Comics and Memory in Latin America
Latin American comics and graphic novels have a unique history of addressing controversial political, cultural, and social issues. This volume presents new perspectives on how comics on and from Latin America both view and express memory formation on major historical events and processes. The contributors, from a variety of disciplines including literary theory, cultural studies, and history, explore topics including national identity construction, narratives of resistance to colonialism and imperialism, the construction of revolutionary traditions, and the legacies of authoritarianism and political violence. The chapters offer a background history of comics and graphic novels in the region, and survey a range of countries and artists such as Joaquín Salvador Lavado (a.k.a Quino), Héctor G. Oesterheld, and Juan Acevedo. They also highlight the unique ability of this art and literary form to succinctly render memory. In sum, this volume offers in-depth analysis of an understudied, yet key literary genre in Latin American memory studies and documents the essential role of comics during the transition from dictatorship to democracy.

Cómics y memoria en América Latina
América Latina es un continente con una rica tradición de cómics. Sin embargo, aún no se ha explorado de manera sistemática cómo los cómics sirven para recordar, olvidar o dar sentido a una multitud de temáticas, desde la construcción de la identidad nacional hasta las narrativas de resistencia al colonialismo y el imperialismo, pasando por la construcción de tradiciones revolucionarias o el autoritarismo, la violencia política y sus traumáticos legados. Los cómics se erigen como un espacio formal, cultural y social clave para las prácticas de la memoria y los debates acerca de cómo encarar el pasado. El presente libro posiciona el cómic en un lugar central para el análisis y la comprensión de los procesos memorísticos en el contexto latinoamericano.

També relata el desmantellament de l’obra lingüística de la Lliga per part de la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera. Una aportació utilíssima en l’actual moment de discussions sobre el nou projecte d’Estatut.

No Barrier Can Contain It
Vividly recasting Cuba's politics in the 1930s as transnational, Ariel Mae Lambe has produced an unprecendented reimagining of Cuban activism during an era previously regarded as a lengthy, defeated lull. In this period, many Cuban activists began to look at their fight against strongman rule and neocolonial control at home as part of the international antifascism movement that exploded with the Spanish Civil War. Frustrated by multiple domestic setbacks, including Colonel Fulgencio Batista's violent crushing of a massive general strike, activists found strength in the face of repression by refusing to view their political goals as confined to the island. As individuals and in groups, Cubans...
