Latin American Classical Composers
Now in its third edition, Latin American Classical Composers: A Biographical Dictionary provides a singular English-language resource for biographical information on hundreds of composers from Central and South America and the Hispanic Caribbean. Painstakingly gathered from a wide variety of sources, the information updates and expands previous editions and fills in the gaps left by the other major English-language music dictionaries and encyclopedias. Entries provide biographical data comprising full names, birth and death dates and locations, background, education, and training, as well as selective works lists more than 2,300 composers. An index of composers by country and women composers of Latin America complement the volume. An essential part of any music library, Latin American Classical Composers is an invaluable reference for librarians, musicologists, ethnomusicologists, researchers, and music students.

Tentative Transgressions
Starting at the beginning of the twentieth century, Albuquerque examines the way the Modernist movement both fueled and inhibited the use of gay imagery in Brazilian drama. This elegant and fluid study ultimately becomes an examination of a whole Latin society, and the ways in which Latin theatre has absorbed and reflected the culture's own changing sensibilities, that will intrigue anyone interested in Latin American culture, literature, or theater. Winner, 2008 Elizabeth A. Steinberg Prize

O rasga
Investigador incansável da cultura popular, Tinhorão apresenta neste livro o mais recente fruto de suas pesquisas: o rasga, gênero de canto e dança surgido entre os negros de Lisboa e até aqui ignorado pelos estudiosos da música. Em um esforço quase arqueológico, o autor reconstituiu a trajetória do gênero desde seu surgimento, no século XIX, até registros mais recentes, que podem ser ouvidos no CD que acompanha o volume.
