This collaborative multi-authored volume integrates
interdisciplinary approaches to ethnic, imperial, and national
borderlands in the Iberian World (16th to early 19th centuries). It
illustrates the historical processes that produced borderlands in
the Americas and connected them to global circuits of exchange and
migration in the early modern world. The book offers a balanced
state-of-the-art educational tool representing innovative research
for teaching and scholarship. Its geographical scope encompasses
imperial borderlands in what today is northern Mexico and southern
United States; the greater Caribbean basin, including
cross-imperial borderlands among the island archipelagos and
Central America; the greater Paraguayan river basin, including the
Gran Chaco, lowland Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia; the Amazonian
borderlands; the grasslands and steppes of southern Argentina and
Chile; and Iberian trade and religious networks connecting the
Americas to Africa and Asia. The volume is structured around the
following broad themes: environmental change and humanly crafted
landscapes; the role of indigenous allies in the Spanish and
Portuguese military expeditions; negotiations of power across
imperial lines and indigenous chiefdoms; the parallel development
of subsistence and commercial economies across terrestrial and
maritime trade routes; labor and the corridors of forced and free
migration that led to changing social and ethnic identities;
histories of science and cartography; Christian missions, music,
and visual arts; gender and sexuality, emphasizing distinct roles
and experiences documented for men and women in the borderlands.
While centered in the colonial era, it is framed by pre-contact
Mesoamerican borderlands and nineteenth-century national
developments for those regions where the continuity of inter-ethnic
relations and economic networks between the colonial and national
periods is particularly salient, like the central Andes, lowland
Bolivia, central Brazil, and the Mapuche/Pehuenche captaincies in
South America. All the contributors are highly recognized scholars,
representing different disciplines and academic traditions in North
America, Latin America and Europe.
