AN IRISH INDEPENDENT BOOK TO CATCH YOUR IMAGINATION 'A psychedelic fever dream' ESQUIRE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK 'A wildly original anti-capitalist satire' GUARDIAN 'A rip-roaring satire of late capitalism and humanity's unerring instinct for self-sabotage' IRISH TIMES 'An incandescent imagination' VALERIA LUISELLI The year is 2272. New York and Buenos Aires were submerged years ago and the Patagonian archipelagos are the only habitable lands on Earth. Here, Dengue Boy is a humanoid mosquito whose monstrous appearance repulses everyone, including his own mother. As the world spirals to its end, Dengue Boy searches for the meaning of his life and his true origins. Elsewhere, adults exploit the value of pandemics on the Stock Exchange and waste the last of Earth's resources, while their privileged children plug into virtual realities and stream violent video games. For readers of China Miéville, Samanta Schweblin and Mariana Enríquez, with joyful, savage flair, Dengue Boy blends body horror and cyberpunk to deliver an extraordinary portrait of a demented future. Translated from Spanish by Rahul Bery

Borges meets Isabel Waidner and Mariana Enriquez in this punk dystopia which introduces a bold, brilliant new voice from Argentina

Latin American Political Economy

This book provides a critical analysis of how credit rating agencies engage with the political and economic dynamics of developing countries. Focusing on Brazil and Argentina, it demonstrates how S&amp;P Global, Moody’s Investor Service, and Fitch Ratings—the "Big Three"—employ a politics of risk that seeks to advance the interests of global financial markets while interacting with domestic governance processes. Drawing on underexplored materials such as sovereign rating reports and press releases, this book examines how these agencies deploy their evaluations and public statements as instruments of this politics of risk. Their actions respond to the political risk conditions they identify, which are shaped by factors such as government ideology and shifts in the international context. Through detailed case studies of Brazil and Argentina, this book shows how credit rating agencies become part of wider political disputes over economic policy and governance in the Global South. Bringing together key debates in International Political Economy, "Political Risk and the Politics of Risk" sheds light on the intersections of financialization, neoliberalism, and the tensions between financial globalization and democratic governance. By revisiting recent political and economic developments in two of Latin America’s largest economies, this book fills a crucial gap in the literature and offers fresh insights into the often-overlooked role of credit rating agencies in contemporary global capitalism. This book will be of interest to scholars, students, and practitioners in International Political Economy, Political Science, Development Studies, and Latin American studies, as well as those seeking to understand the complex relationships between finance, politics, and power in emerging economies.

Adolfo Bioy Casares sah im Kino eine gewaltige Herausforderung für die Literatur, auf die er mit spezifisch literarischen Strategien reagierte. Bei den Verfilmungen seiner Texte erwiesen sich just diese Techniken als große Hürden: Die Herausforderung durch den Film wandelte sich zu einer Herausforderung an den Film. Matthias Hausmann widmet sich den filmisch geprägten Texten des argentinischen Autors sowie deren Adaptionen für die Leinwand. Damit rückt er einen bislang wenig beachteten Komplex der Film-Literatur-Beziehungen in den Fokus und gewinnt dadurch neue Erkenntnisse über narrative Verfahren, insbesondere die mise en abyme.

The Global Bestseller from the International Booker Prize-shortlisted Author of Fever Dream CONFRONT THE DARKNESS 'A fabulous writer. Her stories are subtle, always haunting and deeply human' - Isabel Allende A young mother steps into the water, determined to end her life. What will bring her back? 'You will find yourself in the space on the other side of terror - a space of openness, fragility and strange reassurance' - The Guardian For a single moment, a baby is left unattended in a room of everyday dangers. 'Just stellar - Extreme, uncanny and beautifully controlled' - Anne Enright In a high-rise apartment block, in a city far from home, a ghost appears. 'A master of the uncanny' - The New Yorker When a lonely woman acts on a kind impulse the consequences will be dark, bold and revelatory. 'These stories are perfect for the times we dwell inside' - Colum McCann From the thrice International Booker nominated author of Fever Dream and Little Eyes come six perfect terrors to change your days and haunt your dreams.

Good and Evil and Other Stories

Set in a stark landscape of cliffs and precipices high above the Argentine pampas, Mariana Travacio's All That Dies in April follows the members of one small family as each makes a solitary journey out of their treacherous mountain home in search of a better life.
"Hypnotic, almost ancestral voices echo through&nbsp;this novel&nbsp;like whispers in the wilderness, like orphan cries and wounds of light accompanying us on a powerful journey from which none of us will emerge unscathed."&nbsp;-Agustina Bazterrica,&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Tender is the Flesh
Lina has dreamt for years of leaving her tiny village in the drought-stricken region. Her son left long ago to find work and a better fortune. Relicario, her husband, is content to stay put in the land of his ancestors, tending to their graves. Ignoring Relicario’s pleas, a desperate Lina decides to abandon their home in search of her son, work, and water. She starts her journey on foot, and Relicario eventually follows behind, bringing a donkey and a sack with his ancestors’ bones. Both witness unspeakable violence, cruelty, and folly, but the hope of reuniting their family keeps them alive. 
Poetically charged, restrained, and delicately condensed, this is a suspenseful ancestral tale rooted in a long Latin American history of rural displacement and perpetual inequality.

