Dulcinea in the Factory
Before it became the center of Latin American drug trafficking, the Colombian city of Medellín was famous as a success story of industrialization, a place where protectionist tariffs had created a “capitalist paradise.” By the 1960s, the city’s textile industrialists were presenting themselves as the architects of a social stability that rested on Catholic piety and strict sexual norms. Dulcinea in the Factory explores the boundaries of this paternalistic order by investigating workers’ strategies of conformity and resistance and by tracing the disciplinary practices of managers during the period from the turn of the century to a massive reorganization of the mills in the late 1950s...
Music, Race, and Nation
Long a favorite on dance floors in Latin America, the porro, cumbia, and vallenato styles that make up Colombia's música tropical are now enjoying international success. How did this music—which has its roots in a black, marginal region of the country—manage, from the 1940s onward, to become so popular in a nation that had prided itself on its white heritage? Peter Wade explores the history of música tropical, analyzing its rise in the context of the development of the broadcast media, rapid urbanization, and regional struggles for power. Using archival sources and oral histories, Wade shows how big band renditions of cumbia and porro in the 1940s and 1950s suggested both old traditions and new liberties, especially for women, speaking to a deeply rooted image of black music as sensuous. Recently, nostalgic, "whitened" versions of música tropical have gained popularity as part of government-sponsored multiculturalism. Wade's fresh look at the way music transforms and is transformed by ideologies of race, nation, sexuality, tradition, and modernity is the first book-length study of Colombian popular music.

Assembling a multiplicity of voices and experiences, the contributions illuminate key dimensions of abortion rights struggles: health...
Escritos sobre música: libretos para la Radiodifusora Nacional
"Leon de Greiff formo parte de un grupo de intelectuales y artistas que fundara la Radiodifusora Nacional -1 de febrero de 1940- como dependencia del Ministerio de Educacion Nacional con el fin de propender a la difusion de la cultura, y presto su colaboracion en tal empeno hasta 1961 -con algunas interrupciones- mediante programas semanales sobre temas musicales. Este volumen contiene 203 comentarios musicales escritos por Leon de Greiff, principalmente para programas de radio. Aunque estos textos nunca fueron revisados o corregidos, ya que su autor nunca tuvo en mente su publicacion, ahora se hace pensando que pueda ser de alguna utilidad para los jovenes melomanos y para quienes crean que conociendo un poco mejor sus aficiones y opiniones en el campo de la musica, se podra disfrutar mas la lectura de su obra."
