Rafael Carrera and the Emergence of the Republic of Guatemala, 1821–1871
Rafael Carrera (1814-1865) ruled Guatemala from about 1839 until his death. Among Central America’s many political strongmen, he is unrivaled in the length of his domination and the depth of his popularity.

Del Chumbeque a la Zofri
El Iquique de hoy también nos pertenece, reapropiarnos de él es la tarea. Llenar el mall con nuestros olores y formas de caminar, con nuestra jerga –que siempre fue mestiza: guachimanes, chalequinas, paltós y lonches- e iquiqueñizar las nuevas palabras. El desafío en entender algo de Perogrullo: la identidad no se pierde se transforma. El iquiqueño del próximo siglo arrastrará la historia que nos dio identidad, pero también construirá con ella la nueva fisonomía, la del siglo que nos golpea fuertemente la puerta.
