C U LT U R E Without History Subaltern Studies, the Zapatista Insurgency, and the Specter of History JOSÉ RABASA Sentencing Canudos 2010 • 368 pp. • 978-0-8229-6065-2 • Paper $28.50 ITEM NO. 509 • SALE PRICE $22.80 • ePub available ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS Subalternity in the Backlands of Brazil ADRIANA MICHELE CAMPOS JOHNSON 2010 • 240 pp. • 978-0-8229-6123-9 • Paper $25.95 ITEM NO. 508 • SALE PRICE $20.76 • ePub available ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS “Rabasa provides a solid genealogy of indigenous thinking in dialogue with Western epistemes. He opens a universe of meaning for scholars interested in the ideological richness of the first confrontations between Europeans and Amerindians and explains the possibilities for the production of knowledge—all the way to the present, where history is still a terrain of struggle for contesting ideas and displaying the resiliency of subaltern epistemes.” —Ileana Rodríguez, The Ohio State University “A rich and thought-provoking interpretation of how Canudos had its political articulation as a community denied, both at the time of its destruction as well as over the last 110 years of writing about it. It offers the reader an enjoyable, challenging account of Canudos as a case study of the interplay between history, subalternity, and contestation.” —José Luiz Passos, University of California, Los Angeles Muralism without Walls Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros in the United States, 1927–1940 ANNA INDYCH-LóPEZ Liberalism at Its Limits Crime and Terror in the Latin American Cultural Text ILEANA RODRÍGUEZ 2009 • 264 pp. • 978-0-8229-4384-6 • Cloth $45.00 • ITEM NO. 510 • SALE PRICE $36.00 ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS “Scholars and students of art history, museum studies, U.S. foreign relations, and post-revolutionary Mexico will appreciate Indych- Lopez’s nuanced explanation of the changing perceptions of Mexican modern art in the United States during the 1930s.” —The Latin Americanist 2009 • 248 pp. • 978-0-8229-6019-5 • Paper $26.95 • ITEM NO. 511 • SALE PRICE $21.56 • ePub available 978-0-8229-4368-6 • Cloth $60.00 • ITEM NO. 512 • SALE PRICE $48.00 ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS “A tense and intricate weave that connects cultural studies with political science and history. State failures turn out to be over-determined by the inherent flaws in liberalism itself, magnified into outright breeches of reason in Latin America, and by the inauspicious context that tries liberalism.” —Doris Sommer, Harvard University 4 UNIVERSIT Y OF PIT TSBURGH PRESS • Latin American Studies
Intersecting Tango Cultural Geographies of Buenos Aires, 1900-1930 ADRIANA J. BERGERO 2008 • 488 pp. • 978-0-8229-5985-4 • Paper $27.95 • ITEM NO. 513 • SALE PRICE $22.36 • ePub available ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS “Brings to bear an extraordinarily rich array of materials on the notion of modernization as a deep set of dislocations. Bergero covers the subject with encyclopedic sweep and in a truly interdisciplinary way.” —Diana Sorensen, Harvard University Literature and Subjection The Economy of Writing and Marginality in Latin America HORACIO LEGRÁS 2008 • 296 pp. • 978-0-8229-5999-1 • Paper $25.95 • ITEM NO. 514 • SALE PRICE $20.76 • ePub available 978-0-8229-4353-2 • Cloth $65.00 • ITEM NO. 515 • SALE PRICE $52.00 ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS “Legrás offers excellent readings of both Latin American fiction and Western theory. He illustrates the particularity of the link between Latin American fiction and history, on one hand, and between Latin American culture and modern European epistemology on the other. A rare feat in the field of Latin American studies.” —Brett Levinson, Binghamton University The Curse of Nemur In Search of the Art, Myth, and Ritual of the Ishir TICIO ESCOBAR Nightmares of the Lettered City Banditry and Literature in Latin America, 1816-1929 JUAN PABLO DABOVE 2007 • 328 pp. • 978-0-8229-5937-3 • Paper $26.95 • ITEM NO. 516 • SALE PRICE $21.56 • ePub available 978-0-8229-4293-1 • Cloth $65.00 • ITEM NO. 517 • SALE PRICE $52.00 ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS “A compelling read. Escobar comes to Ishir mythology and art as a literary and art critic, but it would be a waste to read this book purely in the spirit of literary criticism, for the stories that the Ishir tell, their body art, and their rituals are far too interesting in their own right.” —Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute 2007 • 392 pp. • 978-0-8229-5956-4 • Paper $27.95 • ITEM NO. 518 • SALE PRICE $22.36 • ePub available ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS “Provides an exquisite and erudite re-interpretation of key texts relating not only to banditry but, more generally, to the anxieties of nation formation and modernity in the fragmented polities and cultures of Latin America.” —The Americas C U LT U R E UNIVERSIT Y OF PIT TSBURGH PRESS • Latin American Studies 5
