Understanding Latin America's Economy in the Twenty-First Century
A comprehensive, comparative, and regionwide perspective on Latin American economic development spanning the last twenty-five years. Latin America's economic performance is often depicted as a long sequence of repeated failures, including its contribution to global financial crises as well as its slow growth and intractable inequalities. Its experience in the twenty-first century, however, reveals considerable and underappreciated successes. Understanding those successes--as well as setbacks--is critical to understanding both the region's prospects and the rapidly changing global economic order. Jeff Dayton-Johnson's Understanding Latin America's Economy in the Twenty-First Century provides a comprehensive, comparative, and region-wide perspective on Latin American economic development that spans the last quarter century. The book is organized in three parts. The first introduces and summarizes Latin America's economic history over the long term (the past five centuries) and the immediate past (the last half of the twentieth century). The second analyzes economic growth during the twenty-first century, emphasizing the role of China's roaring demand for Latin American commodity exports. The third part assesses three fundamental characteristics of Latin American economic development in this century: the pros and cons of the commodity boom, the reasons behind the surprising decline in economic inequality, and the emergence of left-leaning and center-right governments that opted for pragmatic and orthodox macro policies mixed with innovative antipoverty programs. This is an economics book for specialists and non-specialists alike, leaning heavily on economic concepts and models while introducing and explaining its subject for a broad readership. It is aimed at undergraduate and masters level students in Latin American studies, international relations, development studies, political science, economics, and other social sciences as well as readers beyond academia who are eager to understand Latin America and the global economy. -

Twelve-year-old Rosie is a musical prodigy whose synesthesia allows her to see music in colors.
She's never told anyone this, though. She already stands out more than enough as a musical "prodigy" who plays better than most adults. Rosie's mom expects her to become a professional violinist. But this summer, Rosie refuses to play.
She wants to have a break. To make friends and discover new hobbies. To find out who she would be if her life didn't revolve around the violin.
So instead of attending a prestigious summer music camp, Rosie goes with her mom to visit her grandparents. Grandma Florence's health is failing, Grandpa Jack doesn't talk much, and Rosie's mom is furious with her for giving up the violin. But Rosie is determined to make the most of her "strike." And when she meets a girl who seems distinctly familiar, she knows this summer will be unlike any other.
With help from a mysterious glitch in time--plus her grandparents, an improv group, and a new instrument--Rosie uncovers secrets that change how she sees her family, herself, and the music that's always been part of her.

I Shouldn't Be Telling You This: (But I'm Going to Anyway) (First Time Trade)
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"I could not put this book down. It's so funny" -Ru Paul

A RECOMMENDED READ FROM: NPR * PUREWOW * USWEEKLY * PEOPLE * BUSTLE * SHEREADS * NYLON * BOOKRIOT * AND MORE
The dynamic memoir-in-essays by comedian, screenwriter, and podcaster Chelsea Devantez, detailing her tumultuous upbringing and uproarious career path into Hollywood.
There are things Chelsea Devantez probably shouldn't be telling you. Many of them are in this book: some are embarrassing (like when she tried to break her three year spell of celibacy using a guide of seduction tips). Some are confessional (getting sentenced to the "hell hill" at Mormon church camp). Some are TMI (a series of outrageous doctor visits that ended with one doctor misdiagnosing her as "pregnant." Woopsies!).
Then there are things Chelsea really shouldn't be telling you: like the time her biggest family secret was publicly outed, or about the drive-by shootings and the precipitating domestic violence she survived. Yet through it all, it's the women in Chelsea's life who kept her going - from the lowest points of her childhood when she and her mom had only $100 left to their name, all the way to her career highs as the Emmy-nominated Head Writer for The Problem with Jon Stewart and sensational podcaster deemed "the celebrity memoir whisperer" by her fans.
In I Shouldn't Be Telling You This, Chelsea centers each story around a different woman who shaped her life, taking us on a tour of friends and strangers, fictional characters and celebrities, heroes and villains who will destroy any Netflix algorithm for a "strong female lead." Reading it will feel kinda like that moment at a party when your friend beckons you close, sloshes her martini around, and covertly whispers, "I really shouldn't say this, but..." -

Nightmare of the Embryos
Nightmare of the Embryos is a stunning collection of short fictional works by the Swiss writer Mariella Mehr (1947-2022), one of the most groundbreaking German writers of her time and simultaneously one of the most neglected. Mehr, a Yenish author, was subjected to the Swiss government-funded assimilationist campaign targeting nomadic or "Gypsy" populations. Her experiences drove her to use her writing to explore systems of violence, power, and abuse. Over the course of her career, she drew from a dark interior space, inventing new ways to depict pain and write the body. These magnificent, short pieces are drawn from published and unpublished works (many have never even appeared in German) and reveal Mehr as a master stylist. The title story surreally traces Mehr's emergence into adulthood after growing up in Swiss orphanages ("I woke up on a mountain of rubble that should have been called childhood"); another, "Island Body," is a love story gone sour, narrated on a beach island by sea grass and sand dunes; "Did You Hear" describes the writer, who, with her questioning, longing, and fear, visits St. Lawrence's chapel in the Rhine valley where "for someone like me, brought up Catholic, mortal sin has remained the secret par excellence." As if in a psychic panopticon, these pieces open up swift stunning views into the Yenish community, nighttime bars, imagined landscapes and dreams, and the Holocaust. Translated brilliantly and with an introduction by Caroline Froh, Nightmare of the Embryos is a rich, imagistic, and linguistically inventive collection of works, by an author who has been described as the "Joan of Arc of the Yenish people."
