Violência contra as Mulheres e Violência de Gênero: Notas sobre Estudos Feministas no Brasil
Authors: MacDowell Santos Cecília , Pasinato Izumino Wânia
Published: February 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é fazer uma revisão crítica das principais referências teóricas das Ciências Sociais na área de violência contra as mulheres no Brasil. Procuramos, sobretudo, analisar como os conceitos de violência contra as mulheres e violência de gênero são formulados e utilizados nos estudos feministas sobre o tema nos últimos vinte e cinco anos.A literatura sobre violência contra as mulheres tem suas origens no início dos anos 80, constituindo uma das principais áreas temáticas dos estudos feministas no Brasil. Esses estudos são fruto das mudanças sociais e políticas no país, acompanhando o desenvolvimento do movimento de mulheres e o processo de redemocratização. Nessa época, um dos principais objetivos do movimento é dar visibilidade à violência contra as mulheres e combatê-la mediante intervenções sociais, psicológicas e jurídicas.  Uma de suas conquistas mais importantes são as delegacias da mulher, as quais ainda hoje se constituem na principal política pública de combate à violência contra as mulheres e à impunidade.
The Specter of Liberalism: Notes on the Democratic Party of São Paulo and the Historiography of Twentieth-Century Brazil
Authors: Woodard James P.
Published: February 2024

The Democratic Party of São Paulo (PD) occupies a curious position in the history and historiography of 20th century Brazil. Founded amid discontent with the machine politics of the so-called "Old Republic," the party mounted an important if ultimately unsuccessful challenge to the state's ruling Republican Party (PRP) during the years 1926-1928, shrilly calling for reform and running candidates in three statewide elections. Thereafter, having failed to bring about the renovation of state politics from within, PD leaders tied their party's fortunes to dissident elites from other states, first in the failed presidential campaign of 1929-1930, in which they backed gaúcho Getúlio Vargas against PRP candidate and fellow paulista Júlio Prestes de Albuquerque, then in the successful "Revolution" of 1930, which placed Vargas in the Presidential Palace. [1] Expecting to be provided with stewardship over their home state, the democráticos were soon disappointed; as their disappointment gave way to a deep and abiding sense of betrayal, they broke with Vargas and made common cause with their former enemies in the PRP in the Constitutionalist Revolt of 1932. Following the failure of this revolt, the party limped along for a little over a year until its ultimate dissolution in February 1934.
Historiar la fotografía
Authors: Mraz John
Published: February 2024

Al fin, la academia empieza a descubrir el mundo hipervisual en el que habitamos. Desgraciadamente, los espacios abiertos por los nuevos medios como la fotografía se están llenando a menudo con filtraciones de los Estudios Culturales y de la Historia del Arte. En los Estados Unidos y en Europa los dizque "teóricos" intentan legitimar sus rollos autoreferenciales sobre la cultura visual al citar efusivamente a los "B" -Barthes, Bourdieu, Baudrillard y Benjamin- mientras que en México las investigaciones en historia de la fotografía están frecuentemente guiadas por los anticuados métodos de la Historia del Arte en su forma más tradicional.En este ensayo examino algunas posibilidades de historiar con la fotografía. Por un lado, el libro de Rebeca Monroy está enfocado, en gran parte, sobre cuestiones de representación, analiza las formas con las cuales el fotoperiodista Enrique Díaz se expresó. Al poner al fotógrafo en el meollo de la discusión, la autora construye lo que podríamos llamar una historia de la fotografía, un campo que, a grosso modo, se relaciona con la historia cultural, cuya tarea central se ha descrito como el "desciframiento de significado". Por el otro lado, el libro de Fernando Aguayo se dirige sobre el contenido de las imágenes (aunque abarca un aspecto de análisis cultural también). Así, se lo podría ubicar dentro del área de la fotohistoria, el género que intenta construir una narrativa histórica con fotografías, en lugar de estudiar a los fotógrafos que las hicieron. Se podría considerar a la fotohistoria como un método de la historia social, sobre todo en la manera en que revela la vida material, la existencia cotidiana y los procesos de trabajo de la gente común. La tercera obra aquí contemplada, editada por Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, no es ni fu ni fa, sino más de lo mismo: un libro que -una vez más- esencialmente fue hecho para lucir sobre las mesas de la sala, aunque incorpora en sus cortos y limitados textos elementos tanto de la fotohistoria como de la historia de la fotografía.

