Author Bio
Jonathan C. Brown's new book, Cuba's Revolutionary World, came out at the Harvard University Press in the spring of 2017. He has written four other single-authored books: A Socioeconomic History of Argentina, 1776-1860 (1979); Oil and Revolution in Mexico (1993), Latin America: A Social History of the Colonial Period (2nd ed., 2005), and A Brief History of Argentina (2nd ed., 2009).
Three of these books have been translated and published in Latin America. His first book on Argentina, published at Cambridge University Press, won the Bolton Prize. Brown also has edited a collection of essays on workers and populism in Latin America and co-edited books on the Mexican oil industry and on Argentine social history.
