Los Extorsionadores
En 'Los Extorsionadores' se pone en evidencia y se acentúa la disolución del espacio político de la sociedad en un país simulado, donde se deconstruye toda referencia a la casualidad y en el que los personajes representan su propio proceso de enunciación, su propia estructura discursiva, convirtiéndose en testigos y hacedores de la vida sociocultural de su país.

The Carbon Fix
Given the growing urgency to develop global responses to a changing climate, The Carbon Fix examines the social and equity dimensions of putting the world’s forests—and, necessarily, the rural people who manage and depend on them—at the center of climate policy efforts such as REDD+, intended to slow global warming. The book assesses the implications of international policy approaches that focus on forests as carbon and especially, forest carbon offsets, for rights, justice, and climate governance.
