Las Derechas. The Extreme Right in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. SANDRA McGEE DEUTSCH: Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1999.
Authors: Sznajder Mario 
Published: February 2024

Sandra McGee Deutsch, ya conocida para los lectores de historia de América Latina por su Counterrevolution in Argentina, 1900-1932: The Argentine Patriotic League (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1986) y numerosos artículos en revistas especializadas, emprende en su nueva obra el ambicioso proyecto de escribir una historia comparada de las derechas extremas de Chile, Argentina y Brasil durante las primeras cuatro décadas del siglo. Ambicioso no sólo por la envergadura, la cantidad de fuentes primarias y secundarias empleadas, la extensión geográfica y cronológica de la obra, sino especialmente por el hecho de entrar en un área sumamente complicada como lo es la historia comparativa.
Cortiços e epidemias na Corte Imperial, São Paulo. SIDNEY CHALHOUB: Companhia das Letras, 1996.

Cuban and Cuban-American Women: An Annotated Bibliography. K. LYNN STONER (ed.): Wilmington, DE: SR Books, 2000.
Authors: Román Reinaldo L. 
Published: February 2024

Bibliographies are difficult to judge; those outside of the field can seldom assess if there have been significant omissions, or if they account for the latest scholarship. The merits of this exceptional research tool, however, will be evident to students of Latin America and the Caribbean. Lynn Stoner and Luis Hipólito Serrano Pérez's work offers some 2000 annotated entries --both archival and scholarly-- pertaining to Cuban and Cuban-American women from the late nineteenth to the twentieth centuries, with the bulk focusing on the latter. Individual entries range from a few lines on a little-known mambisa, to references to entire collections of government and statistical data, to biographies. Six chapters are ordered chronologically and divided into sections covering the turn of the century, the early Republic, Batista's regime, the years of turmoil leading to the revolution, and post-revolutionary society. The concluding chapter concentrates on Cuban women in "exile," a term that the authors do not always differentiate adequately from migration.
La historiografía agraria argentina: Enfoques microhistóricos regionales para la macrohistoria rural del siglo XX (1980-1999)
Authors: Girbal-Blacha Noemí 
Published: February 2024

Planteo del tema
La República Argentina es conocida por su clima templado y su dilatada pampa, pero su territorio reconoce importantes diferencias regionales. Desde fines del siglo XIX se perfiló como un país agroexportador (cereales y carnes, preferentemente) dada la importancia del puerto de Buenos Aires, cuyas rentas aduaneras dividieron durante varias décadas los intereses de la Nación e impidieron hasta 1880 conformar el Estado Nacional. Como país receptor de inmigración masiva (italianos y españoles en su gran mayoría) y también de capital externo orientado a alimentar empréstitos gubernamentales y construir ferrocarriles, frigoríficos e infraestructura portuaria, por su concentración desigual afirmó profundas desigualdades interregionales. Los actores sociales con capacidades diversas de poder y de decisión dieron muestras de sus diferencias en la conformación del espacio socialmente construido. De todos modos, todas las regiones del país reconocerán un común denominador: la agricultura. Cereales y forrajes --además de ganado vacuno de alta mestización-- son típicos en la región pampeana; vitivinicultura en el Oeste cuyano; caña de azúcar en el Noroeste; quebracho y algodón en la región del Nordeste argentino y, junto al ganado ovino, fruticultura en los valles irrigados de la ilimitada Patagonia hacia el Sur.
The Landowners of the Argentine Pampas: A Social and Political History, 1860-1945. ROY HORA: Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2001.
Authors: Horowitz Joel 
Published: February 2024

