Spanish Diversity in the Amazon
This book, the first of its kind, is dedicated to different Spanish varieties spoken in the Amazonian regions of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. The contributions present diverse perspectives on theoretical, methodological, and descriptive characterizations of the study of Amazonian Spanish. It includes linguistic (phonological, syntactic, discourse-pragmatic), typological, ethnographic, sociolinguistic, and language contact approaches. The analyses of oral corpora include comparisons between monolingual and contact varieties of the speech of bilingual speakers who are native speakers of an indigenous Amazonian variety. This collection contributes to the fields of Hispanic and Amerindian Linguistics, and language contact.
Spanish in Africa/Africa in Spanish
Since the 1960s, Afro-Hispanic linguistics has produced vital knowledge at the intersection of African diaspora studies and Spanish sociolinguistics – yet many misconceptions persist in research literature. To challenge those biased assumptions, the contributions gathered in this volume present current research on Afro-Hispanic varieties from both sides of the Atlantic (Equatorial Guinean Spanish, Palenquero, Afro-Puerto Rican Spanish from Loíza, San Andrean [Colombia] Raizal Spanish) and address the influence of Portuguese-based Creoles on Afro-Hispanic varieties during the early colonial era. Conceived in cooperation with students, activists, social workers, civil servants, and research...
Por el derecho comprender
Es común en la sociedad sentir que los funcionarios son inaccesibles, que los escritos del Estado son confusos y que los trámites son innecesariamente complejos. De igual forma, la eficiencia de las entidades se ve afectada por no saber comunicarse con los usuarios. Ante esta situación, organizaciones provenientes de la academia y los sectores público y privado crearon la Red de Lenguaje Claro de Colombia con el objetivo de contribuir a hacer realidad el presupuesto jurídico y político del derecho a comprender. Este libro es uno de los productos de la Red. Recoge discusiones teóricas, reflexiones sobre experiencias de intervención, resultados de investigaciones, propuestas de pautas para la escritura jurídica y guías para elaborar material pedagógico. De este modo, se espera contribuir a la transformación de los imaginarios culturales sobre el uso del lenguaje, especialmente el jurídico.

Latino Image Makers in Hollywood
Latinos have been part of the Hollywood film industry for more than 100 years, yet beyond the remarkable success of a few, their visibility and clout have generally not reflected their significance in American society. Worse, the Latino image has suffered from widespread stereotyping in film, and performers face unjustified constraints in the kinds of roles available to them. Decade by decade from 1960 onward, this book analyzes important films made by or about Latinos, details the careers of Latino performers and filmmakers of the time, and analyzes how film portrayals of Latino characters and subjects connect with political and social trends of each decade. It discusses the role of gender, social class, and ethnicity in film portrayals and provides an overview of the diverse and dynamic Latino community in the United States, while celebrating a substantial and enduring contribution to Hollywood film history.
