This compilation relocates Latin America in global history. Written in Spanish by scholars of the first Mexican-German College ‘Between spaces – Latin-American history in global contexts’, seven case studies explore Latin-American history beyond imperial, Eurocentric and regional perspectives from Area Studies. Hence, multi-perspective and interdisciplinary focuses strive to reveal the coexistence of features and temporalities in the Latin Americas connected and supplied by a multitude of past and present networks around the globe. Through seven different essays focusing on the local agency of writing systems and historiography, circulating goods and nationally restricted consumption patterns in global contexts, Latin-American perceptions of Europe during the First World War and institutional changes in the global context of transition this compilation magnificently exemplifies epistemological tensions between imperial, national, and global perspectives
