And yet, Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo argues in this landmark book, it is an obsolescent racial-cultural idea that ought to have vanished long ago with the banishment of racial theory. \u003ci\u003eLatin America: The Allure and Power of an Idea \u003c\/i\u003emakes this case persuasively. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tenorio-Trillo builds the book on three interlocking steps: first, an intellectual history of the concept of Latin America in its natural historical habitat--mid-nineteenth-century redefinitions of empire and the cultural, political, and economic intellectualism; second, a serious and uncompromising critique of the current \"Latin Americanism\"--which circulates in United States-based humanities and social sciences; and, third, accepting that we might actually be stuck with \"Latin America,\" Tenorio-Trillo charts a path forward for the writing and teaching of Latin American history. Accessible and forceful, rich in historical research and specificity, the book offers a distinctive, conceptual history of Latin America and its many connections and intersections of political and intellectual significance. Tenorio-Trillo's book is a masterpiece of interdisciplinary scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022644306X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226443065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2017","brand":"Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086411182335,"sku":"9780226443065","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4beb7bf2-1568-49a9-892d-b952b3e3f9d1.jpg?v=1769094517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/latin-america-mauricio-tenorio-trillo-9780226443065","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
