Centering Animals in Latin American History
Author: Martha Few
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822353970
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Centering Animals in Latin American History writes animals back into the history of colonial and postcolonial Latin America. This collection reveals how interactions between humans and other animals have significantly shaped narratives of Latin American histories and cultures. The contributors work through the methodological implications of centering animals within historical narratives, seeking to include nonhuman animals as social actors in the histories of Mexico, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Chile, Brazil, Peru, and Argentina. The essays discuss topics ranging from canine baptisms, weddings, and funerals in Bourbon Mexico to imported monkeys used in medical experimentation in Puerto Rico. Some contributors examine the role of animals in colonization efforts. Others explore the relationship between animals, medicine, and health. Finally, essays on the postcolonial period focus on the politics of hunting, the commodification of animals and animal parts, the protection of animals and the environment, and political symbolism. Contributors. Neel Ahuja, Lauren Derby, Regina Horta Duarte, Martha Few, Erica Fudge, León García Garagarza, Reinaldo Funes Monzote, Heather L. McCrea, John Soluri, Zeb Tortorici, Adam Warren, Neil L. Whitehead

Henri lives to uncover secrets, but this man has everything to hide... Lady Henrietta Bloomfield has built a fortune gambling on the utterly predictable foibles of her peers. When her latest wager fails thanks to the stodgy Earl of Colefax and his surprisingly rash behavior, she's more intrigued than disappointed. It seems there's more to the upright earl than meets the eye, and Henri makes it her mission to discover who he really is. The more she gets to know the real Alistair, with his dark passion and his mysterious missions, the more she finds him utterly, irresistibly appealing. And what she feels when he holds her in his arms? That's enough to make her doubt her sanity. No rational woman should lose her heart to a man who's determined to ruin her fun. Alistair might have found Henri's nosey antics amusing...if he didn't have so many secrets to hide. But it's not just his pride on the line--lives are at stake, including his brother's. He has no choice but to do whatever it takes to distract Henri from her suspicions, and if kisses are the best way to do that, then so be it. Now if only he can kiss her senseless without risking his own heart in the process.

Book Description
Miss Rebecca means to cause trouble. And she might just succeed...if only a certain overprotective viscount would get out of her way. The balls, the gowns, the gentlemen callers—a Season in London is everything Miss Rebecca has ever dreamt it would be. The only hitch in her plans? A certain grumpy Viscount who seems to think he's obligated to look after her. But escorting her to parties is one thing...chasing her through the streets of London while she seeks out her estranged mother? Surely that is going above and beyond. If only she could rid herself of her self-appointed guard. But, then again, when he distracts her with kisses it's hard to recall where the real adventure lies. With the gang of pirates...or in her viscount's arms. This is a clean, sweet regency romance with a standalone love story. However, there is an overarching plot so the series is best read in order.
