The colonial heritage and its renewed aftermaths - expressed in the
inter-American experiences of slavery, indigeneity, dependence, and
freedom movements, to mention only a few aspects - form a common
ground of experience in the Western Hemisphere. The flow of
peoples, goods, knowledge and finances have promoted
interdependence and integration that cut across borders and link
the countries of North and South America together. The nature of
this transversally related and multiply interconnected region can
only be captured through a transnational, multidisciplinary, and
comprehensive approach. The Routledge Handbook to the History and
Society of the Americas explores the history and society of the
Americas, placing particular emphasis on collective and intertwined
experiences. Forty-four chapters cover a range of concepts and
dynamics in the Americas from the colonial period until the present
century: The shared histories and dynamics of Inter-American
relationships are considered through pre-Hispanic empires,
colonization, European hegemony, migration, multiculturalism, and
political and economic interdependences. Key concepts are selected
and explored from different geopolitical, disciplinary, and
epistemological perspectives. Highlighting the contested character
of key concepts that are usually defined in strict disciplinary
terms, the Handbook provides the basis for a better and deeper
understanding of inter-American entanglements. This
multidisciplinary approach will be of interest to a broad array of
academic scholars and students in history, sociology, political
science cultural, postcolonial, gender, literary, and globalization
studies.

I don't guess too many people have heard of Clifton, Virginia.
Least ways that's how it was when I lived there. Times do change
though and what was may longer be, and what is might not have been
at all and vice versa or something like that. Our farm was about
three miles out of town and our mailing address was Route 1, Box
214 Clifton so I guess we were residents. Mom used to refer to the
town as "The Village" and I suppose it was, in fact, more of a
village than a town. There were a total of five roads leadin1 to
Clifton and all five were posted with Corporate Limits signs, so I
guess whether anyone had ever heard of it or not, the place did
exist and that made it official. The truth of the matter is -five
roads were leadin1 into town but one of "um just kept on goin' whit
a Corporate Limit sign on both ends - so it all depended on which
was you were headin' as to how you counted the roads.
