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

Women in Presidential Cabinets
Are women in presidential cabinets new political players or do they adopt the same strategies as the men who traditionally run government?

Using data from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and the US, Women in Presidential Cabinets provides evidence of gender integration.
El hilo que teje la vida
El hilo que teje la vida es un libro en el que Juan Luis Mejía Arango reúne y complementa sus trabajos e investigaciones en torno a la cultura en Antioquia; ese gran tema que ha ocupado -y en el que ha ocupado- su curiosidad e intereses durante décadas. En ocho grandes capítulos, el autor abarca desde la Antioquia minera de los siglos XVII y XVIII, hasta la industrializada de la primera mitad del XX, pasando desde luego por la convulsionada y cambiante del XIX. En ese recorrido extenso, que es tanto en tiempo como en espacio, Juan Luis Mejía nos muestra de qué manera la economía, la política, las disputas y los cambios en el paisaje han labrado nuestra identidad. Distintas formas de arte y manifestaciones culturales antioqueñas aparecen en este libro, acompañadas por los protagonistas y, además, salpicadas de anécdotas. El hilo que teje la vida es sin duda una obra rica en fuentes e investigación, pero es también un nuevo episodio en la conversación interminable que este autor ha sostenido con sus lectores.

The Routledge Handbook of Global Cultural Policy
Cultural policy intersects with political, economic, and socio-cultural dynamics at all levels of society, placing high and often contradictory expectations on the capabilities and capacities of the media, the fine, performing, and folk arts, and cultural heritage. These expectations are articulated, mobilised and contested at – and across – a global scale. As a result, the study of cultural policy has firmly established itself as a field that cuts across a range of academic disciplines, including sociology, cultural and media studies, economics, anthropology, area studies, languages, geography, and law. This Routledge Handbook of Global Cultural Policy sets out to broaden the field’s ...
