He has published in European Journal of Social Theory, Current Sociology, Critical Horizons, Thesis Eleven, Journal of Intercultural Studies, Atlantic Studies and Political Power and Social Theory. He is the author of Europe and the Americas: State Formation, Capitalism and Civilizations in Atlantic Modernity (2006) and Debating Civilizations: Interrogating Civilizational Analysis in a Global Age (2017). He is also a Managing Editor of the International Journal ofSocial Imaginaries and Rowman & Littlefield’s Social Imaginaries series. His current work revolves around the multidisciplinary fields of civilizational analysis and social imaginaries.

Review :
This is an unusual book for our days. With a theoretically ambitious agenda and a breathtaking space-time scope, Jeremy Smith takes us through the imaginary and institutional trajectories of the modern New World. A big adventure. There is no doubt that Jeremy Smith is currently the most important and creative scholar in theorizing the Americas from a macro-sociological perspective. With great cultural sensitivity his new book analyses the role of imaginaries in the making of the most important regions and national societies of this continent so that an immensely rich picture of big cities, social movements, and capitalist structures is presented to the reader who cannot do anything else but admire Smith’s theoretical and empirical expertise.
