Processes of Spatialization in the Americas

Where do the Americas begin, and where do they end? What is the relationship between the spatial constructions of area and continent? How were the Americas imagined by different actors in different historical periods, and how were these imaginations as continent, nation, region guided by changing agendas and priorities? This interdisciplinary volume addresses competing and conflicting configurations and narratives of spatialization in the context of globalization processes from the 19th century to the present.
