Ghosts of Colonies Past and Present is the fruit of an entire career in Hispanic Studies, a field that has changed remarkably in the last two decades. This year marks the centenary of Galdós’s death, and it is fitting to look back and reassess his career and his impact on the society of his time and on ours today. I can only hope that readers will find this an informative perspective from which to draw conclusions about the past and present. This was not an easy book to write, and I am indebted to many people for making it possible. To acknowledge all the support and encouragement I received from so many would result in a text of equally galdosian proportions. For that reason, I will attempt to be brief. To the readers of my manuscript, thank you for your sharp eyes and sharp minds; you provided brilliant advice for improvements. Accordingly, any shortcomings of the book are mine alone. My gratitude as well goes to Liverpool University Press, and in particular to Chloe Johnson, who on the strength of a single chapter made the decision to contract the book. In the desperately uncertain times we find ourselves in, it is more important than ever that we learn about ourselves and our respective worlds through the medium of literature, and we are fortunate to have publishers who recognize the value of this particular kind of humanistic study. I also want to acknowledge summer research support provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Program for Cultural Cooperation Between Spain’s Ministry of Culture and United States Universities. I have gained much from the work of colleagues in Spanish literary and cultural studies over the years: Alda Blanco, Luisa Elena Delgado, Toni Dorca, Pura Fernández, David George, Hazel Gold, Michael Iarocci, Javier Krauel, Jo Labanyi, Susan Martín-Marquéz, Iñigo Sánchez Llama, Lisa Surwillo, Jesús Torrecilla, Akiko Tsuchiya, and Linda Willem, many Ghosts of Colonies Past and Present of whom I cite in this book. Stephanie Sieburth, David Gies, Cathy Jaffe, and Rebecca Haidt, from our first meeting at the NIH Summer Institute in 1999 at Duke University, you have provided me with models of profes- sional rigor, collegial support, and true friendship. In Spain, Dolores Troncoso Durán and Yolanda Arencibia always treated me with kindness, from my earliest forays as a scholar of Galdós’s work, and they consistently provided intellectual insights. Similarly, I want to thank Peter Bly and Alan Smith for their scholarly work and for trusting me with the future of the Asociación Internacional de Galdosistas at a critical moment in its history. I also want to mention the impact of those scholars who were taken from us far too soon. I met Tim McGovern when I was a junior faculty member, and we always thought we would have more time together. That has been a hard lesson learned. Similarly, Christopher Schmidt-Nowara and I met as doctoral students, studying in Madrid on Fulbright Fellowships. His life and work manifested like a brilliant and fast-burning comet, and I find myself still catching up to his scholarship as I think about the Spanish- speaking world in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I think of both of them quite often, grateful for the time I had with them and for the work they leave behind. I would be remiss not to mention the extraordinary mentorship of Harriet Turner, and the unequivocal support shown to me by Lee Skinner, my former colleague at the Claremont Colleges. I save my deepest thanks, nonetheless, to two very special friends and colleagues: Silvia Bermúdez and Roberta Johnson, without whom this book would never have been completed. They provided me with professional wisdom, intellectual guidance, and the loving friendship that made the difference when my energies flagged. I will forever be in their debt. I have been fortunate to have a family who supported me and my career. But no one has been as engaged or as steadfast as my husband, Robert Pavich. He has walked this path with me for many decades and continues to offer to read and comment on my work. Words are insufficient to express the extent of how much he means to me. I am truly blessed to have such a partner. In closing, I hope readers of this book will draw connections between the struggle of Spaniards to reimagine themselves after the loss of empire and our own time. We are experiencing seismic shifts across the globe that will undoubtedly have profound and lasting impacts on nations, on institutions, on cultural identities, and on the health of the planet as a whole. Whether we have the ability to direct these shifts toward positive outcomes remains to be seen. I continue to believe that literature offers viii Acknowledgments valuable lessons to attentive readers, and I hope that this book will add, in small measure, to a body of knowledge that might actually help us navigate the stormy waters of our present environment. Galdós, in his study of Spanish history and culture, came quickly to the conclusion that greed and self-interest lead to devastating results for all, both in the moment and for subsequent generations. It is a lesson we must relearn as we strive for a world beyond the postcolonial. ix Introduction: Managing the Loss of Empire CHAPTER 1 The Problem of Spain’s Colonial Legacy The Problem of Spain’s Colonial Legacy Benito Pérez Galdós (1843–1920) was one of Spain’s most prolific authors, having published 78 novels, 23 plays, 15 short stories, and an extensive corpus of journalism over a career that spanned a half century. Stephen Gilman considered Galdós to be “Spain’s first authentic nineteenth-century novelist” (Galdós and the Art of the European Novel 24), and many critics have favorably compared his literary production to that of other great European novelists, such as Charles Dickens, Honoré de Balzac, and Leo Tolstoy.1 Galdós’s commitment to writing about Spain’s past and its present, in his historical novels – the Episodios nacionales [National Episodes] – and his realist novels of contemporary Spanish life in the late nineteenth century – the novelas contemporáneas [contemporary novels] – has no counterpart in European literary history. Given the author’s prolific output, writing a book about Benito Pérez Galdós’s treatment of Spain’s imperial history is a daunting task. Part of the challenge lies not just in the extensive number of works but also in the generally accepted opinion in contemporary Galdós studies that the author’s intense focus on the metropolis precluded a lack of engagement with Spanish imperialism. The noted historian Michael Costeloe, for example, in his study of peninsular Spain’s response to colonial revolution, has claimed that Galdós “makes only passing and superficial reference to the wars in America, and permits his characters almost no opinions on what Spaniards felt about the loss of empire” (2). Nevertheless, when one looks closely in Galdós’s fiction for references to the Americas, 1 See Harriet Turner’s “The Poetics of Suffering in Galdós and Tolstoy”Studies ( in Honor of Gilberto Paolini, Mercedes Vidal, ed. Newark, DE: Juan de la Cuesta Press, 1996); Timothy McGovern’s Dickens in Galdós (New York: Peter Lang, 2000); Charles Ley’s “Galdós comparado con Balzac y Dickens como novelista nacional” (Actas del Primer Congreso Internacional de Estudios Galdosianos, Las Palmas: Excmo Cabildo Insular de Gran Canaria, 1977); and Fredric Jameson’s The Antinomies of Realism (London: Verso, 2013). Ghosts of Colonies Past and Present to Spanish imperialism, to the colonial experience, even if only from the perspective of the metropolitan citizen, the evidence is undeniably present. References are not always straightforward or reflected in purely historical terms. They are, as is often the case even in realist fiction, metaphorical and evocative in nature, addressing issues associated with empire and colonialism in unexpected ways.