Marta Traba es un personaje tan rico como difícil de asir. Puede ser pensada como crítica de arte, intelectual latinoamericanista, escritora de géneros diversos, pintora, organizadora cultural y, en el más despersonalizado e infeliz de los casos, "esposa de" Ángel Rama. Cada una de estas aristas conduce a partes de una trayectoria vital e intelectual compleja y controvertida. Las obras aquí comentadas eligen caminos disímiles a la hora de dar cuenta de este itinerario.
Victims of the Chilean Miracle: Workers and Neoliberalism in the Pinochet Era, 1973-2002. PETER WINN (ed.), Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2004.
Authors: Barr-Melej Patrick
Published: February 2024

If the myth of “The Chilean Miracle” is dying a slow death (among academics, at least), then Peter Winn’s edited volume Victims of the Chilean Miracle is akin to an anxious and skillful gravedigger. For three decades economists and political figures in and outside Chile have touted the neo-liberal economic reforms put in place by the Pinochet regime (1973-1990) and the so-called Chicago Boys—young Chilean economists trained at the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman and Arnold Harberger.
Imaginación política del antiimperialismo: intelectuales y política en el Cono Sur a fines de los sesenta
Authors: Marchesi Aldo
Published: February 2024

En un reciente artículo Oscar Terán se refirió a las corrientes espiritualistas de principios del siglo XX como precursoras de las actuales nociones de antiimperialismo (Terán, 2005).  El fino análisis realizado por el historiador argentino  acerca de las maneras en que autores como Rodó y Darío conceptualizaron la influencia norteamericana en América Latina,  nos sugiere variadas preguntas sobre una categoría que, aunque escasamente elaborada en la reflexión académica, ha sido particularmente relevante en la dinámica política del siglo XX latinoamericano. Sin embargo, comparando esta generación espiritualista del novecientos con otras nociones de antiimperialismo que existieron en el siglo, podemos ver la inmensa diversidad de significados que se escondieron detrás del mismo concepto. En este sentido, no parece adecuado pensar esta categoría como un concepto permanente, sino como una noción relativamente débil detrás de la cual se han depositado variadas ideas acerca de como articular la tensión entre nación e imperio en cada momento histórico.
Hello, Hello Brazil: Popular Music in the Making of Modern Brazil. BRYAN McCANN, Durham: Duke University Press, 2004.
Authors: Dávila Jerry
Published: February 2024

Generations of historians have been drawn to Brazil's Vargas Era (1930-1954), not only because of its influence over that country's politics and economy, but also because many of the social, cultural and technological changes that would characterize Brazil's twentieth century took root, flourished and related to each other during that quarter century. In Hello, Hello Brazil, Bryan McCann explores the rise of popular music, radio and advertising during the golden age of radio broadcasting in Brazil, which roughly coincided with Vargas' presence on the national stage (commercial radio legislation was regularized in 1932, and radio began to lose ground to television in the mid-1950s).
El Nunca Más en fascículos: el infierno resignificado
Authors: Crenzel Emilio
Published: February 2024

