The Rise of Spanish Multinationals
A 2005 analysis of both the causes and consequences of the international expansion of Spanish multinational firms.
The Scramble for Citizens
It is commonly assumed that there is an enduring link between individuals and their countries of citizenship. Plural citizenship is therefore viewed with skepticism, if not outright suspicion. But the effects of widespread global migration belie common assumptions, and the connection between individuals and the countries in which they live cannot always be so easily mapped. In The Scramble for Citizens, David Cook-Martín analyzes immigration and nationality laws in Argentina, Italy, and Spain since the mid 19th century to reveal the contextual dynamics that have shaped the quality of legal and affective bonds between nation-states and citizens. He shows how the recent erosion of rights and privileges in Argentina has motivated individuals to seek nationality in ancestral homelands, thinking two nationalities would be more valuable than one. This book details the legal and administrative mechanisms at work, describes the patterns of law and practice, and explores the implications for how we understand the very meaning of citizenship.
Between Jerusalem and Europe
Between Jerusalem and Europe: Essays in Honour of Bianca Kühnel analyses how Jerusalem is translated into the visual and material culture of medieval, early modern and contemporary Europe, and in what ways European encounters with the city have shaped its holy sites. The volume also demonstrates methodological shifts in the study of Jerusalem in Western art by mapping the diversity of concepts that underlie imaginations of the city as an earthly presence and a heavenly realization, as a physical and a mental space, and as a unique location which is multiplied and re-imagined in numerous copies elsewhere. Contributors are Lily Arad, Pnina Arad, Barbara Baert, Neta B. Bodner, Iris Gerlitz, Anastasia Keshman Wasserman, Katrin Kogman-Appel, Ora Limor, Galit Noga-Banai, Robert Ousterhout, Yamit Rachman-Schrire, Bruno Reudenbach, Alessandro Scafi, Tsafra Siew, and Victor I. Stoichita.
Witness to the Age of Revolution
This stunning graphic history tells the story of Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru, a descendant of the last Inca rulers. After participating in his half-brother's massive rebellion that stretched across Peru from 1780 to 1783, Juan Bautista spent forty years imprisoned by the Spanish, on an "odyssey" that took him from Cusco to Lima to Rio de Janeiro to Cádiz to Ceuta, the African presidio, and back to South America.
Ethnic Music on Records
This impressive compilation offers a nearly complete listing of sound recordings made by American minority artists prior to mid-1942. Organized by national group or language, the seven-volume set cites primary and secondary titles, composers, participating artists, instrumentation, date and place of recording, master and release numbers, and reissues in all formats. Because of its clear arrangements and indexes, it will be a unique and valuable tool for music and ethnic historians, folklorists, and others.
Electric News in Colonial Algeria
As Algeria became connected to international news networks during French colonial rule in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this study examines how news spread through communities and across social divides, how new media changed the communication landscape, and how surveillance by the French government played a role.
Neighbours of Passage
The book is a sociocultural microhistory of migrants. From the 1880s to the 1930s, it traces the lives of the occupants of a housing complex located just north of the French capital, in the heart of the Plaine-Saint-Denis. Starting in the 1870s, that industrial suburb became a magnet for working-class migrants of diverse origins, from within France and abroad. The author examines how the inhabitants of that particular place identified themselves and others. The study looks at the role played, in the construction of social difference, by interpersonal contacts, institutional interactions and migration. The objective of the book is to carry out an original experiment: applying microhistorical ...
Guerra y Paz. La Sociedad Internacional entre el Conflicto y la Cooperación
El propósito de este libro es mostrar la trama del confl icto y las iniciativas de quietud que se han dado en la sociedad contemporánea. Como el lector tendrá ocasión de comprobar en los capítulos que se consignan, la guerra tiene mayor presencia que las aptitudes de paz. No ha sido este hecho premeditado sino que tras el llamamiento que se ha realizado a los especialistas que aquí aparecen, éstos han sido los espontáneos resultados. Lo cual muestra el predominio del drama frente a la concordia internacional. Muchas razones se suelen aducir para dar comienzo al lenguaje de las armas, desde la tesis de Maquiavelo según la cual los cimientos principales de todos los Estados son las bu...