It offers a new context for the study of British imperialism by examining the ways in which mid- Victorian novels responded to and were shaped by the threat of French imperialism. It studies three canonical Victorian noVels: William Thackeray’s Vanity Fair (1846- 1848), Charlotte Brontë’s Villette (1853) and Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities (1859), and argues that even though these texts deal very lightly with the British colonies and feature Very few colonial figures, they are still Very much “about empire” because they are informed by British anxieties regarding French imperialism. Revolutionary Narratives links each noVel to a contemporary political crisis between England and France, and it argues that each novelist turns back to the Revolutionary period in response to and as a means to process a modern threat from France.

    THE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES AND CHILE 1810-1823 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY BUTLER ALFONSO JONES DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ATLANTA, GEORGIA JUNE 1938 / ' ' I // / ii PREFACE The most casual study of the relations between the United States and the Latin American republics will indicate that the great republic in the north has made little effort to either understand the difficulties that have sorely tried her younger and less powerful neighbors or to study their racial characteristics and customs with the friendly appreciation necessary to good relations between states. Nor is it sufficient in a democracy where public opinion plays an important part in foreign affairs to confine know¬ ledge of foreign policies and peoples to the select few who make up the go¬ vernment. Such understanding should be widespread among the peoples them¬ selves, so that public opinion, based upon an intelligent comprehension of the facts, can aot as a lever towards more friendly cobperation, rather than as a spur to jealous and rival aspirations. To bring about this better re¬ lationship, v/hich can be accomplished only by a better mutual understanding, every avenue of approach should be utilized. It is the purpose of this paper to utilize one of the avenues of approach by presenting, in an objective man¬ ner, the story of the early relations of the United States with what, in some respects, is the most powerful of the Latin American nations and, in all respects, is the most stabilized of our South American neighbors.

