The Myth of Indigenous Caribbean Extinction
Now available in paperback
Continuity and Reclamation in Borikén (Puerto Rico) Tony Castanha, University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, USA "Castanha provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing arguments over the long-assumed extinction of the indigenous populations in Puerto Rico and elsewhere in the Caribbean... Original accounts from island jibaros and the historical accounts together support the position for indigenous survivals, and the work is an important counter-narrative to the dominant arguments. Recommended." — Choice
Rethinking Productive Development Sound Policies and Institutions for Economic Transformation Inter-American Development Bank, The InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB) is an international institution created in 1959 to foster economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean. Gustavo Crespi, Eduardo Fernández-Arias, Ernesto Stein, all at Inter-American Development Bank "The authors do a masterful job of not only surveying what is known about ‘productive development policies,’ but also laying out a policy agenda. Admirable in its analytical exposition, empirical detail, and policy discussion, this is a mustread for development economists and practitioners alike." —Dani Rodrik, Albert O. Hirschman Professor of Economics, Institute for Advanced Study, USA
This book debunks one of the greatest myths ever told in Caribbean history: that the indigenous peoples who encountered a very lost Christopher Columbus are effectively extinct. Through the uncovering of recent ethnographical data, the author reveals extensive narratives of Jíbaro Indian resistance and cultural continuity on the island of Borikén.
Rethinking Productive Development systematically analyzes policies in key areas such as innovation, new firms, firm networks, financing, human capital, and internationalization.

BUSINESS, FINANCE AND ECONOMICS Development Macroeconomics in Latin America and Mexico Essays on Monetary, Exchange Rate, and Fiscal Policies Jaime Ros, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México "[This] book is an attractive combination of theoretical and applied economics. It gives answers to two main questions: What explains the poor growth of the Latin American region over the past thirty years? What explains the diversity in the growth performances of individual Latin American countries in the same period? The legacy of the shocks of the 1980s interacting with the variety of macroeconomic policies (fiscal, monetary, and exchange) can provide satisfactory answers to both questions." — Roberto Frenkel, Principal Research Associate at Centro de Estudios de Estado y Sociedad (CEDES); Honorary Professor, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina Development Macroeconomics in Latin America and Mexico brings the attention of academics, practitioners, and policy makers to the neglected macroeconomic factors that can account for both the unsatisfactory average growth performance of Latin American and the diversity around this average.

Highly recommended." — Choice "An excellent and up-to-date overview of black social movements in Latin America. The chapters give detailed insight into the complex and contradictory relationships of these movements with diverse levels of the state, illustrating some of the gains made since the 1990s and highlighting how much further there is still to go in the face of powerful forces of cooptation, continued marginalization and, in some cases, outright violence." —Peter Wade, University of Manchester, UK Drawing from a wide spectrum of disciplines, the essays in this collection examine in different national contexts the consequences of the "Latin American multicultural turn" in Afro Latino social movements of the past two decades.

Contemporary Transpacific Connections from the South Irene Strodthoff, University of Sydney, Australia "This is highly innovative and original crossdisciplinary work. It is thorough and insightful, weaving the complex issues involved in transnational connections and discourses of nationalism between two countries in the 'colonized' South.

It is engaging in its development of new understandings of how countries imagine and construct themselves and others discursively." — Alana Mann, Senior Lecturer, Department of Media and Communications, The University of Sydney, Australia Exploring bilateral narratives of identity at a socio-discursive level from 1990 onwards, this book provides a new approach to understanding how Chile and Australia imagine and discursively construct each other in light of the bilateral Free Trade Agreement signed in 2008.

The Political Empowerment of the Cocaleros of Bolivia and Peru Ursula Durand Ochoa, London School of Economics, UK
A Move to the Left Juan Pablo Ferrero, University of Bath, UK "This is an important book for our era of disillusionment with representational democracy. Latin Americanists interested in democracy beyond the state and political leaders will find a wealth of empirical and theoretical insights into how ordinary people come to mobilize and challenge a global paradigm. But it is also a book for all those interested in democracy as a process, not a 'thing.''' —Jenny Pearce, University of Bradford, UK This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the emergence of left-wing politics in two of the largest South American nations: Argentina and Brazil. It looks in particular at the transformation of democracy seen as ‘point of arrival’ into democracy seen as an unending struggle for greater equality. Contents: Introduction * 1.

