América imaginaria
El profesor y escritor Miguel Rojas Mix nos cuenta la historia de cómo Europa ha visto a América desde su especulación, descubrimiento{OCLCbr#BB} y subyugación. Lo fantástico, lo exótico, la filosofía, el arte y el humor habitan en sus páginas, a través de un texto tan erudito como ágil, punzante y de un excepcional material iconográfico, que abarca desde los grabados que ilustran las cartas de Colón hasta el arte naturalista de Humboldt y sus discípulos. Este libro nos enseñará que las imágenes que relataron América al mundo devinieron en gran parte producto de las fabulaciones del etnocentrismo más que de la observación científica; discurso de dominación en el que, a través de la imagen, un mundo ha afirmado su superioridad sobre otro.
Latin America
“Latin America” is a concept firmly entrenched in its philosophical, moral, and historical meanings. And yet, Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo argues in this landmark book, it is an obsolescent racial-cultural idea that ought to have vanished long ago with the banishment of racial theory. Latin America: The Allure and Power of an Idea makes this case persuasively.

Go Southwest, Old Man
Go Southwest, Old Man,, a sort of personal remake of 'Go West, Young Man', the founding episteme of the American nineteenth century, conciliates these two souls (well, not to be pretentious, let's simply say two sides) that have actually always lived in harmony. This is a book generated by a quarter of a century spent wandering around the canyons and deserts of Arizona, Colorado, Utah and, above all New Mexico, with a view to penetrating the by now universal legend of the West, approaching the cultures (English, Hispanic and native American), and mastering the literature. The slant is composite: melding the scholarly with the informative and the travel journal, and the writing is composite t...

Diasporic Marvellous Realism
Diasporic Marvellous Realism highlights the interesting switch in perspective found in contemporary literary production where the supernatural is regarded from a diasporic perspective as marvellous rather than magical. The titular term is applied to the influence of transterritorialization on the works of first- and second generation immigrant writers when approaching and exploring the myths and legends of their culture of origin. The texts included in this analysis show that the employment of this literary philosophy and narrative technique in contemporary literature involves a fruitful refocusing of the rhetorical gaze regarding the importance of cultural heritage as vindicatory resistance to the lacunae of history and as celebratory re-enfranchisement of diasporic communities in host countries such as Canada and the UK.
