Posibilidad, Crítica y Reflexión
El pasado 24 y 25 de noviembre la Biblioteca Vasconcelos, en la Ciudad de México, cobijó el 1er. Coloquio de Mujeres Filósofas. Fuimos testigos del potencial de las mujeres organizadas, ávidas por ser escuchadas y compartir sus saberes y conocimientos. Conformaron vínculos entre ellas para realizar nuevos proyectos juntas, para arder como volcanes e instaurar un nuevo mundo en el que sus voces jamás volverán a ser relegadas a lo privado, ni silenciadas por las lógicas patriarcales que deciden quiénes son dignos de mantenerse presentes a lo largo de la Historia y a quiénes es mejor olvidar poco a poco. Es necesario agradecer y reconocer el espléndido trabajo de Itzel Cabrera y Alejandra Quiroz por pertenecer al comité organizador, por escucharme, creer y comprometerse con este proyecto. Su colaboración permitió que este evento resplandeciera junto con todas las ponentes y asistentes. Todas fuimos piezas clave.
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
A Fighting Chance
Seventeen-year-old Miguel Angel spends every minute after school at the Packing Shed, working out with the Alisal Boxing Club.

The city is threatening to take the Packing Shed away from Coach, and without a place to train he won’t be able to avoid the gangbangers in his neighborhood.

Found, Not Lost
This book has been an opportunity for Erwitt to revisit the photographs he made in his early career and to uncover meaning upon second glance which was not apparent when the image was originally taken. The master of visual one-liners--bold statement images replete with humour, irony and acknowledged absurdity--the photographs selected for this book are quieter, more subtle and suggest Erwitt's increasing confidence in his own eye. By selecting these photographs he has begun to both examine and challenge how his younger self saw the world.
