Unpacked: A History of Caribbean Tourism, by Blake C. Scott
The Business of Leisure: Tourism History in Latin America and the Caribbean
Zephyr L. Frank. Reading Rio de Janeiro: Literature and Society in the Nineteenth Century
Selecting Brazilian writers José de Alencar (1829–1877), Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839–1908), and Aluísio Azevedo (1857–1913), along with their novels Sonhos d’ouro (Golden Wildflowers), Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas (The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas), and O Coruja (The Owl), in this stimulating study historian Zephyr L. Frank dissects the bildungsroman or “coming-of-age novel” during the second half of the nineteenth century. The fi…
Latin American Migrations to the U.S. Heartland: Changing Social Landscapes in Middle America
Responding to inaccuracies concerning Latino immigrants in the United States as well as an anti-immigrant strain in the American psyche, this book examines the movement of the Latin American labor force to the central states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa. Chapters look at the outside factors that affect migration including corporate agriculture, technology, globalization, and government, as well as factors that have …
Agustín Lara: A Cultural Biography
"Andrew Wood masterfully interweaves the many legends about the musician-poet Agustin Lara with solid historical facts, painstakingly documenting his rise from a hopeless romantic bordello-pianist to the world's most renowned bolero composer."--Cover, page [4].
Transnational Encounters: Music and Performance at the U.S.-Mexico Border
Bridging various approaches to border studies, this fascinating and far-ranging collection assembled by Alejandro Madrid is solidly grounded in the aural culture particulars of the US-Mexico transnational soundscape. Music is the thing, but not without critical considerations of identity, history, gender, sexuality, and generation, among other topics. Madrid insightfully sketches the historiography of borderland studies from early treatments by H…
Media, Sound, and Culture in Latin America and the Caribbean
Outside of music, the importance of sound and listening have been greatly overlooked in Latin American history. Visual media has dominated cultural studies, affording an incomplete record of the modern era. This edited volume presents an original analysis of the role of sound in Latin American and Caribbean societies, from the late nineteenth century to the present. The contributors examine the importance of sound in the purveyance of power, gend…
Crafting Mexico: Intellectuals, Artisans, and the State after the Revolution
Beginning in the 1920s and extending up until today, Mexican elites have encouraged cultural production (including a variety of popular art and crafts) in promoting a larger, unifying sense of national awareness. Some, like cultural theorist Néstor García Canclini, suggest that Mexico is unique in this, claiming that local artisans achieved a sense of “national identity” even before mass communication and the tourism industry achieved maturity (p…

Holiday in Mexico: Critical Reflections on Tourism and Tourist Encounters
Satan's Playground: Mobsters and Movie Stars at America's Greatest Gaming Resort by Paul J. Vanderwood

The Book of Salsa: A Chronicle of Urban Music from The Caribbean to New York City by César Miguel Rondón
Sounds of the Modern Nation: Music, Culture and Ideas in Post-Revolutionary Mexico
In this compact and insightful book, Alejandro Madrid examines an elite group of early twentieth-century Mexican composers at a critical time in the nation’s cultural history, the 1920s. Focused principally on Manuel M. Ponce, Julián Carrillo, and Carlos Chávez, Madrid considers how these artists took part in a musical and intellectual dialogue aimed at determining what exactly nationalism and “modernity” meant musically after the revolution. For…
On the Border: Society and Culture between the United States and Mexico
Music and Revolution: Cultural Change in Socialist Cuba
One day during the late 1960s, renowned Cuban musician and nueva trova composer Pablo Milanés is said to have grown so frustrated with state television head Papito Serguera and other revolutionary officials censoring his songs that he exclaimed “to hell with Papito and his television station!” (p. 151). As it turns out, Milanés’s angry outburst came at a particularly low point in the history of the revolution, when state-led ideological initiativ…
On the Border: Society and Culture between the United States and Mexico
Strength in Numbers: Urban Rent Strikes and Political Transformation in the Americas, 1904-1925
Tenant mobilization in cities across the Americas during the early twentieth century was rooted in local social networks articulated among women in tenement houses, neighborhood residents, ethnic groups, church members, and other forms of informal, nonworkplace association. What distinguishes tenant mobilization during the early twentieth century from earlier examples of urban popular protest is the changing nature of civil society and the state.…
Mexico under Siege: Popular Resistance to Presidential Despotism
Histories of popular resistance to authoritarian rule in modern Mexico (whether before or after the revolution) have provided essential commentary on such important topics as rural revolts, labor organizing, religious conflict, and regional politics. For the period after 1940, however, few scholars have produced synthetic treatments of the long negotiation between the Mexican state and civil society. Instead, an army of political scientists, soci…
The Mafia in Havana: A Caribbean Mob Story
Judging from the photograph of Meyer Lansky that graces the cover of The Mafia in Havana, the mobster was not an attractive guy. Nevertheless, he was an extremely powerful man who—in cahoots with an assortment of other organized criminals, businessmen, the Cuban government, and U.S. intelligence officials—ruled over the infamous “Empire of Havana” from 1933 until the triumph of the 1959 revolution. They ran a vast criminal operation that operated…
Introducing La Reina Del Carnaval: Public Celebration and Postrevolutionary Discourse in Veracruz, Mexico
Following the revolution of 1910-1917, a new era took shape in the port of Veracruz, Mexico as residents ( porteños ) took to a variety of recreational pursuits that included baseball, social dances and, increasingly, film. No one activity proved more significant, however, than the revival of Carnival in 1925. That year, members of the Veracruz railroad workers union ( Alianza de Ferrocarrileros ) along with a coordinating committee made up of re…
Carlos Monsiváis: Culture and Chronicle in Contemporary Mexico
Among the many observers of Mexican culture today, Carlos Monsiváis reigns supreme. A prolific writer in the tradition of Mexico City chronicler Salvador Novo, he came of age during the Latin American literary boom of the 1960s and 1970s. Beginning with his landmark book on the 1968 student movement, Días de guardar (1970), he has since authored four essential works on twentieth-century Mexico and coauthored or edited several other volumes, while…

Urban Protest and the Discourse of Popular Nationalism in Postrevolutionary Mexico: The Case of the Veracruz Rent Strike
After the revolution of 1910-17 many Mexicans forged new identities, notions of citizenship and conceptions of social justice. As an example of the way in which this process took shape in urban areas, this essay examines how rent protesters during a housing strike in the port of Veracruz used anti-foreign rhetoric as an effective means to mobilise nearly 75 per cent of the local population. Comparing the discourse of the tenants with the availabl…

With guitars in their hands and revolution in their hearts: Corridos of the Mexican revolution
With the European colonisation of the Americas, immigrants introduced new forms of popular music to the continent. To produce the various church hymns, military marches, sea chanteys and other kinds of music accompanying social dances, Europeans brought with them fiddles, flutes, guitars and later, brass instruments. One of the most popular genres to take root in Mexico and the US.-Mexico borderlands was the corrido

Mexico's Cinema: A Century of Film and Filmmakers
Developed by an array of state-financed producers, directors, cinematographers, writers, and actors as well as a supporting cast of thousands, Mexican cinema from the mid 1930s gave rise to a dynamic industry and artistic golden age, which became the preeminent source for movie entertainment in the Spanish-speaking world. Understanding film as a powerful tool in forging citizen, gender and class identities over the past century, editors Joanne He…