If Roy Hora had post-modernist inclinations, his book might have been entitled The Invention of the Estanciero Class.He does not possess such inclinations. What he has given us is a well-written and clear presentation of the emergence of the estancieros as a separate, powerful and influential class, and then their decline. The focus is on the great landowners of the pampas, particularly those of the Province of Buenos Aires. If one were forced to place the work in a single category of history, it would be difficult, since it lies at the intersection of social, political, intellectual, and economic history. Although the book could not have been written much earlier, given its dependence on current historiography and its willingness to move beyond ideologically charged visions of large estate owners, it is traditional history in most senses. In the opinion of this reviewer, that is a good thing.
La dimensión política de la Corte Suprema durante el régimen peronista (1947-1955)
Authors: Abásolo Ezequiel 
Published: February 2024

El trabajo que se inicia se dedica a analizar la actuación de la Corte Suprema de Justicia argentina durante la mayor parte de las primeras gestiones gubernativas de Juan Domingo Perón - más precisamente, entre agosto de 1947 y septiembre de 1955. En este orden de cosas, la elección de las referidas fechas límite se debe a que en los meses y años referidos se produjeron modificaciones tan sensibles en la integración del Tribunal que bien puede hablarse de la existencia de una Corte que, íntimamente ligada con la estrella del régimen peronista, no sólo fue casi completamente distinta a la que la antecedió sino que también fue diferente a la que la sucedió.
The Wars of Independence in Spanish America. CHRISTON I. ARCHER (ed.): Wilmington, DE: SR Books, 2000.
Authors: Young Eric Van 
Published: February 2024

The Spanish American wars of independence in the first quarter of the nineteenth century have traditionally been a staple of Latin American historiography –think only of the hagiographies of many of the leading caudillos, the political histories of the era, and the historia patria tradition more generally. In recent years, however, there has been something of a boom in the literature as Latin American, United States, and European scholars have revisited the period and its antecedents from a number of new perspectives. Among the most salutary influences have been newer forms of social and cultural history emphasizing not only structural (that is, long-term socio-economic) factors, but also the lives of common people and the interventions such groups make in large political events, as well as anthropologized studies of peasants, in particular, and the problematics of large-scale guerrilla insurgencies. Most of these approaches are represented to some degree in this new anthology edited by Christon Archer, one of the leading modern historians of Mexican independence. The essays by contemporary scholars are drawn from published books and journal articles which originally appeared between 1968 and 1996, each introduced by a brief editor's paragraph setting them within a broader context. Although the emphasis in this interesting mixture of essays and primary-source readings is firmly on the military history of Mexico and the Bolivarian republics (Central America, Chile, and Argentina are left out, but one cannot do everything and hope for any depth of treatment, after all),
Joseño: Another Maya Voice Speaks from Guatemala. IGNACIO BIZARRO UJPÁN (edited and translated by James D. Sexton): Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2001.
Authors: Herrera Robinson A. 
Published: February 2024

The fruitful cooperation between Ignacio Bizarro Ujpán and James D. Sexton, initiated some thirty years before the publication of their latest effort, has produced four volumes: Son of Tecún Umán: A Maya Indian Tells His Life Story(1981); Campesino: The Diary of a Guatemalan Indian (1985); and Ignacio: The Diary of a Maya Indian of Guatemala(1992). The volumes follow the daily life and activities of Bizarro Ujpán, an important member of the highland indigenous community of San José la Laguna. While Son of Tecún Umán proved innovative and fresh when first published, testimonial literature has since come under fierce attack, as evidenced by the controversy over the writings of Rigoberta Menchú. David Stoll, and before him Dinesh D'Souza, has questioned the veracity of the information contained in Menchú's account and the role of Elisabeth Burgos as editor. At the heart of that debate lie questions of memory, the use of single indigenous informants, and the methodology of collecting and editing personal journals for presentation as narratives. Sexton tries to set himself apart from that controversy by presenting an explanation of the methodology employed in gathering information. But, ultimately, the work mildly suffers from a lack of background information on the events described, and from Bizarro Ujpán's self-portrayal as a humble member of his community.
Radical Women in Latin America – Left and Right. VICTORIA GONZÁLEZ & KAREN KAMPWIRTH (eds.):University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2001.
Authors: Ofer Inbal 
Published: February 2024

