Independence and Nation-Building in Latin America: Race and Identity in the Crucible of War by Scott Eastman and Natalia Sobrevilla Perea (Routledge, 2022).
Independence and Nation-Building in Latin America: Race and Identity in the Crucible of War reconceptualizes the history of the break-up of colonial empires in Spanish and Portuguese America. In doing so, the authors critically examine competing interpretations and bring to light the most recent scholarship on social, cultural, and political aspects of the period.
