Contemporary Indigenous Movements in Latin America

By: Erick D. Langer

The efforts of Indians in Latin America have gained momentum and garnered increasing attention in the last decade as they claim rights to their land and demand full participation in the political process. This issue is of rising importance as ecological concerns and autochtonous movements gain a foothold in Latin America, transforming the political landscape into one in which multiethnic democracies hold sway. In some cases, these movements have led to violent outbursts that severely affected some nations, such as the 1992 and 1994 Indian uprisings in Ecuador. In most cases, however, grassroots efforts have realized success without bloodshed. An Aymara Indian, head of an indigenous-rights political party, became Vice President of Bolivia. Brazilian lands are being set aside for indigenous groups not as traditional reservations where the government attempts to 'civilize' the hunters and gatherers, but where the government serves only to keep loggers, gold miners, and other interlopers out of tribal lands. Contemporary Indigenous Movements in Latin America is a collection of essays compiled by Professor Erick D. Langer that brings together-for the first time-contributions on indigenous movements throughout Latin America from all regions. Focusing on the 1990s, Professor Langer illustrates the range and increasing significance of the Indian movements in Latin America. The volume addresses the ways in which Indians have confronted the political, social, and economic problems they face today, and shows the diversity of the movements, both in lowlands and in highlands, tribal peoples, and peasants. The book presents an analytical overview of these movements, as well as a vision of how and why they have become so important in the late twentieth century. Contemporary Indigenous Movements in Latin America is important for those interested in Latin American studies, including Latin American civilization, Latin American anthropology, contemporary issues in Latin America, and ethnic studies.

Bungalow 77

By: Erick De Kerpel

Un creativo publicitario ve cómo su aburrida y tranquila vida cambia cuando el cártel más poderoso del narcotráfico lo busca para que cree una campaña, cuyo objetivo es limpiar la mala imagen de la mafia. El sorprendente encuentro entre el cinismo de la mercadotecnia y la crueldad de los capos de la droga es el punto de partida de esta Bungalow 77, que retrata un mundo tan absurdo que el lector sentirá como el propio. André Gavlik, mejor conocido como el Ruso, es un creativo publicitario, aburrido de su vida. Pasa los días atormentado por sus manías obsesivas, que intenta mantener a raya mezclando whiskey con ansiolíticos. Todo parece transcurrir sin sobresaltos, hasta que emprende un proyecto tan emocionante como arriesgado. El cártel más poderoso y sanguinario del narcotráfico en nuestro país anda tras sus pasos... ¡para que diseñe una campaña capaz de lavar la mala imagen que los mafiosos tienen ante la sociedad! El Ruso y todos sus cómplices en la agencia se verán envueltos, a partir de ese momento, en una serie de situaciones confusas, grotescas, peligrosas pero, sobre todo excitantes. A la vuelta de la esquina los esperan sospechas de asesinato, delirio de persecución, extorsión, amos y traiciones, entre otros explosivos ingredientes con los que se entreteje esta ingeniosa historia, escrita con humor negro en el mejor estilo del cine de Tarantino. Lo que ha dicho la crítica: "El cinismo con el que se manejan los personajes, anclado al humor negro que inyectó el autor al escribirlo, hace de esta narrativa una experiencia donde el lector se formará un juicio propio, se sentirá dentro de la historia y reirá con las ocurrencias de los personajes. Escrito de manera fluida el autor aporta sus experiencias profesionales y lo une a una problemática nacional como es el narcotráfico". - Alberto Cruz, Agencia 22, de Canal 22. "No es una narconovela o de detectives, pues no explora la cultura de las drogas desde una sociedad institucionalizada ni persigue una historia o ambienteNoir.[...] la novela es una exploración de la ética profesional con la que todos convivimos día a día". - Letras Mórbidas (Móbido Fest).
