And a Body to Remember with
In these stories, Carmen Rodriguez explores place, language, and the intricacies of human experience, based on her life as a political exile in Canada, having escaped from Chile after the military coup of 1973. As a storyteller, Rodriguez maps the emotional terrain of dual geographies. Caught between them, her protagonists seek redemption in the simple truths of love and dignity, whether amid the political turmoil of Chile or the torment of estrangement in Canada.
Atacama
Firmly rooted in historical events, Atacama tells the story of Manuel Garay, the son of a communist miner/union leader and an anarchist organizer of working-class women, and Lucía Céspedes, the daughter of a fascist army officer and a socialite. A fateful turn of events leads to twelve-year-old Lucía befriending twelve-year-old Manuel, inextricably connecting them to a common denominator: Lucía’s adoring father and the perpetrator of the heinous crimes that have caused both children immeasurable suffering. Manuel and Lucía forge a friendship that grows as they come of age and realize that their lives are not only linked by Ernesto Céspedes’ actions, but also by a deep understanding of the other’s emotional predicaments, their commitment to social justice and their belief in the power of writing and art. Set in the first half of the twentieth century, but resonating loudly with today’s changing times, beautifully crafted Atacama covers themes related to class, gender, trauma, survival and the role of art in society.

Carmen's voice is both refreshing and insightful in its spiritual connectedness, as well as in its active feminist struggle against isolation and exile. As a writer, she steadfastly keeps community with immigrant women of colour and their marvellous strengths."- Sky Lee

Turkey's Democratization Process
Since the end of the 1980 coup d’état Turkey has been in the midst of a complex process of democratization. Applying methodological pluralism in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of this process in a Turkish context, this book brings together contributions from prominent, Turkish, English, French, and Spanish scholars. Turkey’s Democratization Process utilises the theoretical framework of J.J. Linz and A.C. Stepan in order to assess the complex process of democratization in Turkey. This framework takes into account five interacting features of Turkey’s polity when making this assessment, namely: whether the underlying legal and socioeconomic conditions are conducive for the de...
Social Patterns in Pre-classic Mesoamerica
