Xenophobia and Nativism in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean
This book historicises and analyses the increasing incidence of xenophobia and nativism in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. It examines how xenophobia and nativism impact the political cohesion and social fabric of states and societies in the regions and offers solutions to aid policy formation and implementation. Rather than utilising an overarching framework, individual theory is applied to chapters to analyse the diverse connections between xenophobia and nativism in the regions. The book explores the economic, nationalistic, political, social, cultural, and psychological triggers for xenophobia and nativism and their impact on an increasingly interconnected and interrelated world. In addition to the individual and comparative examination of these triggers, the book outlines how they can be decreased or altered and argues that Pan-Africanism and the unity of purpose among diverse groups in the western hemisphere is still an ideal to which Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean can aspire. This book will be of interest to academics in the field of African history, African Studies, Caribbean and Latin American studies, cultural anthropology and comparative sociology.
The Gas Sector in Latin Europe’s Industrial History
This volume sheds light on the technical and institutional handicaps that the gas industry had to face since the early 19th century to consolidate its position in the energy market. It traces the history of gas energy use in a European context to understand the reasons for its crucial nature in the region. Going back to the start of gas production in England and France at the turn of the 18th century, the book has a specific focus on Latin Europe: Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy. Topics discussed include, but are not limited to the evolution of gas technology and associations; capital, technical, and human transfer among countries; strategies carried out by gas companies to promote their ...
Economic History of the European Energy Industry
Global climate change and the war in Ukraine have put energy back on the agenda for Europe in a way that has not been seen since the oil crisis of the 1970s. But the economics and business of supplying energy to Europe has a long and rich history going back to the nineteenth century. This book explores changes in energy markets, strategies, firms and investments during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The primary focus is on manufactured gas—the gas that was initially produced from coal distillation until new ways of manufacturing gas emerged after the Second World War. The expert contributors to this volume draw on their extensive research and utilise primary sources to explore a w...
Tiempo antes, tiempo después
La historia que se cuenta en este libro puede ser biográfica, o no; del mismo modo que se puede considerar una ficción, o no. La acción discurre a caballo entre dos tiempos: uno de ellos, el tiempo de antes, ha sucedido. Por supuesto, ha sido objeto de las alteraciones y cambios que constituyen la licencia del autor para evitar herir sensibilidades y preservar la identidad de los actores implicados, pero la esencia de los acontecimientos responde a la realidad en un porcentaje bastante elevado de veracidad. El otro, el tiempo de después, quizá sea el de menos, o quizá sea el que verdaderamente importe. En primer lugar, porque el futuro que nos aguarda bien puede parecerse al escenario ...
El historiador como docente
En este libro se recogen varias aportaciones en torno a un tema central: el desafío que deben afrontar los historiadores en la medida en que, además de dedicarse a la investigación, han de desempeñar una labor docente y, como tal, de comunicación en la sociedad actual, caracterizada precisamente por la avalancha informativa y la proliferación de noticias falsas, también conocidas como "bulos" o "fake news". Los capítulos giran en torno a la necesidad de revalorizar nuestra disciplina científica, la identificación de herramientas alternativas para la enseñanza de la historia en las aulas, y un compendio de buenas prácticas educativas cuyo fin no es otro que demostrar que otra historia es posible, no para alejarnos de nuestras raíces científicas, sino para dirigirnos al público actual en un lenguaje que le resulte familiar y, al mismo tiempo, presentarnos como alternativa clara, rigurosa y objetiva, a otras noticias e informaciones de dudosa veracidad.
Black Spartacus
The definitive modern biography of the great slave leader, military genius and revolutionary hero Toussaint Louverture The Haitian Revolution began in the French Caribbean colony of Saint-Domingue with a slave revolt in August 1791, and culminated a dozen years later in the proclamation of the world's first independent black state.

During the course of his extraordinary life he confronted some of the dominant forces of his age - slavery, settler colonialism, imperialism and racial hierarchy....
