Latin American culture has given birth to numerous dramatic works, though it has often been difficult to locate information about these plays and playwrights. This volume traces the history of Latin American theater, including the Nuyorican and Chicano theaters of the United States, and surveys its history from the pre-Columbian period to the present. Sections cover individual Latin American countries. Each section features alphabetically arranged entries for playwrights, independent theaters, and cultural movements. The volume begins with an overview of the development of theater in Latin America. Each of the country sections begins with an introductory survey and concludes with copious bibliographical information. The entries for playwrights provide factual information about the dramatist's life and works and place the author within the larger context of international literature. Each entry closes with a list of works by and about the playwright. A selected, general bibliography appears at the end of the volume.

La Cultura de Paz es una tentativa- largamente tejida a largo de la historia, a través de cuyos hilos se ha conformado parcialmente un modo de organizar el mundo basado en el derecho sagrado de vivir juntos- que se define como el conjunto (concepto síntesis) de valores, actitudes, tradiciones, comportamientos y estilos de vida que inspiran una forma constructiva y creativa de relacionarnos para alcanzar- desde una visión holística e imperfecta de la paz- la armonía del ser humano consigo mismo, con los demás y con la naturaleza. Convivir en paz es un derecho humano reconocido a través de un cuerpo jurídico sobre el que se sostiene la democracia y representa un gran desafío para la humanidad. La educación es, sin duda, el mejor instrumento para superar con éxito dicho reto. Esta obra trata precisamente de presentar algunos fundamentos y claves para construir la cultura de la paz a través de la educación. Para el autor, el derecho a la paz representa la finalidad esencial del derecho a la educación y constituye la piedra angular del aprendizaje de la ciudadanía democrática. Para ello, sintetiza y aclara lo que se entiende por la paz y su cultura, define los rasgos esenciales de la Educación para la Cultura de Paz, presenta algunas experiencias y proyectos internacionales y determina los fundamentos y claves educativas necesarias para que los centros educativos se conviertan en verdaderos espacios de construcción y aprendizaje de la convivencia. José Tuvilla Rayo, escritor, pedagogo e investigador para la paz, es autor de numerosos artículos y libros sobre educación para la paz y los derechos humanos. Ha sido coordinador de la Red de Escuelas Asociadas a la UNESCO en Andalucía y ha participado, en calidad de Coordinador Regional, en el diseño, difusión y desarrollo del Plan Andaluz de Educación para la Cultura de Paz y Noviolencia, de la Consejería de Educación de la Junta de Andalucía. Es miembro del equipo pedagógico del Centro Internacional de Formación del profesorado en la enseñanza de los derechos humanos y de la paz de Ginebra (Suiza), del Comité Directivo Internacional de la Asociación Mundial por la Escuela Instrumento de Paz, del Instituto Paz y Conflictos de la Universidad de Granada y de la Asociación Española de Investigación para la Paz.

With a focus both historical and literary, Enrique Anderson-Imbert surveys the literature of Hispanic America. His study is not merely an historical synthesis of names, titles, and dates; it is, rather, a critical analytical appraisal of the verse, prose, and drama written in Spanish in the Americas in the contemporary period.

In 1932 Bolivia and Paraguay went to war over the Chaco region in South America. The war lasted three years and approximately 52,000 Bolivians and Paraguayans died. Moving beyond the battlefields of the Chaco War, this volume highlights the forgotten narratives of the war. Studying the environmental, ethnic, and social realities of the war in both Bolivia and Paraguay, the contributors examine the conflict that took place between 1932 and 1936 and explore its relationship with and impact on nationalism, activism and modernity. Beginning with an overview of the war, the book goes on to explore many new approaches to the conflict, and the contributors address topics such as the environmental challenges faced by the forces involved, the role of indigenous peoples, the impact of oil nationalism and the conflict's aftermath. This is a volume that will be of interest to anyone working on modern Latin America and the relationship between war and society.

La educación para la paz debe ser un elemento presente durante toda la etapa escolar. Si queremos alcanzar el fin de los conflictos armados, la discriminación y el odio en el mundo, hemos de fomentar desde la infancia un tipo de educación que subraye la importancia de no cometer los mismos errores del pasado y de construir una sociedad pacífica y justa para todos. En la actualidad sabemos que la paz es mucho más que la ausencia de guerra, dado que implica otras complejidades multidimensionales, tales como la avaricia, el consumo exacerbado, el cambio climático, la desigualdad y las violencias en plural. Es necesario trabajar estos temas en la escuela para acompañar a los y las jóvenes en las exigencias y desafíos grupales del mundo contemporáneo. Este libro pretende convertirse en una herramienta útil y amena para ayudar a construir una cultura de paz desde el aula, mediante una gran variedad de cuentos, fábulas, anécdotas y relatos que recorren los cinco continentes, numerosas propuestas de actividades que inviten al alumnado a la lectura, el debate y la reflexión, y recursos adicionales para los docentes.

In the last couple of decades there has been a surge of interest in Octavio Paz's life and work, and a number of important books have been published on Paz. However, most of these books are of a biographical nature, or they examine Paz's role in the various intellectual initiatives he headed in Mexico, specifically the journals he founded. Reality in Movement looks at a wide range of topics of interest in Paz's career, including his engagement with the subversive, adversary strain in Western culture; his meditations on questions of cultural identity and intercultural contact; his dialogue with both leftist and conservative ideological traditions; his interest in feminism and psychoanalysis, and his theory of poetry. It concludes with a chapter on Octavio Paz as a literary character—a kind of reception study. Offering a complex and nuanced portrait of Paz as a writer and thinker—as well as an understanding of the era in which he lived—Reality in Movement will appeal to students of Octavio Paz and of Mexican literature more generally, and to readers with an interest in the many significant literary, cultural, political, and historical topics Paz wrote about over the course of his long career.
