CFP: “Labor, State, Capital: Historical Materialism, Metanarratives, and the Revival of Explanatory Frameworks” Latin American History Workshop (Cornell University, 2-5 May 2019)
For a generation now, the historiography of Latin America in the North American academy has been defined by the decline of synthetic metanarratives. So, what unites Latin America in a historical explanatory sense? In order to address this problem with a broad historical frame of reference, we structure this workshop around two basic and persistent problems: capitalist development and state formation.
