This book brings together recent research on the sociopolitical
history of Latin American statistics from the nineteenth to the
first half of the twentieth century. Reflecting the influence of
social constructivism in the social sciences, it sheds new light on
the historical emergence and development of both statistical
reasoning and practices within a region traditionally seen as a
passive consumer of foreign-produced theories and methods. By
analysing the processes of institutionalisation of statistics in
different national spaces, from Mexico to the Southern Cone, these
studies show the unique ways in which Latin America adapted and
used this modern tool of government and social classification to
build political regimes and scientific arenas. The early enthusiasm
for enumerating reality, the regular production of statistics and
censuses, and the role of the region in the global transformation
of this knowledge are some of the aspects reviewed to grasp the
contingent dynamic of these dialogues and appropriations. Thus,
Socio-political Histories of Latin American Statistics seeks to
offer new insights into the divergent regional trajectories of this
discipline, advancing towards an understanding of statistics and
its past from a truly global perspective.
