“…Spanish scholars, for their part, continue to focus their research into the history of science in Latin America, such as it is, upon the expeditions of the eighteenth century ( Díez Torres, Mallo and Pacheco Fernández, 1995 ). French scholars have been more prolifi c in their general approach towards the general history of science in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but they have tended, perhaps understandably, to concentrate upon the achievements of the overseas Pasteur Institutes (Moulin, 1992;Lambrichis, 1996 ). The work of Ilana Lowy is of some relevance in this context, although her recent study of the socio-political context of attempts to eradicate yellow fever in Brazil ( Lowy, 2001 ) borrows heavily from the earlier work of Benchimol (1999) .…”

In broad terms, European students of the history of Latin America have concentrated their researches upon colonial policies, interactions between Europeans (and their American‐born descendants) and indigenous peoples, economic and commercial structures, and political life (whether of elites or, more recently, of subaltern groups). The last two decades have witnessed a significant expansion in Britain and elsewhere of research into gender studies and cultural studies. Although the latter discipline embraces an awareness of the importance of the history of science, this has tended to be rather narrowly focussed upon travel writing, and the extent to which there were links between the promotion of scientific travel and both imperial and national projects, particularly in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. However, like the great British scientific travellers of the nineteenth century in Latin America, the works of cultural studies specialists tend to reveal more about European attitudes and misconceptions than Latin American reality.
