Since independence from Spain, a trope has remained pervasive in Latin America's republican imaginary: that of an endless antagonism pitting civilization against barbarism as irreconcilable poles within which a nation's life unfolds. This book apprehends that trope not just as the phantasmatic projection of postcolonial elites fearful of the popular sectors but also as a symptom of a stubborn historical predicament: the cyclical insistence with which the subaltern populations menacingly return to the nation's public spaces in the form of crowds.Focused on Venezuela but relevant to the rest of Latin America, and drawing on a rich theoretical literature including authors like Derrida, Foucault, Lacoue-Labarthe, Nancy, Lyotard, Laclau, Taussig, and others, Dancing Jacobins is a genealogical investigation of the intrinsically populist "monumental governmentality" that in response to this predicament began to take shape in that nation at the time of independence. Informed by a Bolivarian political theology, the nation's representatives, or "dancing Jacobins," recursively draw on the repertoire of busts, portraits, and equestrian statues of national heroes scattered across Venezuela in a montage of monuments and dancing—or universal and particular. They monumentalize themselves on the stage of the polity as a ponderously statuesque yet occasionally riotous reflection of the nation's general will.To this day, the nervous oscillation between crowds and peoplehood intrinsic to this form of government has inflected the republic's institutions and constructs, from the sovereign "people" to the nation's heroic imaginary, its constitutional texts, representative figures, parliamentary structures, and, not least, its army. Through this movement of collection and dispersion, these institutions are at all times haunted and imbued from within by the crowds they otherwise set out to mold, enframe, and address.

Been Had Paper is about a group of best friends who were all poor growing up until Oyah decided to turn things around and got into the drug game. In no time, he became knee high in the game and form a family called (Tha Fam). They believe Loyalty is not a word, it's a Lifestyle and they all vowed to live that lifestyle. Tha Fam quickly became the most powerful family in Manatee and Sarasota County, running the entire 941 area code with guns blazing. It's either you are with Tha Fam or against them. Oyah finds himself going up against two very powerful gangs from the city. Everyone wants the Throne, but there could only be one Family. Tha Fam ended up saving a group of girls from a Sex Trafficking Ring and that's when Tha Hyenas was formed. Together Tha Fam and Tha Hyenas expanded Oyah's Empire by taking over the surrounding cities like Tampa and Orlando, but then the unthinkable happened when someone close to Tha Fam crossed the line of no return. Casualties crippled Tha Fam.....Will Oyah and Tha Fam beat the odds stacked against them or will they lose everything that they have worked for to their Opps? In these pages, you will see friends that came from nothing and became Millionaires. You will see how greed turn people into snakes and everyone's loyalty will be tested to see if they live up to what they claim to believe. The audience that I'm looking for, is everyone from the Urban areas of the World, where you have to do things you really don't want to do in order to get what you want. Men and women who can relate to what the characters of the books are going through. Life struggles, people who have dealt with loyal and disloyal people, cheating men and women. People who knows both sides of being rich and poor. All the envy that comes with success. I want to reach the streets and speak for those that can't and have the ones that can relate to at least one character in the series.

What is the relationship between a writer’s life, milieu, and thought? In this daring and intellectually expansive text, part memoir and part political philosophy, the anthropologist Rafael Sánchez explores the forces and events that shaped him and the nations through which he moved. Reconocimientos is a book of both personal and political reckoning, from the thrillingly emancipatory possibilities of Venezuela’s plazas to the political promise and disappointments of revolution. Written in the final year of his life, Reconocimientos moves from scenes of Sánchez’s youth in Cuba to fieldwork on the cult of Maria Lionza in Venezuela to confront the terrifying and alluring forces of patriarchal privilege at the base of monumentalist authoritarianism. Sánchez’s intimate prose speaks with the urgency both of his own mortality and of the political crises of our moment. Amid the resurgence of patriarchy, hierarchy, and the valorization of inequality that have become pillars of populist movements in Latin America and beyond, Sánchez finds a residual radical possibility in ‘horizontal’ spaces, where the forces of mimesis permit manifold transformations.
