The Oxford Handbook of Revolutionary Elections in the Americas, 1800-1910, presents a unique comparative political history spanning from Jefferson's election to the campaign that led to the Mexican revolution of 1910. By focusing on revolutionary elections-those of a contested, contentious nature that bore highly consequential outcomes-this volume sheds light on how institutions were inaugurated or transformed, how substantial issues were settled, and how political behaviour was changed. After offering overviews of the electoral history of the United States, Latin America and Canada, the Handbook examines key elections in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, México, Perú, the US and Venezuela. Case studies of individual countries then serve as the basis for wider continental analysis of electoral violence, electoral corruption and electoral administration before concluding with some reflections on the need to approach the political history of the Americas from a comparative perspective. This wide lens makes this volume a novel contribution to the study of elections and an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand electoral politics and democracy in broader context.

Re-imagining Democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean, 1780-1870 examines the ways in which the ancient concept of “democracy” was re-imagined as relevant to the modern world in Latin America and the Caribbean between the later eighteenth and later nineteenth centuries. In most regions this process largely followed the French Revolution, while in Latin America it more closely followed independence movements of the 1810s and 20s.A sequel to two previous volumes edited by Joanna Innes and Mark Philp, Re-imagining Democracy in the Age of Revolutions: America, France, Britain, Ireland 1750-1850 and Re-imagining Democracy in the Mediterranean 1770-1860, this volume studies how a variety of political actors and commentators used “democracy” to characterize or debate modern conditions through the ensuing half-century. By 1870, it was firmly established in mainstream political lexicons throughout the region.Here, specialists in the field contribute wide-ranging accounts of aspects of the context in which the word was re-imagined, highlighting state formation, race, constitutionalism, urban political culture, education, and outside views of the region — the six concluding chapters explore differences in its fortune from location to location. Ultimately, this edited volume deftly explores the history of the language of democracy and encourages new debates about its meaning.

This is a study of the role of regions in the development of modern nations in Latin America. Eduardo Posada-Carbó focuses on the Colombian Caribbean between 1870 and 1950. He examines the achievements and shortcomings of arable agriculture and the significance of the livestock industry, the link between town and countryside, the influence of foreign migrants and foreign capital, the relationship between local and national politics, and the extent to which regionalism represented a challenge to the consolidation of the national state in Colombia. This original study opens up the area to scholarly scrutiny for the first time, and has wider implications for Latin American historiography.
