Resumen
Given the circulation of global ideological discourses about the end of socialism, and the turn of many former socialist states towards the market, why write about Cuban socialism today? This is the question that Robin Moore poses in one of the last chapters of his book Music and Revolution, an overview of the development of musical forms under the Cuban socialist system.

Resumen
The romance of San Francisco journalist Alma Reed and Felipe Carrillo Puerto, revolutionary governor of Yucatán, ended abruptly only a few months after the two became engaged. Federal troops seconding the delahuertista coup assassinated Carrillo Puerto in the early morning of January 3, 1924. Their love has long remained a fascinating footnote in Carrillo Puerto’s life. Reed herself has been the subject of one biography (Passionate Pilgrim) and much erroneous speculation (that she was Jack Reed’s sister). She inspired the song “Peregrina,” which Carrillo Puerto had written to serenade her, and two forgettable Spanish-language films (including the film Peregrina in 1987). I suspect I am not the only student of Yucatecan history who knew so little about Alma Reed.

Resumen
Engaged Observer focuses on the discipline of anthropology, and I am not an anthropologist. Yet the book spoke to me in many ways, and I learned greatly from reading it. As in many edited volumes, the book’s strengths lie in the diversity of its contributions. Most are thoughtful, thought-provoking pieces of scholarship that directly explore questions raised in the foreword and introduction: What is the role of advocacy in research? To whom do the anthropologist’s primary commitments lie? What is the role of truth, and justice, and power, in scholarly work? Drawing on research conducted around the globe among settings where human rights are endemically violated, the contributions to this volume are powerful examples of compassionate scholarship by leading anthropologists.

Resumen
Juan José Saldaña's edited book, Science in Latin America, thus remains an important work a decade after it was first published in Spanish as Historia social de las ciencias en América Latina (Mexico City: UNAM and M.A. Porrúa, 1996). In nine chapters organized chronologically, the book spans the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries and covers a range of issues related to science in the colonial and national periods of Spanish and Portuguese America. Topics include, for example, herbal medicine in the sixteenth century, Jesuit science teachings in the eighteenth century, public health in the nineteenth century, etc.

Resumen
David E. Stuart is a professor of anthropology at the University of New Mexico who has turned his most recent efforts as researcher and scholar to writing a novel titled The Ecuador Effect. Although a work of fiction, this novel was inspired by Stuart’s previous experience in Ecuador where he lived and worked and, apparently, learned much about the history and cultural mores of the country.

Resumen
With the publication of Unequal Cures: Public Health and Political Change in Bolivia, 1900-1950, Ann Zulawski has provided an important study of the problems of disease and the politics of public health, race, and gender in Bolivia. Her work is a vital contribution to the new literature on the history of medicine and public health in Latin America in part because of its originality. Unequal Cures is the first major historical study of Bolivian public health to be published in English. Zulawski, moreover, draws from archival sources few have touched in the development of this project, doing much of the basic groundwork for the Bolivian case study that scholars of other, more heavily “studied” regions have been able to take for granted in developing their own scholarship.

Resumen
Laera proposes to outline the formation of the genre of novel writing in Argentina. She argues that Gutiérrez and Cambaceres were the driving forces behind the emergence of the novel in Argentina in the 1880s, and that only then and thanks to them did this form of writing become a widely practiced one.
