"Para nosotros, Fátima es una señal de la presencia de la fe, del hecho que precisamente es de los pequeños que ésta adquiere nuevas fuerzas, tales que no solamente están sujetas a los pequeños sino que contiene un mensaje para el mundo entero y toca la historia aquí y ahora, y brinda luz a esta historia." - Papa Benedicto XVI A pesar que las apariciones de Nuestra Señora de Fátima tuvieron lugar hace casi cien años, el llamado de la Virgen a la oración y la penitencia por la salvación de las almas y la paz del mundo es tan relevante hoy como cuando fue revelado a los tres niños campesinos portugueses en 1917. En la cúspide de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Nuestra Señora advirti...

An exemplary story of solidarity in action, Cultivating a Revolutionary Spirit conveys the exhilarating experience of being part of paradigm-changing revolutions. Bill Lankford visited Nicaragua in 1984 to see the Sandinista revolution for himself. What he found led this physics professor to volunteer his skills teaching at the Central American University in Managua. There, he and his students developed a solar cooking project which took on a life of its own, spreading throughout the five countries of Central America. In Cultivating a Revolutionary Spirit, Bill describes how local women used the tools of carpentry to build solar ovens and how they used the tools of feminism to take more control over their own lives and their communities. Bill leveraged his personal resources as a white North American man—professionally educated, fluent in English, with access to money and connections—to facilitate the work of Central American women who started by building ovens and went on to create an array of projects to meet basic needs, improve health, and increase access to educational and leadership opportunities for women.
Un día 13 de mayo de 1917 la Santísima Virgen María se aparece por primera vez a tres pequeños pastorcitos: Lucía, Francisco y Jacinta. En la remota Cova de Iria, en Portugal, y lejos del estruendo de la Primera Guerra Mundial que, por entonces, remecía a Europa, La Señora irrumpe una vez más en la historia. Su mensaje contenía una severa advertencia: ¡dejad de ofender a Dios! Pedía, además, la consagración de Rusia a su Inmaculado Corazón, el establecimiento de su devoción a nivel mundial, el rezo del Santo Rosario y la comunión reparadora de los primeros sábados de cada mes. ¿Cuál fue la reacción de la humanidad y de la jerarquía eclesiástica frente al anuncio y a los...
Salomania and the Representation of Race and Gender in Modern Erotic Dance situates the 1908 dance craze, which The New York Times called “Salomania,” as a crucial event and a turning point in the history of the modern business of erotic dance. Framing Salomania with reference to imperial ideologies of motherhood and race, it works toward better understanding the increasing value of the display of the undressed female body in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This study turns critical attention to cultures of maternity in the late 19th century, primarily with reference to the ways in which women are defined in relation to their genitals as patriarchal property and space and are valued a...
Das Jahr 1917. In Europa tobt der Große Krieg und in Portugal der Kampf zwischen der atheistischen Ersten Republik und der katholischen Kirche. Da berichten im Mai drei Hirtenkinder aus der portugiesischen Einöde, ihnen sei eine weiß gekleidete Frau erschienen. Für viele besteht schon bald kein Zweifel mehr: es muss sich um die Gottesmutter handeln! Katholische Würdenträger wittern ihre Chance und die Geschichte des Landes gerät an einen Wendepunkt. Doch was genau ist damals geschehen in Fátima? Wer waren die treibenden Kräfte, was ihre Motive und Ziele? Und was genau hat sich hinter den Kulissen abgespielt, um aus einer öden Heide einen der größten Wallfahrtsorte der Welt zu machen? Das Buch beleuchtet anhand zentraler Dokumente die Ereignisse des Jahres 1917, die anschließende Errichtung des Heiligtums von Fátima und die Instrumentalisierung des Glaubens zur Erringung von Macht.
"The tragedies foretold in Fatima did not come to an end with the demise of Communism. The crisis has not been resolved. From a certain point of view it is still as serious as it ever was, as it is primarily a crisis of faith, hence a moral and social crisis." — Pope Benedict XVI The apparitions in 1917 of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three peasant children in Fatima, Portugal, are perhaps the most important private revelations in the history of the Church. At the height of World War I and on the eve of the Russian Revolution, Our Lady appeared in Fatima to warn us of another even greater world war, the spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church unless people returned to G...
