Illuminations: Cultural Formations of The Americas

Editors: John Beverley and Sara Castro-Klar?n

This series features cutting-edge books on Latin American and inter-American societies, histories, and cultures that offer new perspectives from postcolonial, subaltern, feminist, and cultural studies. The series concerns itself, above all, with the historical sedimentation and genealogies of Latin American cultural practices and institutions. In highlighting cultural formations of the Americas, it aims to represent work that not only is national in focus, but also crosses regions and continents, encompassing the spatial relations of Atlantic studies, of precolonial or prenational territoriality, and of U.S. Latino and other diasporic cultures.

Bolivian Studies Journal

The  Bolivian  Studies  Journal  is  a  peer-reviewed publication that responds to  the  growing interest in understanding  the  past  and  present  of  historical  and  cultural  processes in Bolivia. Toward  this end, it promotes research that is  innovative,  interdisciplinary, and interested in critically discussing the challenges that Bolivia is making  in  the  new  millennium.  The  journal  is  also  an  effort to contribute to the vibrant and  committed   international   community  of  Bolivianists  and  welcomes  initiatives  to  re-conceptualize the theoretical and epistemological frameworks that have  traditionally oriented  interpretations  of  Bolivian history  and  culture.  We publish once  a  year  and accept  research papers, articles, documents, reviews, interviews, and discussion materials written in Spanish, English, or indigenous languages.
