The years between the accession of the house of Bourbon to the Spanish throne in 1700 and the coronation of Carlos III in 1759 have often been bundled up, and dismissed, together with the later years of Habsburg rule. Growing out of the first Anglophone academic workshop to focus exclusively on Early Bourbon Spanish America, this collective volume gives prominence to the first half of the eighteenth century as a distinct historical period. Discussing from different methodological and geographical perspectives the ways in which the Bourbon succession, international competition over access to Spanish American resources, and war affected the Indies, the contributors examine some of the key changes experienced in Spanish America at the local, provincial and imperial level.

"La hipótesis central de esta publicación propone que los cambios administrativos introducidos por los Borbones durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII […] deben su origen a la política reformista del primer Borbón, Felipe V. […] El objetivo de la obra no es tanto mostrar un relato cronológico y coherente de la primera mitad del siglo XVIII, cuanto presentar estudios de casos sobre el funcionamiento del imperio español, a raíz de la Guerra de Sucesión Española. Dicho conflicto es, en efecto, el punto de partida de los editores para explicar la importancia de estudiar la historia de Hispanoamérica en relación directa con España y sus otros territorios coloniales. De ese modo, este libro es “atlántico” en sus planteamientos centrales. No obstante, alejándose de algunos argumentos un tanto monolíticos y esencialistas de cierta historiografía norteamericana y europea, la obra es también una demostración de historias pequeñas y actores relativamente desconocidos, los cuales dan dinamismo a una época que, siguiendo el análisis del artículo inicial de Christopher Storr, continúa siendo historiográficamente bastante oscura. […] Así, como todo proceso histórico de largo alcance, el reformismo Borbón fue una política de Estado que transcurrió por diversas coyunturas, cambios y transformaciones, desde que Felipe V asumiera el trono español. El solo hecho de subrayar esta realidad hace de este libro un aporte de primera línea." – Juan Luis Ossa Santa Cruz, in: Historia (Santiago) 47/1 (2014) [Full review]

An amazing and detailed depiction of war, loss, survival and finding love despite it all. The characters are well fleshed out and flawed but deeply relatable. The actual story and premise of the book is brilliant, with plot twists you would never expect. Devastating and beautiful.
Bittersoet liefdesverhaal van onwaarskynlike pasmaats wat mekaar vind
Klopdans vir die hart, die nuwe Romanza uit die pen van René van Zyl, kon net so wel in die Inspirasie-subgenre tuis gewees het. Nie alleen is dit ’n bittersoet liefdesverhaal van twee onwaarskynlike pasmaats wat mekaar oor die loop van ’n week leer ken nie. Dit is ook vir Caitlin ’n ondersoekende reis na die Here, ’n proses om lewenslange verwerping en liefdeloosheid te bowe te kom.
Om dit ’n reisverhaal te noem, maak egter ook goeie sin. Caitlin en Aiden word deur die dominerende en hartelose matriarg van die Fitzgeralds, Ierland toe gestuur vir ’n wegbreek vir paartjies. Anders as wat dikwels gebeur wanneer die toneel verskuif na ’n ander land, word die leser hier nie verveel met eindelose skilder van die omgewing nie. Inteendeel, die bekoorlike omgewing word geïnkorporeer in die program van die wegbreekweek. Elke leser kan baie leer oor die huwelik uit die leidrade wat byvoorbeeld verskaf word vir die fietsreis deur die omgewing.
René van Zyl se liefde vir en kennis van Ierland, kastele en katedrale skemer deur in die oortuigende storielyn. So ook spreek die toneel van ’n pa en ’n gestremde seun uit eie ervaring.
As jy hierdie Romanza van Lapa Uitgewers aankoop, hetsy in gedrukte of e-formaat, sal dit geld baie goed gespandeer wees. Ek kan waarborg dat jy nie onaangeraak sal wees nie.
