Entre fines del siglo XIX y las primeras décadas del XX, en medio del vertiginoso proceso de modernización que atraviesan las principales ciudades de Sudamérica, los archivos policiales de Buenos Aires y Río de Janeiro empiezan a registrar, con alarma, la amenaza de los "delincuentes viajeros", un tipo de personaje especialmente difícil de detectar, veloz y con apariencia de gentleman, capaz de concretar con éxito robos y estafas sin ejercer violencia. ¿Quiénes eran estos ladrones de guante blanco? ¿Existieron más allá de las fantasías y las coartadas policiales? En una pesquisa tan rigurosa como apasionante en sí misma, Diego Galeano persigue esas biografías escurridizas, esas historias de individuos o de bandas que circulaban por el espacio atlántico con nombres falsos, documentos fraguados, ganzúas, llaves, navajas, valijas elegantes. Revisando documentación policial –telegramas, retratos, álbumes fotográficos, fichas antropométricas y dactiloscópicas–, rastros que atestiguan los pactos de cooperación y las redes de vigilancia transnacional, el autor reconstruye el modus operandi de los "ratones de hotel", los cuenteros del tío y los punguistas, verdaderos profesionales que operaban en los hoteles de lujo o se movían al amparo del anonimato en ciudades cada vez más populosas. Y revela también los esfuerzos de las policías que, recurriendo a las modernas técnicas de identificación y al canje de antecedentes e información, buscaban combatir a los malhechores con la menor burocracia posible. Contribución valiosa a la historia social de las prácticas delictivas y de la policía, este libro narra las deliciosas picardías de un puñado de ladrones viajeros, en una época de fronteras porosas y un intenso flujo de personas, papeles e ideas, a la vez que aporta una pieza nueva y necesaria a una genealogía de los mecanismos de control transnacional.

"The book is a collection of essays looking at histories of crime and justice in Latin America, with a focus on social history and the interactions between state institutions, the press, and social groups. It argues that crime in Latin America is best understood from the "bottom up" -- not just as the exercise of power from the state. The book seeks to document and illustrate the "every day" experiences of crime in particular settings, emphasizing under-researched historical actors such as criminals, victims, and police officers"--Provided by publisher.

At the crossroad of intellectual, diplomatic, and cultural history, this book examines flows of information, men, and ideas between South American cities—mainly the port-capitals of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro—during the period of their modernization. The book reconstructs this largely overlooked trend toward connectedness both as an objective process and as an assemblage of visions and policies concentrating on diverse transnational practices such as translation, travel, public visits and conferences, the print press, cultural diplomacy, intertextuality, and institutional and personal contacts. Inspired by the entangled history approach and the spatial turn in the humanities, the book highlights the importance of cross-border exchanges within the South American continent. It thus offers a correction to two major traditions in the historiography of ideas and identities in modern Latin America: the predominance of the nation-state as the main unit of analysis, and the concentration on relationships with Europe and the U.S. as the main axis of cultural exchange. Modernization, it is argued, brought segments of South America’s capital cities not only close to Paris, London, and New York, as is commonly claimed, but also to each other both physically and mentally, creating and recreating spaces, ways of thinking, and cultural-political projects at the national and regional levels.

Impure Migration investigates the period from the 1890s until the 1930s, when prostitution was a legal institution in Argentina and the international community knew its capital city Buenos Aires as the center of the sex industry. At the same time, pogroms and anti-Semitic discrimination left thousands of Eastern European Jewish people displaced, without the resources required to immigrate. For many Jewish women, participation in prostitution was one of very few ways they could escape the limited options in their home countries, and Jewish men facilitate their transit and the organization of their work and social lives. Instead of marginalizing this story or reading it as a degrading chapter in Latin American Jewish history, Impure Migration interrogates a complicated social landscape to reveal that sex work is in fact a critical part of the histories of migration, labor, race, and sexuality.

