The researcher (a post-doctoral research fellow in India) writes: 
 
I am planning a study on colonialism and  the translation of the discourse 
of political economy as a way to think about the vernacularization of the 
liberal imagination in non-western contexts.  My main focus  will be on  
South Asia, which is the  region on which my work has been.  But I also 
hope to develop a comparative perspective with respect to the early 
translations and circulation of the modern economic ideas and  texts in 
the Latin American context. I will be grateful for some  basic information 
about approximately where, when and  under what conditions political 
economy texts  began circulating in parts of  Latin America, and  when the 
first 'native' translations  were produced.
