Superfoods go mainstream
Since the start of the twenty-first century, superfoods (foods perceived as being exceptionally nutritious and having special health benefits) have gained widespread popularity. Some, like avocados, salmon, and blueberries, are familiar in global markets. But most are previously unknown outside their areas of production. The booming sales in the United States, Europe, and Asia of superfoods like quinoa, açai, and yerba mate are closely tied to th…
The Rural Woman Speaks in 1970s Argentina
Studies of the “people’s spring,” the period of unprecedented social mobilization in Argentina in the early 1970s, frequently omit rural women even though they were among the sectors that rallied for social justice. In most of Latin America at the time, rural women were prevented from equal participation in social movements; in contrast, rural women in northeastern Argentina actively participated in the Movimiento Agrario Misionero (MAM). This ar…
Quinoa
Quinoa consumption is booming in the United States and Europe. Between 2013 and 2019, leading exporter Peru saw its sales jump from less than 20 million to almost 50 million kilograms. Given quinoa's high nutritional value, US and European consumers believe the native Andean seed is a superfood. Its Indigenous origins only add to the appeal. Reporters and scholars dispute whether the quinoa boom has benefited or harmed Andean peasant producers. Q…
From South America to the United States
In the early 2000s, California-based Guayakí popularized the caffeinated drink, yerba mate, among young people and creative types. With revenues of $100 million, Guayakí dominates the U.S. market where it is synonymous with yerba mate. This essay explores how Guayakí transformed a foreign product with deep local meaning, widespread popularity, and a long history in southern South America from a shared beverage and social practice into a healthy e…
Trabajadores de la yerba mate o los esclavos blancos en los bosques del nordeste. Argentina al principio del siglo XX
En 1908, tres periódicos diferentes de Argentina, Brasil y Paraguay publicaron numerosos artículos de Julián Bouvier sobre los abusos laborales en los yerbales. Al emplear una retórica escandalosa y tratar los temas de la esclavitud, la raza, el género y el trabajo infantil, los escritos de Bouvier captaron la atención de una amplia audiencia. Los capitalistas que se beneficiaron de los yerbales negaron las acusaciones, la prensa burguesa publicó…
Big Water
With ten essays that are both scholarly and engaging, Big Water: The Making of the Borderlands between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay achieves its goal of making the Triple Frontier a new area of historical scholarship. The book shows how the confluence of indigenous peoples, three nation-states, and an interdependent river system shaped the region and set it apart from other borderlands. In doing so, Big Water overcomes and transcends national …
Frontiers of Evangelization
Throughout colonial Latin America, Catholic missions set out to convert and integrate indigenous peoples into the Spanish empire. Given the importance of these missions, the lack of transregional scholarship on the subject is keenly felt. Most works focus on a specific region (primarily in New Spain or Paraguay) and a religious order. Robert Jackson's Frontiers of Evangelization: Indians in the Sierra Gorda and Chiquitos Missions seeks to address…
Science in the Vanished Arcadia
The Grandchildren of Solano López
Bridget Chesterton's study of how rural soldier-agriculturalists helped shape twentieth-century Paraguayan nationalism is a welcome addition to the historical literature on this understudied country. Chesterton posits that the desire to defend Paraguayan territory and to honor the nation led rural agriculturalists to fight in the Chaco War (1932–1935) and that, due to this shared experience, the rural classes transformed the memory of Francisco S…
The Guaraní and Their Missions
The Guaraní and Their Missions
Under Jesuit management, the Guaraní missions of the Río de la Plata region of South America were the largest and most prosperous of all the Catholic missions established to convert, acculturate, and incorporate indigenous peoples and their lands into the Spanish and Portuguese empires. The book is a socioeconomic history of the Guaraní and their missions. It makes three central contributions. First, rather than studying cultural change like prev…
Caciques as Placeholders in the Guaraní Missions of Eighteenth Century Paraguay
This essay uses census data from the eighteenth century to examine the leadership role of caciques in the Guaraní missions. Cacique succession between 1735 and 1759 confirms that the position of cacique transitioned from the Guaraníes’ flexible interpretation of hereditary succession to the Jesuits’ rigid idea of primogenitor (father to eldest son) succession. This essay argues that scholars overstate the caciques’ leadership role in the Guaraní …
Revisiting Cultivated Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, and Daily Life in the Guaraní Missions
Both the Crown and Catholic missionaries believed that frontier Indians needed to practice settled agriculture and animal husbandry in order to become civilized. For over a century Jesuit missionaries among the Guaraní Indians of South America tried to Europeanize mission inhabitants. Scholarship about the Guaraní missions portrays the Jesuits as imposing a rigid work schedule based on settled agriculture and instituting reforms so that the missi…
Disorder, Wild Cattle, and a New Role for the Missions
Upon assuming office in 1784, Viceroy Nicolás del Campo, Marqués de Loreto, observed that ruin threatened the Guaraní missions in the viceroyalty of Río de la Plata. Scholars concur that after the Jesuit expulsion in 1768, the missions fell into disrepair and lost their important role in regional affairs. This change marked a significant shift. Until the late eighteenth century, the Guaraní missions attracted the largest indigenous population of …
