Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina
This book reconsiders the relationship between race and nation in Argentina during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and places Argentina firmly in dialog with the literature on race and nation in Latin America, from where it has long been excluded or marginalized for being a white, European exception in a mixed-race region. The contributors, based both in North America and Argentina, hail from the fields of history, anthropology, and literary and cultural studies. Their essays collectively destabilize widespread certainties about Argentina, showing that whiteness in that country has more in common with practices and ideologies of Mestizaje and 'racial democracy' elsewhere in the region than has typically been acknowledged. The essays also situate Argentina within the well-established literature on race, nation, and whiteness in world regions beyond Latin America (particularly, other European 'settler societies'). The collection thus contributes to rethinking race for other global contexts as well.
Ecosystem and Cultural Services
This book describes cases and experiences in connection with environmental and cultural ecosystem services in Argentina. It contributes to the debate in connection with different approaches to analyse ecosystem services, focusing on the environment, the Law and social perspectives and concerns. Among the topics discussed are the implementation of the National Forests Act, the regulation and recognition of ecosystem services, the role of indigenous people, the policies in place for nature and forest conservation in different regions of Argentina. This book is one of the few research studies about cultural ecosystem services developed in Latin America and presents an attractive combination of the legal, environmental and social approaches and was written by an interdisciplinary team of academics who have theoretical and practical experience in this region where there is a valuable natural and cultural heritage.
Hanglin antiprogre
Hanglin vuelve a la carga, más ácido, irreverente y polémico que nunca. La clase media argentina está cada vez más indignada y, en este contexto, Rolando Hanglin vuelve a la carga, más irreverente y polémico que nunca. Sin pelos en la lengua y dueño de un estilo que hace reír a carcajadas, Hanglin y su alter ego, el señor González, se animan a desmitificar la bondad intrínseca del progresismo, una caricatura del progreso con el que nuestros antepasados alguna vez soñaron. Ese ex alumno del Nacional Buenos Aires que vivió la revolución hippie de los sesenta hoy se sorprende frente a una generación que toma el colegio ante el menor inconveniente, hace "pogo" en los recitales y sale a bailar a las cuatro de la mañana. Como si fuera poco, repasa algunos malentendidos de la historia argentina que dieron origen a lo que él llama "la deformación del progreso" y rescata la figura de próceres con mala prensa. Ya sea que hable de las señoras que leen novelas eróticas en sus ratos libres, de la onda swinger o de las campañas al desierto, Hanglin encarna la voz de un grupo de gente que se siente expulsado por un mundo al que no comprende.

Destape
Under dictatorship in Argentina, sex and sexuality were regulated to the point where sex education, explicit images, and even suggestive material were prohibited. With the return to democracy in 1983, Argentines experienced new freedoms, including sexual freedoms. The explosion of the availability and ubiquity of sexual material became known as the destape, and it uncovered sexuality in provocative ways. This was a mass-media phenomenon, but it went beyond this. It was, in effect, a deeper process of change in sexual ideologies and practices. By exploring the boom of sex therapy and sexology; the fight for the implementation of sex education in schools; the expansion of family planning services and of organizations dedicated to sexual health care; and the centrality of discussions on sexuality in feminist and gay organizations, Milanesio shows that the destape was a profound transformation of the way Argentines talked, understood, and experienced sexuality, a change in manners, morals, and personal freedoms.
More Than Silence
The Trappist monk Thomas Merton (1915-1968) is considered one of the most influential Catholic writers of the 20th century. With over 80 works translated into more than two dozen languages, the need for a comprehensive reference on Merton's writing is more than necessary. More Than Silence: A Bibliography of Thomas Merton is not only one of the most comprehensive bibliographies on Merton but is also the first bibliography on Merton in more than 20 years. This bibliography features subdivided lists that classify Merton's books into the following categories: prose works, poetry, letters, edits (by other editors), Merton's translations, contributions to books, visual arts, music selections, and selections and composites. Additionally, Albert Romkema, avid book collector and owner of one of the largest private collections of Merton's published works, has contributed a special section on rare books.

Espelhos para a ditadura: o golpe de 1964 no Brasil como notícia internacional na imprensa Argentina
Helder da Silveira, nos escritos aqui apresentados, foca o seu olhar em uma perspectiva inovadora: as relações internacionais vistas a partir da imprensa, no caso, a visão argentina sobre acontecimentos políticos do Brasil. Partindo do pressuposto de que a mídia constitui um meio essencial para a formação de um consenso mínimo para as ações políticas (constitucionais ou não), o autor dedica-se a entender a abordagem de jornais e de revistas do país vizinho acerca da trajetória política brasileira como uma forma de legitimar ações/movimentos em seu próprio território. Interessa, particularmente, analisar a interpretação – consolidada na historiografia – de que a abordagem da imprensa argentina sobre o Golpe de 1964, que instaurou um regime autoritário no Brasil, tinha como objetivo central preparar ideologicamente uma "solução política" semelhante no país platino.
