Rooted in Place

Botany, Indigeneity, and Art in the Construction of Mexican Nature, 1570-1914

Beschreibung

Rooted in Place traces historical transformations in the relationship between nature and imagined communities across three interlinked moments in the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the late nineteenth century in Mexico. It is the first major study of the relationship between understandings of nature and the creation of structures of rule within Mexico. The book intentionally weaves between environmental history, history of science, visual culture, and political history.
