Professor Fernando Lara Delivers Keynote Speech at "La Ciudad Latinoamericana, de la dependência a la fragmentation" Conference in Quito, Ecuador

Professor Fernando Lara gave the opening keynote speech at a conference organized by Stanford University and FLACSO (Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciências Sociales), in Quito Ecuador. 

Titled "La Ciudad Latinoamericana, de la dependência a la fragmentation", this 3-day conference was based on a recent publication: The Routledge Handbook of Urban History in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Professor Lara's keynote was a long term historical analysis of sites in Latin America, from 1500 BCE to the present, in search of concepts that define those territories in opposition to our canonical Eurocentric theories.
