The Other West: Latin America from Invasion to Globalization (California World History Library)
University of California Press; 1 edition March 23, 2011
ISBN-10: 0520267494 ISBN-13: 978-0520267497 Paperback
Marcello Carmagnani
The Other West provides a provocative new interpretation of Latin American history and the region's place in the changing global political economy, from the discovery of America into the twenty-first century.
Marcello Carmagnani's award-winning and multidisciplinary analysis sheds new light on historical processes and explains how this vast expanse of territory--stretching from the American Southwest to the tip of the Southern Cone--became Europeanized in the colonial period, and how the European and American civilizations transformed one another as they grew together. Carmagnani departs from traditional historical thought by situating his narrative in the context of world history, brilliantly showing how the Iberian populations and cultures--both European and American--merged and evolved.
Missionary Scientists: Jesuit Science in Spanish South America, 1570-1810
Hardcover Vanderbilt University Press (February 20, 2011)
ISBN-10: 9780826517449 ISBN-13: 978-0826517449
Andres I. Prieto
Missionary Scientists explores the scientific activities of Jesuit missionaries in colonial Spanish America, revealing a little-known aspect of religions role in the scholarship of the early Spanish Empire. Grounded in an examination of the writings and individuals authors who were active in South American naturalist studies, this study outlines new paths of research often neglected by current scholarship.
What becomes clear throughout Missionary Scientists is that early missionaries were adept in adapting to local practices, in order to both understand the scientific foundations of these techniques and ingratiate themselves to the native communities.
Spanning the disciplines of history, religion, and Latin American studies, Missionary Scientists reshapes our understanding of the importance of the Jesuit missions in establishing early scientific traditions in the New World.
Policing Democracy: Overcoming Obstacles to Citizen Security in Latin America
(Woodrow Wilson Center Press)
Paperback The Johns Hopkins University Press; 1 edition (March 22, 2011)
ISBN-10: 0801898587 ISBN-13: 978-0801898587
Mark Ungar
Latin America's crime rates are astonishing by any standard -- the region's homicide rate is the world's highest. This crisis continually traps governments between the need for comprehensive reform and the public demand for immediate action, usually meaning iron-fisted police tactics harking back to the repressive pre-1980s dictatorships.
In Policing Democracy, Mark Ungar situates Latin America at a crossroads between its longstanding form of reactive policing and a problem-oriented approach based on prevention and citizen participation. Drawing on extensive case studies from Argentina, Bolivia, and Honduras, he reviews the full spectrum of areas needing reform: criminal law, policing, investigation, trial practices, and incarceration.
Finally, Policing Democracy probes democratic politics, power relations, and regional disparities of security and reform to establish a framework for understanding the crisis and moving beyond it.
