Abstract

Spanish Louisiana (1766-1803) was probably the most prolonged and open Spanish experimentin free trade. The colony’s riverine ports of New Orleans and Natchez were awash intrans-imperial trade from France, British colonies, and especially the new North Americanempire. This trade flowed through both ports in both directions, upriver and down, constantlyrecirculating - but through the U.S. economy, and not that of metropolitan Spain.Louisiana’s riverine planters and merchants simultaneously owned plantations, stores, andships, and enjoyed access to ready capital and multiple sources of produce, goods and slaves.By the 1790s, these men and sometimes women no longer needed to see themselves as Spanish,and moved closer in their political discourse to that of the people already labeled losAmericanos. Therefore, even before 1803, riverine Louisiana was already both trans-imperialand, in the broadest sense, American.
充斥着跨帝国贸易:1783-1803年的西班牙新奥尔良人和纳切兹
西班牙的路易斯安那州(1766-1803)可能是西班牙自由贸易试验中时间最长、最开放的一个。殖民地的内河港口新奥尔良和纳茨充斥着来自法国、英国殖民地,尤其是新北美帝国的帝国内部贸易。这种贸易通过两个港口双向流动,上上下下,不断循环,但通过美国经济,而不是西班牙大都市的经济。路易斯安那州的河边种植园主和商人同时拥有种植园、商店和船只,并享有现成的资本和多种农产品、商品和奴隶来源。到了1790年代,这些男人,有时还有女人,不再需要把自己视为西班牙人,他们的政治话语更接近于那些已经被贴上losAmericanos标签的人。因此,即使在1803年之前,路易斯安那州就已经是一个跨帝国的州,从最广泛的意义上说,也是美国的州。

期刊介绍: Illes i Imperis is a journal that has been published by the GRIMSE (Research Group on Empires, Metropolis and Extra-European Societies) since 1998. It aims to publish studies on colonial and postcolonial societies. The objectives of the editorial board are patently open. They admit all means of approaching colonial societies and their subsequent realities, provided they meet the quality requirements that are characteristic of the social sciences in our era. We accept and promote the publication of historical papers, although we also welcome contributions from other areas of the social sciences. Illes i Imperis disseminates studies, texts and quantitative materials, it provides references and offers bibliographical commentaries, in addition to information on activities of interest to scholars and those intrigued by the history of societies in the colonial and postcolonial world. In short, the journal strives to serve as a platform for airing the academic concerns of those who take an interest in studying these societies. GRIMSE’s interests have taken a preferential leaning towards studies on Latin America, the Philippines and Southeast Asia; on North Africa; and in relation to the Hispanic metropolitan world during the 15th to 20th centuries. Nevertheless, the journal is not only focussed on studies in this field; rather, in general, it serves as a platform for the publication of academic papers on other areas and periods. We are particularly motivated by studies on other empires (the Portuguese, French, English and Dutch empires, etc.), comparative perspectives and, broadly speaking, analyses that are forged on the basis of typical concerns in the field of World History.
