Book Description
"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review 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 140 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. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999.

The Friendly Liquidation of the Past
Author: Donna Lee Van CottPublisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 082297214X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Constitutional reform has been one of the most significant aspects of democratization in late twentieth century Latin America. In The Friendly Liquidation of the Past—one of the first texts to examine this issue comprehensively —Van Cott focuses on the efforts of Bolivia and Colombia to incorporate ethnic rights into their fragile democracies. In the1990s, political leaders and social movements in Bolivia and Colombia expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of democracy--its exclusionary nature, the distance and illegitimacy of the state, and the empty promise of citizenship. The highly symbolic act of constitution making elevated a public struggle for rights to the level of a discussion on the meaning of democracy and the nature of the state. Based on interviews with more than 100 participants in the reforms, Van Cott demonstrates how issues promoted by social movements—recognizing ethnic diversity, expanding political participation and improving representation, and creating spheres of cultural and territorial autonomy—were placed on the constitutional reform agenda and transformed through strategic interaction with political power-brokers into the nation’s highest law. The analysis follows each reform through five years of implementation to assess the early results of what Van Cott suggests is an emerging regional model of multicultural constitutionalism. The Friendly Liquidation of the Past fills an important gap in the study of ethnic politics and constitutional reform in the Andes, linking the literature on institutions and political reform to work in political theory on participatory democracy and multiculturalism.

Book Description
¿Cómo encontrar esa paz interior tan anhelada en un mundo que vive en un estado de guerra continuo donde el desacuerdo y la contienda son la orden del día? Sin contar además con los conflictos internos que llevamos dentro en nuestro paso por la vida. ¿Los mismos que nos roban ese descanso que tanto necesitamos? Esa paz, querido lector, está contenida en la persona de Jesús, llamado en su palabra el Príncipe de paz. Y es que la paz es un camino angosto donde no hay lugar para el pecado.En este libro comparto verdades que he descubierto a paso firme a través de mi búsqueda personal hacia la paz mental y espiritual. Son principios sencillos los que te llevarán a ese gran tesoro, pero cabe la pena señalar que siendo la paz un fruto del espíritu y un don de Dios, nos es dada en el momento que permitimos a Jesús entrar en nuestro corazón. Tenemos que aprender a buscarla y a cultivarla, dejándola aflorar en nuestra vida, pues ya nos ha sido dada.Descubrirás al fin no solo como experimentar la paz con Dios, sino contigo mismo y con los hombres. Jesús dijo: "Mi paz os dejo, mi paz os doy, no como el mundo te la da, yo te la doy."

Contesting Citizenship in Latin America
Author: Deborah J. YasharPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781139443807
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Indigenous people in Latin America have mobilized in unprecedented ways - demanding recognition, equal protection, and subnational autonomy. These are remarkable developments in a region where ethnic cleavages were once universally described as weak. Recently, however, indigenous activists and elected officials have increasingly shaped national political deliberations. Deborah Yashar explains the contemporary and uneven emergence of Latin American indigenous movements - addressing both why indigenous identities have become politically salient in the contemporary period and why they have translated into significant political organizations in some places and not others. She argues that ethnic politics can best be explained through a comparative historical approach that analyzes three factors: changing citizenship regimes, social networks, and political associational space. Her argument provides insight into the fragility and unevenness of Latin America's third wave democracies and has broader implications for the ways in which we theorize the relationship between citizenship, states, identity, and social action.

The Routledge History of World Peace since 1750
Author: Christian Philip PetersonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351653342
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 642
Book Description
The Routledge History of World Peace since 1750 examines the varied and multifaceted scholarship surrounding the topic of peace and engages in a fruitful dialogue about the global history of peace since 1750. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book includes contributions from authors working in fields as diverse as history, philosophy, literature, art, sociology, and Peace Studies. The book crosses the divide between historical inquiry and Peace Studies scholarship, with traditional aspects of peace promotion sitting alongside expansive analyses of peace through other lenses, including specific regional investigations of the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and other parts of the world. Divided thematically into six parts that are loosely chronological in structure, the book offers a broad overview of peace issues such as peacebuilding, state building, and/or conflict resolution in individual countries or regions, and indicates the unique challenges of achieving peace from a range of perspectives. Global in scope and supported by regional and temporal case studies, the volume is an essential resource for educators, activists, and policymakers involved in promoting peace and curbing violence as well as students and scholars of Peace Studies, history, and their related fields.
