Biography

Raymond B. Craib is the Associate Chair and Marie Underhill Noll Professor in the Department of History at Cornell University. His research focuses on modern Latin America, specifically examining the intersections of space, politics, and everyday practices. Craib's seminal work, 'Cartographic Mexico: History, State Fixations, Fugitive Landscapes,' published by Duke University Press in 2004, addresses the complexities of Mexican national sovereignty through various property regimes, highlighting the interplay between politics and societal relations. His subsequent works, such as 'Cry Renegade: Politics and Poetry in Interwar Chile,' published by Oxford University Press in 2016, delve into the anarchist movements and radicalization processes within Chile during the early 20th century. In addition to his published books, Craib is currently engaged in exploring the historical narratives surrounding libertarianism through his latest work, 'Adventure Capitalism: History of Libertarian Exit in an Era of Decolonization.' He has also contributed to numerous essays that reflect on the relationship between anarchism, politics, and historical narratives, thereby enriching the academic discourse around these themes in Latin American studies.
