Download or read book Mapping Latin America written by Jordana Dym and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many, a map is nothing more than a tool used to determine the location or distribution of something—a country, a city, or a natural resource. But maps reveal much more: to really read a map means to examine what it shows and what it doesn’t, and to ask who made it, why, and for whom. The contributors to this new volume ask these sorts of questions about maps of Latin America, and in doing so illuminate the ways cartography has helped to shape this region from the Rio Grande to Patagonia. In Mapping Latin America,Jordana Dym and Karl Offen bring together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine and interpret more than five centuries of Latin American maps.Individual chapters take on maps of every size and scale and from a wide variety of mapmakers—from the hand-drawn maps of Native Americans, to those by famed explorers such as Alexander von Humboldt, to those produced in today’s newspapers and magazines for the general public. The maps collected here, and the interpretations that accompany them, provide an excellent source to help readers better understand how Latin American countries, regions, provinces, and municipalities came to be defined, measured, organized, occupied, settled, disputed, and understood—that is, how they came to have specific meanings to specific people at specific moments in time. The first book to deal with the broad sweep of mapping activities across Latin America, this lavishly illustrated volume will be required reading for students and scholars of geography and Latin American history, and anyone interested in understanding the significance of maps in human cultures and societies.
Download or read book Time and Space written by Daniel A. Tirado-Fabregat and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-07 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection examines the evolution of regional inequality in Latin America in the long run. The authors support the hypothesis that the current regional disparities are principally the result of a long and complex process in which historical, geographical, economic, institutional, and political factors have all worked together. Lessons from the past can aid current debates on regional inequalities, territorial cohesion, and public policies in developing and also developed countries. In contrast with European countries, Latin American economies largely specialized in commodity exports, showed high levels of urbanization and high transports costs (both domestic and international). This new research provides a new perspective on the economic history of Latin American regions and offers new insights on how such forces interact in peripheral countries. In that sense, natural resources, differences in climatic conditions, industrial backwardness and low population density areas leads us to a new set of questions and tentative answers. This book brings together a group of leading American and European economic historians in order to build a new set of data on historical regional GDPs for nine Latin American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. This transnational perspective on Latin American economic development process is of interest to researchers, students and policy makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The States of South America, 1920: Land of Opportunity, a Complete Geographical, Descriptive, Economic and Commercial Survey The reception given to the first edition of this book by the Press and the Public of Great Britain and the United States, combined with the thought that some such compendium of information on so important a financial and commercial field as South America in the present state of the economic world might prove of use, is entirely responsible for this revised edition, to which so much new material has been added that it now bears little resemblance, except in name, to its old original self. It will now be found to cover, not just a few of the more important Latin-American States as before, but every nation of the Sub-Continent, together with some general chapters on commercial and economic factors of importance, up-to-date statistics, concession laws, and new illustrations and maps, in addition to complete general surveys of these rapidly rising nations, their recent development, and the openings they afford for foreign capital and commerce.
