The Bolivian Studies Journal is a peer-reviewed publication that responds to the growing interest in understanding the past and present of historical and cultural processes in Bolivia.

Illuminations

Illuminations at the University of Pittsburgh Press features cutting-edge books on Latin American and inter-American societies, histories, and cultures that offer new perspectives from postcolonial, subaltern, feminist, and cultural studies, taking its inspiration from the idea of the illumination, which the critic Walter Benjamin famously defined as "that image of the past which unexpectedly appears to someone singled out by history at a moment of danger."
