Zusammenfassung: | "A Fortified Sea illuminates the role of forts in the greater Caribbean during the long eighteenth century. The historical Caribbean, with its multiple contested boundaries at the periphery of European western expansion, typically has been analyzed as part of an empire. European powers, including Spain, the Netherlands, England, and Denmark, carved up the Caribbean Sea into a cultural patchwork. These varied cultural contexts appeared especially evident during regional and national conflicts throughout the eighteenth century, prompting the need for fortifications to protect imperial interests. The emergence of Anglo-American colonies during the eighteenth century and later the United States gradually modified previous geopolitical balances, redefining the cultural and geopolitical boundaries of the region. This edited volume incorporates several historiographical traditions-from Spanish to American-all portraying the borderland as a breakthrough contested cultural, social, economic, and military boundary. A multinational roster of contributors approaches topics through a war studies lens as well as architecturally and historically, enriching a usually monothematic view. As well, discussion of cultural management of the historical remains of forts shows local communities trying to preserve and interpret the role of forts in society. Chapters in Part I define the training of military engineers in Spain. Part II chapters engage with British defensive military plans and settlements in the Caribbean and how the British dealt with the rhetorical image of the empire. Chapters in Part III clarify the building processes of fortifications in Santiago de Cuba, Cartagena de Indias, Havana, and Veracruz, among other places. Copious period maps complement the prodigious research" |
