Editorial

We, the editors of DeRLAS, are proud to be entering our third year of publication with an article from an up-and-coming economist from Costa Rica, Alexánder Castro-Reyes. His article on the bankruptcy of the Banco Anglo Costarricense is an important contribution to the theme, offering new lines of investigation.

Also included in this issue are two reviews of books dealing with important contemporary themes. The first, Femenino plural: la locura, la enfermedad, el cuerpo en las escritoras hispanoamericanas, presents themes that, until recently, have been kept silent and not been the subject of literary investigation. The second, Mexico Madness: Manifesto for a Disenchanted Generation, is an essay, written in the form of a diary, that goes beyond the author’s observations in Chiapas in December 1995, to present “a manifesto against the abuses of global capitalism inspired by the very hopeful Zapatista uprising.”

Extracción de rentas en la banca estatal costarricense: el caso del Banco Anglo Costarricense
(Latin American Studies Program, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 2002-02-15) Castro Reyes, Alexánder
Desde la nacionalización bancaria de 1949, el sistema financiero costarricense se ha caracterizado por un marcado intervencionismo estatal en la fijación de las tasas de interés y en la distribución del crédito.
On "Femenino plural: la locura, la enfermedad, el cuerpo en las escritoras hispanoamericanas: Ensayos contra el margen" edited by Gladys Ilarregui
(Latin American Studies Program, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 2002-02-15) Salgado, María A.
Los once ensayos que reúne Gladys Ilarregui en esta edición se ocupan de unos temas--la locura, la enfermedad y el cuerpo--tradicionalmente silenciados por la sociedad y que sólo en épocas recientes se han convertido en objeto de investigación literaria. Su edición representa por tanto un acercamiento valioso por lo poco usual al estudio de varios textos y obras de escritoras hispanas.
On "Mexico Madness: Manifesto for a Disenchanted Generation" by Eduardo García Aguilar
(Latin American Studies Program, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 2002-02-15) Adams, Anna
Mexico Madness: Manifesto for a Disenchanted Generation by Colombian journalist/novelist/ poet Eduardo García Aguilar is an often insightful and moving, sometimes self-indulgent essay inspired by García's journey to Chiapas in December of 1995, one year after the Zapatista uprising.