Starting in the early 1980s, and influenced by the second wave of feminist writings, a relatively large number of books were written which focused on the experiences of women in radical left-wing organizations and parties. In recent years, these have been followed by a smaller, but constantly growing, number of monographs paying similar attention to women on the Conservative Right and Radical Right of the political spectrum. Yet, amidst all of these, one would be hard pressed to find a comparative project that looks at women on both left- and right-wing organizations. Radical Women in Latin America – Left and Right, edited by Victoria González and Karen Kampwirth, is an outstanding effort to fill precisely this gap in the historiography.
City of Suspects. Crime in Mexico City, 1900-1931. PABLO PICCATO: Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2001.
Authors: Alazraki Paola Chenillo 
Published: February 2024

La ciudad de los sospechosos de Pablo Piccato es la historia de los criminales y sus víctimas en la ciudad de México a principios del siglo XX, cuando el crimen era —como ahora— una preocupación central de los habitantes de la capital. Sin embargo, mientras que los sectores privilegiados lo consideraban un obstáculo para la consolidación de su proyecto de orden social y progreso material, para la mayoría de la población —señala el autor—, incluyendo a los delincuentes y sus víctimas, era parte de la vida cotidiana.
Elites intelectuales y ciencias sociales en la Argentina de los años 60. El Instituto Torcuato Di Tella y la Nueva Economía
Authors: Plotkin Mariano Ben , Neiburg Federico 
Published: February 2024

El propósito de este trabajo es examinar el proceso de surgimiento de una nueva elite intelectual-estatal en la Argentina a partir de la década de 1950: los economistas profesionales. El desarrollo de esta elite es entendido como el resultado de dos procesos convergentes. En primer lugar, se vincula con las demandas de una burocracia estatal que se modernizaba como consecuencia de un orden internacional cambiante en el contexto de la Guerra Fría y de la Alianza para el Progreso, y debido a una profundización de la presencia del Estado en el campo económico. En segundo lugar, se asocia a las condiciones particulares de la evolución de la economía en la Argentina como disciplina a la vez científica y de Estado y, en términos más generales, a la constitución de un campo modernizado e internacionalizado de las ciencias sociales.

Rereading the Conquest: Power, Politics and the History of Early Colonial Michoacán, Mexico, 1521-1565 JAMES KRIPPNER-MARTÍNEZ: Pennsylvania: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 2001.
Authors: Megged Amos 
Published: February 2024

Fifteen years have passed since the publication of Selected Subaltern Studies, a groundbreaking book that initiated an entire field of thought and analysis: the deconstruction of history and historiography, and especially what "colonialism" has meant. Since Edward Said, Americanists, such as José Rabasa and Jorge Klor de Alva, as well as a growing number of others, have chosen this road, leaning heavily on what has already been learned from the field of literary criticism and, more recently, from the "new" intellectual history, and combining this with the methodology of post-Structuralism. Their general tenet is re-reading the texts, the sources, the discourse, in order to 'decipher' the innermost encoded predispositions that might have prompted the diverse colonial authors and actors to structure their contemporaneous scene in accordance with their own wishful and biased thinking. An entire debate began on the viability of those methods, and much of it was echoed in two editions of the Hispanic American Historical Review. Obviously, as in any other discipline, there are good and bad studies, and this should be the only way to judge their value and choice. Nevertheless, what one often asks oneself is: does the particular method or tool chosen bring about an innovative approach, or is a fruitful outcome reached after reviewing the sources from a different angle?
Argentina on the couch: Psychiatry, state and society, 1880 to the present. MARIANO B. PLOTKIN: Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2003.
Authors: Donghi Tulio Halperín 
Published: February 2024

El contenido de este volumen editado por Mariano Plotkin --quien en su reciente Freud in the Pampas (Stanford, 2001) nos ha ofrecido una agudísima reconstrucción de la trayectoria del sicoanálisis en la Argentina – está más fidedignamente anunciado en el subtítulo que en el título, ya que dos de sus tres secciones se ocupan de una etapa previa a la introducción del diván en la práctica sicoterapéutica.

