Este libro analiza el papel del catolicismo de base en la oposición eclesial a la dictadura franquista. Organizaciones como la Juventud Obrera Cristiana y la Hermandad Obrera de Acción Católica, acompañadas por una parte del clero, desarrollaron una conciencia social y política que dio lugar a un catolicismo crítico con la dictadura. Esto originó fuertes tensiones entre el régimen franquista y la Iglesia, que vio cómo se quebraba su unidad en la fidelidad al franquismo. Además, muchos de estos católicos terminaron engrosando las filas de organizaciones antifranquistas, aportando militantes, líderes y una manera particular de concebir y practicar el compromiso sociopolítico. Entre la fabrica y la sacristía pretende contribuir a la comprensión de este fenómeno desde la escala diocesana.
Long a favorite on dance floors in Latin America, the porro, cumbia, and vallenato styles that make up Colombia's música tropical are now enjoying international success. How did this music—which has its roots in a black, marginal region of the country—manage, from the 1940s onward, to become so popular in a nation that had prided itself on its white heritage? Peter Wade explores the history of música tropical, analyzing its rise in the context of the development of the broadcast media, rapid urbanization, and regional struggles for power. Using archival sources and oral histories, Wade shows how big band renditions of cumbia and porro in the 1940s and 1950s suggested both old traditions and new liberties, especially for women, speaking to a deeply rooted image of black music as sensuous. Recently, nostalgic, "whitened" versions of música tropical have gained popularity as part of government-sponsored multiculturalism. Wade's fresh look at the way music transforms and is transformed by ideologies of race, nation, sexuality, tradition, and modernity is the first book-length study of Colombian popular music.

This book aims to address the importance of natural enemies and functional diversity for biological control in Neotropical agroecosystems. Several aspects related to the conservation of natural enemies, such as vegetation design and climate change, are discussed in Part 1 and the bioecology of several insects groups used in biological control in Latin America is presented in Part 2. Part 3 is devoted to mass production of natural enemies while Part 4 describes how these insects have been used to control of pests in major crops, forests, pasture, weeds and plant diseases. Lastly, Part 5 reports Latin-American experiences of integration of biological in pest management programs.
