Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este libro, Carlos Piñeiro Iñíguez vuelca la pasión de toda una vida. Habiendo residido, en razón de sus actividades diplomáticas, en diferentes países de América Latina, la problemática de la región no dejó de ser el centro de sus preocupaciones y de sus estudios. Es ya autor de otros trabajos publicados sobre el área, especialmente acerca del mundo andino, Bolivia y Ecuador. Además, produjo un ensayo sobre la figura del brasileño Gilberto Freyre y el Lusotropicalismo, un libro de ensayos sobre Pedro Henríquez Ureña y un estudio sobre Raúl Prebisch y su influencia en el pensamiento político-económico de América Latina. Ahora completa el ciclo con estas páginas, inspiradas en los más destacados pensadores y analistas de la sociedad y la política latinoamericana, que han contribuido al conocimiento de nuestra realidad durante el siglo XX. Observadores y actores a la vez, en definitiva todos han influido, directa o indirectamente sobre lo sucedido en aquellos dramáticos años. A estas figuras se las puede considerar desde dos perspectivas. Por un lado, analizando lo valioso, original y creativo que aportan sus ideas, así como la aplicabilidad comparativa a la realidad de su tiempo y del actual. Pero también hay que comprenderlos como productos y productores de sus sociedades. Muchos tienen responsabilidad, por lo bueno o lo mato que nos ha ocurrido. En todos los casos es esencial conocer sus ideas, porque sobre ellas es que estamos construyendo, conscientemente o no, lo nuevo. Encontrar en un mismo volumen a tanta gente que sintió a la América Latina como propia, es un verdadero privilegio. Esta lectura, con realismo y sin hagiografía, seguramente afinará nuestra visión, a menudo tan distorsionada, sobre lo que ocurre o puede llegar a ocurrir en la parte del mundo en que nos ha tocado vivir.

Download or read book El pensamiento filos fico latinoamericano del Caribe y latino 1300 2000 written by Enrique Dussel, Eduardo Mendieta, Carmen Bohórquez and published by Siglo XXI. This book was released on 2009 with total page 1112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra fue proyectada, más que como un libro, como el inicio de un movimiento filosófico continental. Es decir, los autores de las contribuciones toman conciencia de que la tarea que han asumido es de tal envergadura que no pueden sino cumplirla parcialmente. Los trabajos a lo largo y ancho de toda la región latinoamericana sobrepasan a los especialistas de la historia o de temas expuestos en el orden nacional. Esto no se logra en corto tiempo, exige años de perseverancia en la que los autores adquieren conciencia de los límites de la presente empresa. Por ello, mucho más que el lector son los mismos editores y autores de esta obra los que tienen conciencia de que sólo se ha iniciado la extracción de un precioso metal de una rica mina casi inexplorada en su conjunto.
Download or read book The Argentine Folklore Movement written by Oscar Chamosa and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscar Chamosa brings forth the compelling story of an important but often overlooked component of the formation of popular nationalism in Latin America: the development of the Argentine folklore movement in the first part of the twentieth century. This movement involved academicians studying the culture of small farmers and herders of mixed indigenous and Spanish descent in the distant valleys of the Argentine northwest, as well as artists and musicians who took on the role of reinterpreting these local cultures for urban audiences of mostly European descent. Oscar Chamosa combines intellectual history with ethnographic and sociocultural analysis to reconstruct the process by which mestizo culture—in Argentina called criollo culture—came to occupy the center of national folklore in a country that portrayed itself as the only white nation in South America. The author finds that the conservative plantation owners—the “sugar elites”—who exploited the criollo peasants sponsored the folklore movement that romanticized them as the archetypes of nationhood. Ironically, many of the composers and folk singers who participated in the landowner-sponsored movement adhered to revolutionary and reformist ideologies and denounced the exploitation to which those criollo peasants were subjected. Chamosa argues that, rather than debilitating the movement, these opposing and contradictory ideologies permitted its triumph and explain, in part, the enduring romanticizing of rural life and criollo culture, essential components of Argentine nationalism. The book not only reveals the political motivations of culture in Argentina and Latin America but also has implications for understanding the articulation of local culture with national politics and entertainment markets that characterizes contemporary cultural processes worldwide today.

Download or read book Untold Stories of the Spanish Civil War written by Raanan Rein and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first scholarly volume to offer an insight into the less known stories of women, children, and international volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Special attention is given to volunteers of different historical experiences, especially Jews, and voices from less researched countries in the context of the Spanish war, such as Palestine and Turkey. Of an interdisciplinary nature, this volume brings together historians and literary scholars from different countries. Their research is based on newly found primary sources in both national and private archives, as well as on post-essentialist methodological insights for women’s history, Jewish history, and studies on belonging. By bringing together a group of emerging and senior scholars from different countries, we highlight the polyphony of voices of diverse individuals drawn into the Spanish Civil War. Contributors to this volume have explored new or little researched primary sources found in archives and documentary centers, including papers held by relatives of the people we study. The volume is aimed at both scholarly and non-scholarly public, including any readers interested in the Spanish Civil War, twentieth-century European history, Jewish studies, women’s history, or anti-Fascism. The volume can be used in both undergraduate college courses and in postgraduate university seminars.