A mediados de la década del noventa, el tema de los desaparecidos adquirió una renovada presencia en la Argentina. Por un lado, en febrero de 1995 la opinión pública se vio conmocionada cuando el ex capitán de la Armada, Adolfo Scilingo, narró su participación en operativos ordenados por sus superiores en los cuales, desde aviones de la Marina, fueron arrojados al mar desaparecidos con vida. Por otra parte, diversos actores sociales comenzaron a preocuparse por instituir soportes para transmitir el pasado de violencia política y horror dado el proceso de tránsito generacional que, la proximidad del vigésimo aniversario del golpe de Estado de 1976, hizo evidente. En este contexto, en julio de 1995, el matutino Página/12[2] decidió ofrecer a sus lectores una edición por entregas del Nunca Más. Este informe fue elaborado en 1984 por la Comisión Nacional sobre la Desaparición de Personas (CONADEP), creada por el presidente Alfonsín tras el retorno de la democracia política en Argentina para investigar el destino de los desaparecidos.

El hombre que lo podía todo, todo, todo. Ensayo sobre el mito presidencial mexicano. JUAN ESPÍNDOLA MATA, México: El Colegio de México, 2004.
Authors: Rubí Calderón José Ramón López
Published: February 2024

El singular régimen autoritario posrevolucionario mexicano, vigente durante la mayor parte del siglo pasado, contaba con tres piezas definitorias: un sistema electoral restrictivo, un sistema de partido hegemónico y un sistema de gobierno centrado en el presidente de la República. El edificio de poder político del México posrevolucionario tuvo su columna en el acoplamiento exacto de ellas y en su funcionamiento como un todo: organizadas y calificadas por sus gobiernos centrales unificados, las elecciones aseguraban la victoria y, por tanto, la continuidad en el poder de un Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) subordinado al titular de la silla presidencial.

Lengua y ritos del Palo Monte Mayombe: dioses cubanos y sus fuentes africanas. JESÚS FUENTES GUERRA & ARMIN SCHWEGLER, Madrid: Iberoamericana / Frankfurt am Main: Vervuert, 2005.
Authors: Ayorinde Christine
Published: February 2024

This study of the lengua or ritual language of Palo Monte Mayombe, an Afro-Cuban religious practice of western central African origin, reveals its Kikongo etymology. This finding is important as the "African" elements of the lengua palera were previously assumed to be a confluence or mixture of various Bantu languages. The authors of this book argue that, despite strategies of simplification, restructuring and phonetic accommodation prompted by Cuban Spanish, the lengua palera apparently contains no non-Kikongo African elements.
El Poder Judicial bonaerense en el primer peronismo: de la autonomía a la dependencia
Authors: Marcilese José
Published: February 2024

A pesar del rol fundamental que detenta el Poder Judicial, en su carácter de institución estatal encargada de resolver los conflictos legales que afectan las relaciones entre individuos y organizaciones, tanto públicas como privadas, su evolución ha sido solo escasamente considerada por la producción que aborda el estudio de la historia argentina contemporánea. Los trabajos que se orientaron en esa línea investigativa mayoritariamente lo han hecho desde una óptica nacional, centrando su enfoque en la relación entre el Poder Ejecutivo y la Corte Suprema de la Nación, como una forma de entender la dinámica política de determinados gobiernos.

Quality, Nation, and Color: Constructing Identities in Central Brazil, 1775-1835
Authors: Karasch Mary
Published: February 2024

