The Peace Corps in South America
In the 1960s, twenty-thousand young Americans landed in South America to serve as Peace Corps volunteers. The program was hailed by President John F. Kennedy and by volunteers themselves as an exceptional initiative to end global poverty. In practice, it was another front for fighting the Cold War and promoting American interests in the Global South. This book examines how this ideological project played out on the ground as volunteers encountered a range of local actors and agencies engaged in anti-poverty efforts of their own. As they negotiated the complexities of community intervention, these volunteers faced conflicts and frustrations, struggled to adapt, and gradually transformed the Peace Corps of the 1960s into a truly global, decentralized institution. Drawing on letters, diaries, reports, and newsletters created by volunteers themselves, Fernando Purcell shows how their experiences offer an invaluable perspective on local manifestations of the global Cold War.
A Compact History of Latin America's Cold War
While not commonly centered in the Cold War story, Latin America was intensely affected by that historic conflict. In this book, available for the first time in English, Vanni Pettina makes sense of the region's diverse, complex political experiences of the Cold War era.

Connecting Cold War events to the region's political polarizations, revolutionary mobilizations, draconian state repression, and brutal violence in almost every sphere, Pettina demonstrates that Latin America's Cold War was rarely cold. In the midst...

El mundo global. Una historia
A decir verdad, no conozco la opinión calificada de los profesionales en los asuntos de la mente —psicólogos, psicoanalistas o psiquiatras—, pero me incluyo entre aquellos que consideran que, en ocasiones, se presentan momentos en la vida diaria y también en la profesional, en los cuales es conveniente efectuar un alto en el camino. En lo que respecta a la trayectoria profesional, a veces se impone la necesidad de aligerar la ansiedad de avanzar por nuevos senderos; resulta útil detenerse a reflexionar sobre ciertos frutos cultivados; observar —desde nuevos ángulos— el saber acumulado; descifrar los vacíos, y resolver las dudas que fueron quedando en la berma del camino; ocupar...
