Frederick Luis Aldama and graphic artists from Mapache Studios give shape to ugly truths in the most honest way, creating new perceptions, thoughts, and feelings about life in the borderlands of the Américas.

Vivienda y cultura
El territorio, el hábitat y la vivienda se entienden como manifestaciones espaciales, en escalas diferenciadas, de valores culturales que implican concepciones y prácticas específicas en un contexto sociocultural y económico determinado. Conformado por tres partes que abordan la vivienda autóctona, la vivienda tradicional y la construcción cultural de la ciudad actual en Colombia, este libro reúne una serie de textos que recogen resultados de investigaciones sobre la vivienda urbana y rural, los cuales trascienden la descripción de los aspectos morfológicos, estéticos, simbólicos o técnico-constructivos para incluir perspectivas analíticas que involucran las características del hábitat y la vivienda en distintos ámbitos geográficos y contextos socioculturales.

The Oxford Handbook of Latino Studies
At the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century, the Latino minority, the biggest and fastest growing in the United States, is at a crossroads. Is assimilation taking place in comparable ways to previous immigrant groups? Are the links to the countries of origin being redefined in the age of contested globalism? The Oxford Handbook of Latino Studies reflects on these questions, offering a sweeping exploration of Latinas and Latinos' complex experiences in the United States. Twenty-four essays discuss various aspects of Latino life and history, from literature, popular culture, and music, to religion, philosophy, and language identity.

Latin American Literature in Transition 1980–2018: Volume 5
How do we address the idea of the literary now at the end of the second decade in the 21st century? Many traditional categories obscure or overlook significant contemporary forms of cultural production. This volume looks at literature and culture in general in this hinge period. Latin American Literature in Transition 1980-2018 examines the ways literary culture complicates national or area studies understandings of cultural production. Topics point to fresh, intersectional understandings of cultural practice, while keeping in mind the ongoing stakes in a struggle over material and intangible cultural and political borders that are being reinforced in formidable ways.
Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2016
Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2016 provides a tool for policy makers to identify and analyze legal barriers for the business of agriculture and to quantify transaction costs of dealing with government regulations. Building on an earlier progress report published in November 2014, this volume presents the main results for 40 countries, for the first time using indicator scores to showcase good practices among countries in different stages of agricultural development. It also presents interesting results on the relationship between efficiency and quality of regulations, discriminatory practices in the laws, and whether regulatory information is accessible. Regional, income-group, and country-specific trends and data observations are presented on six topics: seed, fertilizer, machinery, finance, markets, and transport. The report also discusses the continued development of several topics that will be added in future reports: information and communication technology, land, water, livestock, gender, and environmental sustainability.
