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.

Publication of Enlightened Reform in Southern Europe and its Atlantic Colonies, c. 1750-1830

I am very pleased to announce that the volume that I had the honor of editing has just appeared in print. Enlightened Reform in Southern Europe and its Atlantic Colonies, c. 1750-1830 is now available from Ashgate. There are links on the Ashgate webpage to my introduction as well as the Table of Contents.

The volume appears almost exactly two years after the contributors convened at Trinity College, Cambridge to discuss the themes which are now available to a wider audience in book form. Details about the December 2007 conference are available here.
