A landmark in Brazilian music scholarship, A Respectable Spell follows the rich history of samba from its nineteenth century origins to its emergence as a dis�nc�ve genre in the 1930s. Merging storytelling with theory, Carlos Sandroni profiles performers and composers while analyzing the complex ideologies their music can communicate.
The history of the Inter-American Commission of Women: the first all-female, government-affiliated body to deal specifically with women’s civil and poli�cal rights in a transna�onal arena. Wamsley’s analysis at once addresses a void in scholarship and interweaves the history of Pan Americanism, foreign rela�ons, and imperialism with that of women.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
Who is to blame for the economic and poli�cal crisis in Puerto Rico—the United States or Puerto Rico? In this engaging and approachable book, journalist A. W. Maldonado charts the rise and fall of the Puerto Rican economy and explains how a litany of bad poli�cal and fiscal policy decisions in Washington and Puerto Rico destroyed an economic miracle.
Drawing on recent studies in kinship, landscape from an indigenous perspec�ve, and social scaling, this ethnography explores ways in which Amazonian Kichwa narra�ve, ritual, and concepts of place link extended kin groups into a regional society within Amazonian Ecuador. 1

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
Moche murals of northern Peru represent one of the great ar�s�c tradi�ons of the ancient Americas. In this first comprehensive study, Trever develops an interdisciplinary methodology of “archaeo art history” to examine how ancient histories of art can be wri�en without texts, inver�ng the typical rela�onship of art to archaeology.
Annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering La�n America as a whole. Most of the subsec�ons are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evalua�ons of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
Elaborates condi�ons of existence that exceed any defini�on of world bound to poli�cal determina�ons. It offers a general cri�que of the poli�cal apparatus and seeks to establish an impera�ve horizon for existen�al selfunderstanding. The book provides a genealogy of infrapoli�cs in the context of contemporary philosophical and poli�co-theore�cal reflec�on.
The great nineteenth-century ar�st Francisco Laso’s pain�ngs of indigenous subjects were part of a larger project, spurred by writers and intellectuals ac�vely cra�ing a Peruvian na�on in the a�ermath of independence from Spain. This book is both an innova�ve account of modern indigenism and the first major monograph on Laso.

Monica Huerta draws on her experiences growing up in her family's Mexican restaurants and her life as an academic to sketch out habits of living that allow us to consider what it means to live with history as we are caught up in it and how those histories bear on our capaci�es to make sense of our lives.

Andil Gosine revises understandings of queer desire in the Caribbean, showing how the very concept of homosexuality in the Caribbean (and in the Americas more broadly) has been overdetermined by a colonially-influenced human/animal divide.

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
In the early twen�eth century, Brazil began to present itself as a racial democracy. Anadelia Romo shows that this shi� centered in Salvador, Bahia, where throughout the 1950s, modernist ar�sts and intellectuals forged cri�cal alliances with Afro Brazilian religious communi�es of Candomblé to promote their culture and their city.
Ana Sabau argues that Mexico’s complex racial hierarchy, inherited from Spanish colonialism, did not dissolve a�er Mexico gained independence. Instead, the authori�es’ ever-present fears of racial uprising led to governmental techniques and ideologies designed to separate and control people based on their perceived racial status.

Jorell Meléndez-Badillo tells the story of how a cluster of self-educated workers burst into Puerto Rico's world of le�ers in the a�ermath of the 1898 US occupa�on, showing how they produced, nego�ated, and deployed powerful discourses that eventually shaped Puerto Rico's na�onal mythology.
Transpacific Developments intervenes in the debates of China's growing presence in La�n America with original ethnographic research that challenges conven�onal thinking about who and what cons�tutes Chinese development in Central America, how it is perceived locally, and what it portends for the future.
