislavery newspapers, abolitionist materials, runaway advertisements, ladies’ magazines, and scrapbooks, as well as scenic wallpaper—Cobb explores the earliest illustrations of free Blacks and reveals the complicated route through visual culture toward a vision of African American citizenship. Picture Freedom reveals how these depictions contributed to public understandings of nationhood, among both domestic eyes and the larger Atlantic world.
Stella - A Novel Of The Haitian Revolution

de Emeric Bergeaud

25,16€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Stella, first published in 1859, is an imaginative retelling of Haiti’s fight for independence from slavery and French colonialism. Set during the years of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), Stella tells the story of two brothers, Romulus and Remus, who help transform their homeland from the French colony of Saint-Domingue to the independent republic of Haiti. Inspired by the sacrifice of their African mother Marie and Stella, the spirit of Liberty, Romulus and Remus must learn to work together to found a new country based on the principles of freedom and equality. This new translation and critical edition of Émeric Bergeaud’s allegorical novel makes Stella available to English-speaking audiences for the first time. Considered the first novel written by a Haitian, Stella tells of the devastation and deprivation that colonialism and slavery wrought upon Bergeaud’s homeland. Unique among nineteenth-century accounts, Stella gives a pro-Haitian version of the Haitian Revolution, a bloody but just struggle that emancipated a people, and it charges future generations with remembering the sacrifices and glory of their victory. Bergeaud''s novel demonstrates that the Haitians—not the French—are the true inheritors of the French Revolution, and that Haiti is the realization of its republican ideals. At a time in which Haitian Studies is becoming increasingly important within the English-speaking world, this edition calls attention to the rich though under-examined world of nineteenth-century Haiti.
