More-Than-Human Histories of Latin America and the Caribbean: Decentring the Human in Environmental History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781915249517)

The Latin American and Caribbean regions' historical trajectories have been shaped by complex human-nonhuman interactions. In these histories people are important, even crucial, actors, but not the only ones. Offering a novel approach to the writing of Latin American history, this book responds to environmental history's call to write biophysical environments into the human past - a reconsideration of historical agency that, in this era of climate change, is needed now more than ever.
