Centering Animals in Latin American History writes animals back into the history of colonial and postcolonial Latin America. This collection reveals how interactions between humans and other animals have significantly shaped narratives of Latin American histories and cultures. The contributors work through the methodological implications of centering animals within historical narratives, seeking to include nonhuman animals as social actors in the histories of Mexico, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Chile, Brazil, Peru, and Argentina. The essays discuss topics ranging from canine baptisms, weddings, and funerals in Bourbon Mexico to imported monkeys used in medical experimentation in Puerto Rico. Some contributors examine the role of animals in colonization efforts. Others explore the relationship between animals, medicine, and health. Finally, essays on the postcolonial period focus on the politics of hunting, the commodification of animals and animal parts, the protection of animals and the environment, and political symbolism. Contributors. Neel Ahuja, Lauren Derby, Regina Horta Duarte, Martha Few, Erica Fudge, León García Garagarza, Reinaldo Funes Monzote, Heather L. McCrea, John Soluri, Zeb Tortorici, Adam Warren, Neil L. Whitehead

Nos dias em que Colombo navegava os oceanos e Da Vinci pintava a Mona Lisa, o banqueiro alemão Jacob Fugger se tornava o homem mais rico da história. Fugger viveu na Alemanha na virada do século XVI, neto de um camponês. Quando de sua morte, sua fortuna chegava perto de 2% do PIB Europeu. Em uma era onde reis tinham poder ilimitado, Fugger ousou encarar os chefes de Estado e cobrar-lhes suas dívidas—com juros. Foi com essa frieza, autoconfiança e ambição sem limites que se tornou não apenas o homem mais rico até então, mas também um marco na história. Antes da aparição de Fugger era ilegal, segundo as leis da igreja, a cobrança de juros sobre empréstimos, mas ele conseguiu que o Papa alterasse isso. Fugger também ajudou a desencadear a Reforma Protestante e, provavelmente, financiou a circunavegação do globo de Fernão de Magalhães. Sua criação de um serviço de notícias proporcionou-lhe uma vantagem em informações sobre seus rivais e clientes e deu a Fugger um verbete na história do jornalismo. Ele fez com que a família Habsburgo, da Áustria, passasse de soberanos de segunda linha a governantes do primeiro império onde o sol nunca se punha. "Seu epitáfio (...) declara imodestamente que ele era o maior em vida e, portanto, após sua morte, não deveria ser listado entre os mortais. Como Fugger atingiu esta estatura especial é o tema da agradável e ambiciosa biografia de Greg Steinmetz." The Wall Street Journal "Fugger lutou contra intelectuais e revoltas armadas com suborno, mercenários e – outra inovação – advogados versados no direito canônico. O nome Fugger (...), fora da Alemanha, permanece relativamente desconhecido. Greg Steinmetz busca corrigir isso." The Washington Post "Se estivesse vivo hoje, ele teria impressionado o mundo da Wall Street e da City, e no entanto sua notável história ainda é pouco conhecida. A descrição das aspirações, frieza e ganância de Fugger é emocionante." The Economist "Uma divertida introdução a um dos empresários mais influentes da história " The New York Times Book Review
