La colección "Enigmas de las Américas" analiza expediciones de siglos pasados que buscaron descifrar enigmas de la geografía del continente americano. En cada libro, especialistas internacionales escriben artículos donde analizan, desde distintas perspectivas y diversos momentos, el impacto de estas expediciones en la construcción de imaginarios y en la cartografía, es decir, en aquellos dispositivos visuales conocidos como mapas. El presente libro se enfoca en el esfuerzo por descifrar el enigma del paso interoceánico en diversos puntos de la geografía americana. De acuerdo con el lineamiento de la colección "Enigmas de las Américas", los artículos de este segundo libro abordan el impacto de la búsqueda del paso interoceánico en la cartografía, reflejado en aquellos dispositivos visuales conocidos como mapas. Estos registran la información geográfica de las expediciones, que en sus trayectos alcanzaron interesantes descubrimientos geográficos y etnográficos, alentadas por el anhelo continuo de encontrar en algún lugar de la inexplorada vastedad del Mar del Sur, "tierras llenas de impensables riquezas (...) parte de aquella búsqueda inagotable".

En el primer libro de la colección se compilan una serie de artículos que abordan, desde distintas perspectivas, algunos de los enigmas que aquella geografía especulativa planteó a los expedicionarios, que buscaron resolverlos con sus sorprendentes viajes, en los que se conjugaban los intereses, ambiciones, ilusiones, imaginarios, mentiras y conocimientos que con tanto cuidado luego fueron registrados en los maravillosos mapas producidos a partir del siglo XVI. Cada artículo del libro refleja lo que es la cartografía, la convergencia de disciplinas, miradas e interpretaciones de académicos que desde sus trincheras y perspectivas (historias, antropología, geografía e historia del arte) reconstruyen aquella dinámica interacción entre enigmas geográficos, expediciones y mapas, que permitió entre los siglos XVI y XIX, definir con más precisión lo que fue América.

Central America was the only part of the far-reaching Spanish Empire in continental America not to experience destructive independence wars in the period between 1810 and 1824. The essays in this volume draw on new historical research to explain why, and to delve into what did happen during the independence period in Central America and Chiapas. The contributors, distinguished scholars from Central America, North America, and Europe, consider themes of power, rebellion, sovereignty, and resistance throughout the Kingdom of Guatemala beginning in the late eighteenth century and ending with independence from Spain and the debate surrounding the decision to join the Mexican Empire. Their work reveals that a “conflict-free” separation from Spain was more complex than is usually understood, and shows how such a separation was crucial to late-nineteenth-century developments. These essays tell us how different groups seized on the political instabilities of Spain to maximize their interests; how Latin American elites prepared elaborate rituals to legitimize power dynamics; why the Spanish military governor Bustamante’s role in Central America should be reconsidered; how Indian and popular uprisings had more to do with tax burdens than with independence rhetoric; how the scholastic thought of Thomas Aquinas played a role in political thinking during the independence period; and why Mexico’s Plan de Iguala, the independence program promoted by Agustín de Iturbide, finally broke Central American elites’ ties to Spain. Focusing on regional and small-town dynamics as well as urban elites, these essays combine to offer an unusually broad and varied perspective on and a new understanding of Central America in the period of independence.

Entre 1808 y 1814 los «príncipes españoles» (Fernando VII y los infantes don Carlos y don Antonio) vivieron como huéspedes forzados en el castillo de Valençay, situado en el corazón de Francia. Lo sucedido durante estos seis años es casi un misterio que los libros de Historia de España resuelven como si fuera un paréntesis en la trayectoria de los protagonistas. El hallazgo de documentación inédita hasta la fecha sobre la existencia cotidiana en el castillo ha permitido a Carlos Franco reconstruir en su complejidad los acontecimientos, las personas y las relaciones que se dieron cita en sus salones. La presente obra ofrece una nueva visión del horizonte vital y de las expectativas que guiaron a los prisioneros de Valençay durante el tiempo que estuvieron bajo los designios de Napoleón.

The feeling of insecurity is a little known phenomenon that has been only partially explored by social sciences. However, it has a deep social, cultural and economic impact and may even contribute to define the very structures of the state. In Latin America, fear of crime has become an important stumbling block in the region’s process of democratization. After long spells of dictatorships and civil wars, violence in the region was supposed to be under control yet crime rates have continued to skyrocket and citizens remain fearful. This analytical puzzle has troubled researchers and to date there is no publication which explores this problem. Based on a wealth of cutting edge qualitative and quantitative research, Lucía Dammert proposes a unique theoretical perspective which includes a sociological, criminological and political analysis to understand fear of crime. She describes its linkages to issues such as urban segregation, social attitudes, institutional trust, public policies and authoritarian discourses in Chile’s recent past. Looking beyond Chile, Dammert also includes a regional comparative perspective allowing readers to understand the complex elements underpinning this situation. Fear and Crime in Latin America challenges many assumptions and opens an opportunity to discuss an issue that affects everyone with key societal and personal costs. As crime rates increase and states become even more fragile, fear of crime as a social problem will continue to have an important impact in Latin America.

This volume examines the long and complex history of the Greco-Roman tradition in South America, arguing that the Classics have played a crucial, though often overlooked, role in the self-definition in the New World. Chronicling and theorizing this history through a detailed analysis of five key moments, chosen from the early and late colonial period, the emancipatory era, and the 20th and 21st centuries, it also examines an eclectic selection of both literary and cinematographic works and artefacts such as maps, letters, scientific treatises, songs, monuments, political speeches, and even the drafts of proposals for curricular changes across Latin America. The heterogeneous cases analysed in this book reveal cultural anxieties that recur through different periods, fundamentally related to the 'newness' of the continent and the formation of identities imagined as both Western and non-Western – a genealogy of apprehensions that South American intellectuals and political figures have typically experienced when thinking of their own role in world history. In tracing this genealogy, The Classics in South America innovatively reformulates our understanding of well-known episodes in the cultural history of the region, while providing a theoretical and historical resource for further studies of the importance of the Classical tradition across Latin America.

This book proposes the existence of a recognizably distinct Holocaust consciousness in Latin America since the 1970s. Community leaders, intellectuals, writers, and political activists facing state repression have seen themselves reflected in Holocaust histories and have used Holocaust terms to describe human rights atrocities in their own countries. In so doing, they have developed a unique, controversial approach to the memory of the Holocaust that is little known outside the region. Estelle Tarica deepens our understanding of Holocaust awareness in a global context by examining diverse Jewish and non-Jewish voices, focusing on Argentina, Mexico, and Guatemala. What happens, she asks, when we find the Holocaust invoked in unexpected places and in relation to other events, such as the Argentine "Dirty War" or the Mayan genocide in Guatemala? The book draws on meticulous research in two areas that have rarely been brought into contact—Holocaust Studies and Latin American Studies—and aims to illuminate the topic for readers who may be new to the fields.
