Like Leaven in the Dough
In Like Leaven in the Dough: Protestant Social Thought in Latin America, 1920-1950, Carlos Mondrag n offers an introduction to the ideas of notable Protestant writers in Latin America during the first half of the twentieth century. Despite their national and denominational differences, Mondrag n argues that Protestant intellectuals developed a coherent set of ideas about freedom of religion and thought, economic justice, militarism, and national identity. This was a period when Protestants comprised a very small proportion of Latin America's total population; their very marginality compelled them to think creatively about their identity and place in Latin American society. Accused of embracing a foreign faith, these Protestants struggled to define national identities that had room for religious diversity and liberty of conscience. Marginalized and persecuted themselves, Latin America's Protestants articulated a liberating message decades before the appearance of Catholic Liberation Theology.
Saberes de la psicología
El presente libro reúne un conjunto de textos que han sido elaborados por profesores que pertenecen a la carrera de psicología de la FES Iztacala de la UNAM. En él se abordan problemáticas diversas que permiten al lector conocer una pequeña muestra de la gran variedad de temas en los que están involucrados los psicólogos de este campus universitario. Este libro pretende crear un puente de diálogo entre alumnos y profesores en la medida en que puede ser un auxiliar didáctico para los temas que cotidianamente se analizan dentro de las aulas. Igualmente deseamos que dentro y fuera de Iztacala se conozcan y valoren críticamente las construcciones teóricas y metodológicas que se han puesto en juego en cada uno de los trabajos aquí reunidos. Esperamos, también, que este texto se convierta en un medio para comunicarnos y para reiterar que nuestra universidad sigue siendo un espacio propicio para la discusión académica respetuosa y el análisis crítico de los problemas que afectan hoy día a la sociedad mexicana.
Evangélicos y socialismos (1930-1970)
Este libro desafía la percepción convencional de una incompatibilidad entre «evangélicos» y «socialismo». Explora la historia regional y chilena para mostrar que, a pesar de sus raíces políticas y sociales distintas, hubo una alianza entre ciertos sectores del mundo evangélico chileno y el socialismo. Esta conexión, que duró al menos tres décadas, se basó en la afinidad de la esperanza religiosa con las ideas revolucionarias de igualdad y fraternidad del socialismo. Aunque hubo conflictos internos debido a demandas de pureza ideológica, trabajaron juntos en beneficio de lo que consideraban el «pueblo». Este libro desafía la noción de que los evangélicos están inherentemente alineados con el conservadurismo y la derecha política. Resalta la existencia de grupos evangélicos que han luchado por los derechos sociales y políticos de los marginados, a menudo ocultando sus identidades religiosas por temor a ser vistos como «reaccionarios». Al mismo tiempo, insta al mundo político de izquierda a considerar alianzas con los evangélicos en lugar de verlos con sospecha.

Mexican Political Biographies, 1935-1993
My Father’s Shoes is, at its core, an anthology of short stories. The book is allegoric and the shoes are metaphoric. Unlike most anthologies, however, these stories are an amalgam of themselves. They integrate and coalesce. There is a rhythm and a cadence both in substance and in form. This book was initially written as a gift to my father. I wanted to share certain memories with him that were meaningful and lasting. I wanted him to know, from my perspective, just how important he was in my life. He never really understood the profound impact that he had on the lives of other people –especially his family. Because of that humility, or perhaps in honor of it, I wanted to him know that he...
The Myth of Mondragon
This is the first critical account of the internationally renowned Mondragon cooperatives of the Basque region of Spain. The Mondragon cooperatives are seen as the leading alternative model to standard industrial organization; they are considered to be the most successful example of democratic decision making and worker ownership. However, the author argues that the vast scholarly and popular literature on Mondragon idealizes the cooperatives by falsely portraying them as apolitical institutions and by ignoring the experiences of shop floor workers. She shows how this creation of an idealized image of the cooperatives is part of a new global ideology that promotes cooperative labor-management relations in order to discredit labor unions and working-class organizations; this constitutes what she calls the "myth" of Mondragon.
