Neruda
A biography of the noted Chilean poet.
After Exile
None
Vicente Huidobro - in Perpetual Motion. A Biography
Volodia Teitelboim's impressionistic biography of Huidobro has the advantage of being written by someone who actually knew him, and many of the other significant figures in Chilean poetry of the 1930s and later.
Attitudes of the Chilean Right toward Jews
This is the first book in English to discuss the changing attitudes of the Chilean Right toward Jewish immigrants and the State of Israel from the 1930s onwards. Jewish Chileans have ascended rapidly from the status of undesirable immigrants to middle and upper-middle class, facing less obstacles than their Argentine coreligionists. Particular emphasis is given to the failed struggle to extradite war criminal Walther Rauff and to the years of the military dictatorship headed by General Augusto Pinochet. By the 1970s, Israel seemed a strong pro-Western barrier to the expansion of communism and Islamic fundamentalism.
If this be Treason
The long-awaited memoir and meditation on the art of translating by the most acclaimed American translator of Latin American literature.
Reconciliation, Nations and Churches in Latin America
This book examines the recent phenomenon in Latin America of national Truth and Reconciliation commissions. Few studies have examined the role of Churches or religion in political processes that proclaim valued theological terms as their agenda - truth, forgiveness, and reconciliation. This book questions the role of religion, specifically of established Churches. The impact of such reconciliation commissions on Indigenous Native Americans is also examined, as is the role of women and how both commissions and Churches or religions were challenged by their experiences. The contributors offer differing perspectives on one or more national truth and reconciliation processes and thus offer a collection that serves as valuable source for the disciplines of Religious Studies, Ethics, Theology, Political Science, Social Sciences and Women's Studies.
South Asian Writers, Latin American Literature, and the Rise of Global English
South Asian writers reference Latin American literature to identify against the Anglophone globe, even as they circulate within it.
Cuba After the Cold War
Ten original essays by an international team of scholars specializing in Cuba, the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and Latin America focus on the fall of communism in Europe and the transition to a market economy. Major themes of this study are the impact of the USSR's collapse on Cuba, how the historic events in Europe have affected the Central and South American Left, their implications to Cuba, Cuba's policies for confronting the crisis, and potential scenarios for the political and economic transformation of Cuba.
