Heavy Metal Music in Latin America
In Heavy Metal Music in Latin America: Perspectives from the Distorted South, the editors bring together scholars engaged in the study of heavy metal music in Latin America to reflect on the heavy metal genre from a regional perspective. The contributors’ southern voices diversify metal scholarship in the global north. An extreme musical genre for an extreme region, the contributors explore how issues like colonialism, dictatorships, violence, ethnic extermination and political persecution have shaped heavy metal music in Latin America, and how music has helped shape Latin American culture and politics.
"Patrones" y campesinos
El presente informe del Centro Nacional de Memoria Histórica se centra en la relación conflicto armado - problema agrario en el departamento del Valle del Cauca, con especial interés en temas como el despojo de tierras, los cambios en la estructura agraria y los efectos que éste ha ejercido sobre el movimiento campesino y las organizaciones sociales campesinas. El Valle del Cauca, por su ubicación geográfica, es un punto neurálgico de conexión con el Pacífico, el Eje Cafetero y el centro del país. Es un departamento que ha sufrido durante décadas por cuenta de la violencia entre liberales y conservadores, del confitico armado interno y del surgimiento del fenómeno del narcotráfico y sus aparatos armados. Este texto aborda todas esas violencias, así como factores estructurales en materia de propiedad y tenencia de la tierra, y las vocaciones agrícolas de la zona plana y la cordillera.

Lessons on Being Tenderheaded
In Janae Johnson's debut poetry collection, the concept of being tenderheaded is less about Black hair; more how we are taught to disguise pain through suppression of macro and micro traumas. What began as a book of poetry about women's basketball transformed into a coming-of-age story centering Black queer masculinity, emotional restoration and belonging. From lyrically experimental to personified prose, each poem encourages humor to rise after an eight hour hair appointment and the ultimate decision to wear a ponytail.
Design of Hybrid Molecules for Drug Development
Design of Hybrid Molecules for Drug Development reviews the principles, advantages, and limitations involved with designing these groundbreaking compounds. Beginning with an introduction to hybrid molecule design and background as to their need, the book goes on to explore a range of important hybrids, with hybrids containing natural products, molecules containing NO- and H2S-donors, dual-acting compounds acting as receptor ligands and enzyme inhibitors, and the design of photoresponsive drugs all discussed. Drawing on practical case studies, the hybridization of molecules for development as treatments for a number of key diseases is then outlined, including the design of hybrids for Alzheim...
Comics and Memory in Latin America
Latin American comics and graphic novels have a unique history of addressing controversial political, cultural, and social issues. This volume presents new perspectives on how comics on and from Latin America both view and express memory formation on major historical events and processes. The contributors, from a variety of disciplines including literary theory, cultural studies, and history, explore topics including national identity construction, narratives of resistance to colonialism and imperialism, the construction of revolutionary traditions, and the legacies of authoritarianism and political violence. The chapters offer a background history of comics and graphic novels in the region, and survey a range of countries and artists such as Joaquin Salvador Lavado (a.k.a Quino), Hector G. Oesterheld, and Juan Acevedo. They also highlight the unique ability of this art and literary form to succinctly render memory. In sum, this volume offers in-depth analysis of an understudied, yet key literary genre in Latin American memory studies and documents the essential role of comics during the transition from dictatorship to democracy.
