In the name of God
In the Name of God - Who Knew What When? will take the readers back to the beginning of the 2002 Catholic Church sex scandal implosion that ricocheted across the globe like breaking dominoes. Author Christine Dolan was there from before the break in the damn as an investigative journalist. Originally from Boston, and raised in a prominent Catholic family, Dolan was able to discover information that even the Massachusetts prosecutors were ignorant of in early January 2002. Her sources went deep inside the Church and when she realized the Church thought they were protected by Canon Law, she dug deeper into the criminal model whose goal was to protect the Church at all costs. Prosecutors were negotiating with Cardinal Law's lawyers. She told them to pivot and seize the "historical secret archives" regardless of the statute of limitation hurdles so they understood the roadmap. Dolan proved with documentation that the Church leadership had documents going back to the 3rd century. The Church collected their own evidence, created rehab centers, moved priests not from just from parish to parish domestically, but across international borders. It is a riveting investigation how the tools o
Nothing, Nobody
September 19, 1985: A powerful earthquake hits Mexico City in the early morning hours. As the city collapses, the government fails to respond. Long a voice of social conscience, prominent Mexican journalist Elena Poniatowska chronicles the disintegration of the city's physical and social structure, the widespread grassroots organizing against government corruption and incompetence, and the reliency of the human spirit.

In masterfully weaving together a multiplicity of...

A Latin American Existentialist Ethos
With their emphasis on freedom and engagement, European existentialisms offered Latin Americans transformative frameworks for thinking and writing about their own locales. In taking up these frameworks, Latin Americans endowed them with a distinctive ethos, a turn towards questions of identity and ethics. Stephanie Merrim situates major literary and philosophical works—by the existentialist Grupo Hiperión, Rosario Castellanos, Octavio Paz, José Revueltas, Juan Rulfo, and Rodolfo Usigli—within this dynamic context. Collectively, their writings manifest an existentialist ethos attuned to the matters most alive and pressing in their specific situations—matters linked to gender, Indigene...

The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
