Thanks to Life
Chilean musician and artist Violeta Parra (1917–1967) is an inspiration to generations of artists and activists across the globe. Her music is synonymous with resistance, and it animated both the Chilean folk revival and the protest music movement Nueva Canción (New Song). Her renowned song “Gracias a la vida” has been covered countless times, including by Joan Baez, Mercedes Sosa, and Kacey Musgraves. A self-taught visual artist, Parra was the first Latin American to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Decorative Arts in the Louvre. In this remarkable biography, Ericka Verba traces Parra’s radical life and multifaceted artistic trajectory across Latin America and Europe and on ...

Che Wants to See You
For the first time, Ciro Bustos, Che’s right-hand man in the struggle for Argentina, tells his story. As a young man inspired by the example of Cuba, Bustos was determined to bring revolution to the home country he shared with his hero. After a failed attempt to liberate Argentina, it was not until 1966 that he was contacted by the Cubans once again and told, “Che wants to see you.” Under false papers, Bustos crossed the border into Bolivia, where Che was in hiding with his guerrilla forces; and here, for the first time, Che shared his plans for a continental revolution. In this fascinating memoir, Ciro Bustos tells us a story only he is able to recount: what really happened in Bolivia in 1967 and why he did not betray Che.

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. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology

El día que me mataron
El autor de libro, que acostumbra escribir sobre los conflictos de Chile con sus vecinos o bien de análisis politológico duro, por fin se decide a desclasificar su memoria personal y aportar con sus vivencias a la recontrucción de la memoria histórica de Chile. Su paso por determinados lugares que hicieron historia o el conocimiento de primera mano de sus protagonistas le permite testimoniar episodios significativos de una parte medular del siglo veinte: como asumió su propia muerte el 11 de septiembre de 1973, su exilio en la Alemania de Honecker, el fascinante Perú, un Pablo Neruda en trance de recibir el ingrato “pago de Chile”, o Fidel Castro y su fabulosa intromisión en nuest...
La prensa chilena en la encrucijada
La encrucijada que vive la prensa escrita es sentirse asfixiada por la uniformidad del mensaje que presentan diarios y revistas versus la mayor diversidad de enfoques y facilidades para expresarse que ofrece la pantalla digital. La prensa de papel no siempre fue así. No lo era en la antigua democracia y hay estudios que señalan que su mayor equilibrio, con puntos de vista diversos o incluso antagónicos, ocurrió bajo el gobierno de la Unidad Popular. ¿Cómo se fueron cerrando las opiniones hasta llegar a las voces monocordes que hoy tenemos en los medios?
