And You Welcomed Me
Human beings leave their homelands for many reasons and they are called by many names: illegal aliens, strangers, asylum-seekers, displaced persons, economic migrants, lawful permanent residents, refugees, temporary workers, and victims of trafficking. Some are forced to flee because of violence, persecution, natural disaster, or intense economic privation. Most migrate in search of a better life, many as part of a family survival strategy. The movement of people from one place to another has remained a constant feature of human history. In an era characterized by the fast and cheaper movement of goods and services around the globe, migrants are the face of globalization. The world's two hun...
Colligite Fragmenta
En una època de perplexitats i incerteses esperonades pel «repte del fragment» (José María Mardones), s'obrin vies que malden per integrar experiència espiritual i compromís social, mística i política, contemplació i acció, profecia i diàleg. Pertoca preguntar-nos què hi pot aportar la tradició cristiana, sovint hipotecada per la seua complicitat amb ideologies i poders que redueixen, exclouen i rebutgen. Aquest volum convida el lector a recollir els fragments, reescrivint la història «a contrapèl» (Walter Benjamin) a través de la memòria, la reivindicació i el testimoni; però també a ordenar els fragments i a arribar així a compondre un mosaic, elaborant pacientment una filosofia i una antropologia no reduccionistes, sempre obertes a noves aportacions i revisions, en la recerca d'un ordre social flexible, integrador i equitatiu.