Thomas Book Award, Southeastern Council of Latin American Studies (SECOLAS) 2022 Bolton-Johnson Prize, Conference on Latin American History (CLAH) 2022 Best Book in Non-North American Urban History, Urban History Association (Co-winner) 2023 Honorable Mention, Best Book in the Humanities, Latin American Studies Association Mexico Section Many visitors to Mexico City’s 1886 Electricity Exposition were amazed by their experience of the event, which included magnetic devices, electronic printers, and a banquet of light. It was both technological spectacle and political messaging, for speeches at the event lauded President Porfirio Díaz and bound such progress to his vision of a modern order. Diana J. Montaño explores the role of electricity in Mexico’s economic and political evolution, as the coal-deficient country pioneered large-scale hydroelectricity and sought to face the world as a scientifically enlightened “empire of peace.” She is especially concerned with electrification at the social level. Ordinary electricity users were also agents and sites of change. Montaño documents inventions and adaptations that served local needs while fostering new ideas of time and space, body and self, the national and the foreign. Electricity also colored issues of gender, race, and class in ways specific to Mexico. Complicating historical discourses in which Latin Americans merely use technologies developed elsewhere, Electrifying Mexico emphasizes a particular national culture of scientific progress and its contributions to a uniquely Mexican modernist political subjectivity.

Este libro invita al lector a pensar históricamente la relación entre policía y sociedad en la Ciudad de México mediante un recorrido por las instituciones, los espacios, los sujetos y sus prácticas desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta mediados del XX. Al indagar sobre estos aspectos, se dibuja el rostro social de los sujetos que conformaron la policía y se examinan sus prácticas. Desde esta perspectiva, los agentes policiales desempeñaron un papel protagónico en la creación de las leyes de la calle, entendidas como un conjunto de arreglos en la aplicación discrecional de ordenamientos jurídicos. Este binomio ley de la calle comprende negociaciones cotidianas entre los agentes y la población urbana. Es decir, la política anudaba regulaciones formales lo mismo que decisiones imprevistas o francamente ilegales.

National borders and transnational forces have been central in defining the meaning of race in the Americas. Race and Transnationalism in the Americas examines the ways that race and its categorization have functioned as organizing frameworks for cultural, political, and social inclusion—and exclusion—in the Americas. Because racial categories are invariably generated through reference to the “other,” the national community has been a point of departure for understanding race as a concept. Yet this book argues that transnational forces have fundamentally shaped visions of racial difference and ideas of race and national belonging throughout the Americas, from the late nineteenth century to the present. Examining immigration exclusion, indigenous efforts toward decolonization, government efforts to colonize, sport, drugs, music, populism, and film, the authors examine the power and limits of the transnational flow of ideas, people, and capital. Spanning North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, the volume seeks to engage in broad debates about race, citizenship, and national belonging in the Americas.

This book reflects the development of Latin American labour history across broad geographical, chronological and thematic perspectives, which seek to review and revisit key concepts at different levels. The contributions are closely linked to the most recent trends in Global Labour History and in turn, they enrich those trends. Here, authors from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Spain take a historical and sociological perspective and analyse a series of problems relating to labour relations. The chapters weave together different periods of Latin American colonial and republican history from the vice-royalties of New Spain (now Mexico) and Peru, the Royal Audiencia de Charcas (now Bolivia), Argentina and Uruguay (former vice-royalty of Río de La Plata) and Chile (former Capitanía General).

Covering the precolonial period to the present, The Cambridge History of Latin American Law in Global Perspective provides a comprehensive overview of Latin American law, revealing the vast commonalities and differences within the continent as well as entanglements with countries around the world. Bringing together experts from across the Americas and Europe, this innovative treatment of Latin American law explains how law operated in different historical settings, introduces a wide variety of sources of legal knowledge, and focuses on law as a social practice. It sheds light on topics such as the history of indigenous peoples' laws, the significance of religion in law, Latin American independences, national constitutions and codifications, human rights, dictatorships, transitional justice and legal pluralism, and a broad panorama of key aspects of the history of statehood and law.
