Project Muse Latin American Ebooks Collection

Posted by Tim Hagan

Northwestern University Libraries now have access to 655 Latin American ebooks via the Project Muse platform.   Access by title via NUsearch or through Project Muse.

A list of title is available here: Project Muse Latin American Ebooks Collection 2024

This curated Northwestern-specific collection focuses on those books published within the fields of History, Social Sciences, and Arts/Literature within the last 10 years (2014-present), from Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico – countries which touch on the greatest cross-section of faculty interests in both Andean Studies, the Southern Cone, and Mexican Studies.

Academic e-books from Latin America have rarely been available for purchase until now; this collection was developed in consultation with the Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials Electronic Resources Subcommittee, co-chaired by Jill Baron, Latin American Studies Librarian at Dartmouth Libraries, and Socrates Silva Reyes, Latin American Studies Librarian at Cornell University.

ProQuest History Vault: Labor Priests: Progressive Politics and the Catholic Church, John A. Ryan Papers, 1892-1945

Posted by Tim Hagan

Labor Priests: Progressive Politics and the Catholic Church, John A. Ryan Papers, 1892-1945

The Francis J. Haas Collection documents Haas’s lifelong dedication to the Catholic Church and workers’ welfare. The collection includes materials from his family, his time as a seminary student in the early 1900s, and his role as an educator and cleric from the 1920s until his death in 1953. The materials focus most heavily, however, on his role as a public servant in New Deal agencies and as a labor arbitrator in the 1930s and 1940s. The collection includes materials on Haas’s positions in New Deal agencies, as a labor arbitrator, his role as chair of Fair Employment Practices Committee and his contributions to academia and religious studies at The Catholic University of America. – Publisher

CFC Intersections

Posted by Tim Hagan

CFC Intersections

CFC Intersections is an exciting new companion journal which builds on the success of highly regarded Contemporary French Civilization (CFC). CFC Intersections aims to provide a new publishing outlet for scholarship related to intersectionality and the broader associated notion of intersections in French and Francophone studies.

The journal’s interests focus on intersectionality and how it has come to inform the lives of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour), the working class, LGBTQ communities, people with disabilities, and those in other marginalised and minoritised groups, including among others Africana and Black studies, anthropology, cultural studies as well as gender, sexuality and queer studies, literary studies, sociology, and social work. – Publisher

Race Against Empire: Black Americans and Anticolonialism, 1937–1957

Posted by Tim Hagan

Race Against Empire: Black Americans and Anticolonialism, 1937–1957

Race against Empire tells the poignant story of a popular movement and its precipitate decline with the onset of the Cold War. Von Eschen documents the efforts of African-American political leaders, intellectuals, and journalists who forcefully promoted anti-colonial politics and critiqued U.S. foreign policy. The eclipse of anti-colonial politics—which Von Eschen traces through African-American responses to the early Cold War, U.S. government prosecution of black American anti-colonial activists, and State Department initiatives in Africa—marked a change in the very meaning of race and racism in America from historical and international issues to psychological and domestic ones. – Publisher
