Although historians usually trace its origins to the Haitian
Revolution of the late 18th Century, Latin American political,
economic and cultural emancipation is still very much a work in
progress. As new national identities were developed, fresh
reflection and theorising was needed in order to understand how
Latin America related to the wider world. Through a series of case
studies on different topics and national experiences, this volume
shows how political economy has occupied an important place in
discussions about emancipation and independence that occurred in
the region. The production of political economic knowledge in the
periphery of capitalism can take on many forms: importing ideas
from abroad; translating and adapting them to local realities; or
else producing concepts and theories specifically designed to make
sense of the uniqueness of particular historical experiences. The
Political Economy of Latin American Independence illustrates each
of these strategies, exploring issues such as trade policy, money
and banking, socio-economic philosophy, nationalism, and economic
development. The expert authors stress how the originality of Latin
American economic thought often resides in the creative
appropriation of ideas originally devised in different contexts and
thus usually ill-suited to local realities. Taken together, the
chapters illustrate a fertile methodological approach for studying
the history of political economy in Latin America. This book is of
great interest to economic historians specialising in Latin
America, as well as those who study history of economic thought,
political economy and Latin American history.