Brazil is but one region of the Portuguese Atlantic world in which elites from Europe discriminated against people of indigenous and African descent. Although the origins of prejudice and discrimination may be found in early colonial Brazil, we can also observe patterns of social relations based on older Iberian concepts of "race" preserved in Brazil's interior in the former captaincy of Goiás, now the modern states of Goiás and Tocantins. In the eighteenth century, Goiás had been one of the richest captaincies of Brazil due to its gold mines. As in other captaincies of Brazil, the Portuguese had transferred their traditional values and hierarchical social structure from Portugal to this remote region, where they justified their rule and defined those they governed utilizing a number of criteria to distinguish themselves from the strangers in their midst and win others to their side as loyal allies of the Crown. In doing so, however, they rarely invoked "race" in the modern meaning of the word. Instead, Luso-Brazilian elites focused on their own religion, quality, and white color that differed from the slave origins, darker colors, or foreign background of others. Although we are limited to documents produced by the literate Luso-Brazilians of the Captaincy for status values and definitions of "the other," occasionally, we also obtain insights into how indigenous people defined "the other" or how freed Africans self-identified in black lay brotherhoods. One result of such flexible categories is that Portuguese governors did not always privilege white men in Goiás and even allied with free men of color and indigenous women against local whites. But this was typical of colonial Brazil in which a talented few could escape the limitations of their low status or slave origin, but the status of their ethnic or racial group remained unchanged.
Erecting and Erasing Boundaries: Can We Combine the “Indo” and the “Afro” in Latin American Studies?
Authors: Weinstein Barbara
Published: February 2024

One of the ongoing tensions in the field of Latin American history is the relationship between Spanish America and Portuguese America, and to what extent they together constitute a coherent object of study called Latin America. Brazilianists never tire of bemoaning the hegemony of the Mexicanists (particularly in the field of history) and the reluctance of most Spanish Americanists to fully integrate Brazil into their courses and transnational frameworks. And it's not just an issue for historians. I'll never forget that chilling moment when a well-meaning but ingenuous graduate student doing a Ph.D. in Latin American literature asked me if Brazil had produced a literary corpus worth reading. It was genuinely horrifying, if not entirely surprising, to learn that this "Latin Americanist" had never even heard of Machado de Assis, and had surely not read a single one of his novels.
Fluid Borders: Latino Power, Identity, and Politics in Los Angeles. LISA GARCÍA BEDOLLA: Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006.
Authors: Delgado Héctor L.
Published: February 2024

For decades, Latinos/Hispanics have been the proverbial "sleeping giant" who slept through the 70s, 80s, 90s, and now in the first decade of the twenty-first century, continues to sleep. In fact, in her book Fluid Borders: Latino Power, Identity, and Politics in Los Angeles, Dr. Lisa García Bedolla quotes Otto Santa Ana: "The Mexican sleeping giant never woke up. It died in its sleep in the summer of 1993." Fluid Borders, however, is not a book about a funeral, but rather a well-researched, thoughtful, and timely book about Latino, but principally Mexican, political behavior.

México fue objeto de particular interés para Alemania durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. De hecho, en la primavera de 1917 el conocido "telegrama Zimmermann" fue la excusa que sirvió al gobierno norteamericano para justificar su ingreso a la contienda. Nada indicaría que aquel interés desapareció cuando el estallido de la Segunda Guerra, sobre todo tomando en cuenta que el petróleo mexicano tuvo en la Alemania de Hitler su principal mercado consumidor, una vez que, a consecuencia de la nacionalización de 1938, norteamericanos e ingleses declararon un boicot a las compras de hidrocarburos mexicanos.

El populismo, entre religión y política. Sobre las raíces históricas del antiliberalismo
Authors: Zanatta Loris
Published: February 2024

América Latina, como es bien sabido, es el paraíso del populismo. Lo ha sido un tiempo, cuando estaban en el escenario los Perón, los Vargas, los Cárdenas, por mencionar los casos más famosos. Hoy en día sigue siéndolo en cierta medida a través de los Chávez y sus émulos a lo largo y ancho del continente, en los Parlamentos y en los sindicatos, en los cuarteles, en los movimientos sociales, en las Iglesias y por supuesto en las casas de gobierno. Desde Argentina hasta Ecuador, desde Bolivia hasta México, con las raras y parciales excepciones de Chile y Uruguay, el populismo es y ha sido durante gran parte del siglo XX una de las características endémicas de la vida latinoamericana, tanto en la realidad política y social como en la religiosa, artística e intelectual. ¿Por qué? ¿Qué hay de tan fértil en el terreno de aquel continente para hacer madurar tan a menudo y tan fuerte la planta del populismo? Y, sobre todo: ¿qué es ese fenómeno que se suele llamar con un mismo nombre, a pesar de tener rostros e historias muchas veces tan diversos entre sí?
El derrocamiento de Hipólito Yrigoyen: acontecimiento, vacío y lenguaje
Authors: Feldman Hernán
Published: February 2024

