Espacios de encierro, detención, castigo y trabajo penado en la historia de Colombia, siglos XVI a XX
Esta compilación de nueve capítulos de investigación sobre los espacios de encierro, detención, castigo y trabajo penado en la historia de Colombia ofrece una mirada de larguísima duración en nuestro territorio, desde las primeras fundaciones de Tierra Firme, pasando por el Virreinato del Nuevo Reino de Granada, hasta la República de Colombia en el siglo XX. Si bien nos permite identificar múltiples diferencias en dichas temáticas respecto al siglo XXI, también registra continuidades como el hacinamiento, las condiciones inhumanas de encierro, la propensión a la fuga, el nulo presupuesto estatal para reparar los deteriorados espacios de encierro, el abuso de poder al interior de l...
Indivisible
This timely, moving debut novel follows a teen's efforts to keep his family together as his parents face deportation. Mateo Garcia and his younger sister, Sophie, have been taught to fear one word for as long as they can remember: deportation. Over the past few years, however, the fear that their undocumented immigrant parents could be sent back to Mexico started to fade. Ma and Pa have been in the United States for so long, they have American-born children, and they're hard workers and good neighbors. When Mateo returns from school one day to find that his parents have been taken by ICE, he realizes that his family's worst nightmare has become a reality. With his parents' fate and his own future hanging in the balance, Mateo must figure out who he is and what he is capable of, even as he's forced to question what it means to be an American. Daniel Aleman's Indivisible is a remarkable story—both powerful in its explorations of immigration in America and deeply intimate in its portrait of a teen boy driven by his fierce, protective love for his parents and his sister.
Confederate Patriot, Journalist, and Poet:
José Agustín Quintero (1829-1885) was a Cuban American from New Orleans, Louisiana who skillfully and energetically represented the Confederacy in northeastern Mexico during the Civil War. This dynamic multilingual leader helped coordinate the defensive plans necessary to protect the Texas border and insure the procurement of war material and provisions vital to the Southern Army. He is a relatively unknown but fascinating figure in many ways: a native of Cuba who participated in his country’s struggle for independence against Spain, an outstanding writer of Cuban patriotic poetry, and an American who was highly respected and recognized for his legal and journalistic accomplishments, as well as his significant diplomatic contributions to the Southern Cause. This is the story of a man of extraordinary culture, an extremely intelligent, capable, and determined immigrant who believed passionately in a cause and dedicated much of his short life to it.
Strength from the Waters
Strength from the Waters is an environmental and social history that frames economic development, environmental concerns, and Indigenous mobilization within the context of a timeless issue: access to water. Between 1927 and 1970 the Mayo people—an Indigenous group in northwestern Mexico—confronted changing access to the largest freshwater source in the region, the Fuerte River. In Strength from the Waters James V. Mestaz demonstrates how the Mayo people used newly available opportunities such as irrigation laws, land reform, and cooperatives to maintain their connection to their river system and protect their Indigenous identity. By using irrigation technologies to increase crop producti...

Cuando los claroscuros se difuminan...
ninguna investigación ha hecho énfasis en profundizar sobre la experiencia vivida por las esclavas y los esclavos, y sus vínculos sentimentales con miembros de la comunidad blanca. En vista de estos vacíos, el presente libro intenta analizar de manera sistemática la problemática que giró en torno a las relaciones amorosas entre la comunidad esclava y los exponentes de la raza blanca en el territorio neogranadino durante la época de dominio hispánico. Tal espectro de posibilidades sentimentales incluyeron desde luego los romances entre blancos y esclavas, así como también los lazos amorosos que se entretejieron entre amas y esclavos. Por lo general, estas relaciones estuvieron signadas por la represión y la censura derivadas de la cerrada y jerarquizada estructura social y étnica de aquel entonces. Sin embargo, en otras situaciones fue posible ver cómo esos vínculos significaron para las comunidades afrodescendientes nuevas alternativas de ascenso social y mejoras en sus condiciones de vida.
