Summary : This is the biggest underground bestseller in the history of Cuban literature. Even when it had not yet been published, thousands of bootleg copies circulated under the table in Cuba, converting it into a true headache for the Cuban political authorities, who then and still today continue to stubbornly deny the alarming development of prostitution on the island. Later, after being published by Planeta, the book also became an international bestseller, with editions in numerous languages. Considered by international criticism as a classic of its genre, in 2007 it won the Rodolfo Walsh International Award for the best nonfiction book published in the Spanish-speaking world. Now we have the latest, definitive version, translated into English by the journalist and writer, Regina Anavy.

Genre : Law

Summary : There are approximately 150 million people of African descent in Latin America yet Afro-descendants have been consistently marginalized as undesirable elements of the society. Latin America has nevertheless long prided itself on its absence of U.S.-styled state-mandated Jim Crow racial segregation laws. This book disrupts the traditional narrative of Latin America's legally benign racial past by comprehensively examining the existence of customary laws of racial regulation and the historic complicity of Latin American states in erecting and sustaining racial hierarchies. Tanya Katerí Hernández is the first author to consider the salience of the customary law of race regulation for the contemporary development of racial equality laws across the region. Therefore, the book has a particular relevance for the contemporary U.S. racial context in which Jim Crow laws have long been abolished and a "post-racial" rhetoric undermines the commitment to racial equality laws and policies amidst a backdrop of continued inequality.

Genre : History

Summary : In Mirrors, Galeano smashes aside the narrative of conventional history and arranges the shards into a new pattern, to reveal the past in radically altered form. From the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century cityscapes, we glimpse fragments in the lives of those who have been overlooked by traditional histories: the artists, the servants, the gods and the visionaries, the black slaves who built the White House, and the women who were bartered for dynastic ends
