Same-sex Marriage in the United States
Same-sex marriage has become one of the defining social issues in contemporary U.S. politics. State court decisions finding in favor of same-sex relationship equality claims have been central to the issue's ascent from nowhere to near the top of the national political agenda. Same Sex Marriage in the United States tells the story of the legal and cultural shift, its backlash, and how it has evolved over the past 15 years. This book aids in a classroom examination of the legal, political, and social developments surrounding the issue of same-sex marriage in the United States. While books about same-sex marriage have proliferated in recent years, few, if any, have provided a clear and comprehensive account of the litigation for same-sex marriage, and its successes and failures, as this book does. Updated through 2013, this edition details the watershed rulings in favor of same-sex marriage: the Supreme Court's June 26th repeal of DOMA, and of Proposition 8 in California, as well as the many states (New Jersey, Illinois, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Nevada among others) where activists and public leaders have made recent strides to ensure that gay couples have an equal right to marry.
Acceso a la información, transparencia y derechos humanos: desde una mirada regional
Este libro tiene por objetivo brindar un panorama teórico y de política pública aplicada sobre el acceso a la información pública, la transparencia y los derechos humanos en el continente americano. Para ello, reconocidos autores y autoras analizan el estado de situación: avances, dificultades y desafíos de estos temas en la región. El libro se compone de tres partes. La primera aborda el derecho de acceso a la información pública desde una perspectiva teórica, destacando su carácter fundamental como requisito esencial para la toma de decisiones públicas. La segunda sección se centra en la aplicación práctica de este derecho y en las políticas públicas diseñadas para su implementación, destacando la brecha persistente entre la teoría legal y su implementación. Por último, la tercera parte examina el impacto del derecho de acceso a la información, la transparencia y la gestión de datos en la sociedad en general, prestando especial atención a los grupos en situación de vulnerabilidad.
The Diary of Heinrich Witt (10 vols.)

Same-sex Marriage in Latin America
This book is a follow-up volume to Same-Sex Marriage in the Americas: Policy Innovation for Same-Sex Relationships published by Lexington Books in 2010. It sheds light on regional, national, and individual-level factors that have led to major developments for same-sex relationship equality in Latin America and explores institutional, political, and social barriers for same-sex couples in the region. The first section of the book deals with general aspects of same-sex rights and policies in the Americas; including public opinion regarding same-sex marriage, diffusion of policy innovations for same-sex couples, judicialization of LGBT rights, and the role of the left in support of same-sex rights in Latin America. The second section examines country-cases regarding same-sex policies in Latin America and includes separate chapters on Central America, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Uruguay. Overall, this research is innovative and unique because it covers the understudied policies of same-sex relationships in Latin America, despite its recent major developments, and includes both regional and national level analyses to explain such developments.

Women, Culture, and Politics in Latin America
“This collection, because of its exceptional theoretical coherence and sophistication, is qualitatively superior to the most frequently consulted anthologies on Latin American women’s history and literature . . . [and] represents a new, more theoretically rigorous stage in the feminist debate on Latin American women.”—Elizabeth Garrels, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
