Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta Breve historia cultural de los mundos hispánicos está concebida y realizada como una ampliación y justificación de la memoria épica de los pueblos hispánicos. La memoria épica es lo que un pueblo sabe de sí mismo gracias al epos, a los poemas que sus primeros poetas antiguos recitaban y donde relataban los orígenes y las hazañas de los antepasados. El contenido de esos productos culturales es lo que el pueblo de cada país sabe de sí mismo, lo que sus hombres y mujeres viven y lo que le pueden contar a sus hijos, sus invitados, sus visitantes y sus turistas. Es también el subsuelo donde radican y de donde se nutren la lengua, las creencias, el sentimiento del propio ser y de la propia esencia, de la nación y de las regiones. Una historia cultural que se proponga ampliar y legitimar la memoria épica de los pueblos hispánicos es una obra que aspira a hacer algo más flexible y amplia esa memoria, aportando elementos nuevos, y a justificarla certificando la validez de sus contenidos. Vivimos en versiones de nosotros mismos, y aquéllos que tienen las versiones de nosotros mismos más luminosas y confortables, y en las que nos sentimos más a gusto, son esos a quienes llamamos amigos. Esta es una historia amigable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributors Immanuel Wallerstein, Enrique Dussel, Walter Mignolo, Agustin Lao, Lewis Gordon, James V. Fenelon, Roberto Hernandez, James Cohen, Santiago Slabosky, Susanne Jonas, and Thomas Reifer. By the mid-twenty-first century, white Euro-Americans will be a demographic minority in the United States and Latino/as will be the largest minority (25 percent). These changes bring about important challenges at the heart of the contemporary debates about political transformations in the United States and around the world. Latino/as are multiracial (Afro-latinos, Indo-latinos, Asian-latinos, and Euro-latinos), multi-ethnic, multireligious (Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, indigenous, and African spiritualities), and of varied legal status (immigrants, citizens, and illegal migrants). This collection addresses for the first time the potential of these diverse Latino/a spiritualities, origins, and statuses against the landscape of decolonization of the U.S. economic and cultural empire in the twenty-first century. Some authors explore the impact of Indo-latinos and Afro-latinos in the United States and others discuss the conflicting interpretations and political conflicts arising from the "Latinization" of the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume addresses the enslavement and experiences of Black Africans in Spain and the Spanish Caribbean, particularly La Española (or Hispaniola) and Puerto Rico, two of the earliest colonies. Spanning nearly four hundred years and rooted in extensive archival research, Transatlantic Bondage sheds light on a number of relatively underexamined topics in these locales, including the development and application of slavery laws, disobedience and its consequences, migration, gender, family, lifestyle, and community building among the free Black population and white allies. In bringing together new and recent work by leading scholars, including two essays translated into English here for the first time, the book is also a call for further study of slavery in the Spanish Caribbean and its impact on the region.

Book excerpt: Este volumen, compuesto por ocho ensayos y una suerte de epilogo dialogado con la escritora Maria Rosa Lojo, discute algunos de los ejes vertebradores de su obra: la conflictiva relacion con lo sagrado y su constante interpelacion, la memoria de la inmigracion, la presencia de figuras femeninas cuestionadoras del discurso masculino hegemonico o de otros personajes marginales que resignifican la historia oficial, los siempre cuestionados y cuestionables rasgos autobiograficos en su obra a partir de las figuras parentales o de una posible cartografia de la intimidad, la problematica identitaria a traves de los personajes que se ubican en un borde sospechoso entre dos mundos y el encuentro armonioso de diferentes esteticas, discursos y generos en el seno de sus obras.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition to democracy that followed the death of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco in 1975 was once hailed as a model of political transformation. But since the 2008 financial crisis it has come under intense scrutiny. Today, a growing divide exists between advocates of the Transition and those who see it as the source of Spain’s current socio-political bankruptcy. This book revisits the crucial period from 1962 to 1992, exposing the networks of art, media and power that drove the Transition and continue to underpin Spanish politics in the present. Drawing on rare archival materials and over three hundred interviews with politicians, artists, journalists and ordinary Spaniards, including former prime minister Felipe Gonzalez (1982–96), Following Franco unlocks the complex and often contradictory narratives surrounding the foundation of contemporary Spain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book demonstrate the importance of transatlantic and intra-American slave trafficking in the development of colonial Spanish America, highlighting the Spanish colonies’ previously underestimated significance within the broader history of the slave trade. Spanish America received African captives not only directly via the transatlantic slave trade but also from slave markets in the Portuguese, English, Dutch, French, and Danish Americas, ultimately absorbing more enslaved Africans than any other imperial jurisdiction in the Americas except Brazil. The contributors focus on the histories of slave trafficking to, within, and across highly diverse regions of Spanish America throughout the entire colonial period, with themes ranging from the earliest known transatlantic slaving voyages during the sixteenth century to the evolution of antislavery efforts within the Spanish empire. Students and scholars will find the comprehensive study and analysis in From the Galleons to the Highlands invaluable in examining the study of the slave trade to colonial Spanish America. Understanding Latin America demands dialogue, deep exploration, and frank discussion of key topics. Founded by Lyman L. Johnson in 1992 and edited since 2013 by Kris Lane, the Diálogos Series focuses on innovative scholarship in Latin American history and related fields. The series, the most successful of its type, includes specialist works accessible to a wide readership and a variety of thematic titles, all ideally suited for classroom adoption by university and college teachers.