En ocasión de celebrarse el acto inaugural de la Exposición Rural de Palermo, el día 31 de agosto de 1930, el clima lluvioso lleva a la comisión directiva de la Sociedad Rural Argentina a montar el acto en el restaurante del predio ferial, en vez de hacerlo al aire libre con el acostumbrado desfile del ganado premiado. Al margen del elemento climático, la diferencia no era menor. En el restaurante menguaba el elemento popular y se reunía, en cambio, la concurrencia más elegante, entre la que se contaban señoras y niñas de la elite porteña. [1] Mientras en el interior del restaurante se improvisaba un palco para las autoridades invitadas, las damas se disponían a sentarse en el ala izquierda. Los hombres, en tanto, permanecerían de pie en el ala derecha del salón por falta de sillas.
Asociaciones civiles y estado en los años veinte: intervenciones del Automóvil Club Argentino y delTouring Club Argentino en vialidad y turismo
Authors: Piglia Melina
Published: February 2024

Desde las últimas décadas del siglo XX, el debate académico y político sobre las características de la sociedad civil y sobre la relación entre ésta y el Estado ha adquirido particular relevancia en el mundo, [2] y especialmente en la historiografía latinoamericana de los últimos veinticinco años, en parte debido a las preguntas abiertas por las transiciones democráticas en la región. Como ha sostenido Hilda Sábato, la reintroducción de la noción de sociedad civil, aunque plagada de ambigüedades teóricas y pretensiones normativas, ha vuelto visibles ciertos problemas, instituciones y prácticas que habían pasado desapercibidos para historiadores y cientistas sociales, alentando nuevas lecturas sobre el pasado.

How do you fit (or misfit) "Latin American" with "Jewish"? Lately, a debate has been smoldering between adherents of the time-honored formula "Latin American Jewish" and the upstart proponents of the appellation "Jewish Latin American." The difference isn't merely dancing on grammatical pinheads but a shift in thinking about nation, identity, minority, and belonging.
Nacionalismo e Inmigración La Cuestión Étnica en las Elites Liberales e Intelectuales Argentinas
Authors: SENKMAN LEONARDO
Published: February 2024

Los años entre las dos guerras mundiales fueron decisivos para que la clase dirigente argentina y la opinión pública del país considerasen la clausura del ciclo inmigratorio masivo. En la literatura sobre este tema se han sobredimensionado los aspectos económicos y políticos que trajeron aparejados la primera posguerra mundial, las secuelas de la crisis económica después de 1929, la cuestión de los refugiados españoles y del nazismo y el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pocos estudios se han consagrado a complementar a estos factores externos con la indagación de transformaciones internas de índole ideológico-cultural de las élites liberales-conservadoras, tanto en los niveles de la política como del campo intelectual de los años treinta. Una de las posibilidades más fértiles que ofrece la historia social y cultural de la inmigración en Argentina es el análisis de la gestación y desarrollo de consideraciones de índole étnica en las actitudes y el diseño de políticas inmigratorias por parte de esas élites durante coyunturas críticas, como fueron los años previos y durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Precisamente el objeto de este trabajo es articular las preocupaciones étnicas de algunos representantes liberales y conservadores de esas élites, por un lado, con las de destacados representantes del campo intelectual, por el otro, y tratar de ofrecer alguna hipótesis explicativa a la peculiar reacción nacionalista que comparten todos estos hombres, formados en una común matriz ideológica de signo liberal que auspició la inmigración espontánea a la Argentina.

