Isles of Noise: Sonic Media in the Caribbean
ISBN: 9781469630335 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this media history of the Caribbean, Alejandra Bronfman traces how technology, culture, and politics developed in a region that was "wired" earlier and more widely than many other parts of the Americas. Haiti, Cuba, and Jamaica acquired radio and broadcasting in the early stages of the global expansion of telecommunications technologies. Imperial histories helped forge these material connections through which the United States, Great Britain, and the islands created a virtual laboratory for experiments in audiopolitics and listening practices.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Outside of music, the importance of sound and listening have been greatly overlooked in Latin American history.

The contributors examine the importance of sound in the purveyance of power, gender roles, race, community, religion, and populism. They also demonstrate how sound is essential to the formation of citizenship and nationalism....

On the Move: The Caribbean Since 1989
ISBN: 9781842777671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Caribbean stands out in the popular imagination as a 'place without history', a place which has somehow eluded modernity. Haiti is envisioned as being trapped in an endless cycle of violence and instability, Cuba as a 1950s time warp, Jamaicans as ganja-smoking Rastafarians, while numerous pristine, anonymous islands are simply peaceful idylls. The notion of 'getting away from it all' lures countless visitors, offering the possibility of total disconnect for the world-weary.
In On the Move Alejandra Bronfman argues that in fact the opposite is true; the Caribbean is, and has always... The Caribbean stands out in the popular imagination as a 'place without history', a place which has somehow eluded modernity. Haiti is envisioned as b...

Measures of Equality: Social Science, Citizenship, and Race in Cuba, 1902-1940
ISBN: 9780807855638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the years following Cuba's independence, nationalists aimed to transcend racial categories in order to create a unified polity, yet racial and cultural heterogeneity posed continual challenges to these liberal notions of citizenship. Alejandra Bronfman traces the formation of Cuba's multiracial legal and political order in the early Republic by exploring the responses of social scientists, such as Fernando Ortiz and Israel Castellanos, and black and mulatto activists, including Gustavo Urrutia and Nicolas Guillen, to the paradoxes of modern nationhood.
