Si alguna vez te has despertado creyendo que has vivido otra realidad, o si has visitado un lugar y te ha parecido que ya has estado ahí o si has leído una historia que te recuerda a otra historia tuya, entenderás porqué el protagonista de esta historia no tiene nombre. Es porque su nombre es... el tuyo. Y si alguna vez has sabido lo que iba a pasar y pasó, no hagas caso si te dicen que es una coincidencia. Habla con Melisa primero. Durante el relato me he encontrado varias veces con grandes dificultades para seguir adelante con normalidad y evitar de esa forma que la propia narración me afectara personalmente ya que es una historia que tiene la magia de arrastrarte hacia su interior haciéndote perder la noción de tu realidad.

"A theoretically cutting edge ethnography of neoliberalism as suffered by most poor people across the globe. Pine creatively links macro-structural forces in Honduras to the everyday life of factory workers, shanty town dwellers, gang kids, alcoholics and crack smokers within the context of globalized consumerism and the history of U.S. domination of Central America."—Philippe Bourgois, author of In Search of Respect "Gutsy fieldwork. A compassionate analysis of the links between work, violence, corporate capitalism, American empire, and self-worth. It will make your blood boil."—Laura Nader, University of California, Berkeley "Using largely the voices of others, Pine's rigorous but sensitive anthropological approach interweaves gangs, work, religion, drink, politics, and even globalization to show clearly how violence pervades the everyday life of many Hondurans. It is a realistic tour de force!"—Dwight B. Heath, Brown University

Transformations in Cuban art, literature and culture in the post-Fidel era Cuba has been in a state of massive transformation over the past decade, with its historic resumption of diplomatic relations with the United States only the latest development. While the political leadership has changed direction, other forces have taken hold. The environment is under threat, and the culture feels the strain of new forms of consumption. Planet/Cuba examines how art and literature have responded to a new moment, one both more globalized and less exceptional; more concerned with local quotidian worries than international alliances; more threatened by the depredations of planetary capitalism and climate change than by the vagaries of the nation's government. Rachel Price examines a fascinating array of artists and writers who are tracing a new socio-cultural map of the island.
