Rare Earth Frontiers
"Rare Earth Frontiers is a timely text. As Klinger notes, rare earths are neither rare nor technically earths, but they are still widely believed to be both. Although her approach focuses on the human, or cultural, geography of rare earths mining, she does not ignore the geological occurrence of these mineral types, both on Earth and on the moon.... This volume is excellently organized, insightfully written, and extensively sourced."―Choice Drawing on ethnographic, archival, and interview data gathered in local languages and offering possible solutions to the problems it documents, this book examines the production of the rare earth frontier as a place, a concept, and a zone of contestatio...
Against Racism
Powerful narratives often describe Latin American nations as fundamentally mestizo. These narratives have hampered the acknowledgment of racism in the region, but recent multiculturalist reforms have increased recognition of Black and Indigenous identities and cultures. Multiculturalism may focus on identity and visibility and address more casual and social forms of racism, but can also distract attention from structural racism and racialized inequality, and constrain larger antiracist initiatives. Additionally, multiple understandings of how racism and antiracism fit into projects of social transformation make racism a complex and multifaceted issue. The essays in Against Racism examine actors in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico that move beyond recognition politics to address structural inequalities and material conflicts and build common ground with other marginalized groups. The organizations in this study advocate an approach to deep social structural transformation that is inclusive, fosters alliances, and is inspired by a radical imagination.
The Throes of Democracy
In the 1980s, Brazil emerged from two decades of military dictatorship and embarked on an experiment in full democracy for the first time in the nation's history Since then, Brazilians have sought to live up to the ideals of this experiment while negotiating dramatic economic and cultural transformations. In The Throes of Democracy Bryan McCann gives a panoramic view of this process, exploring the relationships between the rise of the political left, the escalation of urban violence, the agribusiness boom and the spread of pentecostal evangelization. Brazil remains a land marked by deep inequality, but in the last two decades the structure of that inequality has changed substantially. This is a country which remains an endlessly vital source of popular culture, now bubbling forth from different corners of the map. In explaining these transformations, this book provides a fascinating introduction to one of the 21st century's most significant countries.
Etnografías del siucidio en América del Sur

Fantasmas de palacio
"Escribir palabras para que sean dichas por terceros ha sido siempre un asunto secreto, o casi. Lo supo Cyrano, lo saben los compositores de baladas y lo saben los biógrafos anónimos. Escribir discursos no es la excepción. A través de pasillos, vaivenes públicos y tramas políticas de siete países, estas historias particulares, resultados de su propio contexto y época, nos dan en conjunto una idea general de aquello que constituye hacer comunicación política en América Latina con las particularidades específicas de la región. Este libro recoge las experiencias de quienes escribieron discursos a Vicente Fox, José Mujica, Michelle Bachelet, Juan Manuel Santos, Rafael Correa, Mauricio Macri y Lula da Silva, y persigue, a lo largo y ancho del continente, un misterio: quiénes son los fantasmas que escriben para los presidentes en América Latina, cómo llegan a hacerlo, de qué manera se organizan y cuál es el hilo invisible que los conecta. De estas experiencias comparadas, podemos colegir varios secretos de palacio y poner un primer peldaño para la discusión regional sobre el quehacer del escritor político."
Historias amerindias contemporáneas
Durante los últimos veinte años la literatura etnográfica ha reportado distintas formas de comprender, crear y experimentar la temporalidad y la historia en el continente americano. Para los Piro de la Amazonía peruana, el parentesco es su historia; para los Achuar de Ecuador, el olvido; para los Yoremem o Yaquis del noroeste mexicano, la ritualidad; para las poblaciones hispanas de Nuevo México, las danzas. A partir de ello, esta obra propone acercarse a las historias amerindias contemporáneas desde perspectivas y lugares antes no imaginados, con el fin de provocar encuentros inesperados. Su premisa es que aún es posible aprender de otras personas sobre la historia, para crear relaci...
