Looking South: The Evolution of Latin Americanist Scholarship in the United States, 1850-1975

Looking South: The Evolution of Latin Americanist Scholarship in the United States, 1850-1975

Helen Delpar
3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
A comprehensive, ambitious, and valuable work on an increasingly important subject


In the Preface to her new study, Latin Americanist Helen Delpar writes, "Since the seventeenth century, Americans have turned their gaze toward the lands to the south, seeing in them fields for religious proselytization, economic enterprise, and military conquest." Delpar, consequently, aims her considerable gaze back at those Americans and the story behind their longtime fascination with Latin American culture. By visiting seminal works and the cultures from which they emerged, following the effects of changes in scholarly norms and political developments on the training of students, and evaluating generations of scholarship in texts, monographs, and journal articles, Delpar illuminates the growth of scholarly inquiry into Latin American history, anthropology, geography, political science, economics, sociology, and other social science disciplines.
