Download or read book In the Shadow of the State written by Nicola Miller and published by Verso. This book was released on 1999 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlos Fuentes once observed that to be a Spanish American intellectual was to fulfill the roles, by default, of "a tribune, a member of parliament, a labor leader, a journalist, a redeemer of his society." Such statements reflect the view that the region's intellectuals have often acted as substitutes for the structures of a civil society. An alternative view casts Spanish American intellectuals in a far more reactionary role. Here, it is suggested that the elaboration of inert popular stereotypes such as the stoic Indian and the heroic gaucho has resulted in an infinite postponement of authentic cultural identity, and a perpetuation, aided by intellectuals, of a social order in which popular demands were either ignored or repressed. In the context of this debate, this book explores the roles played by intellectuals in the creation of popular national identities in twentieth-century Spanish America, and seeks to identify the factors which lie behind two such contrasting evaluations of their contribution. Ranging across the intellectual centers of Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Mexico and Peru, it illustrates vividly the diversity and evolution of intellectual life in the region. Particular attention is paid to the idea of peripheral modernity and its influence on intellectual activity, as well as to the contributions made by intellectuals to the three major strands in debates on popular national identity: bi-culturalism, anti-imperialism and history.
Download or read book Latino Identity in Contemporary America written by Martin Bulmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection brings together original research papers that explore an important aspect of race and ethnic studies, namely the processes that are shaping the making of Latina and Latino identities in contemporary America. This is a question that has received much attention in the USA over the past decade, and these papers make an original contribution to these debates. Much of this attention towards Latino/a communities in the USA can be seen as the outcome of public debates about the growth of these communities over the past three decades, and the consequences of this growth for social and political change. The papers in this collection highlight some of the key facets of contemporary research in this field. As original pieces of research they are at the forefront of current debates about Latino/a identities in contemporary America, and they provide research based insights into the changing experiences of these communities. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
Download or read book Hispanicism and Early US Literature written by John C. Havard and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Havard terms the discourse emerging from these reflections "Hispanicism." This discourse was used to portray the dominant viewpoint of classical liberalism that propounded an American exceptionalism premised on the idea that Hispanophone peoples were comparatively lacking the capacity for self-determination, hence rationalizing imperialism. On the conservative side were warnings against progress through conquest. Havard delves into selected works of early national and antebellum literature on Spain and Spanish America to illuminate US national identity. Poetry and novels by Joel Barlow, James Fenimore Cooper, and Herman Melville are mined to further his arguments regarding identity, liberalism, and conservatism. Understudied authors Mary Peabody Mann and José Antonio Saco are held up to contrast American and Cuban views on Hispanicism and Cuban annexation as well as to develop the focus on nationality and ideology via differences in views on liberalism.

Download or read book Latino Spin written by Arlene Dávila and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2010 Distinguished Book Award in Latino Studies from the Latin American Studies Association Illegal immigrant, tax burden, job stealer. Patriot, family oriented, hard worker, model consumer. Ever since Latinos became the largest minority in the U.S. they have been caught between these wildly contrasting characterizations leaving us to wonder: Are Latinos friend or foe? Latino Spin cuts through the spin about Latinos’ supposed values, political attitudes, and impact on U.S. national identity to ask what these caricatures suggest about Latinos’ shifting place in the popular and political imaginary. Noted scholar Arlene Dávila illustrates the growing consensus among pundits, advocates, and scholars that Latinos are not a social liability, that they are moving up and contributing, and that, in fact, they are more American than “the Americans.” But what is at stake in such a sanitized and marketable representation of Latinidad? Dávila follows the spin through the realm of politics, think tanks, Latino museums, and urban planning to uncover whether they effectively challenge the growing fear over Latinos’ supposedly dreadful effect on the “integrity” of U.S. national identity. What may be some of the intended or unintended consequences of these more marketable representations in regard to current debates over immigration? With particular attention to what these representations reveal about the place and role of Latinos in the contemporary politics of race, Latino Spin highlights the realities they skew and the polarization they effect between Latinos and other minorities, and among Latinos themselves along the lines of citizenship and class. Finally, by considering Latinos in all their diversity, including their increasing financial and geographic disparities, Dávila can present alternative and more empowering representations of Latinidad to help attain true political equity and intraracial coalitions.

Download or read book Hispanicism written by John C. Havard and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thinking past the triptych of Native, African, and Anglo-American identities that dominate studies of identity in U.S. literature, this project examines the role Spain and Spanish America play in the formation of a U.S. literary self-image. In doing so, it theorizes "Hispanicism," a discourse that racialized Hispanophone peoples as despotic and as lacking energetic individualism. As such, Hispanicism construed Hispanophone peoples as incapable of liberal self-government while contrastingly constructing Anglo-American U.S. identity as bound to liberalism. Attending to Hispanicism thus facilitates exploring how liberalism?traditionally viewed as founded on universal principles?has buttressed imperial hierarchies of race and nation. Yet despite contributing to national chauvinism, Hispanicism manifests a fear that the United States will fail to self-differentiate from Hispanic difference. The project thus locates the transnational as a conflict in U.S. identity. Chapter One examines Joel Barlow's nationalist Columbian epics to establish how attitudes towards Spanish colonial violence structured the rise of U.S. nationhood. When read alongside Barlow's interest in appropriating Spanish territories, the poems reveal expansion into Spanish America as key to U.S. identity. Chapter Two takes up Mary Peabody Mann's Juanita, an excoriation of Cuban slavery. Here, uncertainty emerges: While Mann's representation of Cuban slaveholding hews to conventions regarding Hispanic despotism, her understanding of U.S.-Hispanic difference is troubled by U.S. slavery. Chapter Three reinterprets Herman Melville's "Benito Cereno" as a critique of Hispanicism, which Melville cannily ventriloquizes through his protagonist Amasa Delano. By showing how Hispanicism blinds Delano to the savagery he shares with Cereno, Melville deconstructs U.S. identity formation. Chapter Four examines John Rollin Ridge's Joaqun̕ Murieta, a sensation novel about U.S.-Mexican racial conflicts that follow the U.S.-Mexican War. The chapter demonstrates Hispanicism's significance to a text usually thought of in terms of relations between Anglo- and Native Americans because of Ridge's Cherokee ancestry. Chapter Five analyzes Cuban essayist Jos ̌Antonio Saco's anti-annexationism, which posits that Cuba must maintain self-determination by preserving Cuban difference, and vice-versa. The chapter reveals how Hispanic authors reappropriated Hispanicism to reveal inconsistencies in U.S. Hispanicist imperialism. The dissertation concludes with a coda on the mature Hispanicism of 1898 and the Spanish-American War."--Pages v-vi.

Download or read book State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain Volume 1 written by Miguel A. Centeno and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary outcome of those state and nation-building projects.
