Latin America has produced an impressive body of sociopolitical
work, yet these important texts have never been readily available
to a wider audience. This anthology offers the first serious,
broad-ranging collection of English translations of significant
Latin American contributions to social and political thought
spanning the last forty years. Ivan Marquez has judiciously
selected narratives of resistance and liberation; ground-breaking
texts in Latin American fields of inquiry such as liberation
theology, philosophy, pedagogy, and dependency theory; and
important readings in guerrilla revolution, socialist utopia, and
post Cold War thought, especially in the realms of democracy and
civil society, alternatives to neoliberalism, and nationalism in
the context of globalization. By drawing from an array of diverse
sources, the book demonstrates the linkages among important
tendencies in contemporary Latin America, allowing the reader to
discover common threads among the selections. Highlighting the
vitality, diversity, and originality of Latin American thought,
this anthology will be invaluable for students and scholars across
the social sciences and humanities. Contributions by: Domitila

This volume brings together the essays of Chitta Ranjan Das
(1923-2011), a creative experimenter and writer, on literature,
culture, life and the human condition. It presents a different
vision and version of the post-colonial imagination and social and
literary criticism which is rooted in soil, soul and cosmos. While
a majority of post-colonial discourse is still predominantly
metropolitan, giving us very little discussion on creative
endeavours in different language spaces of India and the world,
this book presents radical new pathways and creative collaborations
which break conventional boundaries between the periphery and the
centre, literature and life, mother languages and metropolitan
languages, and East and West. It offers a new archaeology of
knowledge as a regenerative archaeology of life where knowledge,
action and devotion come together for new explorations and
transformations. It broadens and deepens our universe of discourse
on literature, philosophy and world transformations, and is a
monumental contribution to alternative imagination and cosmopolitan
experimentation.
