This book intends to broaden up the scope of Ethnohistory, bringing forward the contributions of other European and Latin American scholars to the field. Although strongly influenced at first by the foundational work of the North American school, these studies have enriched the field in a multifaceted way. Not only they present and discuss new theoretical frameworks, providing new insights and topics under focus, but, in doing so, they introduce the variegated socio-political and geographical contexts within which their scientific inputs are shaped.
