With the present study, the author aimed to identify and analyze the basic traits of Americanist content present in the work of one of the most eminent Hispanic American intellectuals of the 19th century, the Cuban writer and political leader José Julián Martí y Pérez (1853-1895). One of the basic purposes is to demonstrate how the Martían discourse for the transformation of the American Society of his time incorporated an eminently utopian essence, a privileged form by which he expressed his general vision of America. It is a perspective that, far from being inserted into the realm of the fantastic, of the impossible dream, of the unworkable, is, quite the contrary, seated in rather real bases and endowed with a high sense of criticism, which transforms the study of his extensive work into a fertile and rich debate of ideas that characterized the American intellectual atmosphere of the late 19th century. Such utopian essence ended up being constituted in the singular form of expression of his continental identity project, embodied in his idea of Our America.

In December 1788, in the northern Peruvian city of Trujillo, fifty-one-year-old Spanish Bishop Baltasar Jaime Martínez Compañón stood surrounded by twenty-four large wooden crates, each numbered and marked with its final destination of Madrid. The crates contained carefully preserved zoological, botanical, and mineral specimens collected from Trujillo's steamy rainforests, agricultural valleys, rocky sierra, and coastal desert. To accompany this collection, the Bishop had also commissioned from Indian artisans nine volumes of hand-painted images portraying the people, plants, and animals of Trujillo. He imagined that the collection and the watercolors not only would contribute to his quest to study the native cultures of Northern Peru but also would supply valuable information for his plans to transform Trujillo into an orderly, profitable slice of the Spanish Empire. Based on intensive archival research in Peru, Spain, and Colombia and the unique visual data of more than a thousand extraordinary watercolors, The Bishop's Utopia recreates the intellectual, cultural, and political universe of the Spanish Atlantic world in the late eighteenth century. Emily Berquist Soule recounts the reform agenda of Martínez Compañón—including the construction of new towns, improvement of the mining industry, and promotion of indigenous education—and positions it within broader imperial debates; unlike many of his Enlightenment contemporaries, who elevated fellow Europeans above native peoples, Martínez Compañón saw Peruvian Indians as intelligent, productive subjects of the Spanish Crown. The Bishop's Utopia seamlessly weaves cultural history, natural history, colonial politics, and art into a cinematic retelling of the Bishop's life and work.
