Editor's Dilemma
None
Independientes, ¿de qué?
Independientes ¿de qué? funciona como un decálogo breve de los obstáculos más comunes a los que una editorial independiente se enfrenta en sus inicios y, con base en la experiencia de editores independientes de diversas latitudes, propone soluciones a éstos para fungir como apoyo y fomento a proyectos editoriales de nuevos editores latinoamericanos.
Visible Dissent
"Highlighting the importance of reading and re-reading the Latin American canon in the United States, Longo finds that literature can be an instrument of progressive social change, and argues that small literary presses--City Lights, Curbstone, and Seven Stories--have made that dissent visible in the United States. Locating the work of artists and writers alongside that of scholars and legal advocates, Visible Dissent not only unveils the staying power of committed writing, it honors the cross-currents and the on-the-ground implications of humane political engagement."--Page [4] of cover.
Bibliodiversity
In a globalized world, megacorp publishing is all about numbers, sameness and following the formula of the latest megasuccess. Each book is expected to pay for itself and all the externalities of publishing. It means books that take off slowly but have long lives, books that change social norms, are less likely to be published. Encapsulated in the term bibliodiversity, coined by Chilean publishers in the 1990s, independent publishers are envisioning a different way. Susan Hawthorne provides a scathing critique of the global publishing industry, set against a visionary proposal for “organic” publishing. She looks at free speech and fair speech, at the environmental costs of mainstream publishing and at the promises and the challenges of the move to digital.
