Achievements & Awards
THE DESERTMAKERS
Congratulations to Associate Professor Javier Uriarte on his book The Desertmakers!
This book studies how the rhetoric of travel introduces different conceptualizations of space and time in scenarios of war during the last decades of the 19th century, in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. By examining accounts of war and travel in the context of the consolidation of state apparatuses in these countries, Uriarte underlines the essential role that war (in connection to empire and capital) has played in the Latin American process of modernization and state formation. In this book, the analysis of British and Latin American travel narratives proves particularly productive in reading the ways in which national spaces are reconfigured, reimagined, and reappropriated by the state apparatus. War turns out to be a central instrument not just for making possible this logic of appropriation, but also for bringing temporal notions such as modernization and progress to spaces that were described — albeit problematically — as being outside of history.
2020 BFE Book prize
Benjamin Tausig, a board member for the IGS, was awarded the 2020 BFE Book Prize for his 2019 monogram, Bangkok is Ringing: Sound, Protest, and Constraint (New York: OUP).
The 2020 Book Prize Panel - Ioannis Tsioulakis (Chair), Britta Sweers and Jonathan Stock - noted that Benjamin's book "is superbly written—it turns its own pages—and admirably represents the best new writing in ethnomusicology today".
The book is available on Amazon and Oxford University Press.
THE LAST GOOD NEIGHBOR
Eric Zolov, a history board member for the IGS, has recently published his book, The Last Good Neighbor: Mexico in the Global Sixties.
The Last Good Neighbor presents a revisionist account of Mexican domestic politics and international relations during the long 1960s, tracing how Mexico emerged from the shadow of FDR's Good Neighbor policy to become a geopolitical player in its own right during the Cold War.
The book is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and PDF.
