Voces de la educación social
Es el fruto de un trabajo propuesto a treinta y cinco profesionales vinculados a la educación social, la mayoría educadores sociales en activo, con el doble propósito de, por un lado, promover un ejercicio de análisis y reflexión alrededor de conceptos, ideas y palabras vinculadas al campo social y educativo y, por otro, iniciar una serie de encuentros mediante la palabra y la voz que ayuden a incrementar el patrimonio de un campo en construcción.

Conflict, Heritage and World-Making in the Chaco
Conflict, Heritage and World-Making in the Chaco documents and interprets the physical remains and afterlives of the Chaco War (1932–35) – known as South America’s first ‘modern’ armed conflict – in what is now present-day Paraguay. It focuses not only on archaeological remains as conventionally understood, but takes an ontological approach to heterogeneous assemblages of objects, texts, practices and landscapes shaped by industrial war and people’s past and present engagements with them. These assemblages could be understood to constitute a ‘dark heritage’, the debris of a failed modernity. Yet it is clear that they are not simply dead memorials to this bloody war, but have been, and continue to be active in making, unmaking and remaking worlds – both for the participants and spectators of the war itself, as well as those who continue to occupy and live amongst the vast accretions of war matériel which persist in the present.
El Caribe hispanoparlante en las obras de sus historiadores
Tři desítky autorů z Argentiny, Francie, Kolumbie, Kuby, Maďarska, Mexika, Španělska a České republiky představují významné historiky, kteří se zabývali dějinami Karibské oblasti, jejich pracovní metody a hlavní oblasti výzkumu (srov. např. texty José Antonia Piquerase o H. E. Friedlaenderovi nebo Paula Estrade o pařížském pobytu mladého Julia LeRiverenda), popřípadě analyzují historickou produkci věnovanou dějinám regionu jednotlivými národními historiografiemi (studie Adáma Anderle o kubánských studiích v Maďarsku). Odborníci na literatury zemí karibské oblasti se zabývají podobou historických událostí v dílech takových autorů, jako byl např. Alejandro Carpentier, či obrazem reality regionu v textech místních publicistů, spisovatelů a básníků.
The Inter-American System of Human Rights
This book, which can be used as a text for teaching purposes, gives a fascinating, and authoritative treatment both the rights protected by the Inter-American system and of the way in which its institutions work. An important part of the book is a thorough, article by article account of the guarantee in the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man and in the American Convention on Human Rights of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights in the light of the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and of the Commission's many country reports on the human rights situation in particular states. There are also chapters on the rights of indigenous peoples, amnesty laws and states of emergencies. The evolution and current methods of work of the Commission and the Court are set out at length and their achievements are critically assessed. The role of non-governmental organisations is also examined in this context. The book will be invaluable to all those interested in the protection of human rights in the Americas and international human rights law generally.
Mexico's Disappeared
"This 176-page report documents nearly 250 "disappearances" during the administration of former President Felipe Calderón, from December 2006 to December 2012. In 149 of those cases, Human Rights Watch found compelling evidence of enforced disappearances, involving the participation of state agents."--Publisher's website.
