Book Description
A Place in Politics is a thorough reinterpretation of the politics and political culture of the Brazilian state of São Paulo between the 1890s and the 1930s. The world’s foremost coffee-producing region from the outset of this period and home to more than six million people by 1930, São Paulo was an economic and demographic giant. In an era marked by political conflict and dramatic social and cultural change in Brazil, nowhere were the conflicts as intense or changes more dramatic than in São Paulo. The southeastern state was the site of the country’s most important political developments, from the contested presidential campaign of 1909–10 to the massive military revolt of 1924. Drawing on a wide array of source materials, James P. Woodard analyzes these events and the republican political culture that informed them. Woodard’s fine-grained political history proceeds chronologically from the final years of the nineteenth century, when São Paulo’s leaders enjoyed political preeminence within the federal system codified by the Constitution of 1891, through the mass mobilization of 1931–32, in which São Paulo’s people marched, rioted, and eventually took up arms against the national government in what was to be Brazil’s last great regionalist revolt. In taking to the streets in the name of their state, constitutionalism, and the “civilization” that they identified with both, the people of São Paulo were at once expressing their allegiance to elements of a regionally distinct political culture and converging on a broader, more participatory public sphere that had arisen amid the political conflicts of the preceding decades.

Reflections Behind the Retina is an account of actual events during the civil war in El Salvador. A series of short stories records the political restrictions and rules of engagement placed on the U.S. military, as well as the dangers faced from the Salvadoran left and right political camps. The official denial by the United States government of the combat role and deaths of U.S. military personnel is exposed throughout the text. A brief Salvadoran military history prepares the reader for what follows. Except for national leaders, the names of the characters in the text have been changed.

Book Description
With the death of his father, Sylvestre Carreon plans to rebel against everything his name stands for. He wants out of politics. Except that the incumbent President of the Philippines is hell-bent in crucifying him being the scion of the wealthiest political dynasty in the Republic. Sylvestre's only hope is to hide under the mantle of immunity--by becoming the next President. Burdened with a name synonymous with the words "traditional politician", Sylvestre needs to relaunch the Carreon brand if he wants to win. And bury a secret his family has been hiding his entire life. Once the most expensive whore in the history of Philippine advertising, Matias Fabula is now nothing but a washed-up metalhead who self-medicates with Valium chased by Jack Daniel's to silence the voices he is hearing. Voices that could keep his independent agency alive by helping him secure another client. When the agency lands its biggest account to date in the name of Sylvestre Carreon, Matias is faced with a dilemma he thought he would never have to face in all his years of making challenger brands become market leaders. As the election nears, Kristin Rustia, the head of the Communist Party, believes that one of the longest insurgency in the world should be brought to an end. That is, by starting a bloody revolution unlike the farce that is EDSA. But first she needs some funding so she can arm her comrades and surround the city from the countryside. Thankfully, revolutionary taxes are due from the presidential candidates. She can't wait to collect from the biggest spender of them all, Sylvestre Carreon. And settle an issue that made her the insurgent that she is. Subversivo, Inc. is a literary novel with an unexpected but welcome element of speculative fiction. Presenting a unique view of contemporary Philippine society, it is truly worthy of the Grand Prize in the 63rd Palanca Awards for Literature.

Book Description
This book is an extraordinarily rich account of the social, political, cultural, and religious relationships between parish priests and their parishioners in colonial Mexico. It thus explores a wide range of issues, from competing interpretations of religious dogma and beliefs, to questions of practical ethics and daily behavior, to the texture of social and authority relations in rural communities, to how all these things changed over time and over place, and in relation to reforms instigated by the state.
