内容説明
There has been a long tradition of European explorers, scientists and historians describing Latin America as it looks to them. This is a study of the other point of view to find out how Europe and European appear to Latin Americans. The book examines versions of the Spanish conquest in accounts narrated by the invaded people. Its main emphasis, however, is on 20th-century. After analyzing modern treatments of the conquest in dance, theatre, verse and novels, it assesses attitudes to Europe expressed in various forms during the 20th century and concludes with a study of the ways in which Latin Americans have appropriated features of European culture for their own advantage. A chapter on Latin American relations with the USA gives an important wider context to the argument.

内容説明
This book discusses the development of 'dissident' Irish republicanism and considers its impact on politics throughout Ireland since the 1980s. Based on a series of interviews with over ninety radical republican activists from the wide range of groups and currents which make up 'dissident' republicanism, the book provides an up-to-date assessment of the political significance and potential of the groups who continue to oppose the peace process and the Good Friday Agreement. It shows that the 'dissidents' are much more than traditionalist irreconcilables left behind by Gerry Adams' entry into the mainstream. Instead the book suggests that the dynamics and trajectory of 'dissident' republicanism are shaped more by contemporary forces than historical tradition and that by understanding the "dissidents" we can better understand the emerging forms of political challenge in an age of austerity and increasing political instability internationally. -- .
