  • The First Filipino and Boricua Historians
    Latin American Literary Review Goldwin Smith Hall, Cornell University • Ithaca, NY 14853 • 607-255-4155 Volume 45 / Number 90 2018 E-mail: [email protected] • Website: www.lalrp.net Imperial Endnotes: The First Filipino and Boricua Historians Ernest Rafael Hartwell, PhD College of the Holy Cross ABSTRACT: The Philippines and Puerto Rico are part of a transoceanic archipelago of colonies that continued under Spanish rule throughout the 19th century, long after the Latin American wars of independence. This article examines parallel projects in anticolonial historiography from these two regions through the prism of converging and diverging articulations of authority. Specifically, two late 19th-century intellectuals, José Julián Acosta of Puerto Rico and José Rizal of the Philippines, dust off 17th- and 18th-century tomes of official Spanish colonial history, publishing critical editions of these histories. Acosta and Rizal insert their own voices into discussions over the past, present, and future of their colonies through the annotations that they append to the original texts. While scholars often affirm that the work of Latin American 19th-century writing is to facilitate the forgetting of differences in the service of community consolidation, I argue that these experiments in marginal historiography constitute a contentious and continual revisiting of difference at the root of the authors’ assertion of their own authority: difference from Spain, from the popular classes, and from other colonies. These projects of annotation expose the racialized nature of the colonial intellectuals’ constructions of authority, pointing to diverging understandings of the work of doubt in anticolonial historiography. The Philippines and Puerto Rico, often overlooked in studies of Latin American literature and history, are endnotes to Spain’s imperial saga.