Published: February 2024

Charles Bergquist, Ricardo Peñaranda and Gonzalo Sánchez have edited another book dealing with violence in Colombia. Their previous effort, Violence in Colombia: the Contemporary Crisis in Historical Perspective, was published in 1992 and offered a broad, sweeping, fourteen-chapter historical narrative of Colombia's violence. Their most recent work, published as Violence in Colombia 1990-2000: Waging War and Negotiating Peace (2001) focuses on Colombian violence in the final decade of the twentieth century.
The Exhaustion of Difference: The Politics of Latin American Cultural Studies. ALBERTO MOREIRAS: Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2001.
Authors: Rippberger Susan J. 
Published: February 2024

The Exhaustion of Difference is a multi-disciplined treatise on the state of cultural studies at the university. In his analysis, Alberto Moreiras merges culture, politics, and philosophy to comment on cultural identity within rampant globalization and assimilation to Western European, capitalist values. Moreiras censures the purpose of the university as a means of global domination. He advocates reframing cultural studies through subalternity as an alternative to more traditional (e.g., area studies) conceptualizations of identity and difference.

Corn and Capitalism: How a Botanical Bastard Grew to Global Dominance. ARTURO WARMAN: Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 2003.
Authors: McCreery David 
Published: February 2024

First, ask yourself, how much do I want to know about corn? If the answer is less than a lot, Corn and Capitalism perhaps should not top your reading list. On the other hand, if you are willing to keep an open mind, the book will reward your attention. In it the Mexican anthropologist Arturo Warman examines the history and development of corn, a "bastard" of human creation, including the biology and economy of the plant, its dissemination over space and time, and the human and ecological effects of corn's widespread adoption, from population growth to deficiency diseases.
Disease in the History of Modern Latin America: from Malaria to AIDS. DIEGO ARMUS (ed.): Durham, NC: Duke UniversityPress, 2003.
Authors: Nakache Gabriel 
Published: February 2024

This is a collection of articles by various researchers dealing with thevast field of health, disease, and sickness in LatinAmerica. The editor, Diego Armus, who is also the author of one ofthe articles, lays in the introduction the historiographic foundation for this awakening field, known inthe past simply as "the history of medicine in LatinAmerica." Armus redefines the boundaries of the field, mainlyby dividing it to three distinctive, but often interrelated, sub-fields --thehistory of medicine, the history of public health and the socio-culturalhistory of disease. The following articles serve as examples to support the newly constructedhistoriographic structure.

Women, Youth, and Direct Democracy. TEMMA KAPLAN Taking Back the Streets University of California Press, Berkeley, Los Angeles, London 2003.
Authors: Groves Tamar 
Published: February 2024

People who dare to stand up against authoritarian regimes make a very exciting topic for research. Their courageous and often creative struggle rarely leaves one indifferent. Very often it is obvious that the investigator himself not only admires his subjects of research, but also sees his own work of recording their actions as contributing to their struggle. Taking Back the Streets is an especially clear example of such a case. Temma Kaplan openly declares herself to be a scholar-activist who is publicizing the story of her subjects in accordance with their wishes.

Incomplete Democracy: Political Democratization in Chile and Latin America. MANUEL ANTONIO GARRETÓN, Chapel Hill, NC: The University of North Carolina Press, 2003.
Authors: Levitt Barry S. 
Published: February 2024

Reading much of Manuel Antonio Garretón’s recent work, one cannot help but be reminded of a quote from Antonio Gramsci: “The old is dying, and the new cannot be born; in the interregnum there arises a great variety of morbid symptoms.” This is a particularly apt synopsis of Incomplete Democracy, the updated and translated compilation of Garretón’s Hacia una nueva era política (1995) and Política y sociedad entre dos épocas (2000).