Susan E. Babbitt, Queen’s University, Canada "Babbitt presents the richness of philosophical ideas in the largely ignored works of José Martí and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara and then puts these ideas to work in a powerful critique of standard liberal assumptions about what it means to flourish as a human being. The book is a must read for philosophers, political theorists, and development ethicists who would like to challenge or expand their conceptions of Cuba - as well as the meaning of freedom, democracy, human rights, liberalism, capitalism, Marxism, 'developed', and 'developing'." —Christine Koggel, Carleton University, Canada This book argues that the overlooked ideas of José Martí and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara explain recent politics in Latin America and the Caribbean but also, even more significantly, offer a defensible alternative direction for global development ethics.

Research certainly is not a characteristic strength of private universities in either the region or most of the world.

POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES The Politics of Autonomy in Latin America
A History of the FTAA
The Art of Organising Hope
From Hegemony to Fragmentation in the Americas
Ana Cecilia Dinerstein, Department of Social and Policy Sciences, University of Bath, UK "Terrific and necessary. An excellent and informative account of the wonderful movements of revolt in Latin America in recent years."—John Holloway, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico
Marcel Nelson, Queens University, Canada
The author contests older concepts of autonomy as either revolutionary or ineffective vis-à-vis the state. Looking at four prominent Latin American movements, she defines autonomy as 'the art of organising hope': a tool for indigenous and non-indigenous movements to prefigure alternative realities at a time when utopia can be no longer objected.

Living in Blochian Times: Opening Remarks
Non-Governmental Public Action
Providing a critical account of the collapse of the FTAA negotiations and alterations to power relations in the Americas, this book argues that the collapse was rooted in a ‘crisis of authority’ prompted by growing opposition in the Americas to US leadership and the neo-liberal reforms that had been promoted by Washington since the 1980s.

Hernández, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA, Eliza Rodriguez y Gibson, Loyola Marymount University, USA "In their very readable collection [the authors] have compiled a list of scholars who are innovative thinkers, insightful academicians, and passionate writers unafraid to examine, to rethink the shifting and fluidity of what is meant, or not, by Latinidad...

ART, LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE Borges the Unacknowledged Medievalist Old English and Old Norse in His Life and Work
New Trends in Contemporary Latin American Narrative
M.J. Toswell, University of Western Ontario, Canada The Argentinian writer and poet Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) was many things during his life, but what has gone largely unnoticed is that he was a medievalist, and his interest in Germanic medievalism was pervasive throughout his work. This study will consider the medieval elements in Borges creative work and shed new light on his poetry.

Isabel Dulfano, University of Utah, USA This text analyzes the literary representation of Indigenous women in Latin American letters from colonization to the twentieth century, arguing that contemporary theorization of Indigenous feminism deconstructs denigratory imagery and offers a (re) signification, (re)semantization and reinvigoration of what it means to be an Indigenous woman.

Antonio Espinoza, Department of History, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA "Espinoza places patrimonialism and patronage at the center of elite efforts to establish a staterun education system, and simultaneously demonstrates how trends in education reflected broader dynamics of Peruvian nation-building. The work's century-long time frame allows Espinoza to effectively trace the shaky transition from colonialism to independence, the vicissitudes of creating a modern society and economy, and the eventual stabilization of an industrializing nation in the twentieth century . . . This book is an important contribution to both the history of education in Latin America and to the history of early national Peru." —The American Historical Review Espinoza's work illuminates how education was the site of ideological and political struggle in Peru during its early years as an independent state. Spanning 100 years and discussing both urban and rural education, it shows how school funding, curricula, and governance became part of the cultural process of state-building in Peru.

