Puerto Rican Pioneers in Jazz, 1900–1939
Musicians from Puerto Rico played a substantial role in the development of jazz during the early years of the twentieth century, before and during the years surrounding the Harlem Renaissance. These jazz pioneers, including instrumentalists, composers, and vocalists, were products of the Puerto Rican diaspora in the United States and contributed to the early history of this uniquely American genre. In this study, author Basilio Serrano provides a detailed look at the lives of these men and women and their contributions to the development of jazz and Latin jazz. Serrano explores how the music of Puerto Rico helped to shape them and offers a comprehensive review of the bands in which they play...
Identidad autorial femenina y comunicación epistolar
La participación de las mujeres en la cultura ha estado condicionada históricamente por factores muy diversos y complejos, literarios, pero también psicológicos, sociológicos, religiosos y político-económicos. A ello se suma la desatención de la historiografía, monopolizada por la perspectiva androcéntrica, que ha determinado la “invisibilidad” de la mujer en la historia cultural española. Consecuencia de ello es una identidad autorial problemática o problematizada, tanto en la representación textual que las escritoras hacen de sí mismas como en la percepción y testimonio que los demás agentes del campo literario tienen sobre la autoría femenina. Este volumen analiza la identidad de las escritoras a través del discurso epistolar desde una perspectiva diacrónica, que atiende a la imagen autorial femenina en su devenir histórico y en su contexto europeo.

The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and...
The Normalization of the Radical Right
Radical-right behavior is increasing across Western democracies, often very quickly. Previous research has shown, however, that political attitudes and preferences do not change as quickly. Vicente Valentim argues that the role of social norms as drivers of political behavior is crucial for understanding these patterns. Building on a norms-based theory of political supply and demand, he argues that growing radical-right behavior is driven by individuals who already had radical-right views, but who did not act on those views because they thought that they were socially unacceptable. If these voters do not express their preferences, politicians can underestimate how much latent support there i...
