This ambitious book brings to light the story of what Jose F. BuscagliaSalgado terms mulatajethe ways Caribbean aesthetics offer the possibility of the ultimate erasure of racial difference. Undoing Empire gives a broad panorama stretchingfrom the complex politics of medieval Iberian societies to the beginning of direct U.S. hegemony in the Caribbean at the end of the nineteenth century. BuscagliaSalgado begins with an examination of Washington Irvings American Columbiad as an act of historical and territorial plundering. He then traces the roots of mulatto society to the pre1492 Iberian world, not only finding a connection between the Moors of Old Spain and the morenosthe blacks and mulattos of the New Worldbut also offering a profound critique of creole and imperial discourses. BuscagliaSalgado reads the pursuit and contestation of what he terms the European Ideal in colonial texts, architecture, and paintings; then identifies the mulatto movement of undoing the Ideal in the wars that shook the nineteenthcentury Caribbean from Haiti to Cuba, arguing that certain projects of national liberation have moved contrary to the historical claims to freedom in the mulatto world.

I bought 'Undoing Empire' for a class on Caribbean studies, and it really opened my eyes. The way it addresses race and nationhood in the context of the Mulatto Caribbean is deeply insightful. It’s a dense read but worth it for anyone interested in the topic.

Interesting, But Not What I Expected
I picked up this book thinking it would be more of a straightforward history, but it’s definitely more academic. The discussions on race are important, but the writing can get a bit heavy at times. Still, I found some valuable perspectives.
