We learned of a call for papers for
a symposium on 200 years of Peruvian, Mexican, Central American and Brazilian independence
at SOAS London. Here the call:
In 2021-22 Peru, Mexico, Central
America and Brazil will celebrate 200 years of independence. The Independence
of Peru in particular and of the Americas as a whole was a global event. A key
battleground of the Age of Revolutions and the birthplace of the First Wave of
Decolonization, Latin American independence produced a new world order.
In this hybrid symposium, leading
historians from around the world will present and debate new research on the global
significance and legacy of these events.
Participants may join us in
London or via Zoom. All paper proposals and perspectives will be considered. We
particularly seek papers that engage the following approaches:
• Connected histories of
independence
• Conceptual and intellectual
histories of independence
• Economic histories of
independence
• New political histories of
independence
• Atlantic and global histories
of independence and decolonisation
• Historical anthropologies of
independence
• Cultural histories of the
symbols and materiality of independence
• Histories of the historiography
of independence
• Histories of knowledge and
independence
• Histories of centennial and
bicentennial commemorations
Please send your paper abstract
and 2-page cv to Professor Mark Thurner, mark.thurner@sas.ac.uk by November 1,
2020. Please note that we intend to publish an edited volume of original work
based on the conference proceedings.
