Download or read book Mapping the Country of Regions written by Nancy P. Appelbaum and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth century was an era of breathtakingly ambitious geographic expeditions across the Americas. The seminal Chorographic Commission of Colombia, which began in 1850 and lasted about a decade, was one of Latin America's most extensive. The commission's mandate was to define and map the young republic and its resources with an eye toward modernization. In this history of the commission, Nancy P. Appelbaum focuses on the geographers' fieldwork practices and visual production as the men traversed the mountains, savannahs, and forests of more than thirty provinces in order to delineate the country's territorial and racial composition. Their assumptions and methods, Appelbaum argues, contributed to a long-lasting national imaginary. What jumps out of the commission's array of reports, maps, sketches, and paintings is a portentous tension between the marked differences that appeared before the eyes of the geographers in the field and the visions of sameness to which they aspired. The commissioners and their patrons believed that a prosperous republic required a unified and racially homogeneous population, but the commission's maps and images paradoxically emphasized diversity and helped create a "country of regions." By privileging the whiter inhabitants of the cool Andean highlands over those of the boiling tropical lowlands, the commission left a lasting but problematic legacy for today's Colombians.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colombian Navigator, or Sailing Directory for the American Coasts and the West-Indies, Vol. 1: Comprehending, the Florida or Gulf-Stream, and Bermudas' Islands; The Coasts and Harbours of Nova-Scotia, of the Bay of Fundy, and the United States, From Sable Island and Halifax to Cape Florida; The Mexican Sea, or Gulf of Mexico The assistance of several intelligent friends enables us, at length, to present another work, nearly under the same title, which will be found much more accurate and complete than the former; and, with truth, we may say, than any other, of a similar description, which has hitherto appeared. SO essentially different is it from the Columbian Navigator, that it may be strictly considered as a New Work; and, as such, we submit it to future correction; being sensible, after all our care, that it is not perfect.
