[This] collection offers, among other things, some excellent case studies of this process of mediation. It is especially fascinating to watch authors who are well informed about the culture they study reflect upon this phenomenon.” —H-Net Reviews 1982 • 80 pp. • 978-0-8229-5327-2 • Paper $14.00 • ITEM NO. 531 • SALE PRICE $11.20 PITT POETRY SERIES “No book before Emplumada has so completely and sharply drawn the East Bay and San Jose, California experience with full justice.

No book has so carefully elucidated what living as a Chicana in the West means, and how ‘an intelligent, well-read person could believe in the war between races.” —Revista Chicano-Riqueña 8 UNIVERSIT Y OF PIT TSBURGH PRESS • Latin American Studies

For specialists on Argentina it represents one of the most important studies of the last decade. Dignifying Argentina presents a cogent analysis of state policies and their reception, in which we learn much about popular consumption, the nature of Peronism, and modern Argentine history itself.” —James Brennan, University of California Riverside Poverty of Democracy The Institutional Roots of Political Participation in Mexico CLAUDIO A. HOLZNER 2010 • 304 pp. • 978-0-8229-6078-2 • Paper $26.95 ITEM NO. 534 • SALE PRICE $21.56 • ePub available PITT LATIN AMERICAN SERIES “Holzner has crafted a challenging, thoughtful, and provocative interpretation contradicting theories that suggest democracy increases political participation among the poor. This work is particularly relevant to Mexico, but Holzner’s conclusions have widespread implications for any society completing the transition to a democratic model. A welcome, fresh insight to the consequences of democratic transitions in the region.” —Roderic Ai Camp, Claremont McKenna College UNIVERSIT Y OF PIT TSBURGH PRESS • Latin American Studies 9
