A Country of Shepherds
This book draws on the life stories told by shepherds, farmers, and their families in the Andalusian region in Spain to sketch out the landscapes, actions, and challenges of people who work in pastoralism. Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with regional and European communities and policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and sustainability. A Country of Shepherds is timely, reflecting the growing interest in ecological farming methods as well as the Spanish government’s recent work with UNESCO to recognise the seasonal movement of herd animals in the Iberian Peninsula as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Demonstrating the critical role of tradition, cultural geographies, and sustainability in the Mediterranean, this book will appeal to academicians but also to general readers who seek to understand, in very human terms, the impact of the world-wide environmental crisis we are now experiencing.
Manual of Galician Linguistics
The Manual of Galician Linguistics provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the current situation of the Galician language and introduces its readers to the most important topics of current linguistic research on Galician. Thevolume includes chapters covering diachronic and synchronic descriptions of all main areas of language structure (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicology), as well chapters on social and regional variation, language contact, sociolinguistics, language variation and other interesting areas of linguistic research. Rich in descriptive details and grounded in modern linguistic theory, this manual will be an essential research tool for students and researchers who are interested in the Galician language and in Romance linguistics. The preparation of this work has been partially funded through grants from the Ministerio de Cultura of the Government of Spain to the Instituto da Lingua Galega, and from the Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Universidade of the Xunta de Galicia to the research group Filoloxía e Lingüística Galega of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (ED431C 2021/20).
Entre el bronce y el olvido
Concibiendo al héroe como el eje central de la imaginación moderna, Entre el bronce y el olvido. Heroísmo y afrodescendencia en Colombia, Brasil y Cuba examina textos producidos por soldados, estadistas, poetas, narradores y periodistas de ascendencia africana que intervinieron en la imaginación heroica latinoamericana. Este estudio explora cómo la utilización estratégica de un lenguaje heroico significó para estos hombres y mujeres la posibilidad de exhibirse como cuerpos modélicos y de ponerse al frente de un contingente humano que los seguía y, en algunos casos, veneraba. Además de proponer una conceptualización de la imaginación heroica como espacio de conflicto y de reivindicación política, explora los textos de Antonio Maceo, Juan José Nieto y Maria Firmina dos Reis, entre otros, poniéndolos en diálogo con manifestaciones de la cultura visual y monumental para enfatizar la multiplicidad de imágenes que se superponen a modo de palimpsesto inacabado en torno a figuras de heroicidad racializadas.

Salvaje
Salvaje es la biografía del incombustible y polémico Jesús Gil y Gil, el que fuera presidente del Atlético de Madrid y alcalde de Marbella. Su gestión en ambos ámbitos no estuvo exenta de polémica, y fue procesado en diversas ocasiones. Sus opiniones acerca de casi todo son ya parte de la cultura popular española, y son célebres sus irreconciliables disputas con los entrenadores del Atleti, a los que reemplazaba con una facilidad pasmosa. Arquitecto del pelotazo marbellí y del populismo en las filas de su partido, el G.I.L., encarcelado y luego indultado por la tragedia de Los Ángeles de San Rafael, en la que murieron cincuenta y ocho personas, fue un personaje venerado y odiado a partes iguales. Esta es su historia...
