The Oxford Handbook of Latin American History
This Oxford Handbook comprehensively examines the field of Latin American history.
Histories of Solitude
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the last two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...

"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field.

Transatlantic Battles
How did overseas Europeans participate in the two world wars’ effort? Which were the tensions around mobilization? How did the war affect their identity and their descendants? What were their mobilization’s effects on the relationship with the adopted homelands? These closely intertwined issues connect to the central argument of the book: war exerted a crucial influence on the configuration – and reconfiguration – of those European communities’ national or ethnic identities and made evident their transnational nature. Through different case studies, this volume approached the multi-faceted, complex, and fluid nature of immigrant collective identities under the pressures and challenges of total wars. Contributors are: Juan Pablo Artinian, Juan Luis Carrellán Ruiz, Hernán M. Díaz, Norman Fraser Brown, Marcelo Huernos, Milagros Martínez-Flener, Norman Fraser Brown, Germán C. Friedmann, María Inés Tato, and Stefan Rinke. Transatlantic Battles: European Immigrant Communities in South America and the World Wars is now available in paperback for individual customers.
Writing Mexican History
Essential essays from “one of the most prolific, provocative, and pre-eminent historians working in the field of Mexican and Latin-American history today” (Susan Deans-Smith, author of Bureaucrats, Planters, and Workers). This collection brings together a group of important and influential essays on Mexican history and historiography by Eric Van Young, a leading scholar in the field. The essays, several of which appear here in English for the first time, are primarily historiographical; that is, they address the ways in which separate historical literatures have developed over time. They cover a wide range of topics: the historiography of the colonial and nineteenth-century Mexican and L...

El oficio del historiador: Reflexiones metodológicas en torno a las fuentes
En esta compilación se reflexiona sobre una variedad de fuentes documentales y visuales que los historiadores tienen a su alcance. Los textos compilados no solo muestran los caminos que se abren a partir de expedientes, manuscritos, periódicos, películas, juguetes, mapas, fotografías, comics o pinturas, sino también los desafíos, las dificultades, los cuidados y las diversas maneras en que estas fuentes pueden ser estudiadas por medio de complejos procesos de búsqueda y la correspondiente formulación de preguntas y problemas que le conciernen al historiador en su investigación. Por esto, en vez de mostrar grandes postulados eruditos del estudio de las llamadas fuentes primarias, aqu...
