Book Description
Founded in 1921, the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection at the University of Texas at Austin has become one of the world’s great libraries for the study of Latin America, as well as the largest university library collection of Latin American materials in the United States. Encompassing all areas of the Western Hemisphere that were ever part of the Spanish or Portuguese empires, the Benson Collection documents Latin American history and culture from the first European contacts to the current activities of Latinas/os in the United States. Scholars, students, and members of the public from around the world regularly use the multifaceted, multimedia resources of the Benson. Showcasing the incredible depth, diversity, and history of the Benson Collection, A Library for the Americas presents rare books and manuscripts, maps, photographs, music, oral histories, art and objects dating from the early 1500s to the present. Images of and captions for these materials are paired with a series of essays and reflections by distinguished scholars of Latin American and Latina/o studies, who describe the role that the Benson Collection has played in the research and intellectual contributions that have defined their careers. As a whole, the book celebrates the remarkable place for learning that is the Benson Collection, while not shying away from larger questions about what it means to have a monumental library and archive devoted to Latin America in the United States.

Book Description
Jewish writing has only recently begun to be recognized as a major cultural phenomenon in Latin American literature. Nevertheless, the majority of students and even Latin American literary specialists, remain uninformed about this significant body of writing. This Dictionary is the first comprehensive bibliographical and critical source book on Latin American Jewish literature. It represents the research efforts of 50 scholars from the United States, Latin America, and Israel who are dedicated to the advancement of Latin American Jewish studies. An introduction by the editor is followed by entries on 118 authors that provide both biographical information and a critical summary of works. Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico-home to the largest Jewish communities in Latin America-are the countries with the greatest representation, but there are essays on writers from Venezuela, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Cuba.

Book Description
Pan de vida: Explorando la presencia de la Eucaristía en nuestras vidas, el padre Louis J. Cameli examina la creciente secularización de nuestra cultura y el descenso de la asistencia a la misa dominical, reflexionando profundamente sobre el papel que tiene la Eucaristía en la vida católica. Por lo mismo, el padre Cameli nos comparte su “autobiografía eucarística”, un relato muy personal y conmovedor sobre el rol de la Eucaristía en su vida, desde la niñez hasta la edad adulta. Después de relatar su “autobiografía eucarística”, el padre Cameli va más allá de su experiencia personal para meditar sobre lo que Jesús quiso entregarnos al darnos la Eucaristía, y lo hace colocándonos frente a las cuestiones importantes planteadas por Jesús y sus discípulos en el relato del capítulo sexto del evangelio según san Juan. A partir de allí, el padre Cameli se enfoca en el significado de la Eucaristía en la vida moderna, explorando cuestiones fundamentales de la vida humana como la vida y la muerte, la violencia, y la misma sexualidad con el lente de la Eucaristía. A lo largo de la exposición, los lectores encontrarán preguntas que les invitan y ayudan a hacer su propia reflexión y a compartirla con otras personas.

Book Description
The Sudarium of Oviedo throws new light on the last hours of Jesus of Nazareth. It provides a better understanding of the gospel John 20:5-7 and some characteristics of the Shroud of Turin that explain since when the use of the Sudarium is known. During the past few decades, those interested in the Shroud of Turin have also been eager to know what this book reveals about the Sudarium of Oviedo, because it reinforces the possibility that both cloths were used on the same Man. This book presents to English-speaking readers the research on the Sudarium of Oviedo, most of which has only been available in Spanish so far. It includes a thorough critical analysis and new unpublished studies. The bloodstained cloth is claimed to be a relic of Christ. This text discusses its trace through history, the many tests performed directly on it or on its samples, its devotional value, and its comparison with the Shroud of Turin.

Book Description
Siempre, el metro será blanco y no naranja como algunos suelen asimilarlo. Será blanco de historias, de fantasías, de interminables anécdotas en las que sólo, quienes hayan merodeado lo bastante en sus instalaciones, podrán discernir la confusión incipiente entre lo real o en su defecto, lo imaginario que igualmente llegará a ser ostensible en la medida que pasen las horas en sus inmediaciones... en su vientre. Cada estación de metro y cada vagón en las diversas metrópolis mundiales, tiene más historias que los millones de personas que transporta. Si sabemos que cada individuo tiene una leyenda o quizá dos... Los cuentos de este libro, son parte de esa historia. Vidas completas en el subterráneo, dan cuenta de ello...
