Kislak Center at the University of Miami

Join us for an evening with Cristina Soriano as she discusses her new book project, “Between Two Crowns: Trinidad and the Trans-imperial Age of Revolutions” in a presentation moderated by Jay I. Kislak Chair and Curator Daniel Arbino.
In the book, Soriano explores revolutionary transformations in the Atlantic World from the perspective of a trans-imperial colony. She focuses on the island of Trinidad in the late 18th century during the transition from Spanish to British rule, analyzing the ways by which imperial forces and colonial governments implemented innovative empire-building strategies to deal with revolutionary change.
“Between Two Crowns” seeks to reconstruct the history of the multiple “experiments” undertaken by the Spanish and British empires in a multiracial, multilingual, and multicultural island during the challenging period of the Atlantic Revolutions.
Following the presentation, there will be a Q&amp;A with the audience.
