Social Sciences
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. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology

Young People and Everyday Peace
Young People and Everyday Peace is grounded in the stories of young people who live in Los Altos de Cazucá, an informal peri-urban community in Soacha, to the south of Colombia’s capital Bogotá. The occupants of this community have fled the armed conflict and exist in a state of marginalisation and social exclusion amongst ongoing violences conducted by armed gangs and government forces. Young people negotiate these complexities and offer pointed critiques of national politics as well as grounded aspirations for the future. Colombia’s protracted conflict and its effects on the population raise many questions about how we think about peacebuilding in and with communities of conflict-aff...
Campos de Dios y campos del hombre
La temática central de este libro son las actividades económicas y políticas de los jesuitas en los llanos del Casanare, Meta y Arauca, con énfasis en el complejo económico y administrativo allí formado a partir de las misiones, pueblos y haciendas, y en el control geopolítico que tuvieron los jesuitas en esta zona, en dos momentos 1625-1628 y 1659-1767, teniendo muy en cuenta la historia de la Compañía desde su fundación en el siglo xvi hasta la expulsión en el siglo XVIII, para terminar con el destino de esas propiedades hasta 1810. Este trabajo tiene como base la historiografía oficial, de la época y reciente, de la Compañía de Jesús; de las obras escritas por historiadores y antropólogos; así como de una buena cantidad de fuentes primarias.
Santa Bárbara de Las Cabezas
Santa Bárbara de Las Cabezas, ubicada al sur de lo que hoy es el departamento del Cesar, fue la mayor hacienda ganadera en toda la región, tanto por extensión como por el número de reses que albergaba. Por más de dos siglos perteneció a los descendientes de una misma familia y durante ese tiempo fue impactada por los grandes hitos históricos y económicos de la región, tales como la Independencia, el auge exportador a Panamá y las islas del Caribe a comienzos del siglo XX, las tomas de tierras por los campesinos a partir de la década de 1970 y la fuerte presencia de la guerrilla en las zonas rurales desde la década de 1980. Este libro reconstruye el pasado de esta importante hacienda ganadera y explica las razones por las que debe ocupar un lugar central en la historiografía del Caribe colombiano.