The Post-Columbus Syndrome Identities, Cultural Nationalism, and Commemorations in the Caribbean Fabienne Viala, University of Warwick, UK "Fabienne Viala's book is a study in breadth, depth, and virtuosity. Covering an astonishingly wide range of subjects, genres, writers, and theories, and delving thoughtfully into the underlying myths and beliefs of three different linguistic areas of the Caribbean, she succeeds spectacularly in finding something new to say not only about some of the Caribbean 'giants' of thinking about identity, but, as few observers of the modern Caribbean can, also about a common cultural identity, based on her genuinely original interpretation of the contested and always complex notion of cultural memory. It is a joy to read." — Antoni Kapcia, University of Nottingham, UK

Reflecting on the relationship between memory, power, and national identity, this book examines the complex reactions of the people of the Caribbean to the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of the New World.

FILM, MEDIA AND CULTURE Cultural Producers and Social Change in Latin America
FILM, MEDIA AND CULTURE
Latino Studies Editor: Lourdes Torres, Latin American and Latino Studies, DePaul University Latino Studies has established itself as the leading, international peer-reviewed journal for advancing interdisciplinary scholarship about the lived experience and struggles of Latinas and Latinos for equality, representation, and social justice.
Felipe Cala Buendía, independent scholar, USA "This is a timely and far-reaching comparative study of creative responses to economic and political crises in Colombia, Peru and Argentina. Cala Buendía's bold and nuanced interpretation demonstrates the surprising goals achieved by spontaneous, unconventional cultural initiatives that emerge from both grass-roots and governmental levels. Culture is truly the protagonist of this story where the political agency of visual art, performance, and literature provides effective tactics in the contemporary Latin American public sphere." —Marcy Schwartz, Rutgers University, USA In Argentina, Colombia, and Peru, there has been an out-pouring of popular-performative activities that have asked citizens to pose questions about the social order and about the memories of recent atrocities. Cala Buendía looks at ways in which cultural producers adapted or developed strategies as resources for social actors to use for change.

Cuban Women and Salsa To the Beat of Their Own Drum Delia Poey, Florida State University, USA "Taking a cultural studies approach, Poey examines a variety of materials: movies, recordings and accounts of live performances, song lyrics, and videos. Throughout she is interested in how performers challenge and inflect racial and gender norms. I especially liked the discussion of the way Mendoza substituted the audience for the male partner in a guaguancó, the critique of Estefan's carefully crafted career and persona, and the insightful reading in the last chapter of Albita's album covers and music videos. A great deal has been written about salsa music in the last several decades, but I don't know of a monograph like this one, which addresses exclusively the contribution of women performers." — Gustavo Pérez Firmat, Columbia University, USA Salsa is both an American and transnational phenomenon, however women in salsa have been neglected. To explore how female singers negotiate issues of gender, race, and nation through their performances, Poey engages with the ways they problematize the idea of the nation and facilitate their musical performances' movement across multiple borders.

Journeys in Argentine and Brazilian Cinema Road Films in a Global Era Natália Pinazza, Birkbeck, University of London, UK "Pinazza does an excellent job of tying the production details and politico-economic context of filmmaking together with the thematic details and social issues addressed in the diegesis of each film analyzed. Readers will enjoy being introduced to a number of interesting films dealing with contemporary issues at the local level in dialogue with the global and the author's discussion of the films will encourage further exploration on the part of the readers—thus continuing on their own 'journey.'"— Jack A. Draper III, Associate Professor, Portuguese, University of Missouri, USA Many South American films that use the popular road movie format to examine regional culture and attitudes, especially in Argentina and Brazil.

Rêgo and Brasileiro have moved beyond the mere confines of the field of film studies and enriched the text with thought-provoking essays written by academics from several disciplines. The result is a fascinating volume containing essays that inquire deeply about issues involving identity, immigration, transnationalism, and the meaning of 'home' in an increasingly complex world." —Eva Paulino Bueno, Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, St. Mary's University, USA

FILM, MEDIA AND CULTURE Puerto Rican Soldiers and Second-Class Citizenship Representations in Media Manuel G. Avilés-Santiago, Arizona State University, USA "Responding to the fact that the experiences of Puerto Rican soldiers have been almost entirely absent from mainstream media for decades, Manuel Avilés-Santiago's groundbreaking study explores how they self-represent themselves and their role in the War on Terror via social media. This much-needed investigation is thoroughly engaging, important, and enlightening." —Charles Ramírez Berg, Joe M. Dealey, Sr. Professor, Media Studies, The University of Texas at Austin, USA Puerto Rican soldiers have been consistently whitewashed out of the narrative of American history despite playing parts in all American wars since WWI.

