English, Irish and Irish-American Pioneer Settlers in Nineteenth-Century Brazil
ISBN: 9780954407049 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Brazil is not usually associated with British agricultural immigrants, but in the late 1860s and early 1870s great efforts were made to stimulate interest in the country. An idealized image of Brazil was created to help persuade dissatisfied Irish and English to pack up and join settlement schemes in a country that they had previously known nothing about. This book offers a vivid picture of this migration process and new insights into linkages between Ireland, England, the United States and Brazil. Focusing on the lives of individual immigrants, this is one of the most detailed studies of...

Jose Marti, Cuban national hero, was one of Latin America's most influential litereary and political figures. There is currently no introductory overview to his complex body of works.

History of Political Parties in Twentieth-Century Latin America
ISBN: 9781412805100 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The general perception of modern Latin American political institutions emphasizes a continuing and random process of disorder and crisis, continually out of step with other regions in their progress toward democracy and prosperity. In History of Political Parties in Twentieth-Century Latin America, Torcuato S. Di Tella demonstrates that this common view lacks context and comparative nuance, and is deeply misleading. Looking behind the scenes of modern Latin American history, he discerns its broad patterns through close analysis of actual events and comparative sociological...

Caminemos con Jesus: Toward a Hispanic/Latino Theology of Accompaniment
ISBN: 9781570750342 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While the growth in both numbers and influence of Hispanics in North American Catholicism and Protestantism has been commented on widely, up until now there has been no systematic attempt to define a Hispanic theology. Roberto Goizueta, a Cuban-American theologian, aware that "Hispanic" and "Latino" can be terms imposed artificially on diverse peoples, finds a common link in the Spanish language and in a shared culture. Central to this culture is the experience of exile, of being a people at the margins of a society, who must find and make their way together. Central also is faith, and its...

Nuestros Aqos Diez. La Asociacion Pro-Indigena, El Levantamiento de Rumi Maqui y El Incaismo Modernista
ISBN: 9781597541015 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nuestros anos diez trata sobre el indigenismo, los levantamientos indigenas y el incaismo modernista en el Peru de la decada de 1910. Este libro estudia uno de los mas intensos periodos de la historia del Peru. Pero deliberadamente focaliza en el aspecto indigena de la cuestion. Por eso, se centra en la accion de la Asociacion Pro-Indigena, el levantamiento de Rumi Maqui y el impulso del incaismo modernista, y no se detiene en otros puntos que ya han sido prolijamente estudiados. Ademas, aunque destaca el rol cumplido por Pedro S. Zulen, Teodomiro Gutierrez Cuevas y Abraham Valdelomar,...

Los '90 (Otro Traspie De Luz Del Dia En Latinoamerica Atrapada Entre El Principe Y El Principito)
ISBN: 9789871136087 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The '90s have proved a frustrating experience for Latin America. More so to those who consider Liberalism to be the fairest political system. After a seemingly positive start, a series of unclear administrative practices ensued, plagued by lack of control and a steep growth of government expenditure, most for corrupt and clientelistic reasons. This situation -of high expectations about a Truth victory frustrated by political manouvers- immediately recalls Juan Bautista Alberdi's book "Peregrinacion de Luz el Dia, o Viajes y aventuras de la Verdad en el Nuevo Mundo"*. As a sharp publicist...

Freaks in Late Modernist American Culture: Nathanael West, Djuna Barnes, Tod Browning, and Carson McCullers
ISBN: 9780820478326 / Angielski / Twarda / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Freaks in Late Modernist American Culture explores the emergence of what Nancy Bombaci terms -late modernist freakish aesthetics- a creative fusion of -high- and -low- themes and forms in relation to distorted bodies. Literary and cinematic texts about -freaks- by Nathanael West, Djuna Barnes, Tod Browning, and Carson McCullers subvert and reinvent modern progress narratives in order to challenge high modernist literary and social ideologies. These works are marked by an acceptance of the disteleology, anarchy, and degeneration that racist discourses of the late nineteenth and early...
