El destino manifiesto

Las ideas puede llegar a ser muy poderosas, especialmente cuando se han extendido y las abraza mucha gente. Ese es el caso del destino manifiesto o “manifest destiny”, una frase que resume una doctrina muy arraigada en la sociedad estadounidense del siglo XIX, que afirmaba que los recién fundados Estados Unidos de América tenían el derecho, e incluso la obligación divina, de expandirse por toda Norteamérica. La idea del destino manifiesto surgió en la primera mitad del siglo en un contexto de fervor religioso y optimismo nacionalista. Los primeros colonos europeos, en su mayoría protestantes llegados de Europa, veían en América una tierra prometida donde construir una nueva sociedad basada en sus valores. Esta visión se entrelazó con la creencia de que eran un pueblo elegido por Dios para llevar la civilización y el progreso al resto del continente. A medida que la joven nación se consolidaba y ganaba fuerza, la idea de expansión territorial fue sumando partidarios. El vasto territorio al oeste del río Misisipi, con sus riquezas naturales y oportunidades económicas, se convirtió en un objetivo codiciado. La doctrina del destino manifiesto proporcionó una justificación moral y religiosa para esta ambición, presentándola como una misión divina y civilizadora en lugar de una mera conquista para ganar nuevos territorios y colonizarlos. Estados Unidos había nacido a finales del siglo anterior como una federación formada por trece ex colonias británicas que se independizaron de Gran Bretaña con el apoyo de Francia y España. Unas décadas más tarde comenzaron su expansión. En 1803 compraron Luisiana a Napoleón, en 1819 Florida a Fernando VII de España. En paralelo colonos estadounidenses empezaron a llegar a Texas que se independizó conformando una república que luego se uniría a Estados Unidos. Eso hizo estallar la guerra con México que resultó en la anexión de California y los territorios del suroeste que México había heredado del virreinato de Nueva España. La fiebre del oro de California hizo el resto, atrajo a miles de colonos acelerando la expansión hacia la costa del Pacífico. Esta colonización del oeste no estuvo exenta de conflictos. Los indígenas americanos, que habitaban esas tierras desde tiempos inmemoriales, fueron desplazados, recluidos en reservas o sometidos a políticas de asimilación forzada. Lo mismo sucedió con la población de origen hispano. La expansión también exacerbó las tensiones sobre la esclavitud, ya que los nuevos territorios plantearon la cuestión de si permitirla o no. A finales del siglo XIX la doctrina del destino manifiesto estaba en su apogeo. Estados Unidos era ya un país industrial que crecía con fuerza. Pusieron sus ojos en el Caribe sobre las provincias españolas de Cuba y Puerto Rico de las que se apoderaron tras la guerra con España de 1898. Al comenzar el siglo XX Estados Unidos iba de costa a costa y se había convertido en una potencia mundial. No era lo que habían planeado los padres fundadores, pero si el empeño de sus descendientes que, convencidos de su superioridad, llegaron incluso a plantearse cómo exportar el modelo estadounidense al resto del mundo, algo que tratarían de hacer pero abandonando el programa de expansión territorial. El destino manifiesto sigue siendo objeto de debate en nuestros días. Mientras unos lo ven como una expresión legítima del espíritu pionero que acompañó a la federación desde sus inicios, otros lo consideran una mancha en la historia del país, un recordatorio de la injusticia y la violencia que acompañaron a la expansión americana.

The names of Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse are often readily recognized among many Americans. Yet the longer, dynamic history of the Lakota - a history from which these three famous figures were created - remains largely untold. In Lakota America: A New History of Indigenous Power (Yale, 2019), historian Pekka Hämäläinen, author of The Comanche Empire, aims to provide a comprehensive history of Lakota migration, expansion, resistance, survival, and resilience. In turn, Hämäläinen tells the story of a people who “were - and are - shapeshifters with a palpable capacity to adapt to changing conditions around them and yet remain Lakotas.” With the Lakota as its primary historical agents, Lakota America recontextualizes the history of North America in terms of Lakota actions, interests, and power. Hämäläinen starts with the history of the Oceti Sakowin in the seventeenth-century western Great Lakes. From there, Hämäläinen follows the Lakota's western trajectory, first to the Mnisose (Missouri River), and then to the sacred Paha Sapa (Black Hills). In both instances of relocation, the Lakota reinvent themselves while retaining their distinct identity and place in the world. Thanks to - rather than in spite of - their adaptive capacities, says Hämäläinen, the Lakota repeatedly exercise their control of their own destiny as well as the arc of North American history more broadly. Lakota America places the Lakota at the center of North American history, tracing its course up to the present day, and illuminating how generations of shapeshifting has ensured the endurance and resilience of Lakota peoples, sovereignty, and history today.

The names of Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse are often readily recognized among many Americans. Yet the longer, dynamic history of the Lakota - a history from which these three famous figures were created - remains largely untold. In Lakota America: A New History of Indigenous Power (Yale, 2019), historian Pekka Hämäläinen, author of The Comanche Empire, aims to provide a comprehensive history of Lakota migration, expansion, resistance, survival, and resilience. In turn, Hämäläinen tells the story of a people who “were - and are - shapeshifters with a palpable capacity to adapt to changing conditions around them and yet remain Lakotas.” With the Lakota as its primary historical agents, Lakota America recontextualizes the history of North America in terms of Lakota actions, interests, and power. Hämäläinen starts with the history of the Oceti Sakowin in the seventeenth-century western Great Lakes. From there, Hämäläinen follows the Lakota’s western trajectory, first to the Mnisose (Missouri River), and then to the sacred Paha Sapa (Black Hills). In both instances of relocation, the Lakota reinvent themselves while retaining their distinct identity and place in the world. Thanks to - rather than in spite of - their adaptive capacities, says Hämäläinen, the Lakota repeatedly exercise their control of their own destiny as well as the arc of North American history more broadly. Lakota America places the Lakota at the center of North American history, tracing its course up to the present day, and illuminating how generations of shapeshifting has ensured the endurance and resilience of Lakota peoples, sovereignty, and history today.

In his book, The Comanche Empire (Yale University Press, 2008), Pekka Hämäläinen refutes the traditional story that Indians were bit players or unfortunate victims of the white man's conquest of the American West. Old maps that divided America into Spanish, French, and British territories, Hämäläinen argues, are “fictions” insofar as they entirely miss great indigenous contenders of military, economic, and political power. Such a one were the Comanches who fought, traded, and cooperated—often simultaneously—with European and Native American rivals, and rose to be a dominating power in the Great Plains for almost 200 years. The Comanche Empire brings a riveting narrative in a dialectical spirit to the fields of American, American Indian, Spanish and Mexican Imperial, and Borderlands histories. Professor Hämäläinen is Rhodes Professor at the University of Oxford, specializing in early and nineteenth-century North American history especially in indigenous, colonial, imperial, borderlands, and environmental history—all topics that invite comparative discussion and a global view. His first book was When Disease Makes History: Epidemics and Great Historical Turning Points (2006); The Comanche Empire is his second book; he is currently working on a history of the Lakota-Sioux that will be published next year.
