Abstract
After a bibliometric update of the number of articles published on Latin America as the main topic of study in the Journal of World History and Journal of Global History, it was ratified that there is a peripheralization of the continent. The objective of this article is to question whether this is a quantitative phenomenon or if there are exceptions in this regard; that is, what are the institutional factors that underlie this phenomenon? The exposition is divided in three parts. First, the findings related to the bibliometric update are detailed; then, four examples in which the role of Latin America is relevant in influential narratives that connect with global history are presented; finally, some factors that try to explain the nature of these manifestations are shown, displaying a panorama of lights and shadows on Latin America in the interpretations of global history.

Independientemente de este panorama que se bosqueja, aún con los matices que deseamos poner en relieve aquí, la periferización de América Latina es una constante
Creemos que existe un amplio abanico de oportunidades de investigación para los historiadores interesados en América Latina desde una óptica de historia global
Summary
Tras haberse realizado una actualización bibliométrica del número de artículos publicados sobre América Latina como tema principal de estudio en las revistas Journal of World History y Journal of Global History, se ratifica que existe una periferización del continente. El objetivo del presente artículo es cuestionar si lo anterior es un fenómeno cuantitativo o si existen algunas excepciones al respecto; es decir, ¿cuáles son los factores institucionales que subyacen a ese fenómeno? Se detallan los hallazgos relacionados con la actualización bibliométrica; luego, se exponen cuatro ejemplos donde el papel de América Latina es relevante en narraciones influyentes que se conectan con la historia global; por último, se exponen algunos factores con los que se intenta explicar la naturaleza de esas manifestaciones, lo que arroja un panorama de luces y sombras sobre América Latina en las interpretaciones de historia global.
