Trials of Nation Making: Liberalism, Race, and Ethnicity in the Andes, 1810-1910 (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21202719): This book offers the first interpretive synthesis of the history of Andean peasants and the challenges of nation-making in the four republics of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia during the turbulent nineteenth century. Nowhere in Latin America were postcolonial transitions more vexed or violent than in the Andes, where communal indigenous roots grew deep and where the ´Indian problem´ seemed so daunting to liberalizing states. Brooke Larson paints vivid portraits of Creole ruling tes and native peasantries engaged in ongoing political and moral battles over the rightful place of the Indian majorities in these emerging nation-states. In this story, indigenous people emerge as crucial protagonists through their prosaic struggles for land, community, and ´ethnic´ identity, as well as in the upheaval of war, rebellion, and repression in rural society. This book raises broader issues about the interplay of liberalism, racism, and ethnicity in the formation of exclusionary ´republics without citizens´. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 25.95 bestellen! |

The Tale of Healer Miguel Perdomo Neira: Medicine, Ideologies, and Power in the Nineteenth-Century Andes (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21724580): This new book tells the story of Miguel Perdomo Niera, a healer whose amazing cures during his travels through the northern Andes in the 1860s and 1870s evoked both enormous hostility and widespread adulation. A combination of narrative and analysis, the book documents Perdomo´s experiences in Colombia and Ecuador and offers valuable insights into the social history of medicine during the Great Transformation in nineteenth-century Latin America. Perdomo´s practice of medicine demonstrated a strong religious influence that liberals thought were incompatible with a modern, secular society. Physicians, formally trained medicos, and those who supported scientific modernization were critical of Perdomo´s practice of Hispanic medicine, even though it was part of the medical system of the day. The Tale of Healer Miguel Perdomo Neira is a valuable resource for courses in Latin American history and anthropology, and the history of Andean nations. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 20.95 bestellen! |

Watchdog Journalism in South America: News, Accountability, and Democracy (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (22102026): Since the 1980s, investigative journalism has undergone startling development in South America, where repressive regimes have long relegated such reporting to marginal publications or underground outlets. ´´Watchdog Journalism in South America´´ explores the rise of critical journalism in four countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. Drawing upon interviews with journalists and editors and analyzing selected news stories from each country, Silvio Waisbord offers a unique look at the significant differences between critical reporting in developing democracies and that already in place in the United States and European democracies. As Waisbord demonstrates, critical reporting in South America can be better understood as watchdog journalism than as investigative reporting as understood in the tradition of Anglo-American journalism. Examining the historical absence of a muckraking press, he argues that watchdog journalism represents new political and media dynamics and discusses the emergence of a new journalistic culture and its contributions to the quality of democracy and public debates about morality, truth, and accountability. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 58.95 bestellen! |

From Where We Stand: War, Women´s Activism and Feminist Analysis (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | Produktbeschreibung (22730808): This original study examines women?s activism against war in areas as far apart as Sierra Leone, India, Colombia and Palestine. It shows women on different sides of conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Israel addressing racism and refusing enmity. It describes international networks of women opposing US and Western European militarism and the socalled ?war on terror?. These movements, though diverse, are generating an antimilitarist feminism that challenges how war and militarism are understood, both in academic studies and the mainstream antiwar movement. Gender, particularly the form taken by masculinity in a violent sex/gender system, is inseparably linked to economic and ethno-national factors in the perpetuation of war.
