Bedlam in the New World
A rebellious Indian proclaiming noble ancestry and entitlement, a military lieutenant foreshadowing the coming of revolution, a blasphemous Creole embroiderer in possession of a bundle of sketches brimming with pornography. All shared one thing in common. During the late eighteenth century, they were deemed to be mad and forcefully admitted to the Hospital de San Hipolito in Mexico City, the first hospital of the New World to specialize in the care and custody of the mentally disturbed. Christina Ramos reconstructs the history of this overlooked colonial hospital from its origins in 1567 to its transformation in the eighteenth century, when it began to admit a growing number of patients transferred from the Inquisition and secular criminal courts. Drawing on the poignant voices of patients, doctors, friars, and inquisitors, Ramos treats San Hipolito as both a microcosm and a colonial laboratory of the Hispanic Enlightenment—a site where traditional Catholicism and rationalist models

Förtorkade Liv
Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953), Brasilien, betraktas som en av sitt hemlands mest framstående författare. Han var också verksam som journalist och politiker. I två år satt han fängslad för sina åsikters skull, en erfarenhet som han beskrivit i verket Fängelseminnen, ett slags ögonvittnesskildring av de fasansfulla förhållandena som rådde i Brasiliens fängelser under diktatorn Vargas tid. Litterärt räknas Ramos till socialrealisterna. Förtorkade liv, Vidas secas, är Ramos mest berömda roman. Den publicerades på trettiotalet och liksom hans övriga tre romaner utspelar den sig i Nordeste. "Det är en berättelse som mycket på grund av sitt karga språk får läsaren att känna flyktingarnas umbäranden inpå huden. Det är inte bara torkan som förföljer familjen, utan den blir också offer för dem som har makten." - Eva Stenvång
