What is it about?
This essay introduces three essays in a second special issue of Latin American Research Review. They build from the the articles in the first collection, published a year earlier as “Latin American Studies and the Humanities: Past, Present, Future,” (https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.521). Whereas the first collection featured work from anthropology, history, and literary study, these essays are all written by historians, focusing on questions of object-centered analysis, comparative methods, and archival theories.

Why is it important?
This collection builds from the interdisciplinary range of the first volume and asks how historians of Latin America can engage with diverse scholarly paradigms, frameworks, and methodological approaches, specifically oceanic worlds and science studies, ethnic and area studies, and Latinx studies. The introduction explains the chronological scope of the collection, which includes articles from the colonial Portuguese world (Kongo and Brazil), Asian Latin America, and Latinx Studies.