Las violaciones de derechos humanos en América Latina durante las décadas de 1970 y 1980 fueron incontables, aunque quizás las más masivas y conocidas fueron la cárcel (con la consiguiente tortura en muchos casos), la muerte (asesinatos políticos y desaparición forzada), el exilio y la conculcación de derechos políticos y laborales. Mientras las dos primeras han sido bastante estudiadas desde las ciencias sociales e incluso debatidas en los diversos espacios públicos nacionales, el exilio ha sido cubierto, en general, de un olvido público.

An Unbroken Loyalty in Turbulent Times: La Prensa and Liberalism in Argentina, 1930-1946
Authors: Nallim Jorge
Published: February 2024

In recent years, a growing body of scholarship has revised one of the mostcontroversial periods in Argentine history: the sixteen years between the mi- litary coup of September 1930 and the presidential election of Juan Perón in 1946. These years have been traditionally interpreted as a transition period, a “prelude” to the emergence of Peronism, characterized by the decadence of the nineteenth-century liberal republic in a context of political and ideological crisis and economic and social transformation. While acknowledging some of those features, new studies emphasize the blurred political and ideological boundaries of the main political and social actors and locate them within the broader histo- rical framework of the interwar years. For example, they show that the Radical and Socialist parties and the conservative groups that gathered in the ruling Concordancia coalition were deeply divided and far from being ideologically homogeneous, and that varied positions on state economic intervention, free trade, and industrialization generated both sharp intra-party differences as wellas cross-party coincidences.
Judging Policy: Courts and Policy Reform in Democratic Brazil. MATTHEW M. TAYLOR: Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2008.

Published: February 2024

Matthew M. Taylor, a North Americanpolitical scientist who teaches at the University of São Paulo, seeks toexplain why it is that particular political actors have used the federal courtsto challenge Brazilian presidents and Congress on matters of policy reform. Inrecent years Brazilian courts have often served as effective weapons for thosewho want to delay the implementation of policies, whether the privatization ofstate-owned companies or the reform of pension programs. In some cases, thishas created an opportunity for the policies themselves to be changed. Taylorbuilds his argument in a core chapter on a relatively small number of casestudies from the 1990s when Fernando Henrique Cardoso was president.

Introduction or Why Should Historians of Modern Latin America Take Translation Seriously?
Authors: Tal Goldfajn , Preuss Ori , Sitman Rosalie
Published: February 2024

The present special issue is the result of the encounter between two historians and a translation scholar from Tel Aviv University who have worked together on several translation projects from Spanish and Portuguese into Hebrew [3] and who are intrigued by the complex relationship between translation and history in Latin America in general, and, more specifically, by the way in which translation has been approached by historians of modern Latin America. We wondered, for instance, why it is that historians most often disregard translation despite its marked constitutive role in the region's history, and the obvious fact that historians not only work with translated material but may, likewise, act as translators themselves. Our initial aim in this volume, therefore, was to bring together scholars from the field of translation studies with historians specializing in Latin America, in the hope of providing a possible context for a dialogue between these two fields. However, as the project progressed, the first became more dominant and the location of the encounter between the disciplines moved mainly to the texts themselves, where the traductólogos clearly engage with issues and concerns more typically associated with the craft of the historian. Focusing on diverse cases across time and place in the region's history, and emphasizing different methodological and theoretical approaches, these essays provide a window on the advances of the field, at the same time as they raise important questions and possibly point to new avenues for future research for both historians of Latin America and translation scholars.

