Two phenomena are of central interest in the nine contributions
that make up this volume: one is the question of power and its
multiple forms, and the other is that geographical, political and
cultural multifaceted unity we call the 'the Americas'. The book is
a multidisciplinary effort, written by scholars from the fields of
history, political science, anthropology, sociology and cultural
studies, who all share an interest in the ways in which power is
projected in the Americas. Some contributors focus on the sources
of power, while others are more concerned with how it is presented
and legitimized by those who hold it. Likewise, some investigate
the relations between government and citizens, while others look at
more informal structures of power. Common to all contributions,
however, is that they attempt to trace the forms that political and
social power take in different American contexts - from the highest
echelons of political power in Washington, D.C. to the local
politics of a small village in Mexico. Common to all contributions
is a nuanced exploration of the various manifestations of political
and social power in the Americas.
