After briefly sketching the growth of the topic up to the 1960s, Marshall Eakin focuses on the past half-century, from the dominance of social history to the cultural turn. He surveys innovative work on topics including slavery, indigenous peoples, race, the environment, science, medicine, and gender, and ends with a discussion of the emergence of the concepts of borderlands, the Atlantic world, and transnational history – that both enrich and challenge the very idea of Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis concise volume offers the first broad overview of Latin American history and historiography for students, scholars, and the general reader, outlining the key social, cultural, and political forces that have shaped both Latin America and its study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1:  What Is Latin America?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2:  The Pioneering Generations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3:  The Economic and Quantitative Turns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4:  The Social Turn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 5:  Cultural and Other Turns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 6:  Beyond Latin American History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue:  The Future of Latin American History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Further Reading\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20%5BHB%5D%22\"\u003eHB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441801687320,"sku":"9781509538515","price":42.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509538515.jpg?v=1785026111","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/what-is-latin-american-history-hardback-9781509538515","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
