Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 76
Beginning with Number 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 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 underway in specialized areas.
The Politics of Race in Panama
"Delves into the historical convergence of peoples and cultural traditions that both enrich and problematize notions of national belonging, identity, culture, and citizenship."--Antonio D. Tillis, editor of Critical Perspectives on Afro-Latin American Literature "With rich detail and theoretical complexity, Watson reinterprets Panamanian literature, dismantling longstanding nationalist interpretations and linking the country to the Black Atlantic and beyond. An engaging and important contribution to our understanding of Afro-Latin America."--Peter Szok, author of Wolf Tracks: Popular Art and Re-Africanization in Twentieth-Century Panama "Illuminates the deeper discourse of African-descendant...
The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel
The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of Cés...
Public Pages
Public reading programs are flourishing in many Latin American cities in the new millennium. They defy the conception of reading as solitary and private by literally taking literature to the streets to create new communities of readers. From institutional and official to informal and spontaneous, the reading programs all use public space, distribute creative writing to a mass public, foster collective rather than individual reading, and provide access to literature in unconventional arenas. The first international study of contemporary print culture in the Americas, Public Pages reveals how recent cultural policy and collective literary reading intervene in public space to promote social int...
The Future is Not Ours
An exciting anthology which brings together 23 Latin American writers who were born between 1970 and 1980. Introducing a range of writers who were born in the time of military dictatorships, witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War, the murders of Ciudad Jurarez, the birth of the internet and the terrorist attacks in New York.
The Politics of Race in Panama
Black Panamanians, unlike other Aftro-Latin communities, have traditionally separated themselves based on ancestral heritage: on one hand are those whose ancestors were slaves during the colonial period; on the other are those whose families arrived from the West Indies to help build the Panama Railroad and Canal. In this book, Watson assesses how Panamanian literature represents this historical and continuing tension.
Yo, Claudio
Claudia y Claudio se conocen viendo películas de aliens. Entre boliches de media noche, películas raras y maltas con huevo, secretamente, ambos personajes se enamoran mientras recorren el centro de la ciudad. Pero Claudio intuye que Claudia guarda un triste secreto. La prosa de Alejandra Costamagna está llena de humor y momentos tristes. Llena de silencios también, generando así atmósferas llenas de intimidad entre sus personajes. Un Patagonia Singles.
El insomnio de Bolívar
Una inteligente reflexión sobre el presente y el futuro de América Latina, ganadora del II Premio Debate-Casa de América. «Fue en España, para ser más preciso en Salamanca, apabullado por las centenarias piedras de Villamayor, frente a las severas estatuas de fray Luis de León y Unamuno, o al menos ante sus nombres inscritos en camisetas, afiches y llaveros, donde descubrí que yo era latinoamericano. Acababa de cumplir veintiocho años y hasta entonces había vivido en México, donde jamás fui consciente de esta condición y donde nunca tuve la fortuna o la desgracia de toparme con alguien que se proclamase miembro de esta especie.» Así arranca Jorge Volpi este deslumbrante recorr...
