El precario
"Resulta para mí, desde luego, un motivo de gran satisfacción y un alto honor muy ilusionante presentar al lector interesado este libro sobre el precario, con motivo de la gentileza que ha tenido Ediciones Olejnik, de permitirme ofrecer este texto a su exquisito y bien preparado público. Dicha circunstancia, tan querida para un autor, de permitirle comunicar su trabajo fuera del marco geográfico en que se desarrolla su actividad implica, junto con el sentimiento agradable de gratitud por haber encontrado cálida res-puesta en los amables responsables de la publicación peruana, la ineludible carga de responsabilidad de no haber defraudado las expectativas y objetivos de quienes apuestan ...
Cinemachismo
After the modern Mexican state came into being following the Revolution of 1910, hyper-masculine machismo came to be a defining characteristic of "mexicanidad," or Mexican national identity. Virile men (pelados and charros), virtuous prostitutes as mother figures, and minstrel-like gay men were held out as desired and/or abject models not only in governmental rhetoric and propaganda, but also in literature and popular culture, particularly in the cinema.

Archaeology in Latin America
This pioneering and comprehensive survey is the first overview of current themes in Latin American archaeology written solely by academics native to the region, and it makes their collected expertise available to an English-speaking audience for the first time. The contributors cover the most significant issues in the archaeology of Latin America, such as the domestication of camelids, the emergence of urban society in Mesoamerica, the frontier of the Inca empire, and the relatively little known archaeology of the Amazon basin. This book draws together key areas of research in Latin American archaeological thought into a coherent whole; no other volume on this area has ever dealt with such a diverse range of subjects, and some of the countries examined have never before been the subject of a regional study.
