Description:

This symposium will bring together experts from Europe, Latin America and the United States, to discuss Frank Tannenbaum’s legacy as a Latin American historian and as a key actor in the complex academic and political relations between Latin America and the United States during the twentieth century. The symposium will consider Tannenbaum's work as a scholar of Mexico and of slavery, and will discuss his work as a builder of the field of Latin American studies, both within Columbia and beyond.  His intellectual legacy includes books, like Slave and Citizen and Mexico: The Struggle for Peace and Bread, which had a great impact on the development of research and debates about the past and contemporary societies of Latin America. The panels will put Tannenbaum's work in context and reflect on the transformation of the fields they contributed to open. This event is part of a series of meetings during the 2012-2013 academic year intended to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Institute of Latin American Studies at Columbia University.
