Heavy Metal Music in Latin America
In Heavy Metal Music in Latin America: Perspectives from the Distorted South, the editors bring together scholars engaged in the study of heavy metal music in Latin America to reflect on the heavy metal genre from a regional perspective. The contributors’ southern voices diversify metal scholarship in the global north. An extreme musical genre for an extreme region, the contributors explore how issues like colonialism, dictatorships, violence, ethnic extermination and political persecution have shaped heavy metal music in Latin America, and how music has helped shape Latin American culture and politics.
The Mexico Reader
The Mexico Reader is a vivid introduction to muchos Méxicos—the many Mexicos, or the many varied histories and cultures that comprise contemporary Mexico. Unparalleled in scope and written for the traveler, student, and expert alike, the collection offers a comprehensive guide to the history and culture of Mexico—including its difficult, uneven modernization; the ways the country has been profoundly shaped not only by Mexicans but also by those outside its borders; and the extraordinary economic, political, and ideological power of the Roman Catholic Church. The book looks at what underlies the chronic instability, violence, and economic turmoil that have characterized periods of Mexico...
The Reptant Eagle

Urban Elite Culture
Medieval towns were vibrant and complex social environments where diverse groups and lifestyles encountered and influenced each other. Surprisingly, in the study of urban archaeology, the aristocracy, one of the leading and most influential groups in medieval society, has so far been neglected. This book puts "aristocracy in towns" on the archaeological research agenda. The interdisciplinary and comparative study explores the significance and representation of aristocrats and their interaction with civic elites in sea-trading towns of the southwestern Baltic from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Essentially, however, the analysis of urban elite culture leads to discussion of a much more fundamental issue: the informative value of material culture for the investigation of social conditions. The book provides new archaeological approaches to the study of social differentiation in towns, and contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexity of urban social structures.
Qué pasa por la calle
Este libro es una ventana que devela momentos únicos en la escena del rock latinoamericano; encuentros de primera mano que apelan al insaciable espíritu nómada de su autor y su travesía hacia recónditos rincones del planeta en busca de sonidos únicos y sus excéntricos responsables. Las historias reunidas en estas páginas repasan distintos pasajes de una trayectoria de más de treinta años dedicada a crear textos a partir de la observación, escucha e investigación de canciones, discografías y conciertos. Las crónicas de Enrique Blanc desafían los prejuicios y revelan la influencia de las conexiones personales en la apreciación de la música. Transparentan una indomable melomanía y destacan el poder universal de la música como un puente que conecta cómplices incondicionales en el camino.

Flashback
Este libro es una antología de textos que he publicado en distintos diarios y revistas a lo largo de más de dos décadas en lasque he estado dedicado al periodismo musical, entre 1989 y 2012. A su vez, puede ser considerado un espejo fiel de mis gustos predilectos en lo que a música respecta, una colección de los músicos, discos y conciertos que más han influido en mi vida y en mi quehacer, elaborado a través de una selección rigurosa e inevitablemente acicateada por el sentimiento.
