Camila Vallejo símbolo de la juventud indignada (Magis 428)
Camila Vallejo, líder del movimiento estudiantil en Chile, es el personaje de portada de esta edición. Se trata de una joven estudiante latinoamericana de la misma edad que muchos de nuestros estudiantes que se ha erigido como un símbolo de la juventud indignada que toma las calles en distintos rincones del mundo. Y esto nos parece un buen mensaje, justo un mes antes de las elecciones presidenciales de México, sobre la apuesta que nuestra revista tiene de cara a la vida pública: política sí, mucha política, pero no desde las cúpulas que se reparten el poder, sino desde los ciudadanos. Y, en este caso en particular, desde los estudiantes. Todo esto guarda relación con el tema de nuestra sección Sensus para este número: la elección. ¿Qué elegimos cuando elegimos? (ITESO)
Balaguer and the Dominican Military
Following the 1961 assassination of dictator Rafael Trujillo, the Dominican Republic descended into a period of national turmoil and political instability, culminating in 1965 when a catastrophic civil war engulfed the capital city of Santo Domingo. The intervention of foreign troops, particularly U.S. troops, played a critical role in the multinational effort to allow presidential elections to take place in June 1966. The result was the installation of Joaquin Balaguer in the presidency. Subsequently, this skillful civilian leader defeated both a right wing coup and a Cuban-based guerrilla expedition, and successfully gained control of the chaotic Dominican officer corps by the mid-1970s. In this comprehensive study of the Dominican Republic's Balaguer era, the author draws upon declassified U.S. State Department and military documents and his own experiences as an army attache in the U.S. Embassy, Santo Domingo, during the early 1970s. The result is a unique, inside look at Balaguer's presidency, his skillful manipulation of rival officers and cliques, and American involvement in the political history of the Dominican Republic.
