New RCC Perspectives Volume Available Online in English and Spanish

"New Environmental Histories of Latin America and the Caribbean"

23.01.2014

This collection of RCC Perspectives brings together leading scholars on the environments of Latin America and the Carribean to give us new and alternative narratives of the postcolonial history of the continent. The landscapes of Latin America are among the most diverse in the world and have been seen as a cornucopia when they were first plundered by colonial adventurers—these essays look at the manifold legacies of abundance and extraction, telling stories of complex interactions between people, governments, and their environments, and providing new angles from which to view established narratives.

The complete volume is available in English and Spanish. Please visit the RCC Perspectives website to download a PDF or .mobi version in English or Spanish.
