From Virile to Sterile: Science, Masculinity, and Modernity in Argentina, 1776-1852. By Adriana Novoa
Adriana Novoa’s new book is an intriguing deep dive into an important yet underappreciated dimension of late colonial and early national political culture in Argentina. Author of previous insightful studies of Darwinism and biological thought in nineteenth-century Argentine society, she has now turned to the contested and changing representations, understandings, and tensions around perceptions of gender in general, and masculinity in particular,…
Deep History and the Pitfalls of Periodization
The essay reconceives Deep History as a type of origin myth best understood in the context of its own time, and as an intellectual project with methodological strengths and weaknesses. Drawing on insights from the history of science, Latin American studies, and Indigenous theory, I challenge the Eurocentric periodization of human history (and pre-history). Finally, I conclude with suggestions for collaborative ways that historians in particular c…
Megan Raby. American Tropics: The Caribbean Roots of Biodiversity Science
Since the 1980s, popular discourse about biodiversity, tropical rain forests, and natural resource conservation often evokes the Amazon region. Major international environmental conferences, such as the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (also known as Earth Summit), have been held in Brazil. And yet, as Megan Raby’s thorough and groundbreaking book shows, the Amazon is not the half of it. Twentieth- and twenty-first-ce…

James A. Baer. Anarchist Immigrants in Spain and Argentina
Anarchists in Spain and Argentina were a highly visible part of the political landscape in the decades after 1890, as in other European and American nations. James Baer’s book delineates the rise and fall of anarchist factions in these two countries, interwoven as they were, from their heyday in the years before 1900 until their eclipse around the end of the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s. While historians often recognize the coupling of Atl…
Beyond Prejudice and Pride: The Human Sciences in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Latin America
Grappling with problematics of status and hierarchy, recent literature on the history of the human sciences in Latin America has gone through three overlapping phases. First, the scholarship has reflected a dialogue between Latin American scientists and their European colleagues, characterized by the "center/periphery" model of scientific diffusion. Next, scholars drew on postcolonial theory to undermine the power of the "center" and to recover t…
Enemy in the Blood: Malaria, Environment, and Development in Argentina by Eric D. Carter
Introduction: Science and Medicine in Latin America
Medicine and Politics in Colonial Peru: Population Growth and the Bourbon Reforms
A new generation of scholars is examining the complex outcomes of the Bourbon reforms in the Spanish colonies. Adam Warren’s Medicine and Politics in Colonial Peru: Population Growth and Bourbon Reform is a creative addition to this intriguing literature. Putting doctors and medicine at the center of the story allows Warren to expose the multiple and complicated interactions among numerous social and cultural groups in late Peruvian politics and …
Cold War, deadly fevers: Malaria eradication in Mexico 1955–1975
Science, Culture, and Modern State Formation
This well-written, tightly argued book takes an uncommon setting, Ireland under British colonial occupation in the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, to demonstrate how science, medicine and technology are central and indispensable forces in modern state formation. A heady mix of the theoretical and the particular, Carroll's study uses the Irish case to show how science is a constitutive part of modern states. As a frame, he uses a model o…
Freud in the Pampas: The emergence and development of a psychoanalytic culture in Argentina
Strange Pilgrimages: Exile, Travel, and National Identity in Latin America, 1800-1900s. INGRID E. FEY and Karen Racine (eds.): Wilmington, DE: SR Books, 2000
Those who have spent a substantial amount of time outside of their homelands know that living abroad can give fresh perspective on one's personal and even national identity. Are those insights gleaned abroad of a purely individual nature, or do they in their recorded forms hold promise for the scholarly study of national identity formation? The editors and authors of Strange Pilgrimages: Exile, Travel, and National Identity in Latin America, 1880…
