Qu’est-ce qu’un héros ? Comment un personnage historique peut-il incarner des espoirs au présent longtemps après sa mort ? Quels sont les liens entre les modèles héroïques et l’invention des nations ? En quoi la fabrique de héros soutient-elle la légitimité au pouvoir de différents gouvernements ? Autant de questions traversant cet ouvrage qui retrace le processus d’héroïsation et les usages politiques du caudillo libéral hondurien Francisco Morazán. De 1830 à 1839, Morazán dirige la République fédérale d’Amérique centrale qui réunit le Guatemala, le Salvador, le Honduras, le Nicaragua et le Costa Rica. La particularité du processus indépendantiste de la région (absence de lutte armée face à la couronne espagnole et annexion au Mexique), a fait de l’époque fédérale un mythe d’origine associé à son président. Comme Bolívar, Morazán représente de surcroît un idéal unioniste. Pourtant, les conflits politiques et militaires entre élites locales ont empêché la Fédération centraméricaine de se consolider et Morazán est fusillé en 1842. Plutôt que de redonner une dimension « objective » au personnage, cet ouvrage met en relief les aspects symboliques qui ont reconstruit son image, depuis son exécution jusqu’au centenaire de sa mort en 1942. La perspective comparative entre les cinq États centraméricains permet de dégager différentes mémoires et de présenter les multiples facettes d’une figure kaléidoscopique. Étudier le héros en dit finalement beaucoup sur les acteurs du culte.

"Raiders and Natives illuminates the relationships among-and conflicts between-European buccaneers and various Indigenous peoples in Central America during the seventeenth century. Like many of the Natives they encountered on their frequent inland excursions, most of these buccaneers-chiefly those flying under English, French, and Dutch flags-also viewed the Spanish and their colonial regime as an enemy. While this sort of geopolitical situation led to martial alliances, it also resulted in a variety of cross-cultural exchange that altered sociopolitical organization, material culture, subsistence economies, and military strategies for all involved. Building on what one reviewer has called "immense archival research," Bialuschewski's study untangles the wide variety of forms this cross-cultural exchange took. Although a "mutually beneficial long-term alliance" emerged between buccaneers and Natives on the Miskito Coast in Nicaragua-and succeeded in holding off Spanish colonization until the nineteenth-century-elsewhere cultural exchange took the form of abduction, enslavement, and sexual assault. By placing these encounters at the center of Raiders and Natives, Bialuschewski changes our understanding of the early modern Atlantic World and the cross-cultural relations that shaped it"--
