Social Sciences
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology
Raíces de una nación marcada por la desigualdad
"Llegaron entonces los movimientos revolucionarios independentistas y con ello la conformación de la República de Colombia durante el siglo XIX, una centuria turbulenta, precaria y experimental. En un territorio inmenso, en gran parte baldío, con intereses de apropiación y concentración de tierras en pocas manos, pero peor: con la ausencia de una nación y una verdadera modernidad. A los republicanos letrados, políticos, militares, eclesiásticos y comerciantes, poco o nada les interesaba contribuir a solucionar el déficit fiscal heredado de la corona española, por lo que la naciente república vio en el endeudamiento interno y externo la solución pírrica a sus males. Gómez Jimén...

Latin American Societies in Transition
This is an examination of the social structures that shape Latin American societies. Knowledge of demography, rural and urban life, and ethnic and status relationships is critical for understanding the political and economic fabric of those societies. Although the author draws on materials from all the social sciences, the primary frame of reference is sociological. The book presents, in an organized form, the findings from an ever-growing number of studies about Latin American society. The book proceeds from a brief introduction of the political and economic patterns of Latin America to an examination of the country as a social system. The focus of the text is an analysis of social processe...
Popular Voices in Latin American Catholicism
Throughout Latin America, observers and activists have found in religion a promise of deep and long-lasting democratization. But for religion to change culture and politics, religion itself must change. Such change is not only a matter of doctrine, ritual, or institutional arrangements but also arises out of the needs, values, and ideas of average believers. Combining rich interviews and community studies in Venezuela and Colombia with analysis of broad ideological and institutional transformations, Daniel Levine examines how religious and cultural change begins and what gives it substance and lasting impact. The author focuses on the creation of self-confident popular groups among hitherto ...
Teoría y política del desarrollo humano sostenible
Uno de los problemas más estudiados en economía es cómo alcanzar altos niveles de bienestar para la población en un contexto de recursos escasos. A diferencia de las teorías clásicas sobre crecimiento y desarrollo, las teorías neoclásicas plantearon como solución el logro de altas tasas de crecimiento de la producción y los ingresos como condición necesaria para alcanzar el bienestar social, en una línea de causalidad en la cual el crecimiento económico es el determinante fundamental del progreso social de los pueblos. La teoría tradicional postula que un prerrequisito para el logro de niveles más altos de bienestar es la acumulación de capital físico para alcanzar mayores niveles de crecimiento económico. En el largo plazo este crecimiento se debe reflejar en mayor bienestar social para toda la población.
El capitalismo tardío y periférico en tres tiempos
En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar el decurso de la formación y desarrollo de la economía colombiana, partiendo desde la herencia colonial hasta nuestros días, tomando como referencia los hitos más importantes a destacar durante los doscientos años que han transcurrido desde que Colombia empezó su vida independiente. El siglo XIX se caracterizó por la inestabilidad política e institucional, el país estuvo sacudido por los recurrentes alzamientos y confrontación armada, que imposibilitaron un mayor progreso económico y social. El café y el río grande de La Magdalena fueron los grandes protagonistas en esta etapa, en la que no se contó con un mercado interno integrado sino s...
