¡A Leer!
¡A LEER! es una recopilación de cuentos. Algunos de ellos, historias reales ocurridas a estudiantes de sectores marginados, de ahí el subtitulo Cuentos para la escuela y otros son relatos mágicos sacados de la imaginación y la influencia del Nobel Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Este libro de Cuentos es la creación de quien por muchos años creyó odiar la lectura, creencia sustentada en la poca cercanía que durante su niñez tuvo con los libros, en su casa nunca los hubo, y la poca motivación que despertaron en él sus maestros. Esta resistencia a leer desaparece luego de sumergirse en la lectura del libro la Vorágine de José Eustasio Rivera. Su preferencia por todo tipo de texto narrativo lo llevó prontamente a desear escribir cuentos. El propósito de ¡A LEER! cuentos para la escuela, es que sea para muchos lo que fue para el autor La Vorágine, una ventana a la imaginación y a nuevos horizontes.

Maya Intellectual Renaissance
When Mayan leaders protested the celebration of the Quincentenary of the "discovery" of America and joined with other indigenous groups in the Americas to proclaim an alternate celebration of 500 years of resistance, they rose to national prominence in Guatemala. This was possible in part because of the cultural, political, economic, and religious revitalization that occurred in Mayan communities in the later half of the twentieth century. Another result of the revitalization was Mayan students' enrollment in graduate programs in order to reclaim the intellectual history of the brilliant Mayan past. Victor Montejo was one of those students. This is the first book to be published outside of G...

Managing Chronicity in Unequal States
By portraying the circumstances of people living with chronic conditions in radically different contexts, from Alzheimer’s patients in the UK to homeless people with psychiatric disorders in India, Managing Chronicity in Unequal States offers glimpses of what dealing with medically complex conditions in stratified societies means. While in some places the state regulates and intrudes on the most intimate aspects of chronic living, in others it is utterly and criminally absent. Either way, it is a present/absent actor that deeply conditions people’s opportunities and strategies of care. This book explores how individuals, groups and communities navigate uncertain and unequal healthcare sy...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda
Carlos Castaneda burst onto the academic and cultural scene in 1968 when he published the first of four books detailing his supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer named Don Juan. While academic critics contend Castaneda invented Don Juan, believers say the fog surrounding his existence express the very ideals that Castaneda attributed to his apprenticeship. Little is known of the Peruvian claiming to be Don Juan's apprentice, but in addition to leading a generation into a mystical otherworld, Carlos Castaneda was also a man. Married to him for thirteen years was Margaret Runyan Castaneda. A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda reads partly like a love story, partly like a tell...
