Recenzje

At a time when Latin American studies (like other academic fields) is becoming ever more atomised between competing disciplines each with their own technical apparatus, Luis Roniger's new book provides a bold counter-blast. His professional mastery of the tools and concepts of comparative historical sociology provide a firm basis for an integrative project, highlighting the transnational and multiple modernity features of Latin American reality. Healso deploys his expertise in diaspora studies, state formation, multiple modernities, and local history and culture to enrich his analysis with close focus on well-chosen and revealing specific examples—all woven together into an engaging tapestry that will provoke and inspire across the whole field of study.
