«La apuesta de un joven narrador por integrarse a la narrativa breve es, en el panorama mexicano actual, una peripecia notable. Cuando, además, lo hace con la seriedad, el entusiasmo y la destreza de Bladimir Ramírez, podríamos hablar aun de un motivo para celebrar. Prueba de resistencia, su primer libro de cuentos, es muestra de esta aseveración. Cuentos tensos, sin concesiones, que calan en los rincones oscuros del espíritu humano y se ocupan de reflejar aquellas heridas abiertas que nuestra sociedad sostiene con ciertas poblaciones vulnerables. La exploración de la sexualidad —particularmente, las primeras relaciones homosexuales—, así como las vicisitudes que se viven en las ...

In the years since Fidel Castro came to power, the migration of close to one million Cubans to the United States continues to remain one of the most fascinating, unusual, and controversial movements in American history. María Cristina García—a Cuban refugee raised in Miami—has experienced firsthand many of the developments she describes, and has written the most comprehensive and revealing account of the postrevolutionary Cuban migration to date. García deftly navigates the dichotomies and similarities between cultures and among generations. Her exploration of the complicated realm of Cuban American identity sets a new standard in social and cultural history.
En 2018, Paraíso Perdido en conjunto con La Décima Letra (editorial independiente especializada en literatura de diversidad sexual) lanzaron la convocatoria abierta "Si era dicha o dolor",en la cual se solicitaban textos que abordaran de manera clara la cuestión del primer amor desde la perspectiva de las sexualidades no hegemónicas. De esta manera llegaron ciento catorce cuentos que celebraban jubilosa e incluso pesarosamente, la emoción de jóvenes gays, lesbianas o trans al enfrentarse por primera vez al misterio del primer enamoramiento. El comité de selección estuvo compuesto por: Ernesto Reséndiz Oikión, Gabriela Torres Cuerva y Luis Martín Ulloa. Fueron elegidos los cuentos que aquí presentamos. Diez autores de diversas regiones del país: Jalisco, Oaxaca, CDMX, Sinaloa, Durango y Michoacán. De diferentes formaciones y profesiones, edades y estilos, a través de sus textos nos descubren las muy diversas vías en las que se vive el amor primero.

This may well be the most significant piece of writing to come out of Cuba in 33 years--or the life of the Cuban Revolution of 1959. Since Fidel Castro has always made the claim that "History Shall Absolve Me," the author of this book, journalist, writer and human rights activist, Roberto Luque Escalona, subjects this self-inflicted judgment to the facts of real history and finds that history shall condemn rather than absolve the long-standing dictator of Cuba. The Castro regime is besieged by internal and external pressures. The worsening economic crisis in Cuba is the result of changes taking place in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, where nations that have begun liberating themselves ...
Striking a balance between peace and justice has long been debated by scholars and practitioners. There has been definite progress in a world in which blanket amnesties were at times granted with little hesitation. There is a growing understanding that accountability has both pragmatic and principled arguments in its favor. Practical arguments as much as shifts in norms have created a situation in which the choice is increasingly seen as "which forms of accountability" rather than a stark one between peace and justice. The Colombian Justice and Peace Law 975 and its implementation offer an interesting and unique approach to dealing with the international crimes committed in Colombia’s decades-long armed conflict. Yet, will this approach suffice with regard to Colombia’s obligations under international law to investigate and prosecute international crimes? Does it meet the standards of the ICC, which has been monitoring the Colombian situation for some time now? In particular, does it pass the complementarity test laid out in the ICC statute or will the ICC have to intervene in Colombia to enforce international criminal law?
