The candid reports provided by contemporary East European observers help us attain a more nuanced picture of Havana’s complex policy dilemmas as it sought to negotiate and navigate between its vast ambitions, limited abilities, Soviet bloc restraint, and the ever-present threat of a U.S. invasion. Finally, further in line with the latest advancements in the globalized Cold War historiography, in hearing the voices of Moscow’s junior partners, this article casts the events surrounding the tumultuous period in a broader Transatlantic setting beyond the shadows of the superpowers.KEYWORDS: CubaCentral AmericaCaribbeanCold WarSoviet bloc Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

The article accounts for the Amistad’s origins and its development, explaining the critical impact of the Second Vatican Council, which allowed for the eventual formal recognition of Madrid’s Jewish community by the Franco regime. The support received by a sector of the Spanish ecclesiastical hierarchy permitted the association to embark on a campaign to purge school textbooks from anti-Jewish content, and to condemn blood-libel traditions that were still very much alive in Spanish popular culture.

This research is focused on the analysis the characteristics which define the island phenomenon with the goal of understanding the peculiar significance of the composition of modern Macaronesian society during the consolidation of the Atlantic world at the time of the Iberian Union. In this regard, the islands of Macaronesia formed an essential terrain to feed and boost transatlantic circulation. The attraction of certain islands is their ability to cross distant paths, redistribute products and promote migratory flows in the Atlantic. In this way, the fluid contacts between islands of Macaronesia, which are complementary, promoted between the Castilian and Portuguese islanders not only a feeling of belonging to a supranational Iberian monarchy, but also a sensitivity of belonging to the same island region formed by a Portuguese and Spanish population of extrapeninsular origin with its nexus being it’s the Atlantic insularity.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"201 - 218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86300550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the mid-nineteenth century, Argentina was organised as a representative and federal republic. Congress became then the incarnation of the federation, the place where the representatives of all the districts met, and where congressmen regularly questioned Cabinet members. Focusing on those episodes, it examines how congressmen related to each other, the Executive, the public that followed the sessions in the Chamber, and the press. It takes into consideration drawings, pictures, photomechanical prints, lithographs, and cartoons of the Legislative and its members that provided a visual experience of Congress and affected its legitimacy.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"219 - 249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89914414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this article is to examine the continuities of the Spanish imperial dominion over New Orleans since the Louisiana Purchase up until the American Civil War, using the Spanish-speaking community as an observatory to trace them. Decades after the Louisiana Purchase, Spanish-speaking colonists and immigrants continued to inhabit New Orleans’ Vieux Carré, keeping various links to the former territories of the Spanish Monarchy, to the Peninsula and most specially to Cuba. The Spanish community generated new instruments of association as a group, such as bilingual newspapers, associations of mutual assistance, and its own militia. This heterogeneous community experienced in various ways the political upheavals affecting the Gulf of Mexico during the first six decades of the nineteenth century. This included diverse intents on behalf of the former metropole to exert different degrees of control over the community through various means, especially as Cuban separatism became a political force to be reckoned with in the Gulf.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":"251 - 271"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82848964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under the leadership of Plínio Salgado, its purpose was to create an original doctrine. Fascist politics were not restricted to Europe – it crossed borders and directly influenced Latin American politics. In view of this, this research adopts the principle that fascism is a transnational and transatlantic phenomenon. Latin American fascism was wide-reaching and strongly affected by Iberian countries. Amidst this context, the present analysis investigates the Brazilian fascist movement, integralism, an organization that has been culturally influenced by the Brazilian intellectual circularity, especially regarding its appropriation of Portuguese elements. The AIB gained unprecedented visibility in Brazil and was a major social institution in the 1930s but came to an end in 1937. This did not end Brazilian fascism – its activities continued under leader Plínio Salgado, who lived in exile in Portugal, when he reorganized his thoughts, actions, and political strategies. Integralism gained a new definition after World War II: António de Oliveira Salazar became the face of the corporatist politics of the movement and remained in this role until the end of integralism, marked by the death of Plínio Salgado in 1975.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"33 1","pages":"273 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78995134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the authors pay attention to cultural breaches and conceptual frameworks that underlay this process and generated new individual and social identities and behaviours. The contributions to this special issue are two-pronged. On the one hand, they question the widespread belief that welfare states arose as a result of socioeconomic transformations or undertakings by one political – ideological current or another. An alternative explanation is developed through their exploration of the crisis experienced by the classical liberal model of society and the new notions of the social as causal factors in shaping social reform policy. On the other hand, some of the articles will specifically focus on the pivotal role played by these mediations: discourses on gender and sexuality as constitutive elements of emerging visions of the social and society in the construction of social reform projects. As Marie Walin puts it, “the dark side of social reform” produced subjects whose exclusion from the category of social citizenship was articulated around notions of gender and sexuality that were open or subtly grounded in historical hierarchies. Finally, given that hygiene and eugenics were embedded in social reform from the outset, their specific function in the process under analysis will be disentangled.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"1 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85960882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
