Changes in the Landscape is a collection of timely essays that bring the methodologies and commitments of ecocriticism to bear on the study of Latin American literature and cultural production. The book’s eleven chapters, written by some of the leading voices in the field, invite readers to consider how the relationship between humans and nonhuman nature was fundamentally transformed during a period when new modes of capitalist production were emerging in the region and around the world. Jennifer L. French’s introductory essay provides a historical and theoretical framework for the collection.Ranging from the immediate aftermath of the Spanish‑American Wars of Independence (1810–1826) to the early twentieth century (1925), the volume’s essays cover a wide variety of genres and forms of cultural production, from JosÉ HernÁndez’s epic poem MartÍn Fierro to prose fiction, painting and photography, and the personal albums compiled by Spanish-American women. Individually and collectively, the essays engage with scientific writing as both a discourse of power and a source of potentially significant, even revelatory information about human and nonhuman nature. Changes in the Landscape enables readers to more fully understand the transition from colonial regimes to the ecocidal extractivism of the export boom (1870–1930) by drawing out and analyzing some of the cognitive resources and rhetorical strategies that were available to imagine, protest, or enact new norms and expectations regarding the relations between human and nonhuman life, be it the life of wildflowers, waterfalls, or Cuba’s CiÉnaga de Zapata.

Mujeres en transito: viaje, identidad y escritura en Sudamerica (1830-1910) examines in detail the insightful accounts by four prominent female writers who traveled to and from Latin America in the 19th century: the French-Peruvian socialist and activist Flora Tristan (1803-1844), the Argentines Juana Manuela Gorriti (1819-1892) and Eduarda Mansilla (1838-1892), and the Peruvian Clorinda Matto de Turner (1852-1909). Each author traveled and wrote in different and significant moments in the history of the Latin American nations and their texts touch upon the nature of hemispheric and European cross-cultural relations. Mujeres en transito revises the limited consideration that women's travelogues have received within the Latin American literary tradition. It demonstrates how women's commentaries on their own and other nations speak to their own engagement in the project of modern citizenship. More importantly, the act of traveling often helps female authors to challenge the strictly political, legal and geographic conceptions of nationhood and national identity articulated in canonical texts. Their improved yet marginal position in society as women, their particular reasons to travel, and the personal and symbolic connections with more than one nation or culture lead these four women to articulate a ""transnational imaginary"" through which they revise the categories of gender, class, modernity, and cultural homogeneity that shaped 19th-century Latin American societies.

Gender Battles: Latin American Women, War, and Feminism by gender studies and Latin Americanist scholar Vanesa Miseres focuses on the overlooked voices of women who wrote about and participated in Latin American and global wars from the 19th to mid-20th centuries. Moving beyond military narratives centred on men, the book highlights how women – as journalists, memoirists, and activists – shaped the discourse around war and gender.Focusing on conflicts like the War of the Pacific, the World Wars, and the Spanish Civil War, Gender Battles reveals how women of the region navigated nationalistic frameworks to express evolving feminist ideas and challenge social norms. Their writing and organizing captures war not only as a battlefield struggle but as a force that defines gender roles, political structures, national, and transnational identities.More than witnesses, the women of Gender Battles reimagine the meaning of war itself: revealing its intimate connections to everyday life, personal autonomy, and global feminist movements. With an interdisciplinary approach, Miseres reforms our understanding of Latin American history and feminist thought, bringing to light a powerful legacy of Latin American women’s resilience, influence, and political intervention in times of conflict.

Mujeres en tránsito: viaje, identidad y escritura en Sudamérica (1810-1930) parte de la incidencia que los relatos de viaje (extranjeros y locales) tuvieron en la formación discursiva de las sociedades sudamericanas. El texto revisa la limitada consideración que ha recibido la escritura femenina dentro de los estudios sobre literatura de viaje y analiza en detalle los relatos de cuatro mujeres que viajaron hacia y desde Sudamérica en el siglo XIX: la socialista y activista franco-peruana Flora Tristán (1803-1844), las argentinas Juana Manuela Gorriti (1816-1892) y Eduarda Mansilla (1834-1892) y la peruana Clorinda Matto de Turner (1852-1909). Cada una de estas mujeres viajó y escribió en diferentes y significativos momentos de la historia de las naciones sudamericanas y sus textos explicitan las relaciones transculturales existentes entre las regiones del hemisferio y entre Sudamérica y Europa.Su posición privilegiada pero todavía marginal en sociedades que limitan el accionar femenino, los motivos particulares para viajar y las conexiones personales y simbólicas que mantienen con más de una cultura hacen que estas cuatro viajeras articulen un imaginario transnacional a través del cual revisan categorías como las de género, clase, modernidad y homogeneidad cultural que sentaron las bases de la sociedad decimonónica. Cada viajera nos habla de los modos en los que se conecta con su sociedad, con la de otros y cómo se construye a sí misma y a esos territorios en medio de un espacio cultural en tránsito, ofreciendo una forma más compleja / completa de pensar las relaciones culturales e identitarias en el siglo XIX.
