Beyond the Global Crisis
The book aims at offering a comparative, multi-perspective analysis of the different, at times parallel, at times with varying degrees of interdependence, macroeconomic and structural adjustments in the two continents against the backdrop of important processes of regional integration. Its reading offers a multifaceted appreciation of the reality emerging from the mixing up of longer run tendencies deepened by the brute force of the financial and then industrial crisis.
Strange Enemies
In 1956, in the Brazilian state of Rondônia, a group of Wari’ Indians had their first peaceful contact with whites: Protestant missionaries and officers from the national Indian Protection Service. On returning to their villages, the Wari’ announced, “We touched their bodies!” Meanwhile the whites reported to their own people that “the region’s most warlike tribe has entered the pacification phase!” Initially published in Brazil, Strange Enemies is an ethnographic narrative of the first encounters between these peoples with radically different worldviews. During the 1940s and 1950s, white rubber tappers invading the Wari’ lands raided the native villages, shooting and killin...
The Pontificate
An eBook offering a portrait of the Franciscan pontificate. This eBook from La Civilta Cattolica consists of 14 narrative essays, summarizing the key features of Francis’ papacy. In this volume we gather some articles that have appeared in the English edition of La Civiltà Cattolica. They offer a portrait of the pontificate. Obviously, these pages are not exhaustive – nor do they intend to be so – but they certainly do touch on some of the key points for understanding the figure and work of Jorge Mario Bergoglio. The first two chapters go to the roots of his formation. Ten years after the event, the first chapter takes us back to the Fifth General Conference of the Episcopate of Latin...

Pope Francis as a Global Actor
Pope Francis confuses many observers because his papacy does not fit neatly into any pre-established classificatory schemes. To gain a deeper appreciation of Francis’s complicated papacy, this volume proposes that an interdisciplinary approach, fusing concepts derived from moral theology and the social sciences, may properly situate Pope Francis as a global political entrepreneur. The chapters in this volume ask what difference it makes that he is the first pope from Latin America, how and why different countries in the world respond to him, how his understanding of scripture informs his ideas on economic, social, and environmental policy, and where politics meets theology under Francis. In the end, this volume seeks to provide a more robust understanding of the enigmatic papacy of Francis.
Who lost an Elephant?
Everyone in the city didn't know what to do when an elephant showed up. They called the firemen, the police, the veterinarians, and the reporters. Would he be an angry elephant? Happy? Male? Female? But soon, the initial surprise passed, and they all realized they had a very special elephant. The elephant was calm and friendly, and everyone started to wonder how he had arrived in the city.
What We Have Seen and Heard
One of the chief challenges of the Second Vatican Council was to reclaim the meaning of baptism, especially as the foundation of service and mission in the world. Fifty years after the close of that watershed gathering, nineteen distinguished religious leaders and scholars reexamine that challenge and its implications for preaching and ministry today. This book reinvigorates an important conversation.
Vida de Pedro Saputo
La Vida de Pedro Saputo (1844), de Braulio Foz, viene siendo objeto de valoraciones cada día más entusiastas que enfatizan su entidad de obra representativa de las letras aragonesas y su posición privilegiada en la historia de la novela española del siglo XIX. La óptica con que capta la sociedad rural aragonesa supera en muchas ocasiones los estereotipos costumbristas y se adelanta al realismo urbano de Galdós. Las cronopiescas aventuras de su héroe en tierras oscenses configuran una cosmovisión narrativa mítica y desrealizada que aúna lo extraño romántico con el realismo mágico de algunas grandes novelas contemporáneas.
