It argues that modern notions of sovereignty in the Atlantic world have been unstable, contested, and equivocal from the start. It shows how much contemporary notions of sovereignty emerged in the Americas as a response to European imperial crises in the age of revolutions. Jeremy Adelman reveals how many modern day uncertainties about property, citizenship, and human rights were forged in an epic contest over the very nature of state power in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Sovereignty and Revolution in the Iberian Atlantic offers a new understanding of Latin American and Atlantic history, one the blurs traditional distinctions between the "imperial" and the "colonial." It shows how the Spanish and Portuguese empires responded to the pressures of rival states and merchant capitalism in the eighteenth century. As empires adapted, the ties between colonies and mother countries transformed, recreating trans-Atlantic bonds of loyalty and interests. In the end, colonies repudiated their Iberian loyalties not so much because they sought independent nationhood. Rather, as European conflicts and revolutions swept across the Atlantic, empires were no longer viable models of sovereignty-and there was less to be loyal to. The Old Regimes collapsed before subjects began to imagine new ones in their place. The emergence of Latin American nations - indeed many of our contemporary notions of sovereignty - was the effect, and not the cause, of th breakdown of European empires. 000332443 650_0 $$aSovereignty$$xHistory. 000332443 651_0 $$aLatin America$$xHistory$$xAutonomy and independence movements. 000332443 651_0 $$aSpain$$xColonies$$xAdministration$$xHistory. 000332443 651_0 $$aSpain$$xColonies$$xEconomic conditions. 000332443 85200 $$bgen$$hF1412$$i.A34$$i2006 000332443 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0618/2006024296.html 000332443 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0668/2006024296-d.html 000332443 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0734/2006024296-b.html 000332443 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:332443$$pGLOBAL_SET 000332443 980__ $$aBIB 000332443 980__ $$aBOOK
