This book looks to the writings of prolific statesmen like D.F. Sarmiento, Estanislao Zeballos, and Euclides da Cunha to unearth the literary and political roots of the discipline of geography in nineteenth-century Latin America. Tracing the simultaneous rise of text-writing, map-making, and institution-building, it offers new insight into how nations consolidated their territories. Beginning with the titanic figures of Strabo and Humboldt, it rereads foundational works like Facundo and Os sertões as examples of a recognizably geographical discourse. The book digs into lesser-studied bulletins, correspondence, and essays to tell the story of how three statesmen became literary stars while spearheading Latin America’s first geographic institutes, which sought to delineate the newly independent states. Through a fresh pairing of literary analysis and institutional history, it reveals that words and maps—literature and geography—marched in lockstep to shape national territories, identities, and narratives.

The Evolving Geography of Productivity and Employment: Ideas for Inclusive Growth through a Territorial Lens in Latin America and the Caribbean employs a territorial lens to understand the persistently low economic growth rates in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Using new data and methods, it shows that deindustrialization, distance, and divisions offer intertwined explanations for an urban productivity paradox in the LAC region: its highly dense cities should be among the world’s most productive, yet they are not. LAC cities have been held back by lack of dynamism, poor connectivity, and divisions into disconnected poor and affluent neighborhoods. Deindustrialization has shifted urban employment, especially in the largest LAC cities, away from manufacturing and toward less dynamic, low-productivity nontradable activities, such as retail trade and personal and other services, that profit less from agglomeration, especially in highly congested cities. Although employment in urban tradable services has risen, the increase has not been strong enough to offset the decline in manufacturing employment. Meanwhile, intercity connectivity issues have undermined the performance of the region’s network of cities by restricting market access and firms’ ability to benefit from specialization in smaller cities. Within cities, poor connectivity and residential labor market segregation have limited the gains from agglomeration to neighborhoods in central business districts where formal firms operate. Informality has persisted in low-income neighborhoods, where residents face multiple deprivations. By contrast, many agricultural and mining areas have benefited from the strong demand for commodities by China and other fast-growing economies, particularly during the Golden Decade (2003†“13), leading to a decline in territorial inequality in most countries in the region. The report concludes that to encourage inclusive growth, countries must more efficiently transform natural wealth into human capital, infrastructure, and institutions and improve the competitiveness of the urban economy. It then sketches out the contours of such a development strategy, identifying policy priorities at the national, regional, and local levels.

Excerpt from South America: A Geography Reader South America, even more than Africa, has for years been the Dark Continent to the average teacher. Its geographic literature is meager, and much of it is in Spanish, Portuguese, and German. Where can the teacher go for a lively description of the long desert of Atacama? Until the English edition of Brazil by Pierre Denis was. published (1911), where could be found a real explanation of the geographic provinces of that country? To-day the best work on the Argentine is in French; and the best brief description of the high plateaus of Bolivia and Peru is in German. It is impossible for the busy teacher in the public schools to gather from the best books, even if lists of them were available, the material for good work on the geography of South America. The aim of this little book is to put into convenient form for elementary students some of the material I have gathered during the past ten years of study and travel. It is not a handbook. It does not pretend to cover all parts of the continent in the same detail. I have chosen those subjects that appear to me to be most interesting or most important in the present state of knowledge of South America. No one who writes a book worth reading applies a foot rule to his subject. I conceive that an excellent geography of any continent might be written for children which dealt only with houses or dress or villages or roads. No one carries, or indeed could carry, into his maturer years a well-proportioned knowledge of grammar-school subjects. That some knowledge should stick and that it should be sound and important - these are the chief considerations.
