Questions to Hilda Sabato
Abstract
The essay analyzes Hilda Sabato’s last book (Repúblicas del Nuevo Mundo. El experimento político latinoamericano del siglo XIX, Buenos Aires: Taurus/Penguin Random House, 2021) and poses two main questions. The first one points to the reasons why Spanish American independences have not been part of the narratives about the Atlantic democratic revolutions. Is this situation a consequence of the hegemonic trends in international historiographical production? The second refers to Hilda Sabato’s own experience in the formation of networks, circulations, and practices of the discipline leading to the theoretical and methodological renewal of political history, which has recently placed those independences as important topics within the broad history of political modernity.Downloads
