| Summary: | To begin, all history is cultural, and all culture is hybrid. Whether or not they ostensibly frame their work as ‘cultural’, all historians grapple to contextualize past communication. Whether or not they work across national borders, all historians must examine the distinct fibers that comprise seemingly solid fields of signification. For the historian who does work cross-nationally, it is necessary to relate the distinct international forces operating between nations to the transnational forces produced by the presence of one nation within another. It is at this nexus of the international and transnational - of the territorial and extraterritorial, of political economy and socioculture - that provocative work about U.S.-Latin American cultural relations currently resides. |
