Lo que nunca te han contado del Día D
Descubre los secretos del Desembarco de Normandía. El Desembarco de Normandía es uno de los acontecimientos más conocidos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero, setenta y cinco años después, son muchas las incógnitas que existen sobre el Día D. En este fascinante libro, Pere Cardona y Manuel P. Villatoro, especialistas y divulgadores históricos, nos desvelan todos los secretos de las misiones suicidas que tuvieron que acometer los Aliados para iniciar la liberación de la Europa occidental y recuperan las historias de algunos de los protagonistas más curiosos que participaron en esta jornada, entre los que se encuentran Alberto Winterhalder, un soldado alemán de origen español; un grupo de rangers estadounidenses que encontró un gran tesoro en una batería alemana, o una espía que estuvo a punto de traicionar a los Aliados por despecho. Con una narración fresca y un ritmo trepidante, Lo que nunca te han contado del Día D trasladará al lector a los lugares más determinantes y olvidados del campo de batalla y desvelará la verdad que existe tras películas y series tan célebres como Salvar al soldado Ryan o Hermanos de sangre.

The Nation on Screen
“But we can still rise now”, runs a line of Scotland’s unofficial national anthem Flower of Scotland, “and be the nation again” who defeated the English King Edward II in 1314 at the Battle of Bannockburn. These short lines tell us much about the concept of the nation. Firstly, the pronoun of the nation is “we”. Secondly, nationhood remains aspirational for some, while it is entirely taken-for-granted for others. Thirdly, nations often trace their origins back to an implausibly dim and distant past. Finally, it points to the fundamentally discursive nature of the nation: the nation appears not as something which simply is, but as something which can be, called into existence th...
Rwanda Since 1994
Over the past 25 years, Rwanda has undergone remarkable shifts and transitions: culturally, economically, and educationally the country has gone from strength to strength.

Not My Time to Die
Yolande Mukagasana is a Rwandan nurse and mother of three children who likes wearing jeans and designer glasses. She runs her own clinic in Nyamirambo and is planning a party for her wedding anniversary. But when genocide starts everything changes. Targeted because she’s a successful woman and a Tutsi, she flees for her life. This gripping memoir describes the betrayal of friends and help that comes from surprising places. Quick-witted and courageous, Yolande never loses hope she will find her children alive. "This book was one of the first literary testimonies that I read in French about Rwanda. I found it profoundly moving — both realistic and introspective. Thanks to this beautiful translation, it is at long last available to the English-speaking public." Véronique Tadjo "Reading Yolande Mukagasana’s book in French at the age of fifteen changed my life. I realized that genocide is not a mass crime but a single murder repeated hundreds of thousands of times. With this testimony the genocide is no longer just a historical event, it is instead the story of a woman, a mother, a Tutsi. And this is what makes Yolande’s account universal." Gaël Faye
On the Run
The true story of Joséphine Niyikiza and Désiré Nsanzineza is a tale of flight, exile and integration beginning with the outbreak of civil war in Rwanda. What follows is an Odyssey through central Africa, in which time they start a family. Separated in a raid on their home, they lose touch for years until they are at last reunited in Switzerland, where they face many challenges before integration is successful.
The Palgrave Handbook of Women’s Political Rights
This Palgrave Handbook provides a definitive account of women’s political rights across all major regions of the world, focusing both on women’s right to vote and women’s right to run for political office. This dual focus makes this the first book to combine historical overviews of debates about enfranchising women alongside analyses of more contemporary efforts to increase women’s political representation around the globe. Chapter authors map and assess the impact of these groundbreaking reforms, providing insight into these dynamics in a wide array of countries where women’s suffrage and representation have taken different paths and led to varying degrees of transformation. On the eve of many countries celebrating a century of women’s suffrage, as well as record numbers of women elected and appointed to political office, this timely volume offers an important introduction to ongoing developments related to women’s political empowerment worldwide. It will be of interest to students and scholars across the fields of gender and politics, women’s studies, history and sociology.
