This book investigates the strategies used by South American digital-native news media in attracting diverse audiences, and their effectiveness, from an audience perspective, in bridging communities and building consensus. In recent years, independent digital news outlets have emerged in a landscape of increasing ideological polarization. The book addresses the pivotal question of whether these organizations can help promote social cohesion and overcome a divided and fragmented market. Drawing from extensive interviews conducted with audience members, journalists, and media executives from the established news markets of Argentina, Brazil and Colombia, de Macedo Higgins Joyce sheds new theoretical insights on the strategies and practice of independent digital news, its evolution, and its agenda-setting impact in the region. Innovative and rigorous, Digital-Natives News in South America deftly explores this new and important field of research and will be of interest to journalism researchers and media practitioners alike. Vanessa de Macedo Higgins Joyce, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Texas State University, USA.

The continuing importance of the Baroque in Spanish and Latin American culture. The Hispanic Baroque is a Janus-faced phenomenon, one of its faces peering at the sunset of feudalism, the other at the dawn of European modernity. This collection of essays seeks to engage with this paradox and its consequencesfor understanding Spanish and Latin American literary and cultural history. Conceived in response to Roberto González Echevarría's influential Celestina's Brood: Continuities of the Baroque in Spain and Latin America, and spanning many years of Beverley's own intellectual trajectory, it includes material already in the public domain, together with much that is new, previously unpublished or long unavailable. An Introduction outlines the ongoing scholarly discussion about the nature of the Baroque in both Spain and Spanish America. The essays deal respectively with Luis de Góngora's Soledades; the picaresque novel; the Baroque pastoral; Gracián's theory of "wit" andthe equation of wit and power; and the relation among Baroque writing, colonial hegemony, and the formation of a criollo culture in Spanish America. A section on Baroque historicism suggests some ways of using the Baroqueto reflect on our contemporary situation, and the volume concludes with a wide-ranging conversation about the Baroque and Hispanism between the author and Fernando Gómez Herrero, a young scholar strongly influenced by postcolonialstudies. JOHN BEVERLEY is Professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature and Cultural Studies at the University of Pittsburgh.

“An invaluable study of Cuban music making in diaspora.” —Robin D. Moore, Professor of Ethnomusicology, Butler School of Music, The University of Texas at Austin, USA “Silot Bravo's study thus provides a rare glimpse into a space where artists navigate between political constraints, fostering a global citizenship that goes beyond the rigid political lines often associated with Cuban studies.” —Greg Landau, Ph.D., Producer, Educator & Music Historian, USA “Drawing from decades of experience in diplomacy, music scholarship, and arts advocacy, Bravo's careful study of oft-neglected alternative artists is sure to challenge thinking surrounding what Cuban music sounds like and who gets to participate.” —Mike Levine, Assistant Professor in Musicology, Christopher Newport University, USA Surveying the impact of Cuba's economic crisis after the demise of the eastern socialist block, this book documents a relatively unexplored transnational network of collaborations among Cuban musicians that migrated to many different countries from the 1990s forward. The book’s main argument is that in light of the 1990s crisis in Cuba, new transnational and alternative narratives emerged, resulting in creative “in-between” spaces that reflect a post- socialist aesthetic condition. The manuscript also documents important developments in the Cuban jazz and fusion scenes outside the island in the last 20+ years. Eva Silot Bravo has a PhD in Cultural Studies, Spanish and Literatures from The University of Miami (FL, USA). She has taught at University of Miami, Barry University, Miami Dade Public School System, The Branson School in Ross, CA and currently at Oakland School for the Arts in Oakland, CA. In United Nations she represented Cuba and developing countries (G77).

This volume presents an analytical and empirical overview of the array of issues that the Mexican media faces in the post-authoritarian age, which jointly explains how a partially accomplished democracy, its authoritarian inertias, and its unintended consequences hinder the democratic performance of the media. This is analyzed from three points of view: the stalemate Mexican media system and ineffective regulations, the conditions of risk and insecurity of the journalists on the field, and the limits of freedom of expression, political substance, and inclusiveness of media content. A binational effort, with research from US and Mexican authors, a wide analytic perspective is provided on the macro, meso, and micro levels, allowing for a deep conceptual richness and a comprehensive understanding of the Mexican case. With leading researchers in the field, the volume revolves around the problems of the media in post-authoritarian democracies. By answering the questions of howand why the Mexican media has not fully democratized, the works encompassed here can resonate with and are relevant to other post-authoritarian countries and academic disciplines.
