History 3225 - Environmental History of Latin America

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

Environmental history is a relatively new approach to Latin-American history that focuses on the relationship between nature and society. Taking nature seriously forces us historians to revise our understanding of social change, the rise and fall of civilizations, and contemporary problems of political instability. And by putting current environmental debates into historical context, we can contribute to a fuller understanding of the complexity of environmental problems.
