Liberals, Politics, and Power
Looking at the Latin American liberal project during the century of postindependence, this collection of original essays draws attention to an underappreciated dilemma confronting liberals: idealistic visions and fiscal restraints. Liberals, Politics, and Power focuses on the inventiveness of nineteenth-century Latin Americans who applied liberal ideology to the founding and maintenance of new states. The impact of liberalism in Latin America, the contributors show, is best understood against the larger backdrop of struggles that pitted regional demands against the pressures of foreign finance, a powerful church against a decentralized state, and aristocratic desire to retain privilege again...

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

Power in the Village
Power in the Village explores the formation of late-nineteenth-century Italian rural society in southern Brazil, through an examination of how Italian peasants in northern Italy and southern Brazil solved issues related to family honor. Looking specifically at social networks and justice practices to examine the kind of rationality that ruled individual and family behaviors, the book offers an understanding of the restoration of social balance in these communities, and explores the culture of immigrants, particularly in issues related to honor and morality. Taking as a case study the ambush and murder of a parish priest, Antonio Sorio, in January 1900 in Silveira Martins, a small town of Ita...
Clássicos de história política: o Rio Grande do Sul e a Primeira República
A presente obra não se constitui apenas em uma coletânea impessoal de textos de referência de História do Rio Grande do Sul, mas, sobretudo, no resultado de um esforço pessoal de interlocução de Rodrigo Dal Forno e Rafael Lapuente com os seus respectivos autores, o que provocou em todos eles uma reflexão a respeito da relevância e validade da reedição dos seus estudos nos dias de hoje. Em todos os casos, contudo, prevaleceu entre os historiadores, da velha e da nova geração, a consciência da historicidade de cada um dos textos, agora reeditados. Cada um deles, certamente, é filho do seu próprio tempo. Simultaneamente, há a consciência da sua importância e relevância histórica, o que justifica uma nova edição, tão bem organizada. Ganhamos todos.