To Rise in Darkness: Revolution, Repression, and Memory in El Salvador, 1920-1932 contributes to a clearer understanding of a complex period of political, social, and cultural history, including how its contemporary interpretation reveals the dynamics of individual and social memory. In January 1932 a popular insurrection in western El Salvador was met with swift and brutal state-sanctioned retaliation resulting in the massacre of at least 10,000 mostly indigenous Nahuat-Pipil individuals followed by a long period of national military dictatorship. Over the years, interpretations and memories of the episode, commonly referred to as theMatanza (“the slaughter”), associate the violence with both pro- and anti-Communist discourse and mobilization, and the evanescence of an indigenous people and culture. Due in part to the scarcity of research on the topic, popular understanding about the Matanzamay have exaggerated the number of victims, perpetuated misinformation about immediate government policy toward indigenous culture, and attributed innocence or a lack of agency to indigenous people. To Rise in Darkness takes on the above-referenced associations and misunderstandings by examining a period of national history remarkable for its alignment of subaltern interests and revolutionary zeal.
The World of Lucha Libre: Secrets, Revelations, and Mexican National Identity. HEATHER LEVI: Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2008
Authors: Miller Linda Ledford
Published: February 2024

Lucha libre, or professional wrestling, is a tremendously popular sport and spectacle in Mexico. In May of 1997, Heather Levi began what would be a year of anthropological fieldwork investigating the world of lucha libre, training with other wrestlers (men and women), attending live matches, viewing televised matches, and interviewing both male and female wrestlers. Luis Jaramillo, a trainer retired from the wrestling ring and his masked identity as Águila Blanca, or White Eagle, agreed to take on Levi as an apprentice only if she understood that he dealt in the true lucha libre, not the spectacle for television viewers. Clearly Levi operates on the participant-observer model common to anthropological research. But she is not content to simply report on her field work. She wants to study lucha libre as "performance ... subculture...and symbol" in Mexican culture and politics.
Linked Labor Histories: New England, Colombia, and the Making of a Global Working Class. AVIVA CHOMSKY: Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2008
Authors: Striffler Steve
Published: February 2024

Like most studies of globalization, Linked Labor Histories is about mobility in the modern world: the mobility of people, capital, organizations, and ideas. But unlike many treatments of globalization, Aviva Chomsky's book carefully traces the connections and contradictions behind the movements, allowing us to see how seemingly random, apolitical, "economic" processes are not only profoundly interrelated and political but produce inequality on a global scale.Globalization, as Chomsky points out, is frequently understood-by college undergrads as well as economists at the World Bank and the IMF-as something new, something inevitable, and something that is generally benign and positive over the long term. The benefits of industrialization and increasing integration among the world's economies will eventually extend to everyone. The only problem is that some countries are not yet prepared to benefit from globalization. They need more globalization, deeper integration into the world economy. Once this happens, these countries will become "developed."
Waves of Decolonization: Discourses of Race And Hemispheric Citizenship in the United States. DAVID LUIS-BROWN: Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2008
Authors: Martínez María del Carmen
Published: February 2024

David-Luis Brown's meticulously researched Waves of Decolonization: Discourses of Race And Hemispheric Citizenship in the United States contributes much to the nascent but growing field of transnational and hemispheric studies. In this project, the author has produced an astute and imaginative analysis of interrelated, radical early twentieth-century Latin American and North American authors, texts, and movements. The book's scope and focus are ambitious and inventive. Indeed, the author posits crucial, substantive questions, employing a comparative interdisciplinary methodology with far-reaching implications. In doing so, his study advances and contributes to the continuing transformation of American Studies.

Contesting Internationalists: Transnational Anarchism, Anti-Imperialism and US Expansion in the Caribbean, 1890s-1920s
Authors: Shaffer Kirwin
Published: February 2024

By the early 1900s, anarchists penetrated the far corners of the Western Hemisphere. In Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Panama, activists—like their comrades everywhere—struggled to create their own anarchist visions of a free society for all, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality or gender. To accomplish this, anarchists challenged the power structures of society: capital, church and state. In Cuba, Luis Barcia, Adrián del Valle, Marcelo Salinas and Antonio Penichet, in Puerto Rico, Juan Vilar, Emiliano Ramos, and Ventura Mijón, and in Panama, M.D. Rodríguez, Aquilino López and José María Blázquez de Pedro always thought of themselves as internationalists. They rejected nationalist and patriotic rhetoric that they believed falsely divided humanity for the material and political interests of a few elite. As such, they saw their local and national struggles as part of a global anti-authoritarian movement.
Accounting for Violence: Marketing Memory in Latin America. KSENIJA BILBIJA and LEIGH A. PAYNE (eds.): Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2011
Authors: Sheinin David
Published: February 2024