Sports and Nationalism in Latin/o America Edited by Héctor Fernández L’Hoeste, Georgia State University, USA, Robert McKee Irwin, University of California, Davis, USA, Juan Poblete, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA "This book is a welcome contribution to a tremendously important but inexplicably neglected field in Latin American popular cultures. The politics of sport have accompanied the processes of urbanization and modernization, and shaped national, gendered, and class identities in Latin America since late nineteenth century. Nowadays, sports' transnational commodification poses new and complex queries that demand our attention." — Abril Trigo, Ohio State University, USA and author of Crisis y Transfiguración de los Estudios Culturales Latinoamericanos This collection interrogates sports in Latin America as a key terrain in which nation is defined and populations are interpellated through emotionally charged practices (state policy, media representations, and sports play itself by professionals, national teams and amateurs) of inclusion and exclusion.

Virtual Orientalism in Brazilian Culture Edward King, Bristol University, UK "Virtual Orientalism in Brazilian Culture is an important addition to the growing body of cultural studies materials in Latin America that move away from dominant anchors in literature and, in recent decades, film. There is so much fascinating cultural material in Latin America to be examined from a systematic and scholarly fashion, and studies like King's provides appropriate models." —David William Foster, Arizona State University, USA Orientalist discourses in Brazilian culture are an expression of anxieties about the re-structuring of time and space in the network age. The book examines engagements with Japanese postmodern culture in Brazil, which emerge in relation to the history of Japanese immigration and through a series of European and North American discursive mediations.

FILM, MEDIA AND CULTURE Reclaiming Poch@ Pop
THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE
Examining the Rhetoric of Cultural Deficiency Cruz Medina, Santa Clara University, USA "Reclaiming Poch@ Pop is a must-read for all scholars. Although the Poch@ identity - a complex mestizaje way of being - has existed within the Latino culture for years, its existence has often been downplayed within the academy. Medina's work on Poch@ismo and artists is a desperately needed piece to the puzzle for academics across disciplines of rhetoric, communication, writing, pop culture, and ethnic studies." — Octavio Pimentel, Associate Professor, Texas State University, USA Tracing the historical trajectory of the pocho (Latinos who are influenced by Anglo culture) in pop culture, Medina shows how the trope of pocho/pocha/poch@, which traditionally signified the negative connotation of ‘cultural traitor’ in Spanish, has been reclaimed through the pop cultural productions of Latinos who self-identify as poch@. Contents: Foreword; Arturo Aldama * 1. A Poch@ Pop Preface * 2. Proto-Poch@ Representations in Film * 3. Poch@ Methodological (re)appropriation for Resistance * 4.

Indigenous Education through Dance and Ceremony A Mexica Palimpsest Ernesto Colín, School of Education, Loyola Marymount University, USA "Centered around descriptions of the interrelated practices of Calpulli Tonalehqueh, an extant Danza group in San Jose, California, Indigenous Education through Dance and Ceremony makes a significant contribution to the current research literature, especially ethnographies of education. This book aims toward a radical reformulation of what education might look like, as both an intentionally (and intently) personal and cultural/historical project. The project begins to reveal the inner workings of the Calpulli as well as the way those inner workings must reach across space and time for materials and guidance."— Jason Duque Raley, Lecturer, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA In the first book on Aztec dance in the United States, Ernesto Colín combines cultural anthropology, educational theory, and postcolonial theory to create an innovative, interdisciplinary, long-term ethnography of an Aztec dance circle and makes a case for the use of the metaphor of palimpsest as an ethnographic research tool. Contents: 1. A Danza Landscape * 2. Calpulli (An Alliance of Houses) * 3. Tequio (Community Work) * 4. Tlacahuapahualiztli (The Art of Educating a Person) * 5. Cargos * 6. Macehualiztli (The Art of Deserving) * 7. Decolonial Pedagogy * 8. Re-inscribing the Self * 9. A Modern Mexica Palimpsest
