A Nation for All
After thirty years of anticolonial struggle against Spain and four years of military occupation by the United States, Cuba formally became an independent republic in 1902. The nationalist coalition that fought for Cuba's freedom, a movement in which blacks and mulattoes were well represented, had envisioned an egalitarian and inclusive country--a nation for all, as Jose Marti described it. But did the Cuban republic, and later the Cuban revolution, live up to these expectations? Tracing the formation and reformulation of nationalist ideologies, government policies, and different forms of social and political mobilization in republican and postrevolutionary Cuba, Alejandro de la Fuente explores the opportunities and limitations that Afro-Cubans experienced in such areas as job access, education, and political representation. Challenging assumptions of both underlying racism and racial democracy, he contends that racism and antiracism coexisted within Cuban nationalism and, in turn, Cuban society. This coexistence has persisted to this day, despite significant efforts by the revolutionary government to improve the lot of the poor and build a nation that was truly for all.

Elecciones generales 2008
Esta publicación analiza las elecciones generales a Cortes celebradas en España en marzo de 2008. Con el fin de explicar cómo votaron los españoles, y sirviéndose de las encuestas del CIS, sus distintos capítulos examinan cuestiones como la campaña electoral, la participación en los comicios, la utilización de Internet, el impacto en el voto de la llamada crispación, el efecto de los debates electorales, el alcance del voto útil, la influencia de la religiosidad, la ideología o el nacionalismo, la importancia de los líderes políticos y las características del sistema de partidos, además del caso especial de las elecciones autonómicas en Andalucía, celebradas simultáneamente. Sus autores, pertenecientes a universidades y centros de investigación de reconocido prestigio, conjugan un sofisticado análisis mediante técnicas estadísticas avanzadas con la utilización de un lenguaje accesible a lectores no especializados. Todo ello convierte este libro en lectura imprescindible para el conocimiento de la vida política española actual.
