This book presents a cultural history of Latin America as seen
through a symbolic good and a practice - the book, and the act of
publication - two elements that have had an irrefutable power in
shaping the modern world. The volume combines multiple theoretical
approaches and empirical landscapes with the aim to comprehend how
Latin American publishers became the protagonists of a symbolic
unification of their continent from the 1930s through the 1970s.
The Latin American focus responds to a central point in its
history: the effective interdependence of the national cultures of
the continent. Americanism, until the 1950s, or Latin Americanism,
from the onset of the Cold War, were moral frameworks that guided
publishers' thinking and actions and had concrete effects on the
process of regional integration. The illustration of how Latin
American publishing markets were articulated opens up broader and
comparative questions regarding the ways in which the ideas
embodied in books also sought to unify other cultural areas. The
intersection of cultural, political and economic themes, as well as
the style of writing, makes this book an interest to a wide reading
public with historical and sociological sensitivity and global
cultural curiosity.
