Researching Women in Latin America and the Caribbean
This comprehensive critique and review of two decades of cross-disciplinary research discusses how current scholarship on women and gender in specific disciplines or topical areas - including history, anthropology, sociology, political economy and literature - is reconstructing knowledge, expanding traditional fields of enquiry and revitalizing Latin-American and Caribbean studies

Rediscovering Julia de Burgos
This commentary is inspired to a large degree, but not solely, by literary critic Vanessa Pérez-Rosario's remarkable book Becoming Julia de Burgos: The Making of a Puerto Rican Icon.

For example, development projects promoted by Western countries to modernize the Third World have, in …
