Bases para una reforma de la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual
La Disposición Final de la Ley 21/2014 establecía que el Gobierno, en el plazo de un año desde la entrada en vigor de la misma, debía afrontar una reforma integral de nuestra vigente Ley de Propiedad Intelectual, lo que a día de hoy no ha tenido lugar. La Ley de Propiedad Intelectual data de 1987 y, a pesar de las sucesivas modificaciones que de la misma se han ido produciendo, se encuentra necesitada de una reforma en profundidad. El paso a una sociedad digital, así como las nuevas exigencias sociales y culturales, requieren una nueva visión en diversos temas. En este libro se abordan, precisamente, las cuestiones más importantes que deberían ser tenidas en cuenta a la hora de proc...
Slave Families and the Hato Economy in Puerto Rico
Scholarship on slavery in the Caribbean frequently emphasizes sugar and tobacco production, but this unique work illustrates the importance of the region’s hato economy—a combination of livestock ranching, foodstuff cultivation, and timber harvesting—on the living patterns among slave communities. David Stark makes use of extensive Catholic parish records to provide a comprehensive examination of slavery in Puerto Rico and across the Spanish Caribbean. He reconstructs slave families to examine incidences of marriage, as well as birth and death rates. The result are never-before-analyzed details on how many enslaved Africans came to Puerto Rico, where they came from, and how their populations grew through natural increase. Stark convincingly argues that when animal husbandry drove much of the island’s economy, slavery was less harsh than in better-known plantation regimes geared toward crop cultivation. Slaves in the hato economy experienced more favorable conditions for family formation, relatively relaxed work regimes, higher fertility rates, and lower mortality rates.

Puerto Rico under Colonial Rule
Puerto Rico, one of the last and most populated colonial territories in the world, occupies a relatively unique position. Its lengthy interaction with the United States has resulted in the long-term acquisition of expanded legal rights and relative political stability. At the same time, that interaction has simultaneously seen political intolerance and the denial of basic rights, particularly toward those who have challenged colonialism. In Puerto Rico under Colonial Rule, academics and intellectuals from the fields of political science, history, sociology, and law examine three themes: evidence of state-sponsored political persecution in the twentieth century, contemporary issues, and the case of Vieques.

Luisa Capetillo, Pioneer Puerto Rican Feminist
Luisa Capetillo (1879-1922) was a pioneer in the struggle for women's and workers' rights. A feminist and an anarchist, she earned her living as a labor leader and journalist. She wrote brilliant theoretical essays and published four books, including several plays. Ahead of her time, she espoused vegetarianism, a daily regime of Swedish calisthenics, and was the first woman in the Caribbean to wear pants in public. Her life can be read as a dramatic novel, every day an intense ode to personal and political liberation. This biography, the only in-depth historical account of her life and work, rescued her from oblivion and made her a popular icon throughout Latin America. This edition, the first available in English, brings Capetillo's inspiring story to a broader audience.
