The updated and enhanced third edition of A History of Latin America to 1825 presents a comprehensive narrative survey of Latin American history from the region’s first human presence until the majority of Iberian colonies in America emerged as sovereign states c. 1825.
* This edition features new content on the history of women, gender, Africans in the Iberian colonies, and pre-Columbian peoples
* Includes more illustrations to aid learning: over 50 figures and photographs, several accompanied by short essays
* Concentrates on the colonial period and earlier, expanding coverage of the period and incorporating more social and cultural history with the political narrative
Part of The Blackwell History of the World Series
The goal of this ambitious series is to provide an accessible source of knowledge about the entire human past, for every curious person in every part of the world. It will comprise some two dozen volumes, of which some provide synoptic views of the history of particular regions while others consider the world as a whole during a particular period of time. The volumes are narrative in form, giving balanced attention to social and cultural history (in the broadest sense) as well as to institutional development and political change. Each provides a systematic account of a very large subject, but they are also both imaginative and interpretative. The Series is intended to be accessible to the widest possible readership, and the accessibility of its volumes is matched by the style of presentation and production.
