Sarmiento, Estanislao Zeballos, and Euclides da Cunha to unearth the literary and political roots of the discipline of geography in nineteenth-century Latin America. Tracing the simultaneous rise of text-writing, map-making, and institution-building, it offers new insight into how nations consolidated their territories. Beginning with the titanic figures of Strabo and Humboldt, it rereads foundational works like \u003ci\u003eFacundo\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOs sertões\u003c\/i\u003e as examples of a recognizably geographical discourse. The book digs into lesser-studied bulletins, correspondence, and essays to tell the story of how three statesmen became literary stars while spearheading Latin America's first geographic institutes, which sought to delineate the newly independent states. Through a fresh pairing of literary analysis and institutional history, it reveals that words and maps--literature and geography--marched in lockstep to shape nationalterritories, identities, and narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aarti Smith Madan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319551396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319551395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.69d","brand":"Aarti Smith Madan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089093308671,"sku":"9783319551395","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ace4d87-468d-44c2-9c1e-951cc4099422.jpg?v=1769108152","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lines-of-geography-in-latin-aarti-smith-madan-9783319551395","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