Download or read book Fe y Desplazamiento written by Christopher M. Hays and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante décadas, la nación de Colombia ha sufrido el flagelo del desplazamiento forzado debido al conflicto armado, lo cual ha dejado más de ocho millones sin hogar y sin tierra. Para responder ante esta crisis, los teólogos de la Fundación Universitaria Seminario Bíblico de Colombia crearon una metodología—la investigación-acción misional—a fin de entender el fenómeno del desplazamiento forzado, movilizar las iglesias del país y así fomentar la recuperación holística de las víctimas. Se involucraron docenas de estudiosos y profesionales de cuatro continentes, además de coinvestigadores seleccionados de las mismas comunidades desplazadas. La investigación abarcó los campos de la teología, la economía, la política, la pedagogía, la sociología y naturalmente la teología. El fruto de esta colaboración innovadora fue una intervención llamada Fe y Desplazamiento, la cual se ha implementado en docenas de comunidades a lo largo del país. Este libro recopila sus hallazgos y aprendizajes, describiendo el potencial de la metodología de investigación-acción misional y demostrando el poder de la investigación teológica interdisciplinar, puesta al servicio de la misión de la iglesia local.
Download or read book Postcolonial Approaches to Latin American Children s Literature written by Ann González and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume González explores how the effects of a traumatic colonial experience are (re)presented to Latin American children today, almost two centuries after the dismantling of colonialism proper. Central to this study is the argument that the historical constraints of colonialism, neocolonialism, and postcolonialism have generated certain repeating themes and literary strategies in children’s literature throughout the Spanish-speaking Americas. From the outset of Spanish domination, fundamental tensions emerged between the colonizers and native groups that still exist to this day. Rather than a felicitous mixing of these two opposing groups, the mestizo is caught between contrasting worldviews, contending explanations of reality, and different values, beliefs, and epistemologies (that is, different ways of seeing and knowing). Postcolonial subjects experience these contending cultural beliefs and practices as a double bind, a no-win situation, in which they feel pressured by mutually exclusive expectations and imperatives. Latin American mestizos, therefore, are inevitably conflicted. Despite the vastness of the geography in question and the innumerable variations in regional histories, oral traditions, and natural settings, these contradictory demands create a pervasive dynamic that penetrates the very fabric of society, showing up intentionally or not in the stories passed from generation to generation as well as in new stories written or adapted for Spanish-speaking children. The goal of this study, therefore, is to examine a variety of children’s texts from the region to determine how national and hemispheric perceptions of reality, identity, and values are passed to the next generation. This book will appeal to scholars in the fields of Latin American literary and cultural studies, children’s literature, postcolonial studies, and comparative literature.
Download or read book Latin America s Democratic Crusade written by Allen Wells and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By emphasizing Latin American reformers’ decades-long struggle to defeat authoritarianism, this transnational history challenges the timeworn Cold War paradigm and recasts the region’s political evolution Scholars persist in framing the Cold War as a battle between left and right, one in which the Global South is cast as either witting or unwitting proxies of Washington and Moscow. What if the era is told from the perspective of the many who preferred reform to revolution? Scholars have routinely neglected, dismissed, or caricatured moderate politicians. In this book, Allen Wells argues that until the Cuban Revolution, the struggle was not between capitalism and communism—that was Washington’s abiding preoccupation—but between democracy and dictatorship. Beginning in the 1920s, the fight against authoritarianism was contested on multiple fronts—political, ideological, and cultural—taking on the dimensions of a political crusade. Convinced that despots represented an existential threat, reformers declared that no civilian government was safe until the cancer of dictatorship was excised from the hemisphere. Dictators retaliated, often with deadly results, exporting strategies that had been honed at home to guarantee their political survival. Grafted onto this war without borders was a belated Cold War, with all its political convulsions, the aftershocks of which are still felt today.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook on Native American Justice Issues written by Laurence Armand French and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native Americans are disproportionately represented as offenders in the U.S. criminal justice system. Routledge Handbook on Native American Justice Issues is an authoritative volume that provides an overview of the state of American Indigenous populations and their contact with justice concerns and the criminal justice system. The volume covers the history and origins of Indian Country in America; continuing controversies regarding treaties; unique issues surrounding tribal law enforcement; the operation of tribal courts and corrections, including the influence of Indigenous restorative justice practices; the impact of native religions and customs; youth justice issues, including educational practices and gaps; women’s justice issues; and special circumstances surrounding healthcare for Indians, including the role substance abuse plays in contributing to criminal justice problems. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars – many of them Native Americans – that explore key issues fundamental to understanding the relationships between Native peoples and contemporary criminal justice, editor Laurence Armand French draws on more than 40 years of experience with Native American individuals and groups to provide contextual material that incorporates criminology, sociology, anthropology, cultural psychology, and history to give readers a true picture of the wrongs perpetrated against Native Americans and their effects on the current operation of Native American justice. This compilation analyzes the nature of justice for Native Americans, including unique and emerging problems, theoretical issues, and policy implications. It is a valuable resource for all scholars with an interest in Native American culture and in the analysis and rectification of the criminal justice system’s disparate impact on people of color.
