Idea of the Middle Class
Examines the origins, lifestyles, and influence of the middle class in Peru during the first half of the 20th century. In their pursuit of protective legislation, higher pay, and better working conditions, white-collar workers, or empleados, recast long-standing cultural notions of rank and respectability. Their ideas inspired a series of legal reforms reinforcing the distinction between manual and nonmanual workers that became a permanent feature of Peruvian labor law and practice. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Tras las huellas de un crítico
"El compilador de este libro comenta los artículos críticos, entrevistas a escritores y reseñas de libros publicados por Vargas Llosa en diarios de Perú y España desde 1954 hasta 1959. El libro nos permite conocer las ideas, gustos y prejuicios en la etapa de formación del prestigioso novelista peruano"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
A History of Afro-Hispanic Language
The African slave trade, beginning in the fifteenth century, brought African languages into contact with Spanish and Portuguese, resulting in the Africans' gradual acquisition of these languages. In this 2004 book, John Lipski describes the major forms of Afro-Hispanic language found in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America over the last 500 years. As well as discussing pronunciation, morphology and syntax, he separates legitimate forms of Afro-Hispanic expression from those that result from racist stereotyping, to assess how contact with the African diaspora has had a permanent impact on contemporary Spanish. A principal issue is the possibility that Spanish, in contact with speakers of African languages, may have creolized and restructured - in the Caribbean and perhaps elsewhere - permanently affecting regional and social varieties of Spanish today. The book is accompanied by the largest known anthology of primary Afro-Hispanic texts from Iberia, Latin America, and former Afro-Hispanic contacts in Africa and Asia.
