In Disciplinary Conquest Ricardo D. Salvatore rewrites the origin
story of Latin American studies by tracing the discipline's roots
back to the first half of the twentieth century. Salvatore focuses
on the work of five representative U.S. scholars of South
America-historian Clarence Haring, geographer Isaiah Bowman,
political scientist Leo Rowe, sociologist Edward Ross, and
archaeologist Hiram Bingham-to show how Latin American studies was
allied with U.S. business and foreign policy interests. Diplomats,
policy makers, business investors, and the American public used the
knowledge these and other scholars gathered to build an informal
empire that fostered the growth of U.S. economic, technological,
and cultural hegemony throughout the hemisphere. Tying the drive to
know South America to the specialization and rise of Latin American
studies, Salvatore shows how the disciplinary conquest of South
America affirmed a new mode of American imperial engagement.
