New Oxford Handbook of Revolutionary Elections in the Americas, co-edited by Professor Eduardo Posada-Carbó

Oxford University Press has just published The Oxford Handbook of Revolutionary Elections in the Americas, 1800-1910, coedited by Eduardo Posada-Carbó (LAC, History Faculty, Oxford) and Andrew Robertson (the City University of New York and at Lehman College, CUNY).  After general overviews of the electoral histories of the United States, Canada and Latin America, the book examines twenty cases of revolutionary elections covering a wide range of countries in the Americas during the long nineteenth century, then provides some comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives on key aspects of revolutionary elections in the Americas.  “Revolutionary elections” are pivotal electoral episodes whose contested and contentious nature led to outcomes that were highly consequential for the politics and societies in the countries in which they took place, as they helped to inaugurate or transform institutions, to settle substantial issues at stake, or to change political behavior.
