Evaristo Sourdis. Un hombre y una época
Evaristo Sourdis Juliao (1905-1970) fue una de las personalidades más influyentes de Colombia a mediados del siglo XX. Natural de Sabanalarga (Atlántico), inició su periplo político como diputado del departamento antes de cumplir treinta años. En poco tiempo dio el salto a la política nacional, siendo representante a la Cámara, senador, embajador ante las Naciones Unidas en tres ocasiones, ministro del Trabajo, ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, contralor general y candidato presidencial, en esta biografía, la historiadora Adelaida Sourdis retrata tanto el carácter como el trabajo de su padre, al tiempo que traza un mapa histórico del país y sus constantes tensiones políticas.
Culture and Art of Immigrants in the Atlantic in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
This book presents research on immigrants in South America and Caribbean Colombia and their relationship with the birth and development of the city of Barranquilla. As such, it explores elements that make evident customs and cultural beliefs that have influenced behavior in these regions. It discusses how these practices are reflected in the characteristics of housing, art, and cultural exhibitions, among others. Most societies in these areas have flourished in an uneven and often unequal manner. However, this book will serve to reconcile such cultural groups and create bonds of shared responsibility.
From Capture to Sale
From Capture to Sale illuminates the experience of African slaves transported to Spanish America by the Portuguese in the early seventeenth century. It draws on exceptionally rich accounts of one of the most prominent slave traders, Manuel Bautista Pérez. These papers cover the whole journey of the slaves from Africa, through Colombia and Panama to their final sale in Peru. The prime focus of the study is on the diet, health and medical care of the slaves. It will not only be of interest to scholars of the slave trade, but also to those interested in the impact of the Columbian Exchange on diets, medicine and medical practice in the early modern period. The book is well illustrated and contains over thirty tables and seven appendices. From Capture to Sale has been selected by Choice as Outstanding Academic Title (2007).
Political Cultures in the Andes, 1750-1950
A major contribution to debates about Latin American state formation, Political Cultures in the Andes brings together comparative historical studies focused on Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru from the mid-eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth. While highlighting patterns of political discourse and practice common to the entire region, these state-of-the-art histories show how national and local political cultures depended on specific constellations of power, gender and racial orders, processes of identity formation, and socioeconomic and institutional structures. The contributors foreground the struggles over democracy and citizens’ rights as well as notions of race, ethnicity, gend...

Jewish Literatures in Spanish and Portuguese
This volume offers a thorough introduction to Jewish world literatures in Spanish and Portuguese, which not only addresses the coexistence of cultures, but also the functions of a literary and linguistic space of negotiation in this context. From the Middle Ages to present day, the compendium explores the main Jewish chapters within Spanish- and Portuguese-language world literature, whether from Europe, Latin America, or other parts of the world. No comprehensive survey of this area has been undertaken so far. Yet only a broad focus of this kind can show how diasporic Jewish literatures have been (and are ) – while closely tied to their own traditions – deeply intertwined with local and global literary developments; and how the aesthetic praxis they introduced played a decisive, formative role in the history of literature. With this epistemic claim, the volume aims at steering clear of isolationist approaches to Jewish literatures.
