Building Nineteenth-Century Latin America

"Taken as a whole, this anthology presents a nuanced examination of the complex process of nation building."
--The Americas

"Nineteenth Century Studies have taught us to reject an idea of nation-formation as a single, organic, and continuous process. The great achievement of this volume is to have reassembled the diversity of approaches and themes that make up the field today. This is the nineteenth century as panorama: a vast tableau with multiple clusters of action, rather than focused on a single center capturing our gaze."
--Jens Andermann, Birkbeck College, London, author of The Optic of the State: Visuality and Power in Argentina and Brazil

"Nicely researched and written; eloquent narrative, informative notes, and illustrations...Highly recommended."
