W wielu krajach kontynentu szczególnie boleśnie doświadczonego panowaniem dyktatur i neoliberalizmu do władzy dochodzą siły lewicowe. Efektem ich rządów jest bezprecedensowe zmniejszanie się biedy, nierówności i zadłużenia, uniezależnianie się od wpływów Waszyngtonu, a także wejście na scenę polityczną ludności rdzennej i klas ludowych, które dotąd były na niej niemal nieobecne.

Articulating Rapa Nui: Polynesian Cultural Politics in a Latin American Nation-State
ISBN: 9780824851682 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this groundbreaking study, Riet Delsing narrates the colonization of the Pacific island of Rapa Nui and its indigenous inhabitants. The annexation of the island by Chile, in the heydays of world imperialism, places the small Latin American country in a unique position in the history of global colonialism. The analysis of this ongoing colonization process constitutes a "missing link" in Pacific Islands studies and facilitates future comparisons with other colonial adventures in the Pacific by the United States (Hawai'i, American Samoa), France (Tahiti), and New Zealand (Maori and Cook...

Colonial Habits: Convents and the Spiritual Economy of Cuzco, Peru
ISBN: 9780822322597 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Colonial Habits Kathryn Burns transforms our view of nuns as marginal recluses, making them central actors on the colonial stage. Beginning with the 1558 founding of South America s first convent, Burns shows that nuns in Cuzco played a vital part in subjugating Incas, creating a creole elite, and reproducing an Andean colonial order in which economic and spiritual interests were inextricably fused.
Based on unprecedented archival research, Colonial Habits demonstrates how nuns became leading guarantors of their city s social order by making loans, managing property,...

Bordering all but two of South America s other nations and by far Latin America s largest country, Brazil differs linguistically, historically, and culturally from Spanish America.

Capturing the scope of this country s rich diversity and distinction as no other book has done with more than a hundred entries from a wealth of perspectives "The Brazil Reader" offers a...

Dulcinea in the Factory: Myths, Morals, Men, and Women in Colombia's Industrial Experiment, 1905-1960
ISBN: 9780822324973 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Before it became the center of Latin American drug trafficking, the Colombian city of Medellin was famous as a success story of industrialization, a place where protectionist tariffs had created a capitalist paradise. By the 1960s, the city s textile industrialists were presenting themselves as the architects of a social stability that rested on Catholic piety and strict sexual norms. Dulcinea in the Factory explores the boundaries of this paternalistic order by investigating workers strategies of conformity and resistance and by tracing the disciplinary practices of managers during...

The Mapmaker's Wife: A True Tale of Love, Murder, and Survival in the Amazon
ISBN: 9780465057948 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the early years of the 18th century, a band of French scientists set off on a daring, decade-long expedition to South America in a race to measure the precise shape of the earth. Like Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West, their incredible mission revealed the mysteries of a little-known continent to a world hungry for discovery. Scaling 16,000foot mountains in the Peruvian Andes, and braving jaguars, pumas, insects, and vampire bats in the jungle, the scientists barely completed their mission. One was murdered, another perished from fever, and a third-Jean Godin-nearly died...

Poetic & Real Worlds of Cesar Vallejo (18921938) : A Struggle Between Art & Politics
ISBN: 9781845197421 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The world-renowned Peruvian poet Cesar Vallejo (1892-1938) was also a journalist, essayist, novelist and would-be dramatist. The study of his life and work reveals problems stemming from the fact that half of his writing was published posthumously under editorship of doubtful accuracy. The matter is further complicated in that his non-poetic work has been neglected in favour of his verse. The Poetic and Real Worlds of Cesar Vallejo (1892-1938) reviews the evidence-literary and historical-and assesses the often conflicting body of opinion his work has generated. Three essential questions are...

Legacies of State Violence and Transitional Justice in Latin America: A Janus-Faced Paradigm?
ISBN: 9781498513852 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Legacies of State Violence and Transitional Justice in Latin America presents a nuanced and evidence-based discussion of both the acceptance and co-optation of the transitional justice framework and its potential abuses in the context of the struggle to keep the memory of the past alive and hold perpetrators accountable within Latin America and beyond. The contributors argue that "transitional justice"--understood as both a conceptual framework shaping discourses and a set of political practices--is a Janus-faced paradigm. Historically it has not always advanced but often hindered attempts to...

Nearly half of all countries emerging from civil conflict relapse into war within a few years of signing a peace agreement. The postwar trajectories of armed groups vary from organizational cohesion to dissolution, demilitarization to remilitarization. In Organized Violence after Civil War, Daly analyzes evidence from thirty-seven militia groups in Colombia, demonstrating that the primary driving force behind these changes is the variation in recruitment patterns within, and between, the warring groups. She documents the transition from war to peace through interviews with militia commanders,...

An Archaeology of Ancash is a well illustrated synthesis of the archaeology of North Central Peru, and specifically the stone structures of the Ancash region. All the major cultures of highland Ancash built impressive monuments, with no other region of South America showing such an early and continuous commitment to stone carving.
