More than other Atlantic societies, Latin America is shackled to its past. This collection is an exploration of the binding historical legacies—the making of slavery, patrimonial absolutist states, backward agriculture and the imprint of the Enlightenment—with which Latin America continues to grapple. Leading writers and scholars reflect on how this heritage emerged from colonial institutions and how historians have tackled these legacies over the years, suggesting that these deep encumbrances are why the region has failed to live up to liberal-capitalist expectations. They also invite discussion about the political, economic and cultural heritages of Atlantic colonialism through the idea that persistence is a powerful organizing framework for understanding particular kinds of historical processes.
