El poder discursivo de la metáfora "república bananera" hace fácil pasar por alto las diversas maneras en las que el monopolio capitalista dentro de los Estados Unidos dio forma a la historia del comercio del banano en el siglo XX. Siguiendo al banano en su viaje internacional, John Soluri cruza, en esta obra, los límites de varios campos académicos para escribir una historia enriquecida por las perspectivas de biólogos y geógrafos, además de historiadores culturales, ambientales y sociales e incorpora una amplia gama de fuentes al incluir datos de censos manuscritos de Honduras, expedientes de las compañías fruteras, investigaciones científicas publicadas e inéditas, correspondencia entre los gobiernos de Honduras y de los EE.UU., y testimonios orales y efímeros de la cultura de masas de los EE.UU.

Bananas, the most frequently consumed fresh fruit in the United States, have been linked to Miss Chiquita and Carmen Miranda, "banana republics," and Banana Republic clothing stores—everything from exotic kitsch, to Third World dictatorships, to middle-class fashion. But how did the rise in banana consumption in the United States affect the banana-growing regions of Central America? In this lively, interdisciplinary study, John Soluri integrates agroecology, anthropology, political economy, and history to trace the symbiotic growth of the export banana industry in Honduras and the consumer mass market in the United States. Beginning in the 1870s, when bananas first appeared in the U.S. marketplace, Soluri examines the tensions between the small-scale growers, who dominated the trade in the early years, and the shippers. He then shows how rising demand led to changes in production that resulted in the formation of major agribusinesses, spawned international migrations, and transformed great swaths of the Honduran environment into monocultures susceptible to plant disease epidemics that in turn changed Central American livelihoods. Soluri also looks at labor practices and workers' lives, changing gender roles on the banana plantations, the effects of pesticides on the Honduran environment and people, and the mass marketing of bananas to consumers in the United States. His multifaceted account of a century of banana production and consumption adds an important chapter to the history of Honduras, as well as to the larger history of globalization and its effects on rural peoples, local economies, and biodiversity.

This text takes a novel approach to labor. Rather than examine the labor movement, labor unions, and labor organizing, Work, Protest, and Identity in Twentieth-Century Latin America sets work in the context of social history in Latin America. It combines a chronological approach with a topical one to clarify how work is related to other themes in daily Latin American life-themes such as gender, race, family life, ethnicity, immigration, politics, industrial and agricultural growth, and religion. The essays in this collection bring together original studies and published works that illustrate the tensions and conflicts between work, identity, and community that caused protest to take many different forms in Latin American countries. Designed to give students a better appreciation for the complexity of the lives of the wage-working sectors of society and the richness of their contributions to the cultures and nations of the region, Work, Protest, and Identity in Twentieth-Century Latin America is essential for courses on the social history of Latin America, state formation, labor and protest, and surveys of modern Latin America.

Aunque Colombia puede representarse como una mancha en un mapa, esa abstracción en últimas remite a un espacio concreto que tiene montañas, carreteras, ciudades y multitud de ecosistemas, donde hace calor o frío y se respira un aire que huele a guayaba o a exhosto. Fragmentos de historia ambiental colombiana recoge once artículos escritos por historiadores y geógrafos de la Universidad de los Andes, que estudian cómo el mundo natural ha moldeado nuestra historia y desentrañan la forma en que nuestro pasado está entrelazado con el de los ríos, suelos y bosques de la geografía nacional. Un énfasis en la Bogotá del siglo XX permite entender por qué sus cerros están cubiertos de pinos y eucaliptos o cómo la formación de la ciudad sobre ríos y humedales ha generado formas de organización social. El libro también viaja al Valle del Cauca, al Cesar y al Atlántico, para explorar los costos de la modernización agrícola, y a la Amazonia, el Chocó y La Guajira para reconstruir la historia de nuestros bosques, que en unos casos siguen en pie y en otros desaparecieron. Este libro es una contribución decisiva a un novedoso campo de la historia que se abre paso en Colombia.

Cultural Heritage Management and Indigenous People in the North of Colombia explores indigenous people's struggle for territorial autonomy in an aggressive political environment and the tensions between heritage tourism and Indigenous rights. South American cases where local communities, especially Indigenous groups, are opposed to infrastructure projects, are little known. This book lays out the results of more than a decade of research in which the resettlement of a pre-Columbian village has been documented. It highlights the difficulty of establishing the link between archaeological sites and objects, and Indigenous people due to legal restrictions. From a decolonial framework, the archaeology of Pueblito Chairama (Teykú) is explored, and the village stands as a model to understand the broader picture of the relationship between Indigenous people and political and economic forces in South America. The book will be of interest to researchers in Archaeology, Anthropology, Heritage and Indigenous Studies who wish to understand the particularities of South American repatriation cases and Indigenous archaeology in the region.

This volume explores how Colombian novelists, artists, performers, activists, musicians, and others seek to enact—to perform, to stage, to represent—human rights situations that are otherwise enacted discursively, that is, made public or official, in juridical and political realms in which justice often remains an illusory or promised future. In order to probe how cultural production embodies the tensions between the abstract universality of human rights and the materiality of violations on individual human bodies and on determined groups, the volume asks the following questions: How does the transmission of historical traumas of Colombia’s past, through human rights narratives in various forms, inform the debates around the subjects of rights, truth and memory, remembrance and forgetting, and the construction of citizenship through solidarity and collective struggles for justice? What are the different roles taken by cultural products in the interstices among rights, laws, and social justice within different contexts of state violence and states of exception? What are alternative perspectives, sources, and (micro)histories from Colombia of the creation, evolution, and practice of human rights? How does the human rights discourse interface with notions of environmental justice, especially in the face of global climate change, regional (neo)extractivism, the implementation of megaprojects, and ongoing post-accord thefts and (re)appropriations of land? Through a wide range of disciplinary lenses, the different chapters explore counter-hegemonic concepts of human rights, decolonial options struggling against oppression and market logic, and alternative discourses of human dignity and emancipation within the pluriverse.

En la actualidad hemos reconocido el peso de la acción humana en la transformación reciente del planeta lo que hemos llamado cambio climático y el Antropoceno, por lo tanto, resulta fundamental tener una visión de la historia que reconozca que el pasado humano está entremezclado con el devenir del mundo natural. Un pasado vivo. Dos siglos de historia ambiental latinoamericana recogen los avances hechos en ese sentido para entender los acelerados cambios producidos en los últimos dos siglos en América Latina y el Caribe. Cada capítulo presenta una visión general, desde un ángulo ambiental, de la historia de algunos países, regiones y biomas, como México, el Caribe, las selvas y las ciudades, o sobre temas transversales a toda la región, como la minería, la ganadería, la conservación de la naturaleza y la ciencia. Sus autores son trece de los más reconocidos investigadores en este campo. Además, esta obra cuenta con una introducción que propone cuatro grandes temas de la historia ambiental de la región y un contrapunto final que la ubica en el contexto global. Un pasado vivo es indicativo de la madurez que ha alcanzado esta área de la historia y servirá de base para estudios futuros.
