Transatlantic Studies: Latin America, Iberia, and Africa emerges
from, and performs, an ongoing debate concerning the role of
transatlantic approaches in the fields of Iberian, Latin American,
African, and Luso-Brazilian studies. The innovative research and
discussions contained in this volume's 35 essays by leading
scholars in the field reframe the intertwined cultural histories of
the diverse transnational spaces encompassed by the former Spanish
and Portuguese empires. An emerging field, Transatlantic Studies
seeks to provoke a discussion and a reconfiguration of the
traditional academic notions of area studies, while critically
engaging the concepts of national cultures and postcolonial
relations among Spain, Portugal and their former colonies.
Crucially, Transatlantic Studies transgresses national boundaries
without dehistoricizing or decontextualizing the texts it seeks to
incorporate within this new framework.

This is an evocative drama of American idealism and the tragic
fallout from the euphoria of the 1960s. Five lost souls are
gathered in a bar, Valentine's Day, 1974: Wanda, a
secretary-turned-schoolteacher, keeping John Kennedy's memory alive
despite the inevitable slurs; Sparger, an actor grown bitter and
cynical as New York's vital underground theatre movement becomes a
commercial wasteland; Rona, a political activist who sees the
movement collapsing from self-indulgence and apathy; Mark, a Vie
A classic of Brazilian literary criticism and historiography,
Brazil and the Dialectic of Colonization explores the unique
character of Brazil from its colonial beginnings to its emergence
as a modern nation. This translation presents the thought of
Alfredo Bosi, one of contemporary Brazil's leading intellectuals,
to an English-speaking audience. Portugal extracted wealth from its
Brazilian colony. Slaves--first indigenous peoples, later
Africans--mined its ore and cut its sugarcane. From the customs of
the colonists and the aspirations of the enslaved rose Brazil. Bosi
scrutinizes signal points in the creation of Brazilian culture--the
plays and poetry, the sermons of missionaries and Jesuit priests,
the Indian novels of José de Alencar and the Voices of Africa of
poet Castro Alves. His portrait of the country's response to the
pressures of colonial conformity offers a groundbreaking appraisal
of Brazilian culture as it emerged from the tensions between
imposed colonial control and the African and Amerindian
cults--including the Catholic-influenced ones--that resisted it.
Many people believe that discipleship is important, but they need
help. In fact, the vast majority of Christians report that they
have never been personally discipled by a more mature follower of
Jesus. Is it any wonder that they have a difficult time knowing how
to disciple others? If making disciples of Jesus is the greatest
cause on earth, how should we equip people to do it? This handbook
is a practical guide for how to embrace the discipleship lifestyle
- being a disciple of Jesus and how to make other disciples of
Jesus. With contributions from pastors and teachers like Francis
Chan, Jeff Vanderstelt, Bill Hull, Jim Putman, KP Yohannan, and
Robert Coleman, the authors present seven elements that are
necessary for disciple making to occur: Jesus-the original disciple
maker and centerpiece of discipleship. Holy Spirit-fuels the
disciple-making process. Intentionality-making disciples utilizing
a strategy and a roadmap. Relationships-creating a loving, genuine
connection with others who trust and follow Jesus. Bible-using the
Word of God as the manual for making disciples. Journey-forging a
traceable growth story from a new birth to spiritual parenthood.
Multiply-reproducing the discipleship process so that the disciple
becomes a disciple maker. Whether you are a parent who wants to
disciple your children, a small group leader who wants to disciple
those in your group, or a church leader who wants to disciple
future leaders, the seven key elements in this handbook form a
framework for understanding discipleship that can be applied in
countless situations. In addition, there are questions provided in
each section to help you think through how to apply the material to
your disciple making efforts.
Is Brazil part of Latin America, or an island unto itself? As Nossa
and Nuestra America: Inter-American Dialogues demonstrates, this
question has been debated by Brazilian and Spanish American
intellectuals alike since the early nineteenth century, though it
has received limited scholarly attention and its answer is less
obvious than you might think. This book charts Brazil's evolving
and often conflicted relationship with the idea of Latin America
through a detailed comparative investigation of four crucial Latin
American essayists: Uruguayan critic Jose Enrique Rodo, Brazilian
writer-diplomat Joaquim Nabuco, Mexican humanist Alfonso Reyes, and
Sergio Buarque de Holanda, one of Brazil's preeminent historians.
While these writers are canonical figures in their respective
national literary traditions, their thoughts on Brazilian-Spanish
American relations are seldom investigated, and they are rarely
approached from a comparative perspective. In Nossa and Nuestra
America, Newcomb traces the development of two parallel essayistic
traditions: Spanish American continentalist discourse and Brazil's
solidly national exegetic tradition. With these essayistic
traditions in mind, he argues that Brazil plays a necessary-and
necessarily problematic-role in the intellectual construction of
"Latin America." Further, in traversing the Luso-Hispanic frontier
and bringing four of Latin America's preeminent thinkers into
critical dialogue, Newcomb calls for a truly comparative approach
to Luso-Brazilian and Spanish American literary and cultural
studies. Nossa and Nuestra America will be of interest to scholars
and students of Latin American and Luso-Brazilian literature and
ideas, and to anyone interested in rethinking comparative
approaches to literary texts written in Portuguese and Spanish.
Worthy of the Cause for Which They Fight chronicles the experiences
of a well-educated and articulate Confederate officer from Arkansas
who
witnessed the full evolution of the Civil War in the
Trans-Mississippi Department and western theater. Daniel Harris
Reynolds, a community leader with a thriving law practice in Chicot
County, entered service in 1861 as a captain in command of Company
A of the First Arkansas
Mounted Rifles. Reynolds saw action at Wilson's Creek and Pea Ridge
before the regiment was dismounted and transferred to the Army of
Tennessee, the primary Confederate force in the western theater.
As Reynolds fought through the battles of Chickamauga,
Atlanta, Nashville, and Bentonville, he consistently kept a diary
in which he described the harsh realities of battle, the shifting
fortunes of war, and the personal and political conflicts that
characterized and sometimes
divided the soldiers. The result is a significant testimonial
offering
valuable insights into the nature of command from the company to
brigade levels, expressed by a committed Southerner coming to grips
with the realities of defeat and the ultimate demoralization of
surrender.
