Michel Gobat’s extensively researched and well-argued interrogation of William Walker’s failed imperial venture in Nicaragua, seeks to place this often overlooked historical episode into the broader narrative of US imperial expansion. Gobat examines a myriad of primary sources, most importantly the pro-Walker newspaper El Nicaragüense, which allows him to reconsider slavery’s role in defining Walker’s imperial ambitions. Walker decreed slavery legal on September 22, 1856, countering the actions of Nicaragua’s Constituent Assembly, which had abolished slavery in 1824.

中美洲的明显命运 - 邀请帝国:威廉沃克和中美洲的明显命运。作者:米歇尔·戈巴特 剑桥:哈佛大学出版社,2018 年。第 384 页。布 39.95 美元。

米歇尔·戈巴特 (Michel Gobat) 对威廉·沃克 (William Walker) 在尼加拉瓜的帝国冒险失败进行了广泛研究和充分论证,试图将这一经常被忽视的历史事件置于美国帝国扩张的更广泛叙事中。Gobat 检查了无数主要来源,最重要的是亲沃克报纸 El Nicaragüense,这让他能够重新考虑奴隶制在定义沃克帝国野心方面的作用。沃克于 1856 年 9 月 22 日宣布奴隶制合法,反对尼加拉瓜制宪议会于 1824 年废除奴隶制的行动。
