Romantic Drama
It does not treat Romanticism as a limited "period" dominated by some construed singular master-ethos or dialectic; rather, it follows the literary patterns and dynamics of Romanticism as a flow of interactive currents across geocultural frontiers
Institutions, Globalisation and Empowerment
Examining aspects of social and economic institutions, and exploring their operation as a result of globalisation, this book approaches the issue of globalisation from a perspective of how the forces of globalisation are transforming domestic, social and economic institutions to create greater opportunities for empowerment in individual countries.
Guns, Drugs, and Development in Colombia
For decades, Colombia has contended with a variety of highly publicized conflicts, including the rise of paramilitary groups in response to rebel insurgencies of the 1960s, the expansion of an illegal drug industry that has permeated politics and society since the 1970s, and a faltering economy in the 1990s. An unprecedented analysis of these struggles, Guns, Drugs, and Development in Colombia brings together leading scholars from a variety of fields, blending previously unseen quantitative data with historical analysis for an impressively comprehensive assessment. Culminating in an inspiring plan for peace, based on Four Cornerstones of Pacification, this landmark work is sure to spur new calls for change in this corner of Latin America and beyond.
Santa Bárbara de Las Cabezas
Santa Bárbara de Las Cabezas, ubicada al sur de lo que hoy es el departamento del Cesar, fue la mayor hacienda ganadera en toda la región, tanto por extensión como por el número de reses que albergaba. Por más de dos siglos perteneció a los descendientes de una misma familia y durante ese tiempo fue impactada por los grandes hitos históricos y económicos de la región, tales como la Independencia, el auge exportador a Panamá y las islas del Caribe a comienzos del siglo XX, las tomas de tierras por los campesinos a partir de la década de 1970 y la fuerte presencia de la guerrilla en las zonas rurales desde la década de 1980. Este libro reconstruye el pasado de esta importante hacienda ganadera y explica las razones por las que debe ocupar un lugar central en la historiografía del Caribe colombiano.
Maya and Spaniard in Yucatan, 1648-1812
A study of the development of human society in Yucatan during the colonial period, this book poses a challenge to a variety of accepted views, including the notion that Yucatan was largely isolated from the main part of Spain's New World empire and thus from international markets and the world economy - an isolation often cited as the principal reason for the extended survival of indigenous culture in the region. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Yucatan society was composed of both Maya and Spanish commonwealths, each with its own economic, social, and political organization. This book represents several new departures, both for what is known about colonial Yucatan and for colonial Latin American history in general. It forces the reader to rethink much of the received knowledge about acculturation, the hacienda, and inter-regional relations.
Liberty and Equality in Caribbean Colombia, 1770-1835
After Brazil and the United States, Colombia has the third-largest population of African-descended peoples in the Western hemisphere. Yet the country is commonly viewed as a nation of Andeans, whites, and mestizos (peoples of mixed Spanish and indigenous Indian ancestry). Aline Helg examines the historical roots of Colombia's treatment and neglect of its Afro-Caribbean identity within the comparative perspective of the Americas. Concentrating on the Caribbean region, she explores the role of free and enslaved peoples of full and mixed African ancestry, elite whites, and Indians in the late colonial period and in the processes of independence and early nation building. Why did race not become...
