  abstract = {{U}ntil the 17th century, the area currently occupied by {B}elize appeared in maps as a portion of space in the {A}merican world with no particular attribute other than being at the confines of a territory poorly known to {E}uropeans, some of whom stopped there without making any political or social commitment before the area became coveted, delimited, and negotiated between empires. {I}n the 18th {C}entury it was integrated into a colonial structure as a territory to be controlled and administered by {G}reat {B}ritain in the 19th {C}entury. {T}he purpose of this monograph is not to retrace the genesis of a nation, but more modestly, to recount the invention of a colonial territory. {N}o territory exists on its own; only social, political, symbolic and emotional constructions grant it substance and reality. {T}hrough descriptions, narratives, and maps, this monograph brings the territory into existence and displays the articulation between the imaginary, the subjectivities, and the spatial practices of the social and political actors political authorities, residents, cartographers who interacted in {B}elize s territorial construction.},
