Opis

Frontier history remains staunchly traditional, still sheltered under the powerful wings of 19th century historian and founder of the discipline, Frederick Jackson Turner. But things are changing, partly thanks to the rise of transnational history and interdisciplinary research. This book shows the emergence of pathways for investigation in various academic fields which are both innovative and faithful to the well-established framework of frontier studies. There is a long tradition of borderlands research in both Asia and Latin America, but thus far there has been very little contact between these two strains of scholarly literature. The volume builds a bridge between Asia and Latin America, and opens up the field for conversation and collaboration.
