Book Description
La vida y obra de Gabriela Mistral están signadas por una intensa y permanente búsqueda religiosa y espiritual. Practicó el budismo y la teosofía, el yoga y la meditación; estudió religiones comparadas, esoterismo, alquimia, masonería, teología musulmana y hebrea, no obstante esta heterodoxia, su más profunda y definitiva veta fue la cristiana. Se educó en la Biblia, en la lectura y escucha de los Salmos, y quedó cautiva por la doctrina franciscana, que la acompañó hasta su muerte. En 1922, con residencia en México, comenzó a escribir en torno a San Francisco de Asís. Estos textos fueron publicados en diarios de la época (tanto en Chile como en el extranjero) y conformarían un volumen para conmemorar, en 1926, los setecientos años de la muerte del Santo, proyecto que no se llevó a cabo. Mistral continuó con la creación de estas piezas, sin llegar a materializarlas en una publicación en su conjunto. Motivos de San Francisco y otras prosas cristianas es la reunión de ellas, las que, junto a otras dedicadas a figuras cardinales para la poeta, como Santa Teresa de Ávila o Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, conforman este libro que es a la vez íntimo y referencial, y que da cuenta de su magnífica musicalidad en la escritura, pasión y profundidad de ideas.

Book Description
"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999. The subject categories for Volume 60 are as follows: Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Music Philosophy: Latin American Thought

Book Description
As Spain consolidated its Empire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, discourses about the perfect Spanish man or "Vir" went hand-in-hand with discourses about another kind of man, one who engaged in the "abominable crime and sin against nature"—sodomy. In both Spain and Mexico, sodomy came to rank second only to heresy as a cause for prosecution, and hundreds of sodomites were tortured, garroted, or burned alive for violating Spanish ideals of manliness. Yet in reality, as Federico Garza Carvajal argues in this groundbreaking book, the prosecution of sodomites had little to do with issues of gender and was much more a concomitant of empire building and the need to justify political and economic domination of subject peoples. Drawing on previously unpublished records of some three hundred sodomy trials conducted in Spain and Mexico between 1561 and 1699, Garza Carvajal examines the sodomy discourses that emerged in Andalucía, seat of Spain's colonial apparatus, and in the viceroyalty of New Spain (Mexico), its first and largest American colony. From these discourses, he convincingly demonstrates that the concept of sodomy (more than the actual practice) was crucial to the Iberian colonizing program. Because sodomy opposed the ideal of "Vir" and the Spanish nationhood with which it was intimately associated, the prosecution of sodomy justified Spain's domination of foreigners (many of whom were represented as sodomites) in the peninsula and of "Indios" in Mexico, a totally subject people depicted as effeminate and prone to sodomitical acts, cannibalism, and inebriation.
