The Oxford Handbook of Revolutionary Elections in the Americas, 1800-1910, presents a unique comparative political history spanning from Jefferson's election to the campaign that led to the Mexican revolution of 1910. By focusing on revolutionary elections-those of a contested, contentious nature that bore highly consequential outcomes-this volume sheds light on how institutions were inaugurated or transformed, how substantial issues were settled, and how political behaviour was changed.

After offering overviews of the electoral history of the United States, Latin America and Canada, the Handbook examines key elections in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, México, Perú, the US and Venezuela. Case studies of individual countries then serve as the basis for wider continental analysis of electoral violence, electoral corruption and electoral administration before concluding with some reflections on the need to approach the political history of the Americas from a comparative perspective. This wide lens makes this volume a novel contribution to the study of elections and an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand electoral politics and democracy in broader context.

Eduardo Posada-Carbó is Professor of the History and Politics of Latin America at Oxford University, and William Golding Senior Research Fellow at Brasenose College. He has been Cogut Visiting Professor at the Watson Institute, Brown University; Tinker Professor at the University of Chicago; and Visiting Fellow at the Kellogg Institute, University of Notre Dame. He has published extensively on Latin American history - much of his research has focused on the history of elections and democracy. His co-edited book (with Joanna Innes and Mark Philp), Re-Imagining Democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean, 1770-1870, was published by OUP in 2023. Andrew W. Robertson teaches at the Graduate Center of Arts and Sciences of the City University of New York and at Lehman College, CUNY. He earned his D.Phil. from Oxford University in 1989. He was recently Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence at the Kinder Institute for Constitutional Democracy and was also the A. Lindsay O'Connor Professor of American Institutions at Colgate University. He has been a founding supporter of the digital election data collection, "A New Nation Votes, 1787-1825" which has assembled all extant voting data for the United States from the Constitutional era until the revolutionary election of 1824.
