This vigorous,politically engaged essay reveals the‘colonial matrix of power’ behind theinvention of the term Latin America. Atimely and significant contribution tode-colonial theory and to debates aboutnew social movements in the Americas.”JOHN KING, WARWICK UNIVERSITYThe term ‘Latin’ America supposes that thereis an America that is Latin, which can bedefined in opposition to one that is not. Thisgeo-political manifesto revisits the idea ofLatinity, charting the history of theconcept from its emergence in Europe underFrance's leadership, through its appropriationby the Creole élite of South America and theSpanish Caribbean in the second half of thenineteenth century, up to the present day.SERIES: BLACKWELL MANIFESTOS176 PAGES1-4051-0085-0 HB / 1-4051-0086-9 PB / OCTOBER 2005A History of LatinAmericac.1450 to the PresentSecond EditionPETER,PETERBAKEWELBAKEWELLSouthern Methodist UniversityThis complete history of South and MiddleAmerica has been updated to provide fullercoverage of twentieth-century developmentsin politics and economics, as well as socialand cultural life.SERIES: BLACKWELL HISTORY OF THE WORLDSERIES EDITOR: R.I.
