Family and Empire
In the medieval and early modern periods, Spain shaped a global empire from scattered territories spanning Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Historians either have studied this empire piecemeal—one territory at a time—or have focused on monarchs endeavoring to mandate the allegiance of far-flung territories to the crown. For Yuen-Gen Liang, these approaches do not adequately explain the forces that connected the territories that the Spanish empire comprised. In Family and Empire, Liang investigates the horizontal ties created by noble family networks whose members fanned out to conquer and subsequently administer key territories in Spain's Mediterranean realm. Liang focuses on the Ferná...
Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 76
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.
Utopía y mercado
Utopía y mercado es una antología que busca reflejar los diferentes rostros del pensamiento libertario. De los fundamentos de los liberales libertarios a los clásicos de la izquierda libertaria, pasando por el paleolibertarismo de la década del noventa. De las posiciones de la tradición libertaria en materia de sexualidad, drogas, arte y cultura al libertarismo del siglo XXI, en particular el desarrollo de las criptomonedas y las startups tecnológicas. De autores clásicos como Murray Rothbard, Robert Nozick y Ayn Rand a contemporáneos como Peter Thiel, Satoshi Sakamoto y Patri Fridman. Se recogen las intervenciones y los desarrollos teóricos más significativos de este temperamento anti-estatalista y sus efectos políticos, económicos y morales.

Foucault y el liberalismo
Foucault se ha convertido en uno de los clásicos del pensamiento del siglo XX, y también en uno de los autores más universales, tanto por su influencia como por la multiplicidad de temas que aborda, los intereses que animan sus investigaciones y los saberes y disciplinas concernidas. La locura, la medicina, las ciencias humanas, las cárceles y la sexualidad han sido, sin duda, los temas más conocidos. La economía y, en particular, el liberalismo y los neoliberalismos contemporáneos son problemáticas que comienzan a ocupar un espacio semejante al que ocuparon esos temas antes mencionados. Este trabajo de Luis Diego Fernández constituye el primer libro en español sobre la cuestión liberal en el pensamiento de Michel Foucault.
The Invisible War
After the conquest of Mexico, colonial authorities attempted to enforce Christian beliefs among indigenous peoples—a project they envisioned as spiritual warfare. The Invisible War assesses this immense but dislocated project by examining all known efforts in Central Mexico to obliterate native devotions of Mesoamerican origin between the 1530s and the late eighteenth century. The author's innovative interpretation of these efforts is punctuated by three events: the creation of an Inquisition tribunal in Mexico in 1571; the native rebellion of Tehuantepec in 1660; and the emergence of eerily modern strategies for isolating idolaters, teaching Spanish to natives, and obtaining medical proof...
