Connections After Colonialism: Europe and Latin America in the 1820s

I am pleased to announce that Connections after Colonialism: Europe and Latin America in the 1820s, which I've co-edited with Dr. Matthew Brown of the University of Bristol, will be published by the University of Alabama Press by the end of this year (it is presently in page proof stage). Here is a link to the Alabama webpage with more information. It also may be pre-ordered via Amazon.

The book emerges from the "Re-thinking the 1820s" symposium that Dr. Brown and I co-organized in May 2009. Additional essays on the topic may be found in the special issue of European History Quarterly we guest-edited in July 2011.

Bicentenary of the 1812 Spanish Constitution

I've participated in a number of events commemorating the bicentenary of the 1812 Spanish Constitution (better known outside of the U.S. and Britain as the Constitution of Cadiz). I am thrilled to have been asked to participate in a roundtable discussion hosted by the Instituto Cervantes in New York City on May 30! Click here for more info.
