During the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, dictatorships in Latin America hastened the outward movement of intellectuals, academics, artists, and political and social activists to other countries. The authoritarian rulers assumed that they would assure their control of politics and domestic public spheres by forcing opposition movements out of the country. Yet, by enlarging a diaspora of co-nationals, the authoritarian rulers emboldened opposition forces beyond their national borders. This title provides the first comprehensive analysis of diasporic experiences and the impact of returnees on the public life, culture, institutions, and development of post-authoritarian politics in the Southern Cone of the Americas.

In Musicians in Transit Matthew B. Karush examines the transnational careers of seven of the most influential Argentine musicians of the twentieth century: Afro-Argentine swing guitarist Oscar Alemán, jazz saxophonist Gato Barbieri, composer Lalo Schifrin, tango innovator Astor Piazzolla, balada singer Sandro, folksinger Mercedes Sosa, and rock musician Gustavo Santaolalla. As active participants in the globalized music business, these artists interacted with musicians and audiences in the United States, Europe, and Latin America and contended with genre distinctions, marketing conventions, and ethnic stereotypes. By responding creatively to these constraints, they made innovative music that provided Argentines with new ways of understanding their nation's place in the world. Eventually, these musicians produced expressions of Latin identity that reverberated beyond Argentina, including a novel form of pop ballad; an anti-imperialist, revolutionary folk genre; and a style of rock built on a pastiche of Latin American and global genres. A website with links to recordings by each musician accompanies the book.

Michel Onfray s'est enfoncé dans la région de Guyane où vit le peuple amérindien des Wayanas. Cette population, installée sur les rives de cours d'eau, est menacée de destruction par la pénétration des instruments de la modernité occidentale. Dans cet immense territoire, la France impose une loi jacobine qui ne correspond à aucune réalité locale. Ainsi, les peuples dits premiers sont, par la faute de l'électricité, d'Internet, de la télévision et du centralisme républicain, devenus des peuples derniers. Ils ont perdu jusqu'à la mémoire de leurs pratiques de pêche et de chasse. Le phénomène des suicides d'enfants qui se multiplient là-bas en est une des terribles conséquences. Nager avec les piranhas poursuit brillamment la réflexion que Michel Onfray mène depuis plusieurs années sur la manière dont les civilisations prospèrent sur les décombres de celles qui les ont précédées, avant de mourir à leur tour inéluctablement.
