Abstract

[The present study aims at critically examining the transnational representations of the filibuster expedition to Nicaragua in the years 1855–1857 as well as this incident’s historical context and the repercussions these representations have enjoyed. Putting the filibuster publication El Nicaraguense into the spotlight also provided a possibility to transcend national paradigms in the analysis of this unique episode. But what has this analysis yielded? How did a transnational approach to this historical event change, amplify or contest our knowledge on antebellum America, transnational newspaper publications, hemispheric exchange processes in the Americas or the historical impact of nineteenth-century sources on contemporary historiography? As the title of this section already indicates, final answers are hard to nail down, but the study can hopefully present important advancements by researching the questions mentioned above.]
