LAS BIBLIOTECAS VICTORIANAS EN LAS CUENCAS MINERAS DEL SUROESTE PENINSULAR
Este trabajo propone revelar el desarrollo de dos bibliotecas victorianas, la "Biblioteca de Recreo" en el English Club of Rio Tinto en Minas de Riotinto (Huelva, España) y la biblioteca en el "Clube do Pessoal da Empresa Mason and Barry Ltd." en Mina de Santo Domingos (Mértola, Portugal). Estas se ubicaron en dos enclaves británicos mineros fuera de las fronteras de su Imperio, en la conocida Faja Pirítica Ibérica en el periodo en el que los británicos se establecieron en Minas de Santo Domingos (1858-1966) en el Alentejo portugués y Minas de Riotinto (1873-1954) en Huelva.

Women, Culture, and Politics in Latin America
“This collection, because of its exceptional theoretical coherence and sophistication, is qualitatively superior to the most frequently consulted anthologies on Latin American women’s history and literature . . . [and] represents a new, more theoretically rigorous stage in the feminist debate on Latin American women.”—Elizabeth Garrels, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Words of Crisis, Crisis of Words
This volume offers a collection of papers dealing with how adversities have been tackled and expressed artistically from various perspectives in Ireland. Taken together, the many approaches to critical times provided here prove how, surrounded by outbursts of pessimism, financial hecatombs, and individual and collective discouragement, the academic community can find meaning in hard, intellectual work, and in serious updated research. The chapters here are authored by scholars specialised in Irish Studies, and provide reflections and discussions on the broad topic of crisis and Ireland, its description and representation, and the different ways in which difficulties have been discussed, imagined, or even solved.
Mexicanos, Second Edition
Newly revised and updated, Mexicanos tells the rich and vibrant story of Mexicans in the United States. Emerging from the ruins of Aztec civilization and from centuries of Spanish contact with indigenous people, Mexican culture followed the Spanish colonial frontier northward and put its distinctive mark on what became the southwestern United States. Shaped by their Indian and Spanish ancestors, deeply influenced by Catholicism, and tempered by an often difficult existence, Mexicans continue to play an important role in U.S. society, even as the dominant Anglo culture strives to assimilate them. Thorough and balanced, Mexicanos makes a valuable contribution to the understanding of the Mexican population of the United States—a growing minority who are a vital presence in 21st-century America.

NEW HEROES ON SCREEN
This book analyses the representation of new models of masculinity in US recent science fiction cinema. By examining the figure of the new hero, a male protagonist with visible unconventional features, it explores new ways of gender representation on screen. Lynchs Dune (1984) and the Wachowsky brothers The Matrix (1999) share many traits concerning gender representation and offer the type of the androgynous hero who stands for innovative prototypes of masculinity. As a result of these films analysis, the book uncovers the tangible controversy in current US society about gender tolerance.
