"Es muy productivo pensar en la modernidad como el discurso identitario que sirvió a Europa (al mundo blanco) para asumir el el dominio mundial - afirma Mary Louise Pratt y se pregunta: ¿Qué aspecto habría tenido la modernidad europea si sus campesinos desplazados no hubieran tenido ningún sitio al que ir, es decir, habrían tenido Ital e Irlanda revoluciones agrícolas como las de México y Rusia? ¿Son ideológicamente inocentes metáforas como "flujos migratorios" o "economía informal?" ¿Qué revela una secta religiosa en Cuzco sobre el capitalismo y su afán predatorio?, y también ¿lo combate en alguna medida? ¿Tiene sexo la violencia? ¿Por qué la mitología de guerra habla de los que parten al frente pero no de los que se quedan? El presente ensayo articula cuestiones como estas en un estudio global de América Latina a través de los imaginarios. Cada capítulo se dedica al estudio de un proceso histórico, social y económico desde la colonia hasta la actualidad. La autora sigue prestando atención a la cultura letrada pero también a los deseos, los conflictos y las ansiedades de las sociedades, así como a otros objetos reveladores -mitos de la cultura popular, documentos legales, discursos públicos, pasiones deportivas, prácticas migratorias-. La primera parte del libro reflexiona sobre los grandes relatos que dan coherencia a la historia latinoamericana. La segunda parte rastrea su presencia en textos y obras de los 2000. Y todo está atravesado por las grandes luchas emancipatorias del hemisferio y del planeta: la descolonización, es decir, la lucha por eliminar las jerarquías e idearios neocoloniales; el anticapitalismo, es decir, la lucha contra la explotación de las personas y de la tierra, y el feminismo, es decir, la lucha contra el patriarcado." --Contratapa.

In the vastness of Tokyo these are tiny social units, and by the standards that most Americans would apply, they are perhaps far too small, geographically and demographically, to be considered "neighborhoods." Still, to residents of Tokyo and particularly to the residents of any given subsection of the city, they are socially significant and geographically distinguishable divisions of the urban landscape. In neighborhoods such as these, overlapping and intertwining associations and institutions provide an elaborate and enduring framework for local social life, within which residents are linked to one another not only through their participation in local organizations, but also through webs of informal social, economic, and political ties. This book is an ethnographic analysis of the social fabric and internal dynamics of one such neighborhood: Miyamoto-cho, a pseudonym for a residential and commercial district in Tokyo where the author carried out fieldwork from June 1979 to May 1981, and during several summers since. It is a study of the social construction and maintenance of a neighborhood in a society where such communities are said to be outmoded, even antithetical to the major trends of modernization and social change that have transformed Japan in the last hundred years. It is a study not of tradition as an aspect of historical continuity, but of traditionalism: the manipulation, invention, and recombination of cultural patterns, symbols, and motifs so as to legitimate contemporary social realities by imbuing them with a patina of venerable historicity. It is a study of often subtle and muted struggles between insiders and outsiders over those most ephemeral of the community's resources, its identity and sense of autonomy, enacted in the seemingly insubstantial idioms of cultural tradition.
