"Turning Land into Capital" aims to understand the role of land as a means of (re)producing wealth in Latin America and the Caribbean. Historically oriented around the period beginning in the 1860s to the Great Depression of 1929 and another from the 1980s to the 2020s, the project is aligned along three thematic lines of research: 1) Political Constellations, 2) Cultures of Wealth, and 3) Ecological Transformations of Landscapes.
