Between Argentines and Arabs
Between Argentines and Arabs is a groundbreaking contribution to two growing fields: the study of immigrants and minorities in Latin America and the study of the Arab diaspora. As a literary and cultural study, this book examines the textual dialogue between Argentines of European descent and Arab immigrants to Argentina from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s. Using methods drawn from literary analysis and cultural studies, Christina Civantos shows that the Arab presence is twofold: "the Arab" and "the Orient" are an imagined figure and space within the texts produced by Euro-Argentine intellectuals; and immigrants from the Arab world are an actual community, producing their own texts within the multiethnic Argentine nation. This book is both a literary history—of Argentine Orientalist literature and Arab-Argentine immigrant literature—and a critical analysis of how the formation of identities in these two bodies of work is interconnected.

De Yturbe Arquitectos
For De Yturbe Arquitectos, the Mexico City-based architects, architecture is an opportunity to reunite simple pleasures, like light, air, view, colour, natural beauty, and simpleness. Over the years and full of ideas, they have always followed the premise less is more. The idea has been so marked in their theories, that they tended to open doors of minimalism.
