Offering a fresh perspective on the Latin American climate crisis through the lens of natural history and its institutions, this volume shows how writers, artists, and curators are rethinking approaches to the discipline that cast humans and nature as separate entities.

This volume explores works from Latin American literary and visual culture that question what it means to be human and how the nonhuman world helps define personhood. In doing so, it provides new perspectives on how the region challenges and adds to global conversations about humanism and the posthuman.

Challenging the common view that Latin America has lagged behind Europe and North America in the global history of science, this volume reveals that the region has long been a center for scientific innovation and imagination. It highlights the important relationship between science, politics, and culture in Latin American history.
