This English translation of De Quilmes a Hyde Park: Las fronteras
culturales en la vida y la obra de W. H. Hudson, which won the 2001
Annual Prize in Literature of Uruguay, analyzes how the richness of
Hudson's work is linked to the overlapping of several cultures in
his life. His work and life developed in the opposition of
Romanticism to Enlightenment, wavering between literature and
science. Combining biographical details with analysis of his
philosophy and works, the study follows Hudson's life from his
childhood on a cattle farm in Argentina to his emigration to
England in 1870, including the years he fought on the frontier
between whites and indigenous populations and the years he spent
traveling abroad. The study concludes with a bibliography of
Hudson's books, poems, posthumously published works, and
translations into Spanish, as well as critical studies of Hudson.
Since the early 1980s, Latin American countries have been
innovative in a range of policy and cultural experiences, including
health care, voting, pensions, and multiculturalism. And yet, their
policy innovations are rarely found in textbooks. This book
addresses that gap, providing a fascinating and wide-ranging
exploration of both the history of "looking down" at Latin America
and the political, economic, and cultural "lessons" (including
successes, failures, and unintended consequences) that should
inform important policy discussions around the world.
