Description
Big Water explores four centuries of the overlapping histories of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay (the Triple Frontier), and the colonies that preceded them. Examining crucial area that includes one of the most first national parks established in Latin The united states and one of the crucial world’s largest hydroelectric dams, this transnational approach illustrates how these three nation-states have interacted through the years.
From the Jesuit reductions in the seventeenth century to the flows of capital and goods accelerated by contemporary trade agreements, the Triple Frontier region has proven fundamental to the development of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, as well as to the Southern Cone and South The united states itself. Even if historians from each of these three countries have tended to construct narratives that stop at their respective borders, the contributors call for a reinterpretation that goes beyond the material and conceptual boundaries of the Triple Frontier. In offering a transnational approach, Big Water helps transcend nation-centered blind spots and approach new understandings of how space and society have developed all over Latin The united states.
These essays complicate traditional frontier histories and balance the excessive weight prior to now given to empires, nations, and territorial expansion. Overcoming stagnant comparisons between national cases, the research explores regional identity beyond border and geopolitical divides. Thus, Big Water specializes in the uniquely overlapping character of the Triple Frontier and emphasizes a perspective regularly left at the periphery of national histories.
