Suspect Freedoms
Beginning in the early nineteenth century, Cubans migrated to New York City to organize and protest against Spanish colonial rule. While revolutionary wars raged in Cuba, expatriates envisioned, dissected, and redefined meanings of independence and nationhood. An underlying element was the concept of Cubanidad, a shared sense of what it meant to be Cuban. Deeply influenced by discussions of slavery, freedom, masculinity, and United States imperialism, the question of what and who constituted “being Cuban” remained in flux and often, suspect. The first book to explore Cuban racial and sexual politics in New York during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Suspect Freedoms chronicles th...
Racial Migrations
The gripping history of Afro-Latino migrants who conspired to overthrow a colonial monarchy, end slavery, and secure full citizenship in their homelands In the late nineteenth century, a small group of Cubans and Puerto Ricans of African descent settled in the segregated tenements of New York City.

At the same time, these individuals—including Rafael Serra, a cigar maker, writer, and politician; Sotero Figueroa, a typesetter, editor, and publisher; and Gertrudis Heredia, one of the first women of African descent to study midwifery at...
Emerging Global Population Health Risks: From Epidemiological Perspectives
Public and global health professionals realize that despite significant advances in improving population health and preventing high mortality from communicable and non-communicable diseases and managing/treating both communicable and con-communicable diseases the global population health status remains fragile. This is partly due to the global life pattern in the 21st century making world as a global village. Individuals’ movements in global society have been facilitated rapidly and the current advance in travel and trade across different geographical locations allow rapid spread of any newly identified infectious agents. Therefore, relatively the likelihood of an outbreak and pandemic increases if there is no suitably coordinated active global surveillance in place.

Fiesta y ritual en la tradición popular latinoamericana
Esta obra contribuye a establecer un diálogo fértil con los lectores a partir del recorrido por la función vivificadora de la fiesta y el ritual en algunos de los países que conforman esta región. Un recorrido que pasa tanto por las fiestas indígenas de la tradición mexicana como por las de origen novohispano, las mismas que fueron convocadas a la aparición de una nueva cultura, en donde se privilegiaron los lenguajes que nos relacionan desde el comienzo. Las transformaciones que se han producido condicionan nuestra historia porque reivindican el origen y se dinamizan hacia el futuro. En este sentido, la obra reflexiona sobre el uso de algunos conceptos y la creación de otros, pero siempre por medio de precisiones y generalizaciones que partan de lo que las comunidades van creando.
