Abstract
The Anthropocene as Multiple Crisis: Perspectives from Latin America EditorialThe aim of the six-volume Handbook The Anthropocene as Multiple Crisis: Perspectives from Latin America is, first, to think about the Anthropocene from a particular region of the Global South.Thus, this Handbook offers a platform to discuss the multiple "anthropocenic" socio-environmental crises from a specifically Latin American point of view, without losing sight of their global and planetary dimensions.The second objective is to systematize, from the perspective of Latin American social sciences and humanities, the multifaceted environmental crises that reached and crossed the planetary boundaries of the earth-systems and led to the new geological time of the Anthropocene.In doing so, we generate an empirical basis for the genealogy of the Anthropocene in an unprecedented global region with key regional and historical differentiations.
