Theorising the Ibero-American Atlantic
A volume of essays edited by Liverpool historian, Dr. Harald E. Braun and Professor Lisa Vollendorf (San José State University) offers new perspectives on the history of the Ibero-American Atlantic.
Theorising the Ibero-American Atlantic (Leiden: Brill, 2013) grew out of the conferences and workshops organised by the Rethinking the Ibero-American Atlantic project at the University of Liverpool (2006-2010) and gathers contributions from leading experts in the field of Iberian and Latin American history, culture, and literature. The authors query and explore the viability of the Ibero-American Atlantic as a framework of research. Their essays take stock of theories, methodologies, debates and trends in recent scholarship, and set down pathways for future research. Overall, their essays confirm both the historical reality of the Ibero-American Atlantic as well as its tremendous value for scholarship.
The contributors are Vanda Anastácio, Francisco Bethencourt, Harald E. Braun, David Brookshaw, Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra, Daniela Flesler, Andrew Ginger, Eliga Gould, David Graizbord, Thomas Harrington, Luis Martín-Cabrera, José C. Moya, Mauricio Nieto Olarte, Joan Ramon Resina, N. Michelle Shepherd, Lisa Vollendorf and Grady C. Wray.
