... and the Portes Gil government to plot a way out of the religious crisis. It did so by providing a mutually acceptable means for priests to register with the postrevolutionary state and by providing a discursive mechanism for the Catholic clergy to present itself to the regime as a national, less Rome-oriented...

... with their home in West Central Africa. In meticulously unraveling this slave plot, Pirola places it within the context of broader historiographical issues.

... in its broader aspects. Late in 1807 Charles IV discovered that his son and heir Fernando and a group of powerful nobles were plotting to overthrow his chief minister Godoy so as to impose the prince upon the government. Ferdinand abjectly admitted his guilt; he was pardoned; and a fruitless trial of his...

... this issue. While it is important to document the simultaneous existence of common fields alongside plots held in severality by specific households, my larger aim is to show that a dynamic, mutually constitutive relationship existed between these two tenure regimes. In that sense, I contend that individual...

... version of how they had become the owners of hacienda Taraco. The Monteses claimed that Taraco was not communal land when they bought the property from other private landholders.

... lay behind the hated constitution of 1843; his secret plot with General Andrés de Santa Cruz to erect thrones in Quito, Lima, and La Paz; and the Spanish filibuster project of 1846. The complete exclusion of information about Flores’s monarchist intrigues presents a more favorable view of the first...

Much of the abundant available literature polarizes the slaves’ reaction to slavery along an either-or axis of resistance or accommodation...

... referred to Portugal, the Portuguese, and their project of consolidating the Portuguese empire. In fact, the plot of Caramuru was created by Portuguese authors and was, for a long time, disseminated by and among the Portuguese.

... plots. 42 The governor ordered Argueta to add many more names to the list, resulting in a total of 491 comuneros . 43 Despite these advances, however, the community still failed to allot the required amount of lands, even after an 1891 decree that established national guidelines and a timetable...

... and helped to round out the story. The organization of the volume leaves something to be desired. Too many minor figures, testifying to the events of July 20, 1923, are introduced too quickly to permit the reader to assess adequately their role in the plot. The loose ends are eventually tied up...

Those unwelcome tidings were followed by the arrival at Buenos Aires of English newspapers with accounts of the imminent collapse of Spanish resistance to French domination.

...David M. Pletcher Miguel E. Soto gives us a little fresh material on Spain’s plot during the first half of the war to install a European monarch on a Mexican throne, anticipating Napoleon III by almost 20 years.

... and the prevailing economic conditions of Minas Gerais, the author presents an explanation of the conspiracy’s failure and the reason for its betrayal.

... to think that Ecuador was ungovernable under republican forms, and how he became “the center of a major plot to restore monarchy in South America” (p. 8). In so doing, Van Aken also shows that monarchism was a much more important force than commonly thought, not only in Ecuador, but also throughout Latin...

... farming systems, historical ecologists, and the framers of current environmental and land use policy. The latter chapter includes valuable, systematic comparisons between the nature of pre-Hispanic and recent lakeshore agrarian systems. More contemporary chinampa plots are larger, and they integrate...

.... A valuable feature of the study is the tracing of historians’ words and silences respecting the “plot,” “conspiracy,” “intrigue,” or whatever one decides to call it.
