This book explores contemporary cultural, historical and
geopolitical connections between Latin America and Australia from
an interdisciplinary perspective. It seeks to capitalise on
scholarly developments and further unsettle the multiple divides
created by the North-South axis by focusing on processes of
translocal connectivities that link Australia with Latin America.
The authors conceptualise the South-South not as a defined
geographic space with clear boundaries, but rather as a mobile
terrain with multiple, evolving and overlapping translocal
processes.

The Religion of Life examines the interconnections and relationship
between Catholicism and eugenics in early-twentieth-century Chile.
Specifically, it demonstrates that the popularity of eugenic
science was not diminished by the influence of Catholicism there.
In fact, both eugenics and Catholicism worked together to construct
the concept of a unique Chilean race, la raza chilena. A major
factor that facilitated this conceptual overlap was a generalized
belief among historical actors that male and female gender roles
were biologically determined and therefore essential to a
functioning society. As the first English-language study of
eugenics in Chile, The Religion of Life surveys a wide variety of
different materials (periodicals, newspapers, medical theses, and
monographs) produced by Catholic and secular intellectuals from the
first half of the twentieth century. What emerges from this
examination is not only a more complex rendering of the
relationship between religion and science, but also the development
of White supremacist logics in a Latin American context.
