Una creciente literatura que examina el gobierno encabezado por el presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador comienza a acumularse. Tanto su profundidad, calidad y perspectivas son muy variadas, así como las conclusiones que arroja. Cabe advertir que las aseveraciones de esta novel literatura no pueden considerarse como definitivas, pues se trata de una administración federal en marcha y los efectos y resultados de sus acciones todavía no puedan establecerse con precisión. De cualquier manera, es indispensable seguir desarrollando investigaciones que analicen el ejercicio de gobierno de una apuesta tan ambiciosa como lo es la llamada Cuarta Transformación.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Illuminates the diverse image culture in North America's largest metropolis and the ways Mexican photographers are pushing new visions in the medium. The latest in a series of city-based issues, Mexico City profiles the dynamic photographic culture of Mexico's capital, home to a thriving contemporary art scene, revered photography institutions, and world-class museums. From icons Lola Álvarez Bravo, Tina Modotti, and Graciela Iturbide to the most exciting figures at work today, the issue presents a range of photography as well as Mexican and Latin American writers--both veterans and newcomers--to an international audience.
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
