AVENIDA COLONIAL es una travesía que revela la fragilidad y la dureza a partes iguales, un camino sin fin en las entrañas de una ciudad indolente para sus hijos menos afortunados.

Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's ...
