The Grand Araucanian Wars (1541–1883) in the Kingdom of Chile
The Mapuches accomplished what the mighty Aztec and Inca empires failed so overwhelming to do- to preserve their independence, and keep the Spanish invaders at bay. The Mapuche infantry played a vital role in the Araucanian war, from the initial of the conquest in 1541 to 1883. The goals of this book: a) To provide an overview of the military aspects weaponry, armory, the horse, and tactic, strategy facing the Mapuches; at the beginning of the Spanish conquest. b) To provide an overview, of the military superiority enjoyed, by the Spanish army, in addition, the role of the Auxiliary Indian. c) To point out how, by military innovations, and adaptation in the face of Araucanian war, the Mapuches managed to resist Spanish military campaigns, for over 300 years.
The Ethics of Anthropology and Amerindian Research
The decision to publish scholarly findings bearing on the question of Amerindian environmental degradation, warfare, and/or violence is one that weighs heavily on anthropologists. This burden stems from the fact that documentation of this may render descendant communities vulnerable to a host of predatory agendas and hostile modern forces. Consequently, some anthropologists and community advocates alike argue that such culturally and socially sensitive, and thereby, politically volatile information regarding Amerindian-induced environmental degradation and warfare should not be reported. This admonition presents a conundrum for anthropologists and other social scientists employed in the acad...
El exilio republicano español en Cuba
¿Qué hubiera sido de España sin la sangría del exilio durante y después de la Guerra Civil? El estudio de la vida y la obra de los desterrados —considerados por los vencedores los «anti-España»— ayuda a imaginarnos una respuesta. En realidad, como ha escrito el historiador Enrique Moradiellos, España tardó mucho en recuperarse de esa «hemorragia humana», esa forzosa ausencia de cerebros y de brazos. La recuperación de la memoria de los exiliados —y de la República en el exilio— es una parte importante de la reciente historiografía española. Pero de entre todos los «exilios» estudiados —el europeo, el mexicano, el del interior— quizás sea el exilio en Cuba el qu...
Mexican Political Biographies, 1935-1993
My Father’s Shoes is, at its core, an anthology of short stories. The book is allegoric and the shoes are metaphoric. Unlike most anthologies, however, these stories are an amalgam of themselves. They integrate and coalesce. There is a rhythm and a cadence both in substance and in form. This book was initially written as a gift to my father. I wanted to share certain memories with him that were meaningful and lasting. I wanted him to know, from my perspective, just how important he was in my life. He never really understood the profound impact that he had on the lives of other people –especially his family. Because of that humility, or perhaps in honor of it, I wanted to him know that he...

Chile 1970-1973
Al ritmo de las luchas colectivas que marcaron el gobierno de Salvador Allende, este libro muestra el desarrollo y radicalización del movimiento obrero, las formas de autoorganización y los repertorios de acción utilizados. Aborda también los debates y estrategias de la izquierda chilena, estudia las relaciones complejas, a veces tensas y contradictorias, que mantienen entonces el movimiento popular, las organizaciones partidarias, los sindicatos y el gobierno. Este enfoque, centrado en la historia de los cordones industriales y las diversas formas de "poderes populares constituyentes" urbanos que surgieron en la periferia de Santiago y en algunas de las grandes ciudades del país, permite renovar nuestra comprensión de este episodio fundamental de la historia del siglo XX. Este libro abre también nuevas pistas de interpretación de los eventos que condujeron -hace ya más de cuarenta años- al fin trágico de la Unidad Popular con el golpe de Estado del 11 de septiembre de 1973.
