Beyond imagined communities
How did the nationalisms of Latin America's many countries-elaborated in everything from history and fiction to cookery-arise from their common backgrounds in the Spanish and Portuguese empires and their similar populations of mixed European, native, and African origins? Beyond Imagined Communities: Reading and Writing the Nation in Nineteenth-Century Latin America, discards one answer and provides a rich collection of others. These essays began …
Americana
Americas of the 1850s provides James Dunkerley with compelling material for this majestic and unorthodox book. Drawing on a range of contemporary sources from Walt Whitman to Darwin,Trollope, Marx and Sarmiento, Dunkerley adopts a fully Atlanticist perspective to reappraise the first steps in American modernity. Americana is arranged around major themes of time and space, culture, political economy, and international relations. Between these more…

The Mystery of Samba
The Places of History
Doris Sommer, who gave new vitality to the study of nineteenth-century Latin American novels, has here collected 20 short essays exemplifying both a broad range of contemporary criticism and a refreshing emphasis on the particulars of time and place. Sommer's introduction even proposes that this emphasis might be termed a "new costumbrismo" on the part of literary critics. Hence the title of the volume, which may otherwise be misleading, because …
The Social History of the Brazilian Samba

is Brazil's rhythm, symbol of its culture and nationhood. It symbolizes racial and cultural mixture that, since 1930s, most Brazilians have come to believe defines their unique national identity. But how did Brazil become the Kingdom of Samba only a few decades after abolishing slavery in 1888? The author of this book shows that nationalization of samba actually rested on a long history of relations between different social groups, often working …

The Prehistory of Samba
Rio's pre-Lenten carnival and its Afro-Brazilian dance, samba, have been symbols of Brazilian identity since the 1930s. This article explores the choreographical antecedents of samba, before the crystallisation of the modern dance genre with that name, highlighting the importance of earlier social dances in the evolution of the twentieth-century symbol. It traces the development of carnival dancing in Rio de Janeiro from the time when few danced,…

Foundational Fictions
National consolidation and romantic novels go hand in hand in Latin America. Foundational Fictions shows how 19th century patriotism and heterosexual passion historically depend on one another to engender productive citizens
Background to Civil War
A N equal distribution of property among daughters and sons is the overriding pattern of inheritance in Latin America. The practice of entailment did exist during the colonial period, but it never represented the general practice and disappeared after independence. Though families used various strategies to avoid the fragmentation of property, the law of partible inheritance exerted a steady gravitational pull. As a result, great estates arose an…