All That Dies in April

A breakout, genre-blurring novel from one of the most exciting new voices of Latin American's feminist gothic. Across two different time periods, two women confront fear, loneliness, mortality, and a haunting yearning that will not let them rest. In the nineteenth century, a vampire arrives from Europe to the coast of Buenos Aires, on the run from the Church. She must adapt, intermingle with humans, and, most importantly, be discreet. In present-day Buenos Aires, a woman finds herself at an impasse as she grapples with her mother's terminal illness and her own relationship with motherhood. When she first encounters the vampire in a cemetery, something ignites within the two women - and they cross a threshold from which there's no turning back. Thirst plays with the boundaries of genre while exploring the limits of female agency, the consuming power of desire, and the fragile vitality of even the most immortal of creatures.

Thirst

The dramatic inside story of the most important case in the history of sovereign debt lawArgentina's 2001 default on $100 billion in bonds and the messy litigation that followed has had an outsized impact on sovereign debt markets, sovereign debt law, and the International Monetary Fund's policies. This is the sovereign debt case study that scholars, legal practitioners, investors, and overindebted countries must understand-and Default provides the first comprehensive account of these events. Deeply researched and meticulously documented, Default follows Argentina as it manages its tumultuous relationship with external creditors, from its December 2001 default through an intense fight over the role of the IMF in Argentina's 2005 debt restructuring and finally the April 2016 settlement of most legal claims. Pairing unbiased exposition with masterful character portraits and actual dialogue from the public record, Gregory Makoff brings his readers into the rooms--including board rooms, negotiating rooms, and courtrooms in New York, Washington, and around the world--as the events unfold. By revealing the obscure inner workings of sovereign debt restructuring, Makoff gives us a cautionary tale for the ages that lays bare the institutional, political, and legal pressures that come into play when a country cannot repay its debts. Besides making an important contribution to the literature, Default has stimulated interest from a wide range of readers around the globe, including academics, practicing legal experts, debt investors, government officials, financial reporters, bankers, staff members of international financial institutions, and general readers.

Argentine Freedom
 provides the first account of the most disruptive figure in Argentine history since the nation’s return to democracy. In just a few years, Javier Milei rose from television economist and social media provocateur to president of a country long defined by crisis, state intervention, and political polarization. His ascent has sparked fierce debate at home and abroad: is Milei a threat to democracy, a neo-conservative, or the herald of a much larger liberal revival?
 
 The book provides a balanced examination of Milei’s rise to power. Rather than judging his policies, economic historian Sebastián Álvarez and political philosopher Ezequiel Spector ask a deeper set of questions: Where do Milei’s ideas come from? How do they relate to Argentina’s liberal tradition and its history of populism, socialism, and authoritarianism? And what does his presidency reveal about the tensions between liberty, equality, and democracy in the twenty first century?&nbsp;
 
 Blending economic history, political philosophy, and contemporary analysis,&nbsp;
 Argentine Freedom
 traces Argentina’s long ideological arc from the liberal foundations of the 1853 Constitution, through Peronism, military rule, neoliberal reform, and the interventionist turn after the 2001 collapse, to the two liberal “waves” that culminated in Milei’s election. Along the way, it unpacks the meanings of liberalism and libertarianism, contrasts them with their main rivals, and situates Milei within both national history and a broader global surge of anti establishment leaders.
 
 The resulting book offers a framework for understanding Javier Milei as a political actor—and Argentina as a country once again at a crossroads.
 Sebastián Álvarez
 is Professor at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Chile and Associate Researcher at the Graduate Institute in Geneva, Switzerland.

 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019).
 Ezequiel Spector
 is Research Professor and Director of the Master of Arts program in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Adolfo Ibáñez University in Chile. He is the author of

In seinem Buch rekonstruiert Christoph Joppich die Entwicklung des modernen Antisemitismus in Argentinien. Durch einen universalhistorischen Ansatz werden Kolonialherrschaft, Unabhängigkeit, Nationenbildung, Faschismus, Kalter Krieg und die Gegenwart gesellschaftstheoretisch miteinander verknüpft. Geschichtliche Überlegungen werden durch empirische Inhaltsanalysen ergänzt. Dabei erfährt der Gegenstand eine sozialkritische Deutung, mit einem besonderen Augenmerk auf seine bislang wenig erforschten linken und israelbezogenen Ausprägungen.

Eine kritische Gesellschaftsgeschichte von der Unabhängigkeit bis in die Gegenwart

Antisemitismus in Argentinien

'A brilliant and challenging book' GORDON BROWNFrom the founder of Britain's leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies - and how to go about it.If you're shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you're not alone.Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain - with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK - has been far from immune from far-right politics.From HOPE not hate's pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the 'manosphere' and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of 'race science' and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain's deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism.His conclusions - which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners - suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples - from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford - of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate.
