Founded in the first half of 2019, Peabiru aims to research the history of constitutionalism in Latin America, from a critical and transdisciplinary perspective, emphasizing the intertwining between history and law from a renewed perspective on modern law.
The history of Latin America is a decisive element in the formation of the modern world, being directly linked to the development of key institutions and concepts of modernity, such as slavery, colonialism, imperialism and republicanism. From new historiographical perspectives, such as Atlantic history and subaltern, post-colonial and decolonial studies, Latin America was elevated to the center of the historical stage. With this, the old attribution of “periphery of the world”, a mere reproducer of alien ideas, was placed under criticism, denoting the inventive and creative role of the Latin American experience.
