Jaume Balmes. Quin llegat, avui?
Descripción / Resumen (Catalán): Quan un entra al Saló Sant Jordi del Palau de la Generalitat, si alça el cap, és molt probable que la primera figura que vegi pintada al sostre sigui la de Balmes. També hi són les de Torras i Bages (enfrontada a la de Balmes), Llorens i Barba, Menéndez Pelayo, etcètera. Però la de Balmes destaca pel lloc que ocupa. Com és ben sabut, els murals actuals van ser pintats en temps de la dictadura de Primo de Rivera per tal de substituir els frescos noucentistes de Torres García, poc reeixit a l’hora de mostrar la naturalesa essencialment espanyola de l’esperit català i de les contribucions que aquest havia fet a la Nación. Doncs bé, avui, quan ...

"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world....

Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

Envidia. Historia de los afectos
La obra compila reflexiones sobre la envidia entre mujeres, entre padres e hijos, entre colegas y amigos, entre jóvenes y viejos, pobres y ricos, hombres y mujeres, entre actrices, modelos, amantes y entre perfectos desconocidos. Esto confirma el amplio espectro de una pasión triste que es capaz de atravesar todo tipo de registros de la condición humana, transformándose en poderosos afectos como el resentimiento, la codicia, el rencor, el odio, la tristeza y la alegría malsana, lo cual es analizado por los autores de estos ensayos de cine y filosofía a través de la mirada cinematográfica de grandes y reconocidos cineastas como Buñuel o Hitchcock, de innovadores realizadores como G. Alazraki, Michel Franco y Claude Berri, sin olvidar a D. Fincher, M. Forman, Robert Aldrich o a Juan Ibáñez.
Abandoning Their Beloved Land
Abandoning Their Beloved Land offers an essential new history of the Bracero Program, a bilateral initiative that allowed Mexican men to work in the United States as seasonal contract farmworkers from 1942 to 1964. Using national and local archives in Mexico, historian Alberto García uncovers previously unexamined political factors that shaped the direction of the program, including how officials administered the bracero selection process and what motivated campesinos from central states to migrate. Notably, García's book reveals how and why the Mexican government's delegation of Bracero Program–related responsibilities, the powerful influence of conservative Catholic opposition groups in central Mexico, and the failures of the revolution's agrarian reform all profoundly influenced the program's administration and individuals' decisions to migrate as braceros.
