Some experiences of afro-descendants in Latin America can be determined through researching the mulatto group, the mixed-race descendants of Europeans and African slaves. During colonization in the Americas, mulattoes became a substantial presence in the region. Mulattoes participated in colonial Latin American society and sought to implicate themselves as citizens into the new nation during the independence movement. At this time, the writing of national identity and heritage began in the national narrative, which included those of Spanish, mestizo and to a lesser extent, indigenous heritages. Though those of African, or slave descent were largely excluded from new national histories, mulattoes were written into many Latin American national narratives and often became associated with national identity. This inclusion was a result of liberalism and the acceptance of those of mixed-race in the struggles of the early republic. Many prominent and influential mulattoes appeared in national narratives. However, this racial group still faced discrimination and exclusion as an extension of colonial perceptions of the slave-descended. The circulation of positivism and scientific race theory influenced and enhanced negative attitudes of Europeans and elite Latin Americans toward slave-descendants. This group was written out of national narratives to accommodate a Spanish-Indian mestizo heritage. Thus, the suppression of the mulatto group in the national narrative is very likely a result of racist attitudes and the claim to a mestizo national identity. The recovery of mulatto history may hold the key to understanding the experience of the slave-descended and the complexity of race in the national narratives of the nineteenth century. This thesis attempts to show mulatto presence in the late nineteenth-century national narrative of Honduras during positivism. Two Honduran intellectuals, Ramón Rosa and Antonio Vallejo, wrote the mulatto into the national narrative, revealing the complexity of Honduran racial identity. Rosa wrote about the mulatto military leader Francisco Ferrera, while Vallejo wrote about mulatto presence in Tegucigalpa and within the colonial racial classification system. These inclusions indicate perceptions of mulatto presence and contribution in the early Honduran republic. However, in Vallejo's 1887 Census, the mulatto group does not appear as a separate racial group. This may indicate that the mulatto was no longer seen as part of the national narrative due the influence of scientific race theory and the consolidation of a mixed-race identity. Thus, the mulatto was both included and excluded from the national narrative, complicating understandings of Honduran national identity. This thesis seeks to address contemporary issues of Honduran national identity in determining the presence and contributions of the mulatto group in nineteenth-century Honduran society.

The British country house has long been regarded as the jewel in the nation's heritage crown. But the country house is also an expression of wealth and power, and as scholars reconsider the nation's colonial past, new questions are being posed about these great houses and their links to Atlantic slavery.This book, authored by a range of academics and heritage professionals, grew out of a 2009 conference on 'Slavery and the British Country house: mapping the current research' organised by English Heritage in partnership with the University of the West of England, the National Trust and the Economic History Society. It asks what links might be established between the wealth derived from slavery and the British country house and what implications such links should have for the way such properties are represented to the public today.Lavishly illustrated and based on the latest scholarship, this wide-ranging and innovative volume provides in-depth examinations of individual houses, regional studies and critical reconsiderations of existing heritage sites, including two studies specially commissioned by English Heritage and one sponsored by the National Trust.

The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary outcome of those state and nation-building projects.

An intersectional history of the shared struggle for African American and Latinx civil rights Spanning more than two hundred years, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a revolutionary, politically charged narrative history, arguing that the “Global South” was crucial to the development of America as we know it. Scholar and activist Paul Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress as exalted by widely taught formulations like “manifest destiny” and “Jacksonian democracy,” and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms US history into one of the working class organizing against imperialism. Drawing on rich narratives and primary source documents, Ortiz links racial segregation in the Southwest and the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the twentieth century, to May 1, 2006, known as International Workers’ Day, when migrant laborers—Chicana/os, Afrocubanos, and immigrants from every continent on earth—united in resistance on the first “Day Without Immigrants.” As African American civil rights activists fought Jim Crow laws and Mexican labor organizers warred against the suffocating grip of capitalism, Black and Spanish-language newspapers, abolitionists, and Latin American revolutionaries coalesced around movements built between people from the United States and people from Central America and the Caribbean. In stark contrast to the resurgence of “America First” rhetoric, Black and Latinx intellectuals and organizers today have historically urged the United States to build bridges of solidarity with the nations of the Americas. Incisive and timely, this bottom-up history, told from the interconnected vantage points of Latinx and African Americans, reveals the radically different ways that people of the diaspora have addressed issues still plaguing the United States today, and it offers a way forward in the continued struggle for universal civil rights. 2018 Winner of the PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Literary Award

Talma Gordon (1900) is a short story by Pauline E. Hopkins. Recognized as the first African American mystery story, Talma Gordon was originally published in the October 1900 edition of The Colored American Magazine, America’s first monthly periodical covering African American arts and culture. Combining themes of racial identity and passing with a locked room mystery plot, Hopkins weaves a masterful tale of conspiracy, suspicion, and murder. “When the trial was called Jeannette sat beside Talma in the prisoner’s dock; both were arrayed in deepest mourning, Talma was pale and careworn, but seemed uplifted, spiritualized, as it were. [...] She had changed much too: hollow cheeks, tottering steps, eyes blazing with fever, all suggestive of rapid and premature decay.” When Puritan descendant Jonathan Gordon is discovered murdered under suspicious circumstances, the ensuing trial implicates his own daughter Talma. Despite being declared innocent, the townsfolk are determined to believe that Talma conspired to have her father killed after he discovered her mixed racial heritage. Freed from the prospect of imprisonment, Talma is left with only her sister’s protection against the anger and violence of her neighbors. With this thrilling tale of murder and racial tension, Hopkins proves herself as a true pioneer of American literature, a woman whose talent and principles afforded her the vision necessary for illuminating the injustices of life in a nation founded on slavery and genocide. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Pauline E. Hopkins’ Talma Gordon is a classic work of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.
