Becoming Heritage
Since the late twentieth century, multicultural reforms to benefit minorities have swept through Latin America, however, in Colombia ethno-racial inequality remains rife. Becoming Heritage evaluates how heritage policies affected the Afro-Colombian community of San Basilio de Palenque after it was proclaimed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2005. Although the designation partially delivered on its promise of multicultural inclusion, it also created ethno-racial exclusion and conflict among groups within the Palenquero community. The new forms of power, knowledge, skills and values created to safeguard heritage exacerbated political, social, symbolic and economic inequalities among Palenqueros, and did little to ameliorate the harsh realities of living and dying in Palenque. Bringing together broader discussions on race, nation and inclusion in Colombia, Becoming Heritage reveals that inequality in Palenque is not only a result of Black Colombians' uneven access to resources; it is enforced through heritage politics, expertise and governance.
Routledge Handbook of Afro-Latin American Studies
This Handbook provides a comprehensive roadmap to the burgeoning area of Afro-Latin American Studies. Afro-Latins as a civilization developed during the period of slavery, obtaining cultural contributions from Indigenous and European worlds, while today they are enriched by new social configurations derived from contemporary migrations from Africa. The essays collected in this volume speak to scientific production that has been promoted in the region from the humanities and social sciences with the aim of understanding the phenomenon of the African diaspora as a specific civilizing element. With contributions from world-leading figures in their fields overseen by an eminent international editorial board, this Handbook features original, authoritative articles organized in four coherent parts: • Disciplinary Studies; • Problem Focused Fields; • Regional and Country Approaches; • Pioneers of Afro-Latin American Studies. The Routledge Handbook of Afro-Latin American Studies will not only serve as the major reference text in the area of Afro-Latin American Studies but will also provide the agenda for future new research.
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

Reportajes. Tomo II
Es más fácil encontrar a la Santísima Trinidad que a Julio Nieto Bernal. Uno va a Caracol, donde tiene su comando general, allá dicen que salió para la Asociación Nacional de la Productividad, allá dicen que está inaugurando una sucursal en Pereira, allá dicen que regresó de urgencia porque tenía una mesa redonda en la Javeriana, allá dicen que está en Chile en un congreso y que irá a España a recibir el Premio Ondas que concedieron a su programa Monitor, allá... He gastado un par de zapatos y setenta pesos de taxi buscando a este señor para hacerle un reportaje, pero nadie sabía dónde estaba, siempre acababa de salir para otra parte, para hacer otra cosa. Finalmente, uno se resigna a que sea medianoche para ver si está en su casa descansando.
Mi reino por este mundo
Vida y poesía, vida y amor vida y libertad. Esta triada, que los surrealistas comulgaron entre sueno y realidad, no es sólo una bandera de acción sino una bandeja de asombro y fascinación donde se despliega la obra poética de Jotamario Arbeláez. Así viene allí al desnudo "el cuerpo de ella" donde las palabras hacen el amor con la poesía; viene "el profeta en su casa" recordando para recordar "la casa de memoria vienen los santos aliñados con "zen y santidad" desfilando con sandalias en la cabeza y cien pies en la tierra; viene en "paños menores" la impudicia de un "culito de rana" para ejercer "el arte de pedirlo"; viene aquello de que "nada es para siempre, viene la ofrenda de "mi reino por este mundo". Porque ya desde sus comienzos, la poesía de Jotamario es una aventura, un desafío para correr todos los riesgos.
