Centering Animals in Latin American History writes animals back
into the history of colonial and postcolonial Latin America. This
collection reveals how interactions between humans and other
animals have significantly shaped narratives of Latin American
histories and cultures. The contributors work through the
methodological implications of centering animals within historical
narratives, seeking to include nonhuman animals as social actors in
the histories of Mexico, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Puerto
Rico, Cuba, Chile, Brazil, Peru, and Argentina. The essays discuss
topics ranging from canine baptisms, weddings, and funerals in
Bourbon Mexico to imported monkeys used in medical experimentation
in Puerto Rico. Some contributors examine the role of animals in
colonization efforts. Others explore the relationship between
animals, medicine, and health. Finally, essays on the postcolonial
period focus on the politics of hunting, the commodification of
animals and animal parts, the protection of animals and the
environment, and political symbolism.Contributors. Neel Ahuja,
