"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world....

Informal Politics
As economic crises struck the Third World in the 1970s and 1980s, large segments of the population turned to the informal economy to survive. This book looks at street vending as a political process in the largest city in the world.
The Ambivalent State
Over the last few decades, debates about policing in poor urban areas have turned from analyzing the state's neglect and abandonment into documenting its harsh interventions and punishing presence.

DE CUENTO EN CUENTO. MUJERES Y RELATOS DE LARGO RECORRIDO
Este undécimo volumen de la Colección de "Literatura y Mujer" explora las variantes de autoría femenina de relatos tradicionales protagonizados por mujeres que, desde hace siglos, forman parte de nuestro ideario colectivo. Estas narraciones de largo recorrido, multiplicadas en épocas y espacios distintos, nos vienen acompañando en sus diversas variantes como instrumentos poderosos de configuración de género. Situadas entre la cultura alta y la cultura popular, entre la escritura y la oralidad, muestran todo un abanico de relaciones humanas y de estrategias de pasividad o resistencia frente al mundo, que las convierten en privilegiada atalaya para leer la realidad. El interés y la diversidad de los trabajos aquí reunidos en torno a la literatura (oral y escrita), pero también al cine, series de televisión, novela gráfica, pintura o fotografía corroboran los ecos, la pervivencia y la actualidad de esta tradición.

Panicum (Poaceae)
This work will be volume 124 in the Flora Neotropica Monograph book Series, Lawrence M. Kelly (Editor-in-Chief). Flora Neotropica volumes provide taxonomic treatments of plant groups or families growing in the Americas between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.

It also includes information on conservation, phylogenetic relationships, taxonomic history, ecology, cytology, and anatomy, among other topics. This is the first comprehensive volume on this topic since the 1920s and is lavishly illustrated with line drawings, black and white photographs, and distribution maps.
