Since the mid-1990s, political, legal, and historical debates about Nazi theft and confiscation of property, the use of slave labor during World War II, and restitution and compensation have reemerged. Revisiting the National Socialist Legacy presents completely new historical research on these issues conducted worldwide.This volume responds to concern about Holocaust era assets in Europe, the United States, and Latin America. It focuses on both reexamination of the history of National Socialist property theft and employment of forced labor in the wartime economy, and the compensation and restitution solutions advanced in various European and Latin American countries since 1945.

Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

Crónica y documento se reúnen para estudiar la relación entre texto dramático y representación en dos autores cubanos: Virgilio Piñera y Carlos Felipe, fundadores del teatro moderno entre 1947-48. A través de un panorama crítico de la escena de esos años, se analiza El chino, de Felipe y Electra Garrigó, de Piñera y se acompaña de críticas y reseñas de otras obras de ambos hasta 1965 cuando los autores están en plena madurez. Mientras Piñera se ha reconocido, Felipe ha sido discutido e ignorado. Si el estreno de Electra... fue un escándalo por su parodia de los clásicos, Felipe crea el mito y explora la búsqueda del imposible. Estudio de convergencias y oposiciones, aventura y riesgo, sirve para conocer el interior de la puesta en escena. Ilustrado, se incluyen opiniones críticas de Mirta Aguirre, Francisco Ichaso, Luis Amado Blanco, Matilde Muñoz Mario Rodríguez Alemán, Antón Arrufat y Rine Leal.
