Latin American Classical Composers
Building on the strengths of the first edition, the second edition of Latin American Classical Composers: A Biographical Dictionary presents expanded and updated coverage of its topic with an aim to be comprehensive. The authors have conducted exhaustive research to fill in gaps and correct minor errors in the first edition, adding young composers and documenting deaths since 1996, when the first edition appeared. Hundreds of composers are represented in this volume, which presents biographical data, including dates of birth and death, personal information about composers' background and training, and a selective listing of each composer's works. Sources for further study are noted within each entry. An index of composers by country rounds out this work.
Handbook of Latin American Studies

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.
