In the mid-to-late nineteenth century, as Mexico emerged out of decades of civil war and foreign invasion, a modern notion of honor—of one’s reputation and self-worth—became the keystone in the construction of public culture. Mexicans gave great symbolic, social, and material value to honor. Only honorable men could speak in the name of the public. Honor earned these men, and a few women, support and credit, and gave civilian politicians a claim to authority after an era dominated by military heroism. Tracing how notions of honor changed in nineteenth-century Mexico, Pablo Piccato examines legislation, journalism, parliamentary debates, criminal defamation cases, personal stories, urban protests, and the rise and decline of dueling in the 1890s. He highlights the centrality of notions of honor to debates over the nature of Mexican liberalism, describing how honor helped to define the boundaries between public and private life; balance competing claims of free speech, public opinion, and the protection of individual reputations; and motivate politicians, writers, and other men to enter public life. As Piccato explains, under the authoritarian rule of Porfirio Díaz, the state became more active in the protection of individual reputations. It implemented new restrictions on the press. This did not prevent people from all walks of life from defending their honor and reputations, whether in court or through violence. The Tyranny of Opinion is a major contribution to a new understanding of Mexican political history and the evolution of Mexican civil society.

Upon her return to Paris, Merlin expanded this into La Havane, an ambitious three-volume account of the political, social, and economic organization of the island. From the viewpoint of feminist and psychoanalytical theory, Gender and Nationalism in Colonial Cuba explores the many ways in which issues of gender have contributed to Merlin's virtual absence from the canons of literature and from the discourses on Cuban national identity.

Esta historia, está llena de duros y desgraciados acontecimientos, pero también, es una historia llena de dulzura, felicidad y sosiego, de acuerdo con los tiempos, que en cada momento acontecían; creo que es una historia donde el lector puede sentirse reconfortado, feliz y hasta identificado en muchos de los puntos de vista. Son muchas las cosas que han ocurrido, en este y otros países, que la gente se ha olvidado; si todos y cada uno de nosotros, echáramos de vez en cuando la vista atrás para recordar, quienes fueron nuestros ancestros. De donde procedemos y de quien. Como fuimos. Como somos y en qué nos hemos convertido; podéis tener la seguridad, de que todos y cada uno de nosotros, seríamos mucho más ricos en valores humanos; valores estos de los cuales cada día carecemos más. La historia de los pueblos y la propia de cada uno de nosotros, es el legado más valioso, que el ser humano puede tener.

Joan B. Pastor Aicart (Beneixama, 1849-1917) va ser metge rural i un escriptor molt prolífic, tant en castellà com en valencià. Si bé ha estat conegut com a poeta, la seua obra abraça tot tipus de gèneres literaris: assaig, teatre, articles de premsa, crítica literària, narrativa curta, etc. Fins ara, la seua figura ha passat desapercebuda dins del moviment de la Renaixença valenciana, tot i ser l'autor més premiat al llarg dels territoris de parla catalana durant aquells anys de renaixement lingüístic. El caràcter conservador i religiós d'una bona part de la seua obra i el seu tarannà social discret, que el va fer viure lluny de la capital i sempre més atent al treball que no a l'aparició en els cenacles literaris de l'època, han mantingut probablement oculta la importància dels seus escrits. Aquest llibre, que intenta ser una reconstrucció de la seua biografia intel·lectual, presenta també una breu selecció dels seus textos més rellevants.

The Latin American centennial celebrations of independence (ca.1909-1925) constituted a key moment in the consolidation of national symbols and emblems, while also producing a renewed focus on transnational affinities that generated a series of discourses about continental unity. At the same time, a boom in archaeological explorations, within a general climate of scientific positivism provided Latin Americans with new information about their grandiose former civilizations, such as the Inca and the Aztec, which some argued were comparable to ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures. These discourses were at first political, before transitioning to the cultural sphere. As a result, artists and particularly musicians began to move away from European techniques and themes, to produce a distinctive and self-consciously Latin American art. In Inca Music Reimagined author Vera Wolkowicz explores Inca discourses in particular as a source for the creation of national and continental art music during the first decades of the twentieth century, concentrating on operas by composers from Peru, Ecuador and Argentina. To understand this process, Wolkowicz analyzes early twentieth-century writings on Inca music and its origins and describes how certain composers transposed Inca techniques into their own works, and how this music was perceived by local audiences. Ultimately, she argues that the turn to Inca culture and music in the hopes of constructing a sense of national unity could only succeed within particular intellectual circles, and that the idea that the inspiration of the Inca could produce a music of America would remain utopian.