We seem to want to account for violence with the linear. Often, though, derivatives bend the curve. At Canada’s new Human Rights Museum, the Shoah is worth one gallery of twelve. So too is the slaughter of indigenous peoples. Genocides in Ukraine, Srebrenica, Rwanda, and Armenia, however, will all be crammed into a single gallery. Several groups balked at the math. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress wants a separate gallery for the Holodomor. Meanwhile, as construction costs (and perhaps the political costs of accounting for violence) soar, the Canadian government has pulled the plug on more funding. The outer building structure is complete. As experts argue, though, over the value in gallery units of one genocide or another, for now there is no money to finish the museum. The building shell becomes a metaphor.
Transnational Politics in Central America. LUIS RONIGER: Gainesville: University Press of Florida , 2011.
Authors: Salzman Ryan
Published: February 2024

Central American scholars choose one of two approaches for studying the isthmus.  One is a broad region-based approach to analysis and the other is a state-centered approach that treats each Central American state as distinct from the others. The difference between these two approaches hinges on the perceived character of the people and institutions in Central America as either intrinsically shared or primarily unique to each state. In his book Transnational Politics in Central America, Luis Roniger sets out to help students of Central American politics and society make their decision about what approach to take by laying out the argument that the characteristics of Central American states and societies are influenced by one another and thus should be studied as a single system.

Operación Israel. El rearme argentino durante la Dictadura (1976-1983). HERNÁN DOBRY: Buenos Aires: Ediciones Lumiere, 2011.
Authors: Davidi Efraim
Published: February 2024

El Estado de Israel fue uno de los mayores proveedores de armas de la dictadura militar argentina que se inició con el golpe de estado del 24 de marzo de 1976 y que finalizó abruptamente como consecuencia de la crisis política y las protestas sociales desatadas después de la invasión militar a las Islas Malvinas en abril de 1982. De acuerdo a Dobry, "Israel se convirtió en uno de los principales proveedores de equipamientos militares dela Argentina, entre 1976 y 1986, con negocios del orden de los 707 millones de dólares, según datos recabados en esta investigación, lo que equivaldría a 1.548 millones de dólares en diciembre de 2010" (p. 165).
Remembrance of Things Past: The Trope of Africa in Afro-Brazilian Studies
Authors: Castillo Lisa Earl
Published: February 2024

Brazil’s African descendent population, the largest in the Americas, has attracted the attention of anthropologists since the end of the 19th century. Following the tendency of their times, early studies focused on practices that had parallels in the African continent. These practices were understood to be “survivals” that had been transported across the Atlantic intact.

Más allá del Medio Oriente. Las diasporas judía y árabe en América Latina broadens our understanding of Latin American societies in which mainstream study continues to be marred by the scant attention paid to ethnicity as a significant analytical category by a substantial number of scholars of the region.

The Allure of Labor: Workers, Race and the Making of the Peruvian State. PAULO DRINOT: Duke University Press, 2011
Authors: Smale Robert L.
Published: February 2024

The Peruvian elite, during the first several decades of the twentieth century, viewed industrialization as a panacea for the country’s perceived shortcomings, according to historian Paulo Drinot. They believed in industry’s talismanic power as a civilizing and modernizing force. While industrialization might have its dark side—the spread of subversive, leftist ideologies and social instability—it was a risk that modernizing elites were willing to take. They especially saw industrial work as a solution to what they judged to be Peru’s most bedeviling impediment: the country’s indigenous population.
