Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music
Lloyd’s Register of Yachts 1966
The Lloyd’s Register of Yachts was first issued in 1878, and was issued annually until 1980, except during the years 1916-18 and 1940-46. Two supplements containing additions and corrections were also issued annually. The Register contains the names, details and characters of Yachts classed by the Society, together with the particulars of other Yachts which are considered to be of interest, illustrates plates of the Flags of Yacht and Sailing Clubs, together with a List of Club Officers, an illustrated List of the Distinguishing Flags of Yachtsmen, a List of the Names and Addresses of Yacht Owners, and much other information.

Imitation and Politics
Following World War II, a poorly funded, piecemeal effort to transfer British and American institutions into West Germany resulted in many positive changes for that nation's citizens. After reunification, however, a more ambitious, well-funded, and systematic effort to establish West German institutions in the former GDR has been less effective. Through a close analysis of these two cases, Wade Jacoby explores the conditions under which one society can serve as a model for the reshaping of another. In the initial transfer, Jacoby finds, Allied occupying forces sought to build institutions in Germany that were the functional equivalents of ones they valued at home. They encouraged the develop...

Stereotypen, Vorurteile, Völkerbilder in Ost und West, in Wissenschaft und Unterricht

Dasselbe gilt fur den dritten Band betreffend die Jahre 1992-2005. Bisherige soziale, wirtschaftliche, staatliche, kulturelle und historisch begrundete Identitaten, Eigenbilder, Fremdbilder und Vertrautheiten werden in Ost-, Ostmittel- und Sudosteuropa nach dem Zusammenbruch der kommunistischen Systeme (1989/1991) zunehmend in Frage gestellt.

Versklavung im Atlantischen Raum
Im Kontext des Cultural Heritage Booms sind Erinnerungsorte an Versklavung und Kolonialismus ein Feld gesellschaftlicher Konflikte. Das wurde im Jahr 2020 in der Black Lives Matter Bewegung sichtbar. In der International Decade for People of African Descent (2015–2024) wird in Europa, Afrika und den Amerikas diskutiert, wie an Versklavung erinnert werden soll, wer sich bei wem entschuldigen soll und wer wen entschädigen soll. Die Autorin untersucht historische Schauplätze von Versklavung und Profittransfer, Museen, Monumente und Gedenkzeremonien in Frankreich und Spanien, Martinique und Kuba. In Interviews in den europäischen Haupt- und Hafenstädten hat sie eruiert, wer sich für oder ...
