Jornalismo na Amazônia
No momento em que a Amazônia se torna assunto de interesse mundial, o livro do jornalista Rômulo D'Castro levanta uma importante discussão: como a mídia nacional, especialmente os telejornais, trata a região? Não raro, têm-se a impressão de que a Amazônia é um território alienígena, praticamente situado fora do que se entende por "Brasil". A história, a cultura, os costumes e o dia a dia dos amazônidas são cotidianamente ignorados nos programas de notícias. Isso porque, nas abordagens jornalísticas, predomina o padrão estabelecido pelo Sudeste, a visão do eixo Rio-São Paulo, que se impõe à abordagem da mídia regional. Jornalismo na Amazônia analisa essencialmente dois...

Los orígenes del neoliberalismo en México
Estudio histórico de las raíces del pensamiento ortodoxo neoliberal contemporáneo en México a partir de sus principales exponentes: Luis Montes de Oca, Faustino Ballvé, Gustavo R. Velasco y Aníbal de Iturbide. La conformación de esta corriente fue un acto consciente de un sector de la élite económica con el fin de crear un proyecto alternativo al nacionalismo económico surgido con la Revolución mexicana de 1910, y sus ideas fueron difundidas, principalmente, a través de la relación que estableció Montes de Oca con Ludwig Von Mises y Friedrich Von Hayek, líderes intelectuales de la Escuela austriaca durante el siglo XX, así como con otros importantes economistas, financieros y periodistas de pensamiento liberal.
The Formation of Latin American Nations
This pioneering work brings the pre-Columbian and colonial history of Latin America home: rather than starting out in Spain and following Columbus and the conquistadores as they “discover” New World peoples, The Formation of Latin American Nations begins with the Mesoamerican and South American nations as they were before the advent of European colonialism—and only then moves on to the sixteenth-century Spanish arrival and its impact. To form a clearer picture of precolonial Latin America, Thomas Ward reads between the lines in the “Chronicles of the Indies,” filling in the blanks with information derived from archaeology, anthropology, genetics, and common-sense logic. Although he...
Beyond the Eagle's Shadow
The dominant tradition in writing about U.S.–Latin American relations during the Cold War views the United States as all-powerful. That perspective, represented in the metaphor “talons of the eagle,” continues to influence much scholarly work down to the present day. The goal of this collection of essays is not to write the United States out of the picture but to explore the ways Latin American governments, groups, companies, organizations, and individuals promoted their own interests and perspectives. The book also challenges the tendency among scholars to see the Cold War as a simple clash of “left” and “right.” In various ways, several essays disassemble those categories and explore the complexities of the Cold War as it was experienced beneath the level of great-power relations.
Forging Latin America
A sweeping yet intimate exploration of Latin America’s political history, Forging Latin America profiles fifty-two of the region’s most influential figures—from dictators and reformers to artists and priests—who, for better or worse, have shaped its character and destiny from the Spanish Conquest to the present day.

From Al-Andalus to the Americas (13th-17th Centuries)
From Al-Andalus to the Americas (13th-17th Centuries). Destruction and Construcion of Societies offers a multi-perspective view of the filiation of different colonial and settler colonial experiences, from the Medieval Iberian Peninsula to the early Modern Americas. All the articles in the volume refer the reader to colonial orders that extended over time, that substantially reduced indigenous populations, that imposed new productive strategies and created new social hierarchies. The ideological background and how conquests were organised; the treatment given to the conquered lands and people; the political organisations, and the old and new agricultural systems are issues discussed in this volume. Contributors are David Abulafia, Manuel Ardit, Antonio Espino, Adela Fábregas, Josep M. Fradera, Enric Guinot, Helena Kirchner, Antonio Malpica, Virgilio Martínez-Enamorado, Carmen Mena, António Mendes, Félix Retamero, Inge Schjellerup, Josep Torró, and Antoni Virgili.
Tree of Hate
This work is an exploration of 'the Black Legend', the popular myth that colonial Spain and her military religious agents were brutal and unrelenting in their conquest of the Americas.
