This collection of essays arranged in thematic sections will examine the varying and complex functions of art museums in Latin America: as nation-building institutions and instruments of state cultural politics; as foci for the promotion of Latin American modernities and modernisms; as sites of mediation between local and international private and public interests; as organizations that negotiate cultural construction within the Latin American diaspora and shape constructs of Latin America and its nations; and as venues for the contestation of elitist and Eurocentric notions of culture and the realization of cultural diversity rooted in multiethnic environments. | Art Museums of Latin America Structuring Representation

Cultural Complexes of Latin America Voices of the South

Cultural Complexes of Latin America Voices of the South

The contributing authors all from several Latin American countries present compelling historical anthropological sociological mythological psychological and personal perspectives on a part of the world that is full of promise and despair. Latin America is a region marked with psychic fault lines that cause disturbances in its populations on issues of social class ethnicity race religion gender and even geography. Many of these fault lines appear to have their origins in the basic fault that occured with the conquest and colonization of the region primarily by the Spanish and Portuguese. This basic fault and its subsequent fault lines reside not only in various groups that compete for status power wealth and meaning but in the psyche of every Latin American individual who carries the emotional memories and scars of conflicts that have coursed through their mixed blood for generations. | Cultural Complexes of Latin America Voices of the South

Latin America and the Shifting Sands of Globalization

Latin America and the Shifting Sands of Globalization

Latin America occupies an increasingly prominent position within the global political economic and cultural consciousness with intra-regional governance structures and multilateral processes now a key topic of interest to foreign policy and international business circles. It has become abundantly clear that outside of Latin America there is a poor understanding of how the shifting sands of regional power are impacting not only on how regional countries fit into the global system but also on how intra-regional relations are viewed and managed. The contributions to this collection investigate these issues examining how changing global power dynamics are in turn impacting on national foreign policies and regional governance structures. The book focuses first and foremost on the Latin American view outwards rather than the US or European view of the South. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research. | Latin America and the Shifting Sands of Globalization
