“It is the contemporary elixir from which all manner of being emerges, the metamorphic sublime, an alchemist’s dream.” So begins Palma Africana, the latest attempt by anthropologist Michael Taussig to make sense of the contemporary moment. But to what elixir does he refer? Palm oil. Saturating everything from potato chips to nail polish, palm oil has made its way into half of the packaged goods in our supermarkets. By 2020, world production will be double what it was in 2000. In Colombia, palm oil plantations are covering over one-time cornucopias of animal, bird, and plant life. Over time, they threaten indigenous livelihoods and give rise to abusive labor conditions and major human rights violations. The list of entwined horrors—climatic, biological, social—is long. But Taussig takes no comfort in our usual labels: “habitat loss,” “human rights abuses,” “climate change.” The shock of these words has passed; nowadays it is all a blur. Hence, Taussig’s keen attention to words and writing throughout this work. He takes cues from precursors’ ruminations: Roland Barthes’s suggestion that trees form an alphabet in which the palm tree is the loveliest; William Burroughs’s retort to critics that for him words are alive like animals and don’t like to be kept in pages—cut them and the words are let free. Steeped in a lifetime of philosophical and ethnographic exploration, Palma Africana undercuts the banality of the destruction taking place all around us and offers a penetrating vision of the global condition. Richly illustrated and written with experimental verve, this book is Taussig’s Tristes Tropiques for the twenty-first century.

Two altar boys are found dead in the Santa Fe River, apparently murdered, thirty years apart. The first case was never solved, while the second unfolds in present time. The priest from Mora who worked closely with the boys is the obvious person of interest. But a woman from an old New Mexico Hispanic family with a Catholic background who is the homicide detective for the Santa Fe Police Department, and a second-generation New Mexico Anglo woman with a Baptist background who sees ghosts and is a member of a state task force formed to solve difficult cases, work closely together, as they have successfully on previous cases, to find the true killer. They realize quickly that it is possible the priest is the killer, but not probable. An old, retired, extremely well-educated and psychic priest in Jemez Springs haunted by visits from La Llorona his entire life becomes a major asset to the women as they move toward solving the case that seems to bring them nothing but dead ends--until the night it doesn't. Includes Glossary and Readers Guide.

Y como Olivorio Mateo, un pobre campesino mulato de San Juan de la Maguana, los hermanos Ventura Rodr guez y miles de dominicanos, fueron arrastrados a una muerte violenta a manos de quienes a n se esconden tras las m scaras del poder y la intolerancia para imponer sus ideas y tus intereses."Con excelente manejo de la tensi n y un dibujo exquisito, Gabriel Castillo nos lleva de la mano para narrar el declive y renacimiento del movimiento Liborista. Demostrando un buen manejo del arte secuencial, nos muestra esa parte olvidada de nuestra historia sin la cual es imposible entender el presente. de manera agradable y accesible ".-NINO MART NEZ SOSADirector de Liborio, la pel cula

Palma Sola, by Gabriel Castillo Campusano, is a graphic novel that, based on various sources, tells the story of a massacre of peasants perpetrated by the Dominican authorities in 1962, in Las Matas de Farf n, an event that, like the April Revolution 1965, marked with blood the second half of the 20th century in the Dominican Republic. The Ventura Rodr guez brothers, marked by history, were born linked to the most notable peasant movement in the Antilles: olivorism. And like Olivorio Mateo, a poor mulatto peasant from San Juan de la Maguana, the Ventura Rodr guez brothers and thousands of Dominicans, were dragged to violent death at the hands of those who still hide behind the masks of power and intolerance to impose their ideas and their interests.
