Historia del cuidado
La historia de las mujeres y hombres que se dedicaban al cuidado de los enfermos, de las parturientas o los niños en la Antigüedad grecorromana puede construirse a través de la relevante información que nos aportan los libros de medicina, los monumentos, las obras de literatura o poesía. Es cierto que la abundancia y diversidad de la documentación, así como la fragmentación, en ocasiones, o la ausencia de traducciones a lenguas modernas, dificulta el estudio, sin embargo, la riqueza de los materiales es tal, que merece la pena intentarlo. Este libro de carácter didáctico y riguroso presenta una selección de fuentes sobre todo de la época grecorromana, que nos demuestra cómo las mujeres y su salud, así como las mujeres que cuidan a otras (parteras y nodrizas), están presentes en una sociedad que limita la actividad de estas al ámbito doméstico y que construye el conocimiento de su cuerpo tomando como norma el cuerpo del varón. Están incluidas también fuentes relativas a los orígenes del hospital, la práctica de la medicina religiosa griega, el hospital militar romano y los soldados romanos que desempeñaban funciones de enfermeros.
Negotiating Cultures
James I "the Conqueror", king of Arago-Catalonia, conquered Mediterranean Spain from Islam during fifty crusading years (1225-1276). From his many surrender treaties, only two survive in their interlinear bilingual originals, both presented here. Each reflects the fragmentation of post-Almohad Islam, the warrior heroes of Islam carving recalcitrant principalities out of the confusion, the hard-fought local negotiations and the confrontation between two radically opposed mentalities. The full meaning of these battered and deteriorated bits of parchment emerges only from minute reconstruction of the Arabic and Latinate texts and especially from ever-widening circles of changing contexts in each world, an historical kaleidoscope. Many surprises here await students of medieval Europe, the Islamic West, Spain, the Crusades, diplomacy, Mudejars/Moriscos, and cultural conflict and interchange.
Regional Voices in the Geo-Politics of Mexico and Central America, 1959-2019
This book is a collective work published as part of a larger project titled "Mexico-Guatemala cross-border region; regional dimensions and bases for integrated development," the purpose of which is to introduce a series of issues relative to the geopolitical dimension of Mexico’s actions in Central America and its stance on conflicts in the region between 1959 and 2019. The most widely published texts up until now have been written by Mexican authors, and we have less insight into how these processes have been viewed from Central America. With that in mind, we brought together a group of specialists, each highly renowned in their own country, some of them academics and others whose account...

Christians, Muslims, and Jews in Medieval and Early Modern Spain
The essays in this interdisciplinary volume examine the social and cultural interaction of Christians, Muslims, and Jews in Spain during the medieval and early modern periods. Together, the essays provide a unique comparative perspective on compelling problems of ethnoreligious relations. Christians, Muslims, and Jews in Medieval and Early Modern Spain considers how certain social and political conditions fostered fruitful cultural interchange, while others promoted mutual hostility and aversion. The volume examines the factors that enabled one religious minority to maintain its cultural integrity and identity more effectively than another in the same sociopolitical setting. This volume provides an enriched understanding of how Christians, Muslims, and Jews encountered ideological antagonism and negotiated the theological and social boundaries that separated them.
