Bringing together experts across Latin America, North America, and Spain, The Cambridge Companion to Latin American Independence innovatively revisits Latin American independence within a larger regional, temporal, and thematic framework to highlight its significance for the Age of Atlantic Revolutions. The volume offers a synthetic yet comprehensive tool for understanding and assessing the most current studies in the field and their analytical contributions to the broader historiography. Organized thematically and across different regions of the Iberian Peninsula and Spanish and Luso America, the essays deepen well-known conclusions and reveal new interpretations. They offer analytical interventions that produce new questions on periodization, the meaning of anti-colonialism, liberalism, and republicanism, as well as the militarization of societies, public opinion, the role of sciences, labor regimes, and gender dynamics. A much-needed addition to the existing scholarship, this volume brings a transnational perspective to a critical period of history in Latin America.

'A truly essential companion, this book permeates the mutual isolation between Luso-Brazilian and Spanish-American historiography, reconnects the crisis of 1808 with the processes of the 18th century, and illuminates intellectual, political, military, commercial, and labor relations that intertwined local dynamics with global trends, actors of both genders and varied fields, and narratives of past and future.' Margarita Garrido, author of Reclamos y representaciones: variaciones sobre la poliìtica en el Nuevo Reino de Granada, 1770–1815
