Columbus was on his fourth and ulti- mately fruitless final voyage, looking for a trading route to China and India. He incorrectly thought that he had entered the Straits of Molucca, Indonesia, when he arrived in the channel between the Bay islands and the Honduran mainland. Although he had gained much prestige, wealth, and fame during his previous three voyages of dis- covery in the New World of the Caribbean starting ten years earlier, Columbus’s star was now on the wane and at 51 years of age, he was a much changed and different person from the arrogant explorer of 1492.

Seiter May, 2019 iii ABSTRACT In 1688, the Karankawa Peoples abducted and adopted an eight-year-old Jean-Baptiste Talon from a French fort on the Texas Gulf Coast. Talon lived with these Native Americans for roughly two and a half years and related an eye-witness account of their cannibalism. Despite his testimony, some present-day scholars reject the Karankawas’ cannibalism. Because of an abundance of farfetched and grisly accounts made by Spanish priests, bellicose Texans, and sensationalist historians, these academics believe the custom of anthropophagy is a colonial fabrication. Facing a sea of outrageously prejudicial sources, these scholars have either drowned in them or found no reason to wade deeper.

While Irish legends have immortalized Grace as a courageous woman who overcame boundaries of gender imbalance and bias to fight for the independence of Ireland and protect it against the English crown; to the English, she was considered a brutal and thieving piratewho controlled the coastlines through intimidation and plunder. In The Annals of the Four Mastersthe seminal source of Irish The Queens Pirate compiled just a few years after her death and in a region where Grace was active, there is not one mention of her name. From her earliest days, she rejected the role of the 16th century woman, instead embracing the life on the sea with the O'Malley fleet. The income from this business, as well as land inherited from her mother, enabled her to become wealthy and powerful. She also ran afoul of government officials, who made repeated attempts to curb her activity. The O'Malleys were one of the few seafaring families on the west coast, and they built a row of castles facing the sea to protect their territory. Plundering and piracy was part of seafaring life for any coastal clan and Grace made no exception. To be a female commander of pirates was even more dangerous.

  • Haiti and the Vagaries of Democratization Analysis of the Role That Constitution and Constitutionalism Play in the Making of Polyarchical Rule
    R. Fatton Jr. Constitution without constitutionalism : Haiti and the vagaries of democratization Analysis of the role that constitution and constitutionalism play in the making of polyarchical rule. Author also examines their relationship to class power, political institutions, culture, and leadership. He argues that constitution does not make for an effective form of constitutionalism. Concludes that meaningful democratization in Haiti is difficult if class relations do not change drastically and are equalized.

CONSTITUTION WITHOUT CONSTITUTIONALISM: HAITI AND THE VAGARIES OF DEMOCRATIZATION INTRODUCTION This essay analyzes the role that constitution and constitutionalism play in the making of polyarchical rule.1 In addition, it examines their relationship to class power, political institutions, culture, and leadership. The argument is developed in the context of Haiti's difficult process of democratization. The recent rise of the "new constitutionalism" (Elkin & Soltan 1993) has placed the construction of institutions at the center of political science. The assumption is not only that institutions matter, but that they are "the most promising avenue for changing the world" (Soltan 1996:2). According to this view, in periods of regime transition, institutions become determi- nant in the crafting of "good societies." The establishment of appropriate constitutions is perceived as the critical factor in the making of the democ- racies of the "Third Wave"2 (Huntington 1991:15-16). In turn, the design of 1.

  • Veracruz and the Caribbean in the Seventeenth Century
    VERACRUZ AND THE CARIBBEAN IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY by J.M.H. Clark A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland September, 2016 © 2016 Joseph Michael Hopper Clark All Rights Reserved Abstract of the Dissertation This dissertation examines the relationship between the Mexican port city of Veracruz and Caribbean in the seventeenth century. Drawing evidence from archival research conducted primarily in Mexico and Spain, I argue that Veracruz was part of a coherent urban system in the early modern Caribbean. Its first chapter uses early chronicles and conquest narratives, archived correspondence of Veracruz’s town council (cabildo), hospital records, and traveler accounts to examine Veracruz’s environmental struggles from the city’s foundation in 1519 until the end of the seventeenth century. Chapter Two builds on a database of import and export tax duties assessed in the ports of Veracruz and Havana to argue that Veracruz was part of a discrete regional trading network that followed patterns that were independent of the transatlantic silver fleet. The third chapter reassesses Veracruz’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, showing that the African captives who arrived in the city were a larger and more diverse group than previous studies have acknowledged. A particular contribution is the use of previously unused Mexican archival sources for the transatlantic slave trade. Chapter Four evaluates the ethnic and religious acculturation of African and free-black communities in Veracruz using the lens of a religious borderland. The final chapter examines how Veracruz’s role in colonial defenses changed over the course of the seventeenth century.
