Moving past the nationalist/internationalist dyad, this chapter contributes the book’s forward-looking conclusion, describing how the countries of Latin America and the Global South continue to search for a meaningful prism through which to articulate their essentially anti-imperialist alternative to globalization. Calling for a broad reconsideration of Latin American Third Worldism, the conclusion contextualizes the remarkably short-lived Third World moment, strictly defined, by looking backward to the nineteenth century and forward into the twenty-first. In doing so, the conclusion suggests that the Global South can serve as a promising framework for future research on Latin American history.

AbstractThis article explains why historians of Latin America have been disinclined to engage with global history, and how global history has yet to successfully integrate Latin America into its debates. It analyses research patterns and identifies instances of parallel developments in the two fields, which have operated until recently in relative isolation from one another, shrouded and disconnected. It outlines a framework for engagement between Latin American history and global history, focusing particularly on the significant transformations of the understudied nineteenth century. It suggests that both global history and Latin American history will benefit from recognition of the existing work that has pioneered a path between the two, and from enhanced and sustained dialogue.
