Fire and Song
It is1596 and in Mexico the Inquisition is at its most efficient. A young man trembles in his cell as he prays for salvation, torn between the Christianity he was schooled in and his ancestral faith. What heresies will the Holy Office uncover? Can he protect his mother and sisters? He is Luis de Carvajal. His forbears had fled the Inquisition in Spain to Portugal and then from there to the New World. But the lives they try to rebuild as conversos in Mexico are just as perilous, for the Inquisition is determined to root out heretics throughout its realms. Luis's quest for true faith unfolds a tense and moving narrative, as he and his family's spirit and ingenuity are tested again and again. A...
Crisis industrial y especialización turística. Estudio sobre el significado del trabajo
Este estudio compara los discursos sobre el trabajo en una región mediterránea española cuyas transformaciones ayudan a entender la evolución del sistema capitalista en el tránsito del siglo XX al XXI. El enfoque comparativo se materializa en el análisis de dos contextos urbano-productivos (industrial y turístico-inmobiliario) y de dos generaciones (los baby boomers y la «generación Z»). La investigación no se centra en un segmento ocupacional específico, sino en las representaciones que dos generaciones elaboran acerca de los espacios que habitan, cuya vida social y desarrollo económico están determinados por modelos productivos con rasgos muy acentuados y diferentes. La persp...

Mesoamerican Healers
Healing practices in Mesoamerica span a wide range, from traditional folk medicine with roots reaching back into the prehispanic era to westernized biomedicine. These sometimes cooperating, sometimes competing practices have attracted attention from researchers and the public alike, as interest in alternative medicine and holistic healing continues to grow. Responding to this interest, the essays in this book offer a comprehensive, state-of-the-art survey of Mesoamerican healers and medical practices in Mexico and Guatemala. The first two essays describe the work of prehispanic and colonial healers and show how their roles changed over time. The remaining essays look at contemporary healers,...
Women, Business and the Law
Women perform 66% of the world's work, produce 50% of the food, but earn 10% of the income and own 1% of the property. To shed light on why this grim statistic still holds true, Women, Business and the Law aims to examine legal differentiations on the basis of gender in 143 of the world's economies. Women, Business and the Law tracks governments' actions to expand economic opportunities for women across six key areas: accessing institutions, using property, getting a job, providing incentives to work, building credit and going to court. The report uncovers legal differentiations for women and married versus unmarried women such as being able to register a business, open a bank account and wo...

¿Qué papel tienen las redes sumergidas en nuevos ciclos de acción colectiva? ¿Cómo se produce la influencia y los efectos de contagio entre movimientos sociales a través del tiempo?

Explora cómo los movimientos sociales en Madrid transfieren i...
