Don Alquímedes Miranda
aThe visions that wrenched his soul out of a common world began during baptism. Aunt Gloria and Uncle DarA-o, incurable in their affection for wine and rum, were chosen as godparents. Joyous at the honor, both relatives began toasting each other right after breakfast. Consequently, by three oaclock, as father E. Sandino VelAsquez poured holy water over AlquA-medes, Aunt Gloria went into her trance, Uncle DarA-o way out of balance hit the priestas arm, almost drowning a new Christian, while Aunt Gloria, jerking spasmodically, dropped the baby headfirst on the baptismal font. For days tiny AlquA-medes remained unconscious, feverish, dehydrated by diarrhea. Others saw this as a matter of grave medical concern, but for the infant, who did not cry, it was a vision of eternal bliss: God Himself left an imprint that pursued him till eternity.a
Planeta Tierra Hermoso y Amado
La escritora Rosa María Ramírez Moya viene de una familia campesina originaria de Guateque, Boyacá, Colombia; ella es la cuarta de siete hermanos y se siente orgullosa de haber nacido en la bella región del Valle de Tenza. Este es el momento para explicar la singularidad de Rosa María, poetisa, cuentista, ensayista, de inspiración objetiva, directa y escritora de varias obras.

Celebrating Insurrection
The pronunciamiento, a formal list of grievances designed to spark political change in nineteenth-century Mexico, was a problematic yet necessary practice. Although pronunciamientos rarely achieved the goals for which they were undertaken and sometimes resulted in armed rebellion, they were nonetheless both celebrated and commemorated, and the perceptions and representations of pronunciamientos themselves reflected the Mexican people’s response to these “revolutions.” The third in a series of books examining the pronunciamiento, this collection addresses the complicated legacy of pronunciamientos and their place in Mexican political culture. The essays explore the sacralization and leg...
Cybernetic Revolutionaries
A historical study of Chile's twin experiments with cybernetics and socialism, and what they tell us about the relationship of technology and politics. In Cybernetic Revolutionaries, Eden Medina tells the history of two intersecting utopian visions, one political and one technological. The first was Chile's experiment with peaceful socialist change under Salvador Allende; the second was the simultaneous attempt to build a computer system that would manage Chile's economy. Neither vision was fully realized—Allende's government ended with a violent military coup; the system, known as Project Cybersyn, was never completely implemented—but they hold lessons for today about the relationship b...
