Conversaciones con Carlos Altamirano
Una lectura absolutamente imprescindible para interpretar la historia reciente de Chile sin anteojeras.
Heaven, eternity, and perfection
This book is a collection of essays and reflections on the relationship between faith and reason by a family man aware that he and his wife are the first educators of their children. The first essay is the longest and the one that gives the title to this work as a whole. Some of the questions it raises and tries to answer are: What does heaven mean to believers today? Is it the same as the heaven where the sun, the other stars, the moon, and the planets are? And if we distinguish one heaven from the other today, was it ever considered the same? Why? And what about the writings that speak of "the heavens" in the plural? What relationship does the heavenly have with the eternal and with the perfect? Is perfect merely the absence of errors? What do we understand by eternal? Is eternal life the same as living forever or for all the years the universe has ahead of it?
Altamirano
Un libro contundente que revela la vida y obra de Altamirano, uno de los hombres mas poderosos de su tiempo. Uno de los diez hombres más buscados en Chile tras el fatídico golpe militar de 1973 fue Carlos Altamirano Orrego. La «Bestia Negra», como lo llamaban los afines a la dictadura militar, había sido uno de los grandes artífices de la Unidad Popular, tenía una relación íntima con Salvador Allende, era famoso por sus «incendiarios» discursos y en ese tiempo se desempeñaba como secretario general del Partido Socialista. Según los militares, era un peligro para la nación. La destacada periodista Patricia Politzer, en pleno retorno a la democracia, consiguió entrevistarse en París largamente con Carlos Altamirano, para indagar en eso que todos los chilenos se preguntaban: ¿cómo logro escapar de Chile? ¿Cuál era su opinión sobre la lucha armada y el marxismo-leninismo? ¿Cuáles eran los conflictos más íntimos de Salvador Allende? ¿Qué futuro tendría la renovación socialista? A cuarenta años del golpe militar, Altamirano sigue siendo un libro imprescindible para comprender una época y a un personaje esencial para la historia de Chile.

A History of Literature in the Caribbean
Cross-Cultural Studies is the culminating effort of a distinguished team of international scholars who have worked since the mid-1980s to create the most complete analysis of Caribbean literature ever undertaken. Conceived as a major contribution to postcolonial studies, cultural studies, cultural anthropology, and regional studies of the Caribbean and the Americas, Cross-Cultural Studies illuminates the interrelations between and among Europe, the Caribbean islands, Africa, and the American continents from the late fifteenth century to the present. Scholars from five continents bring to bear on the most salient issues of Caribbean literature theoretical and critical positions that are curre...
Ranquil
The first major history of Chile’s most significant peasant rebellion and the violent repression that followed In 1934, peasants turned to revolution to overturn Chile’s oligarchic political order and the profound social inequalities in the Chilean countryside. The brutal military counterinsurgency that followed was one of the worst acts of state terror in Chile until the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973–1990). Using untapped archival sources, award-winning scholar Thomas Miller Klubock exposes Chile’s long history of political violence and authoritarianism and chronicles peasants’ movements to build a more just and freer society. Klubock further explores how an amnesty law that erased both the rebellion and the military atrocities lay the foundation for the political stability that characterized Chile’s multi-party democracy. This historical amnesia or olvido, Klubock argues, was a precondition of national reconciliation and democratic rule, which endured until 1973, when conflict in the countryside ended once again with violent repression during the Pinochet dictatorship.
