This article considers two key moments in the Dominican War of Restoration (1863-1865), fought against the Spanish reoccupation of the territory after annexation in 1861. The course of the fighting demonstrates how residents of the former republic had a keen sense of regional context. Specifically, Dominicans were acutely conscious of the ongoing threat of slavery that surrounded them and the attacks and reversals of the period in general. Documents reveal that memory of the institution also persisted in the territory itself. New archival research promises to reveal more about popular thought of the era, as well as bonds of connection to citizens (and institutions) in Haiti. The War of Restoration is an example of these connections, exhibiting ideologies of political federation whose roots extend to the beginning of the century. It is a story that connects the radicalism of pan-Caribbean visions of the period of the Haitian Revolution and continental independence to movements at the end of the nineteenth-century and beyond. Resumen: Este articulo considera dos momentos claves de la Guerra de la Restauracion dominicana (1863-1865), en la cual se combatio una reocupacion espanola luego de la anexion en 1861. El curso de la lucha anticolonial demuestra que en la extinguida republica existia una consciencia aguda del contexto regional. Especificamente, los dominicanos estaban muy conscientes de la amenaza de la esclavitud aun vigente en su entorno y de los ataques y reveses del periodo en general. La documentacion existente revela tambien una memoria de la institucion que perduraba en el territorio mismo. Nuevos trabajos archivisticos prometen revelar mas sobre el pensamiento popular del periodo y tambien sobre las relaciones colaborativas que existian con ciudadanos (e instituciones) en Haiti. La Guerra de la Restauracion es ejemplo de estas conexiones, revelando ideologias de federacion politica cuyas raices se extienden hasta principios de siglo. Es una historia que conecta el radicalismo de las visiones pan-caribenas de la epoca de la revolucion haitiana e independencia continental a los movimientos del fin del siglo y mas alla. Resume: Cet article examine deux moments-cles de la Guerre de la Restauration dominicaine (1863-1865), dans laquelle les Dominicains ont lutte contre la reoccupation espagnole obtenue a travers l’offre d’annexion de 1861. Cette periode de lutte anticoloniale prouve l’existence d’une conscience aigue des Dominicains, du contexte regional sous la republique. Ils etaient tres conscients de la menace de l’esclavage qui planait sur leur pays durant cette epoque. Les documents revelent egalement qu’une memoire de l’institution existait deja depuis longtemps. De nouveaux travaux d’archives promettent d’apporter plus d’informations sur la pensee populaire de l’epoque, ainsi que sur les collaborations entre les citoyens et les institutions haitiennes. La Guerre de la Restauration est un exemple des idees de federation politique existantes depuis le debut du siecle. C’est une histoire qui relie le mouvement radical des visions pan-caribeennes de l’epoque de la Revolution haitienne et des soulevements de l’independance sur le continent aux autres mouvements datant de la fin du XIXe siecle et au-dela.

Las ramas del árbol de la libertad: la guerra de la restauración en la república dominicana y haití

This article argues that the passage of Irma and María—the two destructive hurricanes of September 2017 that brought so much death and destruction to the Caribbean islands—offers us a chance to reassess the political relevance of the old idea of a regional Antillean League. After revisiting the historical ideas of the Confederación Antillana, a political pan‐regional union spearheaded by Puerto Rican and Cuban revolutionaries during the late nineteenth century, and the difficulties and complexities of the West Indies Federation of the late 1950s, I argue that an Antillean League is perhaps a more relevant idea today than in the past, that it should be thought of as a series of locally‐rooted and interconnected sovereign practices revolving primarily around land control, and that the Caribbean diasporas living in the large urban centers in the West have a fundamental role to play in this Antillean League. The article revolves primarily around the post‐María experience in the island of Puerto Rico.

Anti-Colonial Awakenings: The Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Panama, 1820s–Early 1900s

Haitian seasonal migration to Cuba is central to narratives about race, national development, and US imperialism in the early twentieth-century Caribbean. Filling a major gap in the literature, this innovative study reconstructs Haitian guestworkers' lived experiences as they moved among the rural and urban areas of Haiti, and the sugar plantations, coffee farms, and cities of eastern Cuba. It offers an unprecedented glimpse into the daily workings of empire, labor, and political economy in Haiti and Cuba. Migrants' efforts to improve their living and working conditions and practice their religions shaped migration policies, economic realities, ideas of race, and Caribbean spirituality in Haiti and Cuba as each experienced US imperialism.

RESUMO E objetivo deste artigo discutir o antiescravismo no Caribe espanhol atraves da atuacao do cubano Antonio Maceo (1845-1896) e do porto-riquenho Ramon Emeterio Betances (1827-1898). A pesquisa busca reconstituir o ambiente politico do Caribe espanhol no periodo de 1863 a 1881, no contexto de guerras de independencia, e o protagonismo especifico de homens negros que reivindicaram solidariedade racial na luta pela abolicao da escravidao. A partir de algumas correspondencias e documentos produzidos por Maceo e Betances (ou com sua participacao), e da documentacao gerada pelas autoridades coloniais, serao discutidas a construcao de redes e conexoes transnacionais, com base racial, pelos ativistas que lutavam contra a escravidao e as discriminacoes e por direitos politicos integrais. Chamo especial atencao para a interlocucao com os haitianos e para a insistente referencia ao Haiti no vocabulario politico daqueles ativistas.
