Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explains how 18th century Irish exiles in the Spanish Empire utilised a skill at imperial translation to promote the emulation of capitalistic British imperial policies. Focusing on the proyectista Bernardo Ward, the First Ministry of Ricardo Wall, and the slaving practices of Hiberno-Spaniards in Cuba, it argues that diasporic Irish played a key role in the Spanish Empire’s embrace of capitalism during the Bourbon Reforms.
