The Unholy Family
There is a saying: “Blood Is Thicker Than Water.” But at what point will this proverb become a lie? With the family business in sharp decline due to poor leadership from her mother and brother, Dr. Anastasia Machado, M.D., and her husband, Dr. Julio Machado, D.V.M., the moment has arrived for both to join forces to keep the family business from failing. But for them to do so will forever disprove the axiom. Splintering a family in the process. For Julio and Anastasia, taking that fateful step would ensue a drama will result in a husband and wife team igniting a bitter family feud. One that will pit a mother and her son against this physician and veterinarian. Yes, it is well known how power corrupts. Money even more so. However, pit a household where both money and power are at stake? The outcome creates a clan that will be forever be truly known by its signature name: The Unholy Family.

Beyond the Eagle's Shadow
The dominant tradition in writing about U.S.-Latin American relations during the Cold War views the United States as all-powerful. That perspective, represented in the metaphor "talons of the eagle," continues to influence much scholarly work down to the present day. The goal of this collection of essays is not to write the United States out of the picture but to explore the ways Latin American governments, groups, companies, organizations, and individuals promoted their own interests and perspectives. The book also challenges the tendency among scholars to see the Cold War as a simple clash of "left" and "right." In various ways, several essays disassemble those categories and explore the complexities of the Cold War as it was experienced beneath the level of great-power relations.
Unwelcome Exiles. Mexico and the Jewish Refugees from Nazism, 1933-1945
Unwelcome Exiles. Mexico and the Jewish Refugees from Nazism, 1933–1945 reconstructs a largely unknown history: during the Second World War, the Mexican government closed its doors to Jewish refugees expelled by the Nazis. In this comprehensive investigation, based on archives in Mexico and the United States, Daniela Gleizer emphasizes the selectiveness and discretionary implementation of post-revolutionary Mexican immigration policy, which sought to preserve mestizaje—the country’s blend of Spanish and Indigenous people and the ideological basis of national identity—by turning away foreigners considered “inassimilable” and therefore “undesirable.” Through her analysis of Mexico’s role in the rescue of refugees in the 1930s and 40s, Gleizer challenges the country’s traditional image of itself as a nation that welcomes the persecuted. This book is a revised and expanded translation of the Spanish El exilio incómodo. México y los refugiados judíos, 1933-1945, which received an Honorable Mention in the LAJSA Book Prize Award 2013.