Hoffnung-Garskof, Co-Chair Professor Rebecca J. Scott, Co-Chair Associate Professor Paulina L. Alberto Professor Emerita Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Jean M. Hébrard, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales Professor Martha Jones To Paul ii Acknowledgments One of the great joys and privileges of being a historian is that researching and writing take us through many worlds, past and present, to which we become bound—ethically, intellectually, emotionally. Unfortunately, the acknowledgments section can be just a modest snippet of yearlong experiences and life-long commitments. Archivists and historians in Cuba and Spain offered extremely generous support at a time of severe economic challenges. In Havana, at the National Archive, I was privileged to get to meet and learn from Julio Vargas, Niurbis Ferrer, Jorge Macle, Silvio Facenda, Lindia Vera, and Berta Yaque. In Santiago, my research would not have been possible without the kindness, work, and enthusiasm of Maty Almaguer, Ana Maria Limonta, Yanet Pera Numa, María Antonia Reinoso, and Alfredo Sánchez. The directors of the two Cuban archives, Martha Ferriol, Milagros Villalón, and Zelma Corona, always welcomed me warmly and allowed me to begin my research promptly. My work on Cuba could have never started without my doctoral committee’s support. Rebecca Scott’s tireless commitment to graduate education nourished me every step of the way even when my self-doubts felt crippling.

  • Brazilian Images of the United States, 1861-1898: a Working Version of Modernity?
    Brazilian images of the United States, 1861-1898: A working version of modernity? Natalia Bas University College London PhD thesis I, Natalia Bas, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract For most of the nineteenth-century, the Brazilian liberal elites found in the ‘modernity’ of the European Enlightenment all that they considered best at the time. Britain and France, in particular, provided them with the paradigms of a modern civilisation. This thesis, however, challenges and complements this view by demonstrating that as early as the 1860s the United States began to emerge as a new model of civilisation in the Brazilian debate about modernisation. The general picture portrayed by the historiography of nineteenth-century Brazil is still today inclined to overlook the meaningful place that U.S. society had from as early as the 1860s in the Brazilian imagination regarding the concept of a modern society. This thesis shows how the images of the United States were a pivotal source of political and cultural inspiration for the political and intellectual elites of the second half of the nineteenth century concerned with the modernisation of Brazil. Drawing primarily on parliamentary debates, newspaper articles, diplomatic correspondence, books, student journals and textual and pictorial advertisements in newspapers, this dissertation analyses four different dimensions of the Brazilian representations of the United States. They are: the abolition of slavery, political and civil freedoms, democratic access to scientific and applied education, and democratic access to goods of consumption.

  • America's Color Coded War Plans and the Evolution of Rainbow Five
    TABLE OF CONTENTS: INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER I: THE MONROE DOCTRINE AND MILITARY PLANNING 8 CHAPTER II: MANIFEST DESTINY AND MILITARY PLANNING 42 CHAPTER III: THE EVOLUTION OF RAINBOW FIVE 74 CONCLUSION 119 BIBLIOGRAPHY 124 INTRODUCTION: During World War II, U.S. military forces pursued policies based in large part on the Rainbow Five war plan. Louis Morton argued in Strategy and Command: The First Two Years that “The early war plans were little more than abstract exercises and bore little relation to actual events.” 1 However, this thesis will show that the long held belief that the early war plans devised in the late 19 th and earlier 20 th centuries were exercises in futility is a mistaken one. The early color coded war plans served purposes far beyond that of just exercising the minds and intellect of the United States most gifted and talented military leaders. Rather, given the demands imposed by advances in military warfare and technology, contingency war planning was a necessary precaution required of all responsible powers at the dawn of the 20 th century. Also contrary to previous assumptions, America’s contingency war planning was a realistic response to the course of domestic and international affairs. The advanced war plan scenarios were based on actual real world alliances and developments in international relations, this truth defies previous criticisms that early war planners were not cognizant of world affairs or developments in U.S. bilateral relations with other nations. 2 This thesis reveals that the U.S. military’s color coded war plans were part of a clear, continuous evolution of American military strategy culminating in the creation of Rainbow Five, the Allied plan for victory during the Second World War.
