José Martín Félix de Arrate Acosta; nació en la Habana en 1701, fue historiador y político. Vinculado por lazos de consanguinidad a las más prestigiosas familias de la oligarquía habanera de la etapa. Se le considera como el primer historiador de Cuba por muchos ilustrados cubanos. Fue Regidor perpetuo del ayuntamiento de la Habana. Es el autor de Llave del Nuevo Mundo que constituye una muestra acabada de criollismo y modernidad, de la cual no se ha encontrado el manuscrito original y que refleja el modo de percibir Cuba, sus poblaciones y recursos sintetizando casi dos siglos de colonización española. Llave del Nuevo Mundo es una descripción completa de la sociedad cubana del siglo XVIII. La obra abarca cinco puntos: geografía y naturaleza, economía, unciones de las autoridades y magistraturas, cronología civil y eclesiástica, y una crónica cultural. «Por ser resguardo y conservación de los dilatados dominios en la vasta jurisdicción de la América [decidiose...] distinguir y conceder a La Habana, llamándola Llave del Nuevo Mundo y Antemural de las Indias Occidentales.» José Martín Félix de Arrate

"In The Nation's Nature, James D. Drake examines how a relatively small number of inhabitants of the Americas, huddled along North America's east coast, came to mentally appropriate the entire continent and to think of their nation as America. Drake demonstrates how British North American colonists' participation in scientific debates and imperial contests shaped their notions of global geography. These ideas, in turn, solidified American nationalism, spurred a revolution, and shaped the ratification of the Constitution."--Publisher description.
