Se publica el libro "Colonial and Imperial Banking History" editado por Hubert BoninNuno Valério, en el que ha contribuido Inés Roldán (IH, CCHS-CSIC) junto con Pablo Martín-Aceña, como autores del capítulo titulado "Colonial banking: one model, two histories: Cuba and Puerto Rico before independence".

This book sheds new light on the role played by European banks in the economic colonization of much of the globe. Based on previously unused archival material, it examines the origins and development of imperial banking systems. Contributors utilize new developments and methodology in business history to explore a broad range of countries including Cuba, Brazil, Portugal, South Africa and Algeria.

The central topic of interest in this book is the institutional history of central, issuing and rediscounting banks. While much attention has been paid to the British, Dutch and French banks and financial instituions, this book is unique in its focus on colonial and overseas banking. Using a range of case studies, this book highlights both the immense variety and cohesion that defined colonial banking practices.

This book will be of interest to researchers concerned with international finance and banking and economic history.
