It examines the impact of Enlightenment political thought on Spanish imperial policy as well as the intellectual repercussions of empire. Based on archival research undertaken in Spain, Cuba, Argentina and Chile, the study bridges the long standing divides that have separated Intellectual from Imperial History as well as Spanish from Latin American History. Paquette's book also integrates the Spanish experience into the broader framework of European imperialism, thus placing his subject in comparative and transnational context. |
