Latin America's Democratic Crusade
By emphasizing Latin American reformers' decades-long struggle to defeat authoritarianism, this transnational history challenges the timeworn Cold War paradigm and recasts the region's political evolution Scholars persist in framing the Cold War as a battle between left and right, one in which the Global South is cast as either witting or unwitting proxies of Washington and Moscow. What if the era is told from the perspective of the many who preferred reform to revolution? Scholars have routinely neglected, dismissed, or caricatured moderate politicians. In this book, Allen Wells argues that until the Cuban Revolution, the struggle was not between capitalism and communism--that was Washingto...
Mestizo Modernity
Honorable Mention, Latin American Studies Association Mexico Section Best Book in the Humanities After the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1917, postrevolutionary leaders hoped to assimilate the country’s racially diverse population into one official mixed-race identity—the mestizo. This book shows that as part of this vision, the Mexican government believed it could modernize “primitive” Indigenous peoples through technology in the form of education, modern medicine, industrial agriculture, and factory work. David Dalton takes a close look at how authors, artists, and thinkers—some state-funded, some independent—engaged with official views of Mexican racial identity from the 19...
Chilean New Song and the Question of Culture in the Allende Government
Focusing on the cultural debate within the left during the Popular Unity government in Chile (1970-73), Chilean New Song and the Question of Culture in the Allende Government situates the discourses and artistic production linked to the Chilean New Song movement, in order to demonstrate that the musicians were part of the committed intelligentsia. Thus, they actively participated in the discussion and proposal of ways to integrate culture in the revolutionary process, playing an important political and cultural role. The analysis is mainly based on the government-friendly press and on records released between 1970 and 1973, verifying how the main trends observed in the cultural debate were expressed in the movement; the extent to which the positions defended by the musicians have been in tune with governmental purposes; and if they have in fact influenced the cultural policies debated and pursued by Popular Unity.
Untold Stories of the Spanish Civil War
This is the first scholarly volume to offer an insight into the less known stories of women, children, and international volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Special attention is given to volunteers of different historical experiences, especially Jews, and voices from less researched countries in the context of the Spanish war, such as Palestine and Turkey. Of an interdisciplinary nature, this volume brings together historians and literary scholars from different countries. Their research is based on newly found primary sources in both national and private archives, as well as on post-essentialist methodological insights for women’s history, Jewish history, and studies on belonging.

L'eroe di Roma
EDIZIONE SPECIALE: CONTIENE UN ESTRATTO DEL NUOVO ROMANZO Una delle battaglie più sanguinose della storia dell'impero romano «La gloria di quel giorno fu splendida, all’altezza delle vittorie di un tempo.» Tacito La storia lo ha reso vincitore Britannia, 59 d.C. Il potere di Roma sul territorio dell’odierna Inghilterra si sta indebolendo. L’imperatore Nerone ha distolto la sua attenzione da questo remoto avamposto, e l’ascesa dei Druidi, che gettano semi di ribellione tra le tribù britanniche, sembra inarrestabile. Le vessazioni e lo sfruttamento delle popolazioni sottomesse hanno fatto crescere il malcontento, e la regina guerriera Budicca, tradita, umiliata e oltraggiata dai Ro...
