[We share the following announcement on a Spanish-language book series.]
Tirant Lo Blanch is one of the foremost law publishing houses in the Spanish-speaking world. Its sales catalogue exceeds 1,700 books and it publishes more than 250 new titles per year. It is based in Valencia, Spain, and is in the process of expansion in Latin America. Tirant has distinguished itself by publishing state-of-the-art books that explore deficiencies and challenges of contemporary law, as well as updated manuals and textbooks adapted to the digital teaching environment.
In 2018, Tirant started a book series on the Legal History of Latin America, aimed to serve as a convergence point of the diverse legal historiographies of the region, as well as a publishing platform for the best and newest studies in the field.
With a view to promoting the participation of legal historians in the renewal of Latin American legal culture, this collection is publishing books that explore the dynamic relationships between law, society, culture, politics and economics from a historical perspective. In so doing, it intends to overcome the traditional formalism of legal history in the region. The main premise of this collection is that law can only be fully understood in the light of the social reality that shapes it, which in turn is influenced by law in various ways. This is why it fosters studies that address the cultural dimension of law, its changing historical meanings, and its concrete enforcement and effective rule in social life, as it can be gleaned from judicial and administrative records.
The collection is directed by Dr. Pablo Mijangos, professor at CIDE (Mexico), and assisted by an editorial board made up of the following members:
• Alejandro Agüero, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Argentina)
• Mario Alberto Cajas, Universidad ICESI (Colombia)
• José Ramón Cossío Díaz, El Colegio de México (México)
• Tamar Herzog, Harvard University (USA)
• Timothy M. James, University of South Carolina, Beaufort, SC (USA)
