Historias de Málaga
Historias de Málaga. Barrios Trinidad y Perchel narra las vivencias en primera persona del autor desde su infancia en uno de los barrios más emblemáticos de la ciudad de Málaga hasta el momento presente. El libro cuenta con el testimonio de los vecinos que convivieron en estas peculiares edificaciones conocidas popularmente como corralones y que tenían un patio central interior y un pozo o una fuente donde varias familias compartían su día a día en estrecha comunidad.

On Becoming Cuban
With this masterful work, Louis A. Perez Jr. transforms the way we view Cuba and its relationship with the United States. On Becoming Cuban is a sweeping cultural history of the sustained encounter between the peoples of the two countries and of the ways that this encounter helped shape Cubans' identity, nationality, and sense of modernity from the early 1850s until the revolution of 1959. Using an enormous range of Cuban and U.S. sources--from archival records and oral interviews to popular magazines, novels, and motion pictures--Perez reveals a powerful web of everyday, bilateral connections between the United States and Cuba and shows how U.S. cultural forms had a critical influence on the development of Cubans' sense of themselves as a people and as a nation. He also articulates the cultural context for the revolution that erupted in Cuba in 1959. In the middle of the twentieth century, Perez argues, when economic hard times and political crises combined to make Cubans painfully aware that their American-influenced expectations of prosperity and modernity would not be realized, the stage was set for revolution.

The insidious power of gold and money is the subject of this enlightening and entertaining history. The age of exploration brought an influx of treasure into Western Europe, prompting disputes between theologians and early econ...
