Indigenous Settlers of the Galápagos
In Indigenous Settlers of the Galápagos: Conservation Law, Race, and Society, Pilar Sánchez Voelkl offers an anthropological and historical account about the early arrival and prominent presence of Andean Indigenous people in the Galápagos Islands. Her research traces the stories of the earliest colonizers, who permanently settled on the archipelago, from the 1860s onwards. Sánchez Voelkl argues that their journey illustrates the way multiple notions of nature, race, and society interact to shape a social order in Darwin’s archipelago. Contrary to common portraits of the islands as an example of untouched nature, Indigenous Settlers of the Galápagos provides compelling evidence about the complexities about human and non-human relationships.
Buttoned Up
Who is today's white-collar man? The world of work has changed radically since The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit and other mid-twentieth-century investigations of corporate life and identity.

Its focus is on the life and work of Pancho Jaime (1946-1989), the most controversial and widely known rock promoter and independent journalist. Between 1984 and his assassination in 1989, Jaime's underground publications used in-depth investigation as well as gossip, pornographic cartoons, and obscene languag...

El Mall. Políticas de espacio y clase social en los centros comerciales latinoamericanos
A pesar de que en Estados Unidos los centros comerciales están perdiendo relevancia, en las zonas urbanas latinoamericanas están en pleno auge. ¿Qué significado tiene esto? El mall es el primer libro que analiza cómo los centros comerciales y los hábitos de consumo influyen en temas de clase social, inequidad y desarrollo urbano en América Latina. Por medio de un estudio etnográfico original, El mall demuestra que los hábitos de consumo son determinantes en la definición de las clases sociales en una ciudad neoliberal. Así, este libro es de consulta indispensable para los especialistas y estudiantes interesados en la política neoliberal y el consumismo, tanto en América Latina como en el resto del mundo.
