Originally published in 1994, Torn between Empires is considered a classic and a pioneer work in the creation of the field of Hispanic Caribbean history. After nineteen years, the University of Georgia Press reissued it in 2013. This in-depth, regional and comparative study focuses on the economy, society and political culture of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic in the middle decades of the 19th century. It draws heavily on archival sources in North America, Europe and the Caribbean.
