Earlier books include comparative studies of images of the United States in nineteenth-century Latin America (America Imagined, with Axel Korner and Adam Smith, Palgrave, 2012) and on intellectuals and politics in the region.

 

Ivan Jaksić is Director of the Stanford University Program in Chile, and the author or editor of several books on Andrés Bello, as well as the intellectual and political history of Latin America and the United States. His previous academic appointments include posts at the University of California, the University of Wisconsin, and Notre Dame. He is currently a member of the Chilean Academy of Language. A recipient of the Guggenheim fellowship, his most recent award is the Chilean National Prize in History (2020).
