Justicia ancestral en los consejos comunitarios del Norte del Cauca: comportamiento durante la pandemia
Los cierres que tuvo la administración de justicia estatal como consecuencia de las medidas de aislamiento derivadas del COVID-19 generaron múltiples retos para la resolución de conflictos o necesidades jurídicas a nivel global. Esto se sumó a la existencia de desigualdades y racismo estructural, entre muchos otros factores, que le han impedido a las personas acceder a la justicia en condiciones de igualdad, especialmente en Colombia. A pesar de esto, los pueblos étnicos han mantenido sus prácticas y saberes ancestrales en materia de justicia, lo que le ha permitido a sus miembros acudir a las autoridades de sus comunidades y no a la justicia estatal, como es el caso de los consejos c...
Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America
An understanding of law and its efficacy in Latin America demands concepts distinct from the hegemonic notions of "rule of law" which have dominated debates on law, politics and society, and that recognize the diversity of situations and contexts characterizing the region. The Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America presents cutting-edge analysis of the central theoretical and applied areas of enquiry in socio-legal studies in the region by leading figures in the study of law and society from Latin America, North America and Europe. Contributors argue that scholarship about Latin America has made vital contributions to longstanding and emerging theoretical and methodological d...
Latin America's New Historical Novel
Beginning with the 1979 publication of Alejo Carpentier's El arpa y la sombra, the New Historical Novel has become the dominant genre within Latin American fiction. In this at-times tongue-in-cheek postmodern study, Seymour Menton explores why the New Historical Novel has achieved such popularity and offers discerning readings of numerous works. Menton argues persuasively that the proximity of the Columbus Quincentennial triggered the rise of the New Historical Novel. After defining the historical novel in general, he identifies the distinguishing features of the New Historical Novel. Individual chapters delve deeply into such major works as Mario Vargas Llosa's La guerra del fin del mundo, Abel Posse's Los perros del paraíso, Gabriel García Márquez's El general en su laberinto, and Carlos Fuentes' La campaña. A chapter on the Jewish Latin American novel focuses on several works that deserve greater recognition, such as Pedro Orgambide's Aventuras de Edmund Ziller en tierras del Nuevo Mundo, Moacyr Scliar's A estranha nação de Rafael Mendes, and Angelina Muñiz's Tierra adentro.

Handbook of Latin American Studies
Contains scholarly evaluations of books and book chapters as well as conference papers and articles published worldwide in the field of Latin American studies. Covers social sciences and the humanities in alternate years.
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. 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 research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music
The Politics of Clientelism
"In Latin America the state is the prime regulator, coordinator, and pace-setter of the entire national system, the apex of the pyramid from which patronage, wealth, power, and programs flow. The state bears responsibility for the realization of civic needs, providing goods and services to each citizen. Doing so requires the exercise and maintenance of social and political control. It is John Martz's contention that clientelism underlines the fundamental character of Latin American social and political life. As the modernizing bureaucratic state has developed in Latin America, there has been a concurrent shifting away from clientelistic relationships. Yet in one form or another, political cl...
Las reparaciones, ¿es imposible pagarlas?
El derecho a la reparación para víctimas de violaciones a los derechos humanos es uno de los pilares de la justicia transicional, y es un principio reconocido ampliamente tanto por la literatura como por estándares de derechos humanos. A pesar de su importancia, los programas administrativos de reparación suelen ser considerados políticas con altos costos y poco efectivas. Aún así, la literatura sobre reparaciones ha dejado de lado la pregunta por la viabilidad financiera de estos programas. Buscando acercarnos a esta pregunta, este texto aporta al análisis sobre la financiación de los programas administrativos de reparación, en particular la reparación de la violencia sexual, a p...
Derecho a la atención en salud para las personas migrantes en situación irregular en Colombia
Cerca de ocho millones de personas han salido de Venezuela en los últimos ocho años a causa de la emergencia humanitaria compleja por la que atraviesa este país y el 37% de esta población se encuentra en Colombia, lo que lo convierte en el principal país receptor. Las personas migrantes llegan a Colombia con una serie de necesidades básicas insatisfechas relacionadas con sus derechos fundamentales, como la salud, la alimentación y la educación, y una vez en Colombia siguen enfrentando barreras para que se les garanticen sus derechos. Estas barreras se agravan en el caso de las personas que han tenido que migrar informalmente y que no pueden acceder a un estatus migratorio regular y e...
