Spring 1988 History 730 Florencia E. Mallon

Transition to Capitalism and Nation-State Formation in Ninetee."1.th-GenttL.""'Y Latin Arnerica

Desc:ription:

Considered before to be one of the "backwaters'' of historical research, wb.ere traditional political and military history reigned supreme, t."le nineteenth century is now emerging as one of the periods in Latin American history with the greatest potential for theoretical and methodological innovation. For roughly the last decade, an unusually large and creative amount of work has appeared. Inspired in the debates around world systems and dependen~f t."leory, articulation of modes of production and the transition to capitalism, much of this litera~~e is also informed by the desire to illuminate the faces of the common folk, reclaiming their e~riences as they confronted the integration of their societies and economies into the modern world capitalist system.

Yet as the contributions of this new literature have taken shape, so have its weaknesses. As authors attempted to apply fraiTeworks broadly informed by Marxist class analysis, their inabili~J fully to explain gender, ethnic and political/ ideological dimensions became more apparent. With these problems has also come a crisis in theory; some historians now hesitate to reach broader conclusions.

Where is the field going? Through discussion of common and supplementary readings and written critical reviews, we will attempt to delineate some initial answers.

1) Active participation in class. The seminar's success depends on it!

Then each week, the students responsible for reviews will also elaborate a study guide of discussion questiors in consultation with the professor. This study guide will be typed and copied and available to the other students by the Monday of the semhiar week.

Sunolementarv: As a general resource, the Cambridge Histo~f of Latin America, eel. Leslie Be~~ell, Vols. I:I-V, covers different aspects of t~e nineteenth cenbxrt and provides some additional bibliography. If used advisedly (some authors wrote new, stnthetic essays while others serJed up "rewarmed" old materials), it can be quite useful.

ALSO: 1) In the Hisoanic American Historical Review, 65:4 (.November 1985 ) , historiographical essays by E::-ic Van Your.g, Job.n J. Jchr.scn, and David Bushnell Lst and variously analyze the e..xisting historical literature for Me..xico/ Cer.t:::-al America, Latin Arr.erica, and South America (respective 1 y) . 2 ) William Taylor, "Between Global Process and Loca2. Knowledge: An Inqui:;:-y into E3rly Latin American Socia2. History, 1500-1900," in ~eliving the Past: 'TI;.e Worlds of Social History, ed. Olivier Zunz (Chapel Hill: Univer­sity of North Caroli~B Press), pp. 115-90, gives a good overJiew of the nineteenth century. 3) David Bushnell and Neill Macaulay, The Emergence of Latin Arrerica in the Nineteenth Centu_ry, NeN York: Oxford University Press, 1987, is a new te..xt that claims to incorporate the new research. Worth a look, I suspect, though I haven't given one yet ...
