Legal Pluralism and Empires, 1500-1850
Author: Richard J. Ross
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814771165
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Historians used to imagine empire as an imperial power extending total domination over its colonies. Now, however, they understand empire as a site in which colonies and their constitutions were regulated by legal pluralism: layered and multicentric systems of law, which incorporated or preserved the law of conquered subjects. By placing the study of law in diverse early modern empires under the rubric of legal pluralism, Legal Pluralism and Empires, 1500-1850 offers both legal scholars and historians a much-needed framework for analyzing the complex and fluid legal politics of empires. Contributors analyze how ideas about law moved across vast empires, how imperial agents and imperial subjects used law, and how relationships between local legal practices and global ones played themselves out in the early modern world. The book’s tremendous geographical breadth, including the British, French, Spanish, Ottoman, and Russian empires, gives readers the most comparative examination of legal pluralism to date. Lauren Benton is Professor of History, Affiliated Professor of Law, and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Science at New York University. Her books include A Search for Sovereignty: Law and Geography in European Empires, 1400-1900 and Law and Colonial Cultures: Legal Regimes in World History, 1400-1900. Richard J. Ross is Professor of Law and History at the University of Illinois (Urbana/Champaign) and Director of the Symposium on Comparative Early Modern Legal History. With Steven Wilf, he is currently working on a book, entitled: The Beginnings of American Law: A Comparative Study.

Creolization and Contraband
Author: Linda M. Rupert
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820343056
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
DIVWhen Curaçao came under Dutch control in 1634, the small island off South America's northern coast was isolated and sleepy. The introduction of increased trade (both legal and illegal) led to a dramatic transformation, and Curaçao emerged as a major hub within Caribbean and wider Atlantic networks. It would also become the commercial and administrative seat of the Dutch West India Company in the Americas. The island's main city, Willemstad, had a non-Dutch majority composed largely of free blacks, urban slaves, and Sephardic Jews, who communicated across ethnic divisions in a new creole language called Papiamentu. For Linda M. Rupert, the emergence of this creole language was one of the two defining phenomena that gave shape to early modern Curaçao. The other was smuggling. Both developments, she argues, were informal adaptations to life in a place that was at once polyglot and regimented. They were the sort of improvisations that occurred wherever expanding European empires thrust different peoples together. Creolization and Contraband uses the history of Curaçao to develop the first book-length analysis of the relationship between illicit interimperial trade and processes of social, cultural, and linguistic exchange in the early modern world. Rupert argues that by breaking through multiple barriers, smuggling opened particularly rich opportunities for cross-cultural and interethnic interaction. Far from marginal, these extra-official exchanges were the very building blocks of colonial society./div

Te Presento a Jesucristo

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
"Te Presento a Jesucristo" contiene algunas de las vivencias que el Rev. Samuel MacAdam ha tenido con el Señor Jesús durante gran parte de su carrera ministerial. Han sido escritas como una evidencia de la realidad de la vida cristiana y como un testimonio para aquellos que no conocen a Jesucristo. Pero también para compartir con el creyente de hoy aquellas otras facetas propias de Jesús, que tal vez podrían ser desconocidas para algunos de ellos. Cada una de ellas tiene su propia connotación en la vida del autor, y es su testimonio acerca de la personalidad de JESUCRISTO no pretendiendo establecer un patrón de conducta evangélica como una forma personal.
