The Alcalde
As the magazine of the Texas Exes, The Alcalde has united alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin for nearly 100 years. The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater. The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."
Entangled Terrains and Identities in Cuba
Entangled Terrains: Empire, Identity, and Memories of Guantánamo explores the challenges and conflicts of life in the transnational spaces between Cuba and the United States by examining the lived experiences of Alberto Jones, a first-generation black Cuban who worked at the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay. Asa McKercher and Catherine Krull take readers on a journey through Jones’s life as he crossed the entangled political, racial, cultural, and economic boundaries, both in Cuba and living as a black Cuban in central Florida. McKercher and Krull argue that Jones’s story encapsulates the reality of recent Caribbean and Cuban experiences as they deconstruct the events of his life to reveal the broader cultural and social implications of identity, boundaries, and belonging throughout Caribbean and Cuban history.

The Management Delusion
85% of people worldwide are either not engaged with their work, or are actively disengaged from it.75% of people who quit their job do so because of their manager, not their role.We find the idea of management comforting because it gives us a sense of control. But it isn't doing what it claims to do. That sense of control isn't real. The purpose of management is to get people to do work, and to keep them engaged when they do it. It is catastrophically failing at both those things and has been for decades. It doesn't work. Not the way we're doing it.From the founder of the game changing software company DoThings, The Management Delusion expertly dispels the notion that conventional management...
