The Zavala Chronicles
The Zavala Chronicles is a real-life story: a culmination of memories, family recollections, confessions, and facts about the large Zavala family. Prepare for an astonishing, wild ride with the Zavalas and their fight to survive poverty, corruption, violent enemies, and lawlessness in México; their efforts to build a new life in the United States; and their struggle to cope with a new culture, a new language, and the inevitable family dysfunctionality and division caused by differences in values of the Mexican and American cultures. Told mostly from the point of view of Carlos Zavala, who chose to break out of long-established family patterns, this story is wrought with conflict, violence, emotion, and real-life characters that you will either love or hate. Riveting, compelling, heartbreaking, and inspiring, The Zavala Chronicles is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
The Diplomatic Enlightenment
Eighteenth-century Spain drew on the Enlightenment to reconfigure its role in the European balance of power. As its force and its weight declined, Spanish thinkers discouraged war and zealotry and pursued peace and cooperation to reconfigure the international Spanish Empire.
Moving Workers
This book explores how workers moved and were moved, why they moved, and how they were kept from moving. Combining global labour history with mobility studies, it investigates moving workers through the lens of coercion. The contributions in this book are based on extensive archival research and span Europe and North America over the past 500 years. They provide fresh historical perspectives on the various regimes of coercion, mobility, and immobility as constituent parts of the political economy of labour. Moving Workers shows that all struggles relating to the mobility of workers or its restriction have the potential to reveal complex configurations of hierarchies, dependencies, and diverging conceptions of work and labour relations that continuously make and remake our world.
Joy and Pain
"Joy and Pain provides an intimate look into the manner in which the carceral state makes Black life precarious. Framing the carceral state as extending beyond the physical walls of a prison and into the daily lived experiences of Black life, the book focuses on housing, education, health care, the nonprofit sector, and juvenile detention facilities. However, Black existence is not defined only by precarity, and thus the book also describes the social visions of Black life that are immersed in radical freedom"--

Edge of Crisis
This authoritative study of colonialism in the Spanish empire at the end of the eighteenth century examines how the Spanish metropole attempted to preserve the links to its richest colony in the western Atlantic, New Spain (Mexico), in the face of international developments. Continuing the approach in Silver, Trade, and War and Apogee of Empire, Barbara and Stanley Stein detail Spain’s ad hoc efforts to adjust metropolitan and colonial institutions, structures, and ideology to the pressures of increased competition in the Old and New worlds. In reviewing the attempts at reform, the authors explore networks of individuals and groups, some accepting and others rejecting the Spanish transatla...
