Carmelite history and prayer begin with Elijah on Mount Carmel. From Elijah has descended a long line of saints who have heard the voice of the Lord calling them to leave everything and come "drink from the stream". This book is an invitation for you to come and pray with the holy men and women of the Carmelite order. The prayers and meditations in this book will help the reader listen to and pray with the saints of Carmel throughout the ages, from Elijah through the twentieth century. In these prayers are stories of particular times, places, longings, sometimes suffering, at other times ecstatic joy. These prayers allow one to enter into the most intimate depths of the souls of Carmelite sa...
El libro nace en el contexto del movido diálogo entre la mariología y el feminismo que se ha dado en las últimas décadas. Esta conversación, marcada por la irrupción de las mujeres en teología y los aportes críticos y enriquecedores del feminismo, ha dado lugar a una marialogía con énfasis feminista y a diversas formulaciones en voces de mujeres. En América Latina y el Caribe, la reflexión ha avanzado desde una teología de María en perspectiva de la/s mujer/es hacia diferentes lecturas feministas. Conforme al camino teológico posconciliar, también ha evolucionado desde una comprensión de María que enfatiza la relación con los pobres hacia una profundización de su nexo con las mujeres. Estas nuevas tendencias se entrecruzan con otras que bucean en la riqueza devocional y cultural, denominacional y religiosa de la experiencia mariana.
Equal Time: Television and the Civil Rights Movement explores the crucial role of network television in reconfiguring new attitudes in race relations during the civil rights movement. Due to widespread coverage, the civil rights revolution quickly became the United States' first televised major domestic news story. This important medium unmistakably influenced the ongoing movement for African American empowerment, desegregation, and equality. Aniko Bodroghkozy brings to the foreground network news treatment of now-famous civil rights events including the 1965 Selma voting rights campaign, integration riots at the University of Mississippi, and the March on Washington, including Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. She also examines the most high-profile and controversial television series of the era to feature African American actors--East Side/West Side, Julia, and Good Times--to reveal how entertainment programmers sought to represent a rapidly shifting consensus on what "blackness" and "whiteness" meant and how they now fit together.

"An original study of monuments to the civil rights movement and African American history that have been erected in the U.S. South over the past three decades, this powerful work explores how commemorative structures have been used to assert the presence of black Americans in contemporary Southern society. The author cogently argues that these public memorials, ranging from the famous to the obscure, have emerged from, and speak directly to, the region's complex racial politics since monument builders have had to contend with widely varied interpretations of the African American past as well as a continuing presence of white supremacist attitudes and monuments."--Book jacket.

Four hundred years since its publication, Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote continues to inspire and to challenge its readers. The universal and timeless appeal of the novel, however, has distanced its hero from its author and its author from his own life and the time in which he lived. The discussion of the novel’s Catholic identity, therefore, is based on a reading that returns Cervantes’s hero to Cervantes’s text and Cervantes to the events that most shaped his life. The authors and texts McGrath cites, as well as his arguments and interpretations, are mediated by his religious sensibility. Consequently, he proposes that his study represents one way of interpreting Don Quixote and...
Este libro es fruto tanto de los trabajos e investigaciones que se expusieron en el Tercer Encuentro de la Red Europea de Institutos de Familia como de aportaciones de investigadores de nuestra Universidad. El libro se divide en cuatro apartados. Una primera área de la perspectiva histórica, sociológica y de intervención. En segundo lugar se ofrecen dos trabajos de contenido jurídico en los que se abordan dos cuestiones: la normativa sobre internamiento de mayores y la importancia de los abuelos en los procesos de divorcio en Francia. En tercer lugar, se estudia la perspectiva psicológica. Y en cuarto y último, se aborda la temática desde sus claves éticas.
