Reviews
“The book’s solid archival work, theoretical sophistication, and clear and nuanced narration of complex historical processes certainly make it valuable reading for anyone interested in nineteenth-century Latin American history.” (Jorge A. Nallim, Hispanic American Historical Review, Vol. 101 (1), 2021)
“This is a magnificent, original book about the centrality of exile to the making of nation-states in South America. It tracks the experiences, networks and agonies of forced displacement and shows how preeminent figures in Argentine and Chilean public life drew upon exile to reimagine home.” (Jeremy Adelman, Henry Charles Lea Professor of History and Director of the Global History Lab, Princeton University, USA)“An original and important study of the founding generations of South American politics and letters. A compelling book that shows how forced territorial displacement played a key role both in the construction of nation-states and the transnational dynamics of South America beyond national borders. Through his analysis of the social history, correspondence networks and intellectual trajectory of early nineteenth-century Argentine and Chilean political exiles, Edward Blumenthal makes a crucial empirical and theoretical contribution to comparative historical and cross-nationalstudies. Highly recommended.” (Luis Roniger, Reynolds Professor of Latin American Studies, Wake Forest University, USA)
“This book narrates a solid and original transnational history of political mobilities in the nineteenth century, based on a connected history of exile experiences in the Southern Cone. Beginning with a rich corpus, Blumenthal analyzes little-studied aspects such as the constitution of a transnational political and professional market. It is indispensable reading for those who wish to better understand transnational dynamics of nation-state building in the nineteenth century.” (Pilar González,Professor of Latin American History, Université Paris 7 Diderot, France)
