Love and Despair
Love and Despair explores the multiple and mostly unknown ways progressive and conservative Catholic actors, such as priests, lay activists, journalists, intellectuals, and filmmakers, responded to the significant social and cultural shifts that formed competing notions of modernity in Cold War Mexico. Jaime M. Pensado demonstrates how the Catholic Church as a heterogeneous institution—with key transnational networks in Latin America and Western Europe—was invested in youth activism, state repression, and the counterculture from the postwar period to the more radical Sixties. Similar to their secular counterparts, progressive Catholics often saw themselves as revolutionary actors and nearly always framed their activism as an act of love. When their movements were repressed and their ideas were co-opted, marginalized, and commercialized at the end of the Sixties, the liberating hope of love often turned into a sense of despair.
Justice through Transitions
What does justice mean in times of transition? What kinds of possibilities and dissapointments emerge from processes of seeking justice through transition? How might we understand these processes through narrative? In August 2015, a group of Global South human rights activists and researchers gathered in Colombia for a workshop organized around the theme of transitional justice. This book, the third in a series, is the result of the discussions performed in that encounter. The chapters in this volume illustrate many complexities of transitional justice processes from the perspective of young human rights advocates involved in these struggles, many with their own complicated personal connecti...
Latin American Military and Politics in the Twenty-first Century
This volume offers a comparative analysis of the role of the military in Latin America in domestic politics and governance after 2000. Divided into four parts covering the entirety of Latin America, the book argues that the Latin American military as semi-autonomous political actors have not faded away since 2000 and may even have been making a comeback in various countries. Each part outlines scenarios which effectively frame the various pathways taken to post-military democratic society. Part 1 critically examines textbook cases of political demilitarization in the Southern Cone, Peru, and Costa Rica. Part 2 contrasts the role of the military in the post-2000 politics of two regional power...
Black and Indigenous Resistance in the Americas
Black and Indigenous Resistance in the Americas is an essential roadmap to understanding contemporary racial politics across the Americas, where openly white supremacist politics are on the rise. It is the product of a multiyear, transnational research project by the Anti-racist Research and Action Network of the Americas in collaboration with resistance movements confronting racial retrenchment in Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States. How did we get here? And what anti-racist strategies are equal to the dire task of confronting resurgent racism? This volume provides powerful answers to these pressing questions. 1) It traces the making and contestation o...
The New Public Art
"In this edited volume, Polgovsky Ezcurra and her contributors look at the rise in the creation of community-focused art projects, from public cinema, to off-stage dance and theatre, and to the creation of anti-monuments that have redefined what public art is and how people have engaged with it within Mexico City in particular, as well as other regions of Mexico, since the 1980s. With a mixture of in-depth studies and artist dossiers, the manuscript is organized into five main sections: Historical Return, Infra-Political Art, the Infrastructures of Commoning, Forensic Publics, and Grassroots Memorials and Distributed Publics"--
Periodismo para la historia
«El único sustantivo para definir a Julio es el de reportero. Como reportero vive, como reportero trabaja tiempo completo, como reportero hace y pierde amigos... Pocos reporteros son, en México, tan reporteros como este Julio Scherer de corazón abierto a la curiosidad. Ésa es su gran virtud, su cualidad sobresaliente, que tantos quisieran tranquilizarlo, aquietarlo, detenerlo: "Ya, don Julio, por favor, no pregunte más, no averigüe, no insista, no quiera saber lo que no se puede decir".» - Vicente Leñero Hay consenso entreperiodistas, académicos y lectores en reconocer a Julio Scherer García como el mejor periodista mexicano de la segunda mitad del siglo xx. Su fama se debió al d...

Los marxistas liberales
Lucha antifascista y cultura comunista en la Argentina del siglo XX. ¿Un marxismo liberal? Sí, en la historia política argentina del siglo XX se advierte ese vínculo evidente que faltaba explicar: por qué en la esfera cultural del Partido Comunista Argentino, fue un marxismo de corte liberal y no otro el que imprimió por largo tiempo el sello distintivo en las imaginaciones políticas de sus intelectuales y militantes. Ricardo Pasolini analiza el itinerario de una generación que arribó al campo de la cultura en el momento en que en el mundo se organizaba la lucha contra el fascismo. El autor demuestra que la acción política y cultural de los intelectuales comunistas en el largo plazo se halla fuertemente condicionada por el impacto que tendrá en ellos el "momento antifascista de la cultura argentina". Una tesis que responde a una pregunta histórica muy presente en términos morales en las diferentes familias políticas argentinas: ¿por qué los comunistas se colocaron en el campo político del antiperonismo?
