Hess’s focus on Latin America’s reception of Copland provides a variety of outside perspectives on the composer and his mission. She also teases out the broader meanings behind reviews of Copland and examines his critics in the context of their backgrounds, training, aesthetics, and politics.
This book measures Portugal's transatlantic projection of power against a particular obstacle: imperial information-gathering, which produced a confusion of rumors, distortions, claims, conflicting reports, and disputed facts.

The history of how six Latin American countries acknowledge—or deny—their African past. 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World during the Middle Passage. These millions of Africans created new and vibrant cultures, magnificently compelling syntheses of various African, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish influences.
Christina Fernandez’s art is shaped by the concerns that powered the Chicano movement and the aesthetics and discourses of postmodernism. The volume’s six essays are supplemented with excerpts from three interviews with the artist. Together, they offer critical perspectives on Fernandez’s radical intellectual and formal agenda and reveal the multiple senses of “exposure” that are at play in her art.

Crossing the Current explores aftermaths of internal war through the ethnographic scrutiny of rural transit and territorial transformations in Peru's Upper Huallaga Valley. This book asks what happens to such a place once prolonged conflict has ostensibly passed. How have ordinary experiences of land, territory, and law, and of the river that runs through them all, been altered in the aftermaths of war?
A contemplative exploration of cultural representations of Mexican American fathers in contemporary media. Part cultural history, part literary criticism, part memoir, Fatherhood in the Borderlands takes an incisive look at the value of creative inquiry while it examines the nuanced portrayal of Mexican American fathers in literature and film. 1

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
Colón-Emeric explores the life and theological vision of Archbishop and Saint Óscar Romero, one of the founders of liberation theology, which interprets Scripture through the plight of the poor.
Oaxaca in Motion documents a revealing irony in the latter sort: internal migration often is global in character, motivated by foreign affairs and international economic integration, and it is no less transformative than its cross-border analogue. This book is an expansive survey of the cultural fluctuations experienced by Oaxacan migrants both inside and outside of Mexico.

Violence, Labor, and Rights in Peru Mikaela Luttrell-Rowland
Traces the multigenerational activism of Afro-Caribbean Panamanians as they forged diasporic communities in Panama and the United States throughout the twentieth century. Offers a new mode of understanding activism, community, and diaspora formation.
Political Children argues for new methods of listening to marginalized young people so as to better understand everyday practices of state power and violence. Grounded in extensive interviews, longitudinal ethnography, historical analysis, and archival work, Mikaela Luttrell-Rowland shows how two separate groups of working young people in Lima, Peru, have become political protagonists, resisting and critiquing inequality and injustice.

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
The first book on the history of escuelitas examines the integral role these grassroots community schools played in shaping Mexican American identity. Barragán Goetz argues that the history of escuelitas is not only a story of resistance in the face of Anglo hegemony but also a complex and nuanced chronicle of ethnic Mexican cultural negotiation.
Unpacks dozens of ethnographic interviews he conducted with Latin America's urban-based, Arabdescendant elite class, some of whom also occupy positions of political power in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. With the term "rooted globalism," Funk captures the emergence of classed intersectional identities that are simultaneously local, national, transnational, and global.

After revolutionary cooperation between Dominican and Haitian majorities produced independence across Hispaniola, Dominican elites crafted negative myths about this era that contributed to anti-Haitianism.

Considers Black Latinidad in a global perspective in order to chart colonialism as an ongoing sociopolitical force. Drawing from archives and cultural productions from the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe, García Peña argues that Black Latinidad is a social, cultural, and political formation through which we can understand both oppression and resistance.
Russo demonstrates how the constant effort to understand, translate, adapt, decode, transform, actualize, and condense Mesoamerican and European aesthetics, traditions, knowledge, techniques, and concepts constituted an engine of unprecedented visual and verbal creativity in the early modern transatlantic world. 5

Unraveling Time traces the enduring consequences of political and social movements, transnational migration, and economic development in Cuenca. The author’s approach not only reveals what change has meant in a major Latin American city but also serves as a reflection on ethnography itself. A compelling chronicle of economic, political, and social development in Cuenca.
Claudia Garcia crossed the border because her toddler, Natalia, could not hear. With a braided narrative that speaks to the power of stories for creating connection, this book reveals what remains undocumented in the motherhood of Mexican women who find themselves making impossible decisions and multiple sacrifices as they build a future for their families.

Examines the political and economic exploitation of Latinx subjects through the lens of Latinx art forms. In this book, art clarifies what power obscures: the national-security state performs anti-immigrant and xenophobic politics that substitute nationalism for protections from the free market while ensuring maximal corporate profits through the manufacture of disposable migrant labor.
