Witness to the Age of Revolution
This stunning graphic history tells the story of Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru, a descendant of the last Inca rulers. After participating in his half-brother's massive rebellion that stretched across Peru from 1780 to 1783, Juan Bautista spent forty years imprisoned by the Spanish, on an "odyssey" that took him from Cusco to Lima to Rio de Janeiro to Cádiz to Ceuta, the African presidio, and back to South America.
The Caudillo of the Andes
The story of Andrés de Santa Cruz, who lived during the turbulent transition from Spanish colonial rule to the founding of Peru and Bolivia.
Forms of Relation
Drawing on literary texts, conversion manuals, and colonial correspondence from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain and Peru, Forms of Relation shows the importance of textual, religious, and bureaucratic ties to struggles over colonial governance and identities. Goldmark analyzes these ties as forms of kinship forged outside of the well-studied paradigms of sex, biology, and procreation. He demonstrates how colonial actors—Spanish and Indigenous—vied for power when they argued that identity could be shaped by spiritual fatherhood, standardized education, or the regulation of doctrine. Forms of Relation illustrates why we must interrogate the dominant paradigms of mestizaje, heterosexuality, and biology that are too often left unchallenged in studies of Spanish colonialism, demonstrating how nonprocreative kinships shaped the Spanish colonial regime.

Ricardo Palma's Tradiciones
Ricardo Palma's Tradiciones is the first comprehensive and critically up-to-date study of Ricardo Palma in English. Its interdisciplinary approach, particularly its examination of gender, radically reinvigorates our understanding of Palma's significance and provides fresh ways of thinking about the intersections between the discourses of sexual politics and populism in the Nineteenth Century
La poesía clasista
La poesía clasista suele ser marginada por los estudios literarios de la historia y la crítica. Suponiendo un sólo tipo de poesía, la literatura burguesa. Este libro estudia, pues, la poesía en relación con las clases sociales que conforman la sociedad. Idea ésta que se resume en el subtítulo: Poesía y lucha de clases en el Perú contemporáneo. Para lograr ese objetivo desarrolla algunos criterios de teoría y de crítica literarias -siempre desde la perspectiva del marxismo-, los mismos que lo conducen a establecer que las clases: pequeña burguesía rural (campesinado), pequeña burguesía urbana (empleados) y proletariado (formado por clase obrera consciente y sus adherentes), tienen a sus poetas específicos, los mismos que producen una poesía diferente de la que hacen los poetas de la clase burguesa (y/o aristocrática). Es decir, una poesía que para establecer esa diferenciación adopta el nombre de poesía clasista.
Procesos Interculturales
Desde una aproximación sociológica, el autor señala los caminos por los cuales discurren las grandes líneas de los procesos interculturales del Perú contemporáneo. Se presenta los fundamentos teóricos de la cultura, la interculturalidad y el discurso Estado-nación. Se estudia el rol de los medios (cine y TV) como mediación popular en la construcción de identidades modernas.
