Development and the Politics of Abundance in Peru Eric Hirsch
Transnational Intimacies of Postwar El Salvador Irina Carlota Silber
Over the last decade, Peru has experienced a spectacular mining boom and astronomical economic growth. Yet, for villagers in Peru's southern Andes, few have felt the material benefits. With this book, Eric Hirsch considers what growth means—and importantly how it feels. Hirsch proposes an analysis of boom-�me capitalism that starts not from considera�ons of poverty, but from the premise that Peru is wealthy.
Examining the arcs of a Salvadoran "1.5 insurgent genera�on" and their migra�on to the United States, this book provides a compelling longitudinal ethnographic account of postwar reckoning. This book builds upon Irina Carlota Silber's nearly 25 years of ethnographic research centered in Chalatenango, El Salvador, to follow the trajectories—geographic, temporal, storied—of several extended Salvadoran families.

Cuellar reminds us of the ongoing poli�cal significance of movement and embodied experience, as folklórico maintains an important and s�ll-contested place in Mexican and Mexican American iden�ty today.

This study argues that powerful authori�es and ins�tu�ons exploit the ambiguity of La�nidad in ways that obscure inequali�es in the United States. Grappo draws on case studies and controversies over the racial iden��es of public La�nx figures to show how media ins�tu�ons and state authori�es deploy the ambigui�es of La�nidad in ways that mys�fy the sources of La�nx poli�cal and economic disadvantage.
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
In the wake of the Cold War, a group of diverse U.S. immigrants flocked to Costa Rica, distancing themselves from undesirable U.S. policies. Shragai examines the mo�va�ons for immigra�on, pa�erns of movement, se�lements, and processes of iden�tymaking among U.S. Americans in Costa Rica from post–World War II to the late 1970s.

The first rela�onal study of twen�eth-century U.S. guestworker programs from Mexico and the Caribbean, Contrac�ng Freedom explores how 1940s debates over labor programs elided race and empire while further legi�ma�ng and extending U.S. domina�on abroad in the post-World War II era.
An innova�ve study of the ar�s�c representa�ons of undocumented migra�on within the Hispanophone Caribbean. An untold story filled with beauty, possibility, and sorrow, Crossing Waters encourages us to rethink the geography and experience of undocumented migra�on and the role that the Caribbean archipelago plays as a border zone. 2

In the late nineteenth century, La�n American exports boomed. In southern Mexico's Soconusco district, the coffee trade would transform rural life. A regional history of the Soconusco as well as a study in commodity capitalism, From the Grounds Up places indigenous and mes�zo villagers, migrant workers, and local poli�cians at the center of our understanding of the export boom.

Upon arrival to the United States, Mexican immigrants are racialized as simultaneously nonWhite and "illegal." This racializa�on process complicates no�ons of race that they bring with them, as the "pigmentocracy" of Mexican society collides with the American racial system. Racial Baggage examines how immigra�on reconfigures U.S. race rela�ons, illumina�ng how the immigra�on experience can transform understandings of race in home and host countries.
A dynamic collec�on of personal interviews with 14 prominent ac�vists whose wri�ngs influenced the 1979 Nicaraguan revolu�on and help us understand present-day Nicaragua.

Traces Ecuador’s lawsuit against the Chevron corpora�on for the environmental devasta�on resul�ng from its oil drilling prac�ces, showing how dis�nct legal truths were rela�onally composed of, with, and through crude oil. Holding the paradoxes of complicity in suspension, Sawyer de�ly demonstrates how crude ma�ers, technoscience, and liberal legality configure how risk and reward, depriva�on and disavowal, suffering and surfeit become legally and unevenly distributed.
