Rogue Revolutionaries
In Rogue Revolutionaries, Vanessa Mongey revives a lost and fleeting world of cosmopolitan radicalism through the stories of "foreigners of desperate fortune" who sought to ignite revolutions and create their own independent states. Their quest for recognition clashed with the growing power of nation-states and a new international order.
Mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes ante el discurso del derecho moderno
¿Es realmente el feminismo el movimiento social más exitoso del siglo xx? Para pensar esta pregunta, las mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes de la región han puesto puntos sobre las íes de la cuestión, empezando por dejar claro que no existe un feminismo, porque no existe un solo mundo.

Este libro está dedicado al análisis de los sentidos de los derechos de las mujeres indígenas y afrodescendientes en el debate contemporáneo. El volumen aborda las...

La pospandemia y los efectos de la pandemia aún presentes han motivado múltiples discusiones, dejando en claro que no se quiere volver a una normalidad cuyos problemas estructurales no han sido solucionados por la economía de mercado a lo largo de varias décadas, sino que, por el contrario, se han agudizado y visibilizado con la propagación de la covid-19. Con el propósito de superar las numerosas consecuencias en sus diversas dimensiones, se impulsan cambios en el modelo económico vigente, de tal modo que permita rebasar sus fallos y reorientar el papel del Estado hacia uno más activo en lo económico, social y ambiental, en donde se otorgue un papel preponderante a las necesidades ...

The Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole.

Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...

Ziff offers a revealing look at the incredibly varied ways a 1960s photo and Che Guevara have been appropriated. The image has become an ideal of abstraction, and this text vividly demonstrates the diverse ways in which it has been used.
