Cuba’s Digital Revolution
A wide-ranging examination of the ways digital technologies are impacting Cuba’s Revolutionary project The triumph of the Cuban Revolution gave the Communist Party a monopoly over both politics and the mass media. However, with the subsequent global proliferation of new information and communication technologies, Cuban citizens have become active participants in the worldwide digital revolution. While the Cuban internet has long been characterized by censorship, high costs, slow speeds, and limited access, this volume argues that since 2013, technological developments have allowed for a fundamental reconfiguration of the cultural, economic, social, and political spheres of the Revolutionar...
Portable Postsocialisms
A study of Cuban culture and media in the twenty-first century as both a global phenomenon and a local reality, at a time when the declared death of socialism coexists in tension with emerging anticapitalist movements worldwide. Why does Cuban socialism endure as an object of international political desire, while images of capitalist markets consume Cuba’s national imagination? This bold new study argues that Cuba’s changing media cultures are key to our understanding of the global postsocialist condition and its competing political imaginaries. Portable Postsocialisms calls on a vast multimedia archive to offer a groundbreaking cultural interpretation of Cuban postsocialism. Paloma Duon...
1819 y la construcción del del Estado-Nación en Colombia
Este libro es una obra conmemorativa de una fecha histórica relacionada con el Bicentenario del proceso de Independencia de Colombia. Justamente posee problemáticas variadas, pero siempre con fenomenologías en torno a 1819, verbigracia, los antecedentes, las distintas miradas del problema histórico e historiográfico desde diversas ópticas de análisis (como en efecto las hay), sus repercusiones y, por supuesto, lo que representó a lo largo del tiempo para la construcción del Estado-Nación.
Un nombre para la América al sur del río Bravo
El nombre del colombiano José María Torres Caicedo no pasa de estar inscrito en más de una decena de libros. No obstante, el término América Latina, creado por él, es reproducido a diario por muchas personas y medios de comunicación, sin preguntarse acaso por su origen. A primera vista esta situación parecerá extraña, pero si se insiste en preguntar, inclusive a personas del ámbito académico, solo algunas muy especializadas en el tema darían respuesta sobre quién fue José María Torres Caicedo. La razón estriba en los escasos trabajos realizados sobre él y en la casi nula difusión, incluso en el discurso político unionista latinoamericano de esta figura histórica. Un nomb...

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...
