Raíces de una nación marcada por la desigualdad
"Llegaron entonces los movimientos revolucionarios independentistas y con ello la conformación de la República de Colombia durante el siglo XIX, una centuria turbulenta, precaria y experimental. En un territorio inmenso, en gran parte baldío, con intereses de apropiación y concentración de tierras en pocas manos, pero peor: con la ausencia de una nación y una verdadera modernidad. A los republicanos letrados, políticos, militares, eclesiásticos y comerciantes, poco o nada les interesaba contribuir a solucionar el déficit fiscal heredado de la corona española, por lo que la naciente república vio en el endeudamiento interno y externo la solución pírrica a sus males. Gómez Jimén...
Social Sciences
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology
Latin American Societies in Transition
This is an examination of the social structures that shape Latin American societies. Knowledge of demography, rural and urban life, and ethnic and status relationships is critical for understanding the political and economic fabric of those societies. Although the author draws on materials from all the social sciences, the primary frame of reference is sociological. The book presents, in an organized form, the findings from an ever-growing number of studies about Latin American society. The book proceeds from a brief introduction of the political and economic patterns of Latin America to an examination of the country as a social system. The focus of the text is an analysis of social processe...

País raquítico, país robusto
El despoblamiento es un fenómeno que avanza de manera tácita y que afecta hoy por hoy a cerca de la mitad de los municipios de Colombia. Otra porción significativa de estos, casi una tercera parte, se encuentra en riesgo de despoblamiento y, por tanto, sobre una porción cada vez más pequeña de municipios recae la responsabilidad de la acogida al crecimiento de la población. El país raquítico es ese conjunto de municipios que padecen el despoblamiento y que contrasta con el país robusto que acoge sistemáticamente a más residentes. El desequilibrio es la regla en la ocupación del territorio colombiano y tiende a acentuarse ante la omisión estatal para inter- venir a fin de contrarrestar sus externalidades negativas. Esta obra se ocupa de llamar la atención societal sobre la cuestión poblacional en Colombia, acudiendo al balance certero de los demógrafos, a las explicaciones sociodemográficas y a las propuestas de política de los economistas espaciales.
Popular Voices in Latin American Catholicism
Throughout Latin America, observers and activists have found in religion a promise of deep and long-lasting democratization. But for religion to change culture and politics, religion itself must change. Such change is not only a matter of doctrine, ritual, or institutional arrangements but also arises out of the needs, values, and ideas of average believers. Combining rich interviews and community studies in Venezuela and Colombia with analysis of broad ideological and institutional transformations, Daniel Levine examines how religious and cultural change begins and what gives it substance and lasting impact. The author focuses on the creation of self-confident popular groups among hitherto ...
Deconstrucción y concordancia del desarrollo
El libro consta de dos partes, la deconstrucción y la concordancia del Desarrollo. La primera parte muestra la complejidad que existe para producir, aplicar y difundir nuevo conocimiento frente al pensamiento único dominante y a la pérdida de la ruta del humanismo del Desarrollo como elección moral, que originó el modelo neoliberal después de los años ochenta. Explica los umbrales de la cuenca del Desarrollo (económico, económico-social, humano, durable o sostenible, intolerable, decrecimiento) en términos de las principales políticas y del manejo del tiempo de los negocios empresariales, social, del individuo, de las generaciones futuras y del planeta; examina las interacciones o...
