More than other Atlantic societies, Latin America is shackled to
its past. This collection is an exploration of the binding
historical legacies--the making of slavery, patrimonial absolutist
states, backward agriculture and the imprint of the
Enlightenment--with which Latin America continues to grapple.
Leading writers and scholars reflect on how this heritage emerged
from colonial institutions and how historians have tackled these
legacies over the years, suggesting that these deep encumbrances
are why the region has failed to live up to liberal-capitalist
expectations. They also invite discussion about the political,
economic and cultural heritages of Atlantic colonialism through the
idea that persistence is a powerful organizing framework for
understanding particular kinds of historical processes.
