Date
We will discuss selections from two related and recently published books on the history of science, technology, and the environment in Latin America:
Buckley, Eve E. Technocrats and the Politics of Drought and Development in Twentieth-Century Brazil. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2017. (Intro and ch. 5)
Wolfe, Mikael D. Watering the Revolution: An Environmental and Technological History of Agrarian Reform in Mexico. Durham: Duke University Press, 2017. (Intro and ch. 4)
The two authors will open the discussion with comments on each other's books.
Note: This is the discussion that was postponed from last December due to technical difficulties.
