Summary: Discusses the evolving interpretation of history
Review: Written by Jorge Canizares-Esguerra (Assistant Professor of History , State University of New York, Buffalo, New York), How To Write The History Of The New World: Histories, Epistemologies, and Identities in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World is a scholarly, college-level work discussing the evolving interpretation of history, including the changing European perceptions of the reliability of indigenous sources concerning the history of the New World, 18th century patriotism in Spain and its consequences, and exactly who was it who became Enlightened during the Enlightenment? A profound, thoroughly researched, persuasively argued, seminal text about the nuances of history and its perception over 200 years ago, How To Write The History Of The New World is very highly recommended reading for students of western hemispheric history and a core addition to academic reference collections.
