Arte y oficio del director teatral en America Latina: Bolivia, Brasil y Ecuador
Arte y oficio del director teatral en América Latina es un proyecto continental cuyo objetivo es llenar un vacío en los estudios teatrales; en efecto, el proyecto, publicado en seis tomos, quiere entrevistar a directores de la región (incluyendo directores latinoamericanos en los Estados Unidos) para conocer sobre sus metodologías de trabajo, desde la selección del texto hasta la recepción de la crítica, pasando por todas las instancias de producción, especialmente aquéllas concernientes al ensayo teatral, la selección del elenco, métodos de actuación, la relación con los productores (oficiales, privados, sistemas de financiamiento, etc.). Las entrevistas dejan entrever una compleja trama de cuestiones económicas, sociales, artísticas y culturales que circunscriben las prácticas teatrales contemporáneas en América Latina. Vol.1: México y Perú; Vol.2: Argentina, Chile, Paraguay y Uruguay; Vol. 3: Colombia y Venezuela; Vol. 4: Bolivia, Brasil y Ecuador; Vol. 5: Centroamérica y Estados Unidos y Vol. 6: Caribe
Strangers Within
A comprehensive study of the New Christian elite of Jewish origin—prominent traders, merchants, bankers and men of letters—between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries In Strangers Within, Francisco Bethencourt provides the first comprehensive history of New Christians, the descendants of Jews forced to convert to Catholicism in late medieval Spain and Portugal. Bethencourt estimates that there were around 260,000 New Christians by 1500—more than half of Iberia’s urban population. The majority stayed in Iberia but a significant number moved throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East, coastal Asia and the New World. They established Sephardic communities in North Africa, the Ottoman...
Venezuela
A critical look at the Chavez regime from a leftist Venezuelan perspective, this account debunks claims made by Venezuelan and U.S. rightists that the regime is antidemocratic and dictatorial. Instead, the book argues that the Chavez government is one of a long line of Latin American populist organizations that have been ultimately subservient to the United States as well as multinational corporations. Explaining how autonomous Venezuelan social, labor, and environmental movements have been systematically disempowered by the Chavez regime, this analysis contends that these movements are the basis of a truly democratic, revolutionary alternative.
Peopling for Profit in Imperial Brazil
Peopling for Profit provides a comprehensive history of migration to nineteenth-century imperial Brazil. Rather than focus on Brazilian slavery or the mass immigration of the end of the century, José Juan Pérez Meléndez examines the orchestrated efforts of migrant recruitment, transport to, and settlement in post-independence Brazil. The book explores Brazil's connections to global colonization drives and migratory movements, unveiling how the Brazilian Empire's engagement with privately run colonization models from overseas crucially informed the domestic sphere. It further reveals that the rise of a for-profit colonization model indelibly shaped Brazilian peopling processes and governance by creating a feedback loop between migration management and government formation. Pérez Meléndez sheds new light on how directed migrations and the business of colonization shaped Brazilian demography as well as enduring social, racial, and class inequalities.

Superman
After debuting in 1938, Superman soon became an American icon. But why has he maintained his iconic status for nearly 80 years? And how can he still be an American icon when the country itself has undergone so much change? Superman: Persistence of an American Icon examines the many iterations of the character in comic books, comic strips, radio series, movie serials, feature films, television shows, animation, toys, and collectibles over the past eight decades. Demonstrating how Superman’s iconic popularity cannot be attributed to any single creator or text, comics expert Ian Gordon embarks on a deeper consideration of cultural mythmaking as a collective and dynamic process. He also outlin...
Women, Culture, and Politics in Latin America
“This collection, because of its exceptional theoretical coherence and sophistication, is qualitatively superior to the most frequently consulted anthologies on Latin American women’s history and literature . . . [and] represents a new, more theoretically rigorous stage in the feminist debate on Latin American women.”—Elizabeth Garrels, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
