Foote/Horst, Books, History, Military Struggle and Identity Formation in Latin America, Significantly advances the discussion about the connections among race, identity, military service, and armed struggle in Latin America during a crucial period of nation-building.--Hendrik Kraay, University of CalgarySure to become a standard part of the historical literature on the 'national' period in Latin America, these essays give an excellent ground-level view of the process of state formation through war.--Miguel Angel Centeno, author of Blood and DebtMilitary engagements in Latin America between 1850 and 1950 helped shape emerging nation states and collective consciousness in profound and formative ways. This century, known as the liberal period, was an important time for state formation in the region, as well as for the development of current national borders.This collection of essays aims to assess the role black and indigenous Latin Americans played in the military struggles of this period, and how these efforts contributed to the formation of ideas about race and national identity. While some indigenous people and Afro-Latin Americans came into closer contact with the descendents of colonizers as a result of military service, others turned inward with strengthened ties to their local communities. Many were at times victims of violent conflicts in Latin America, but they surprisingly also shaped the outcome of these wars and employed the wars to advance their own political agendas. The book offers exciting new interpretations and explanations of this key period in Latin American history.Nicola Foote is assistant professor of history at Florida Gulf Coast University. Rene D. Harder Horst is associate professor of history at Appalachian State University.

This interdisciplinary book aims to address the historical questions of what roles have civilians played in warfare and how has civilian participation changed over time? Scholars of warfare have been increasingly more mindful of the importance of studying civilians. Yet, while there has been a great deal of research into the impact of wars on civilians, the way in which civilians impact warfare itself has been less systematically examined. Notably, there has been little historical attention to the role of civilians in combat and the way in which civilian action shapes military outcomes. This edited volume seeks to fill that gap and brings together leading historians, classicists and political scientists to explore the contributions civilians have made to warfare in case studies that range from ancient Europe to contemporary Africa and Latin America. The book builds on philosophical and legal scholarship that has underlined the slippery and contingent nature of the combatant/non-combatant division to explore the blurred boundary between combatant and civilian in different historical contexts and to examine how the absence of clear demarcations shapes civilian strategic positioning and impacts civilian vulnerability to military targeting and massacre. It argues that engagement with the blurred boundaries between combatant and non-combatant both advance the key analytical questions that underpin the historical literature on civilians and underline the centrality of civilians to a full understanding of warfare. Ultimately, the case studies show that civilians, while always victims of war, were nevertheless often able to become empowered agents in defending their own lives, and impacting the outcomes of wars. No other book on the market engages precisely these questions nor deals with such an expansive chronological and geographic framework. By fully historicizing the challenge of distinguishing civilian from combatant and drawing attenti.
