Untold Stories of the Spanish Civil War
This is the first scholarly volume to offer an insight into the less known stories of women, children, and international volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Special attention is given to volunteers of different historical experiences, especially Jews, and voices from less researched countries in the context of the Spanish war, such as Palestine and Turkey. Of an interdisciplinary nature, this volume brings together historians and literary scholars from different countries. Their research is based on newly found primary sources in both national and private archives, as well as on post-essentialist methodological insights for women’s history, Jewish history, and studies on belonging.

Itinerant Ideas
This book explores how ideas about race travelled across national borders in early twentieth-century Latin America. It builds on a vast array of scholarly works which underscore the highly contingent and flexible nature of race and racism in the region. The framework of the nation-state dominates much of this scholarship, in part because of the important implications of ideas about race for state policies. This book argues that we need to investigate the cross-border elaboration of ideas that informed and fed into these policies. It is organized around three key policy areas – labour, cultural heritage, and education – and focuses on conversations between Chilean and Peruvian intellectuals about the ‘indigenous question’. Most historical scholarship on Chile and Peru draws attention to the wars fought in the nineteenth century and their long-term consequences, which reverberate to this day. Relations between the two countries are therefore interpreted almost exclusively as antagonistic and hostile. Itinerant Ideas challenges this dominant historical narrative.

Cartas sobre la mesa
Esta obra se asoma a un singular objeto no suficientemente abordado, a juicio de su autora: los epistolarios de los editores. Como actores que intervienen directamente no solo en el proceso de configuración de un texto sino también en la divulgación de ideas y conocimientos, a lo largo de su vida profesional deben construir redes comerciales y culturales que hagan posible su tarea; las cartas que escriben resultan documentos de gran valor para el análisis de las relaciones que construyen entre ellos y los autores cuyas obras publican. En este caso particular, el conjunto de cartas recorridas y analizadas pertenece principalmente a Samuel Glusberg, en especial durante su etapa de trabajo ...
