2023 Best Book in the Humanities, Latin American Studies Association Mexico Section Challenging conventional narratives of Mexican history, this book establishes race-making as a central instrument for the repression of social upheaval in nineteenth-century Mexico rather than a relic of the colonial-era caste system. Many scholars assert that Mexico’s complex racial hierarchy, inherited from Spanish colonialism, became obsolete by the turn of the nineteenth century as class-based distinctions became more prominent and a largely mestizo population emerged. But the residues of the colonial caste system did not simply dissolve after Mexico gained independence. Rather, Ana Sabau argues, ever-present fears of racial uprising among elites and authorities led to persistent governmental techniques and ideologies designed to separate and control people based on their perceived racial status, as well as to the implementation of projects for development in fringe areas of the country. Riot and Rebellion in Mexico traces this race-based narrative through three historical flashpoints: the Bajío riots, the Haitian Revolution, and the Yucatan’s caste war. Sabau shows how rebellions were treated as racially motivated events rather than political acts and how the racialization of popular and indigenous sectors coincided with the construction of “whiteness” in Mexico. Drawing on diverse primary sources, Sabau demonstrates how the race war paradigm was mobilized in foreign and domestic affairs and reveals the foundations of a racial state and racially stratified society that persist today.

Irving Thalberg was not just a critically important producer during Hollywood's Golden Age, but also an innovative theorist of studio-era filmmaking. Drawing on archival sources, this is the first book to explore Thalberg's insights into casting, editing, story composition and the importance of the mass audience from a theoretical perspective. It examines Thalberg's impact on film-historical turning points, such as the transition to sound cinema and the development of the Production Code, and features in-depth analyses of Thalberg's productions at MGM from 1924 to 1936, including films like The Big Parade (1925), The Broadway Melody of 1929 (1929) and Romeo and Juliet (1936). The book argues that Thalberg's views represent a unified conceptual understanding of filmmaking one that is still significant in the modern day.

In her latest book, New Life, Lambda Award–winning poet Ana Božičević writes, “For my birthday I want a cake/revealing the color of my soul.” Never saccharine, these poems are by turns cheeky and heartfelt, grounded and wistful, and above all—surprising. New Life is a book that is Dantesque in its ability to commune with the dead without becoming fixed in the past. Instead, the poems here have a distinct sense of nonlinear time, where each line feels like an ancient bone discovered, only to be reassembled into a chimera of another self. In this way, Božičević continually greets herself as a stranger, reminding us that in some respects every poem is a love poem.

L a voz de los relojes completa un ciclo de Ana Merino (Madrid, 1971) inició con Preparativos para un viaje (Premio Adonais, 1994) y continuó con Los días gemelos (Visor , 1997), escritos ambos desde el sentimiento del viaje y la distancia en continua búsqueda de una memoria que dialoga con los instantes. La voz de los relojes aúna diferentes ámbitos humanos y físicos. Sus versos mezclan el sabor del desarraigo y la lejanía con una mirada nómada cargada de un sentido poético peculiar. Ana Merino ofrece una voz genuina en el panorama de la nueva poesía española.

Nos cabe el honor de acoger en nuestra serie de poesía Nuevos Textos Sagrados a Andrés Trapiello, autor de preciados libros de poemas, como Las tradiciones (1991) o Acaso una verdad (1993), que le valió el Premio Nacional de la Crítica de aquel año.Como ya saben sus lectores, el mismo Trapiello nos ha acostumbrado en sus diferentes libros a la continuidad de voz y temas, tal vez como un signo de fidelidad a su mundo y a las voces de sus maestros. Este nuevo poemario, Rama desnuda , apunta un nuevo tono, una mayor atención a lo íntimo y biográfico. Si en obras anteriores sobresalían las pautas simbolistas, ahora sus versos parecen haberse despojado de ropajes vistosos y literarios. Sin ocultar su homenaje a los clásicos españoles contemporáneos, estos poemas, escritos en los últimos ocho años, vienen a contarnos algo más del sujeto, atentos al instante y a los destellos inadvertidos de la realidad más honda, con palabras tanto más claras y sencill

Trece personajes descubren un cadáver en una playa donde la realidad va deformándose y han de enfrentarse a un destino que se les escapa como arena entre los dedos; esa es la premisa sobre la que se asienta 'Castillo de arena', que supuso en 2010 un nuevo salto adelante en la trayectoria de Frederik Peeters como creador. El autor de 'Píldoras azules', 'Oleg' y 'Saqueo' describe esta historia concebida en colaboración con el cineasta Pierre Oscar Lévy como "un relato de Bradbury con un toque social y un lado oscuro".'Castillo de arena', ahora en edición en cartoné, vuelve a estar de actualidad con el estreno en cines en España el 30 de julio de la película 'Tiempo', dirigida por M. Night Shyamalan y con un reparto encabezado por Gael García Bernal.El gusto por lo simbólico, los apuntes bufonescos y una de las claves de la trama remiten también en 'Castillo de arena' de forma inevitable a 'El ángel exterminador' de Luis Buñuel.Asimismo, el cine ya estaba en las raíces de esta o
