By doing so he provides a reevaluation of a field whose epistemological and political status has obsessed its participants up until the present. The book focuses on the emergence of Latin Americanism as a field of critical debate and scholarly inquiry between the 1890s and the 1960s. Drawing on contemporary theory, intellectual history, and extensive archival research, Degiovanni explores in particular how the discourse and realities of war and capitalism have left an indelible mark on the formation of disciplinary perspectives on Latin American cultures in both the United States and Latin America. Questioning the premise that Latin Americanism as a discipline comes out of the tradition of continental identity developed by prominent intellectuals such as JoseÌ MartiÌ, JoseÌ E. RodoÌ or JoseÌ Vasconcelos, Degiovanni proposes that the scholars who established the discipline did not set out to defend Latin America as a place of uncontaminated spiritual values opposed to a utilitarian and materialist United States. Their mission was entirely different, even the opposite: giving a place to culture in the consolidation of alternative models of regional economic cooperation at moments of international armed conflict. For scholars theorizing Latin Americanism in market terms, this meant questioning nativist and cosmopolitan narratives about identity; it also meant abandoning any Bolivarian project of continental unity or of socialist internationalism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Knavish Latin Americans -- A teacher-spy from Brooklyn -- Colonizing an empire -- Policing the field -- University rebels -- A discipline of war -- The history of a best seller. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Study and teaching (Higher) 650 0 $a Latin American literature $x Study and teaching (Higher) 651 0 $a Latin America $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Latin American literature $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993043 650 7 $a Study skills. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01136216 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Illuminations (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031918.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202012945.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61DBA9E026B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
