Retribution
A story that spans over seventy years in the life of the Martinez family, from their life in Chile before the 1973 military coup to the horror that ensued; their flight to Canada as political refugees, and back to Chile again as Sol joins the underground resistance movement and looks for the remains of her disappeared husband.
De las políticas educativas a las prácticas escolares
Este libro es una herramienta necesaria para analizar lo que está pasando en los últimos años con las políticas educativas y su repercusión en las prácticas escolares. Y se hace desde voces diversas, comprometidas con el cambio de las políticas conservadoras y muy autorizadas en la teoría y en la práctica educativa. Es palpable en el campo de la enseñanza que cuando gobiernan las políticas conservadoras y ultraconservadoras todos los actores del Sistema Educativo salen perjudicados excepto aquellos que consideran la educación como un gran negocio o con determinadas ideologías regresivas. Recordemos que se está haciendo con la innovación, la formación del profesorado, el trato...
Género y cultura escolar
Hombres y mujeres han comenzado a concurrir en posiciones comunes en la sociedad gracias al apoyo y el empuje de quienes creemos en la igualdad, mientras que el viejo conservadurismo y la aparición de nuevos determinismos naturales y culturales se resisten a los progresos alcanzados en la vida de las mujeres en las últimas décadas condenándolas a la exclusión, en todo el mundo. Es necesario desvelar las razones que siguen apartando a las mujeres del saber y del poder que aquel proporciona en la sociedad del conocimiento. Ellas están obteniendo mejores resultados educativos que sus compañeros, sin embargo parece que en la actualidad están estancándose en los ámbitos de la producció...
Colonizing Ourselves
In the late nineteenth century, the Mexican government, seeking to fortify its northern borders and curb migration to the United States, set out to relocate “Mexico-Texano” families, or Tejanos, on Mexican land. In Colonizing Ourselves, José Angel Hernández explores these movements back to Mexico, also known as autocolonization, as distinct in the history of settler colonization. Unlike other settler colonial states that relied heavily on overseas settlers, especially from Europe and Asia, Mexico received less than 1 percent of these nineteenth-century immigrants. This reality, coupled with the growing migration of farmers and laborers northward toward the United States, led ultimate...
Identities, Experience, and Change in Early Mexican Villages
New perspectives on an important era in Mesoamerican history This volume examines shifting social identities, lived experiences, and networks of interaction in Mexico during the Mesoamerican Formative period (2000 BCE–250 CE), an era that helped produce some of the world’s most renowned complex civilizations. The chapters offer significant data, innovative methodologies, and novel perspectives on Mexican archaeology. Using diverse and non-traditional theoretical approaches, contributors discuss interregional relationships and the exchange of ideas in contexts ranging from the Gulf Coast Olmec region to the site of Tlatilco in Central Mexico to the often-overlooked cultures of the far wes...
Educar a la Ciudadanía
Educar a la ciudadanía constituye un proyecto político de las sociedades democráticas que deben de tratar de compaginar los principios éticos de una educación en igualdad, para todos los ciudadanos y ciudadanas, con las posibilidades contingentes a la educación en cada sociedad. La igualdad, como aspiración ética de la racionalidad humana, exige en democracia acoplarse a un tiempo histórico-social y aterrizar en el campo de las posibilidades y de la realidad.En este contexto, la escuela no puede seguir mostrándose neutral ante las diferencias que pondrían en cuestión una educación democrática. Por ello, Carmen Rodríguez Martínez cuestiona a lo largo del texto cuáles son los principios básicos para una educación democrática; cómo se articula la igualdad entre culturas, clases sociales y géneros; cuál es el umbral mínimo de una educación para la igualdad, y quién tiene legitimidad para decidir en educación.

The Mystery of the Olmecs
Lost Cities author Childress takes us deep into Mexico and Central America in search of the mysterious Olmecs, North America’s early, advanced civilization.

Man-Made UFOs
While the government wants you to think that aliens are buzzing military bases, this book presents the overwhelming evidence that most "nuts and bolts" UFOs are made on earth and piloted by earthlings.

Settlement Ecology of the Ancient Americas
In this exciting new volume several leading researchers use settlement ecology, an emerging approach to the study of archaeological settlements, to examine the spatial arrangement of prehistoric settlement patterns across the Americas. Positioned at the intersection of geography, human ecology, anthropology, economics and archaeology, this diverse collection showcases successful applications of the settlement ecology approach in archaeological studies and also discusses associated techniques such as GIS, remote sensing and statistical and modeling applications. Using these methodological advancements the contributors investigate the specific social, cultural and environmental factors which mediated the placement and arrangement of different sites. Of particular relevance to scholars of landscape and settlement archaeology, Settlement Ecology of the Ancient Americas provides fresh insights not only into past societies, but also present and future populations in a rapidly changing world.
