Nazis and Nazi Sympathizers in Latin America after 1945
Aside from the prominent perpetrators such as Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele or Klaus Barbie, there were numerous other cases of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers from Germany and Austria who ended up in Latin America after 1945. Their life trajectories, professional activities, and contacts to local elites in their new homes have hardly been subject to systematic research to date. Their new lives in Latin America, their careers e.g. as diplomats, secret service agents or scientists are therefore a main focus of this volume. The biographies of these people and their networks are woven into the larger political, social, and scientific contexts of postwar Europe and Latin America, especially in the early Cold War period.

Beauty and the Inferno
Essays on art, politics and life from the best-selling author of Gomorrah Gomorrah, Roberto Saviano’s 2006 exposé of Naples’s Camorra mafia, was an international bestseller and became an award-winning film. But the death threats that followed forced the author into hiding. Saviano was ostracized by his countrymen and went on the run, changing his location every few months and compelled to keep perpetual company with his bodyguards. To this day, he lives in an undisclosed location. The loneliness of the fugitive life informs the essays in Beauty and the Inferno. Among other subjects, he writes about the legendary South African jazz singer Miriam Makeba, his meeting with the real-life Donnie Brasco, sharing the Nobel Academy platform with Salman Rushdie, and the murdered Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya. Present throughout the book is a sense of Saviano’s peculiar isolation, which infuses his words with anger, exceptional insight and tragedy.
Translating Neruda
What goes into the translating of a poem? Usually that process gets forgotten once the new poem stands intact in translation. Yet a verse translation derives from historical, biographical, and philosophical research, interpretive analysis of the original poem, and continuous linguistic and prosodic choices that parallel those the poet made. Taking as a text Pablo Neruda's brilliant prophetic sequence Alturas de Macchu Picchu (1945), the author here re-creates the entire process of translation, from his first encounter with the poem to the last shaping of a phrase that may never come right in English. This many-faceted book forms an essay on the theory and practice of literary translation, a study of Neruda's career through 1945, and an interpretation of his major poem, all of which lead to a striking new poem in English, Heights of Macchu Picchu, printed along with the original Spanish. This genesis of a verse translation also includes little-known biographical data, hitherto untranslated poems and prose from the years 1920 to 1945, and new translations of key poems from Neruda's Residence on Earth and Spain in My Heart.
Public Policy in Latin America
The study of Latin America has long been an ideological battleground. Scholars disagree on every major issue: the impact of the U.S. influence in the region, the political orientation of the middle class, the role of the military, the rate of socioeconomic change, and the viability of reform. Public Policy in Latin America is a masterful synthesis of scholarship on the region. Sloan studies political phenomena not by making superficial comparisons between leaders, parties or styles, but by examining what governments do-the creation of public policy through political process. The decisions to stress accumulation versus distribution of economic goods, the role of the bureaucracy, and the quality of political participation tell more about a nation than what party or persons are in power.

Jai-Kai De Olgiate Olona / Hai-Kai Da Olgiate Olona
La raccolta di poesie Haikai da Olgiate Olona di Angel Aguirre è la sequenza di storie che ricalcano “tratti” o squarci di meditazioni. È la poetica dei piccoli segnali, delle evocatrici memorazioni sonoro-visive, delle frustrazioni cerebrali che catalizzano emozioni, nostalgie per un qualcosa di irrimediabilmente perduto. La frontiera, tra realtà e creazione, tra esperienza e invenzione è l’essenza stessa della scrittura poetica: una frontiera mobile, incerta, mai defi nitiva. Profondamente romantico, Aguirre crea spazi che vivono di se stesso, dei propri umori e torpori, delle proprie luci e, nei propri ristagni d’ombra, delle prospettive date e negate, dei crolli, delle impennate improvvise, dei vertiginosi slanci rifi utati. Legato appassionatamente alle figure umane, ai loro effimeri e struggenti destini, al loro transito eccitato e confuso, Aguirre identifi ca il tempo vero della poesia, ovvero, il tempo dell’aggrovigliato fl usso dell’esistenza.
