Synopsis Llave del Nuevo Mundo by : José Martín Félix de Arrate

José Martín Félix de Arrate Acosta; nació en la Habana en 1701, fue historiador y político. Vinculado por lazos de consanguinidad a las más prestigiosas familias de la oligarquía habanera de la etapa. Se le considera como el primer historiador de Cuba por muchos ilustrados cubanos. Fue Regidor perpetuo del ayuntamiento de la Habana. Es el autor de Llave del Nuevo Mundo que constituye una muestra acabada de criollismo y modernidad, de la cual no se ha encontrado el manuscrito original y que refleja el modo de percibir Cuba, sus poblaciones y recursos sintetizando casi dos siglos de colonización española. Llave del Nuevo Mundo es una descripción completa de la sociedad cubana del siglo XVIII. La obra abarca cinco puntos: geografía y naturaleza, economía, unciones de las autoridades y magistraturas, cronología civil y eclesiástica, y una crónica cultural. «Por ser resguardo y conservación de los dilatados dominios en la vasta jurisdicción de la América [decidiose...] distinguir y conceder a La Habana, llamándola Llave del Nuevo Mundo y Antemural de las Indias Occidentales.» José Martín Félix de Arrate

Synopsis Domesticating Empire by : Karen Stolley

Why has the work of writers in eighteenth-century Latin America been forgotten? During the eighteenth century, enlightened thinkers in Spanish territories in the Americas engaged in lively exchanges with their counterparts in Europe and Anglo-America about a wide range of topics of mutual interest, responding in the context of increasing racial and economic diversification. Yet despite recent efforts to broaden our understanding of the global Enlightenment, the Ibero-American eighteenth century has often been overlooked. Through the work of five authors--Jose de Oviedo y Banos, Juan Ignacio Molina, Felix de Azara, Catalina de Jesus Herrera, and Jose Martin Felix de Arrate--Domesticating Empire explores the Ibero-American Enlightenment as a project that reflects both key Enlightenment concerns and the particular preoccupations of Bourbon Spain and its territories in the Americas. At a crucial moment in Spain's imperial trajectory, these authors domesticate topics central to empire--conquest, Indians, nature, God, and gold--by making them familiar and utilitarian. As a result, their works later proved resistant to overarching schemes of Latin American literary history and have been largely forgotten. Nevertheless, eighteenth-century Ibero-American writing complicates narratives about both the Enlightenment and Latin American cultural identity.
