The nonrandom clustering of galaxies and clusters of galaxies has attracted increasing attention in the past 40 years. The mathematical tests and criteria used to distinguish between an observed distribution and a Poisson, i.e., random, statistically uniform distribution, are outlined. The observational evidence for (and against) hierarchical clustering of galaxies and clusters on various characteristic length scales A from 0.1 Mpc to at least 100 Mpc, is reviewed. Some cosmological implications and possible origins of the clustering spectrum are discussed. Key words: galaxies -clusters of galaxies 1. Introduction 2. Subclustering: pairs and multiplets (A -0.1 Mpc) 3. Small-scale clustering: groups and small clusters (A -1 Mpc) 4. Statistical principles 5. Index of dumpiness and dispersion-subdivision curves 6. Correlation techniques and power spectrum analysis 7. Galactic absorption effects A. Average effects B. Fluctuation effects 8. Medium-scale clustering: large clusters, cloud complexes, and superclusters (A -10 Mpc) 9. The distribution of rich clusters A. The Zwicky Catalog B. The Abell Catalog 10.

“…In the eighteenth century, as ethnic pedigree became less helpful to organize differences, the cabildo (municipal council) authorities indicated that "the poor and free people whose only livelihood is to serve, those part of the 'serving class', or those 'serving'" (the gente de servicio) had the duty to find a master who would be accountable for them. 246 The "serving class" did not only comprise indigenous people or mestizos, but also every poor and free person who could only survive by working for a more powerful person.…”

“…US consuls in Havana made lots of money providing sea letters (a kind of license for vessels and cargo) to traffickers, and the senator for Rhode Island James DeWolf made a fortune through the trade. 246 Despite the Law of November 7, 1831, stating that "all the slaves who enter the territory or ports of Brazil, coming from abroad, are free," Brazil imported over one million enslaved Africans from the time of independence to the early 1850s. The 1831 law became known as the lei para inglês ver (law for the British to see) -both a cruel joke and an act of defiance.…”

“…244 The Court adopted the judicial practice of interpretation across jurisdictions, 245 relying in part on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). 246 For example, it referred to the ECHR's verdict in Kurt v. Turkey, which emphasized "the fundamental importance of the guarantees contained in Article 5 [of the European Convention of Human Rights] for securing the right of individuals in a democracy to be free from arbitrary detention at the hands of the authorities" or the obligation to interpret narrowly any exception to "a most basic guarantee of individual freedom." 247 Drawing on these European precedents, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights developed distinctive doctrines regarding the legal dimensions of enforced disappearance, most particularly, concerning the responsibility of the state for crimes committed by individuals who complied with its orders.…”

The Cambridge History of Latin American Law in Global Perspective

Covering the precolonial period to the present, The Cambridge History of Latin American Law in Global Perspective provides a comprehensive overview of Latin American law, revealing the vast commonalities and differences within the continent as well as entanglements with countries around the world. Bringing together experts from across the Americas and Europe, this innovative treatment of Latin American law explains how law operated in different historical settings, introduces a wide variety of sources of legal knowledge, and focuses on law as a social practice. It sheds light on topics such as the history of indigenous peoples' laws, the significance of religion in law, Latin American independences, national constitutions and codifications, human rights, dictatorships, transitional justice and legal pluralism, and a broad panorama of key aspects of the history of statehood and law. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

“…The foundational works in the field, such as those by Arthur Corwin and David Murray, focused on British influence on the development of anti-slave trade legislation. 9 More recently, however, works by, Josep Fradera, Christopher Schmidt-Nowara, Martín Rodrigo, José Antonio Piqueras, Manuel Barcia and Emily Berquist, among others, have provided more innovative approaches to the construction and circulation of abolitionist ideas in the Spanish Empire during the nineteenth century. 10 Spain officially abolished the slave trade in 1820, but its effective eradication took place only around fifty years later.…”

History 'is, at last, impossible'. 1 No single narrative, study, research, or reconstruction of events can capture the complexity of human existence. No single narrative can tell us the story of everything and everyone that has ever existed. Nor it can describe with a genuine level of honesty the emotional universe of individuals that once were. History is the discipline of approximation, a partial description, a bounded analysis of the past. 2 When individuals build histories, they tell us a lot about themselves, their values, and their aspirations. Creating a specific type of history is a political choice. Historiographies are political vehicles. As David Harlan put it 'a sense of the past is a way of being in the present. At its best it is a way of arguing with ourselves'. 3 If impossible, what is the goal of history? Or to be more precise, what is the role of public historians in creating new histories of Europe? Olivette Otelle told us in her powerful recent book, African Europeans, that learning the history of Afro-descendants in Europe has the transformative capacity of dismantling 'racial oppression in the present'. 4 History then is a transformative tool, a vehicle for thinking about the past to change the present. More recently, the historiography of the Global South has demonstrated a growing concern with the histories of those who have been silenced, ignored, or disregarded in terms of the grand narratives. 5 Creating the histories
