The Others
The Others reconstructs the history of migration and naturalization of foreigners in Mexico during the first half of the twentieth century. Despite never receiving large influxes of foreigners, paradoxically Mexico has applied particularly tight controls on migration and naturalization. Why did it choose to limit the arrival of foreigners when their numbers were so low as a proportion of the total population? In a nation riven by ethnic prejudices and with post-revolutionary governments swift to criticize racial discrimination, what can explain the strong racialization of naturalization and migration policies?

Blood
Blood Collected Stories Winner of the 2016 Indie Book Awards (Short Stories) Noelle Q. de Jesus’ collection of short stories is a striking debut of cultural exchanges and foreign tongues: stories that trace and sustain the conflict between man and woman, parent and child, country and identity, self and sexuality, love and loss. "... De Jesus' characters inhabit a world of regret, loss and unfulfilled longing. In these works, there is as much said in the silences and ellipses, as there are in the fraught, perfunctory exchanges. ... De Jesus' economy of words and her voice, bleak and spare, yet intimate, recalls the virtuosity of short story fiction masters, such as Lorrie Moore and Edith Pearlman." -The Straits Times “At the start of each compact narrative in this collection, Noelle Q. de Jesus places a cunning tiger of thrilling tension ready to spring. Thematically cogent, these stories are about the lives of the displaced" -Michael Carroll, Author of Little Reef and Other Stories, Lambda Literary Award Winner 2015 “Carefully crafted and richly observed, these stories are filled with unforgettable women" -F.H. Batacan, Author of Smaller and Smaller Circles

Dumping social e a Condição das Mulheres no Mercado de Trabalho
O dumping social configura como a prática reiterada de desrespeito à legislação trabalhista como forma de obter vantagem econômica sobre a concorrência. Representa evidente retrocesso social, na medida em que denota violação aos direitos trabalhistas das obreiras e obreiros; ao mesmo tempo em que incorre em prática daninha à própria lógica do sistema capitalista de produção, haja vista resultar em concorrência desleal. Diante desse quadro, a condição das mulheres no mercado de trabalho, em especial da mulher negra, deve ser desinvisibilizada e configurar também objeto de especial atenção na busca pela contenção das práticas de dumping social. Dessa forma, o presente li...

Quijano. Detrás de la letra
Manolo Quijano cuenta de sus canciones más emblemáticas hasta donde puede contar de la verdad de cada composición, y cuenta bastante... ¿Quién fue la “Lola” y cuál es la extraordinaria leyenda que se esconde tras ella? ¿Dónde se encuentra la “Taberna del buda” y qué sucedió, de verdad, en aquel curioso lugar? ¿Quién fue su “Preciosa amiga” a la que le dedica versos tan bonitos?
