Esclavos, negros libres y bogas en la literatura del siglo XIX
Este libro reúne dos trabajos guiados por una preocupación compartida: iluminar el lugar que ocuparon los hombres y mujeres afro descendientes en los discursos, los imaginarios raciales y las letras del siglo XIX colombiano. El trabajo de María Camila Nieto, centrado en las décadas pos esclavistas, analiza las imágenes de esclavos y negros libres construidas en la novela fundacional María y en los textos publicados por autores colombianos en el Museo de Cuadros de Costumbres de El Mosaico. El trabajo de María Riaño, centrado en un marco temporal más amplio, estudia la representación de los bogas del río Magdalena en una diversidad de relatos, ensayos y diarios de viaje escritos por intelectuales nacionales y extranjeros a lo largo de todo el siglo XIX. Por medio de dos análisis rigurosos y un diálogo constante entre historia y literatura, las autoras nos invitan a reflexionar en torno a las relaciones de poder, las inclusiones, exclusiones, tensiones y resistencias que se escondieron en las plumas de los letrados, detrás de las representaciones del esclavo "sumiso", la esclava maternal, el manumiso "irreverente" o el boga .
Contrabando, poder y color en los albores de la República: Nueva Granada, 1822-1824
El 22 de junio de 1822 no sería un día que Antonio Nariño y Ortega, hijo del prócer, olvidaría pronto. Debió leer una y otra vez la boleta de prisión librada a su nombre: "El Sr. Antonio Nariño pasa arrestado á la sala de visita de la carcel pública de esta Ciudad por sospecha de haber falsificado el marchamo1 de los tercios depositados en esta aduana. Mompox junio 22 de 1822. 12- Remigio Marquez, teniente coronel comisionado".2 Los datos proporcionados por esta papeleta no dejan de intrigar: un ciudadano ilustre habría alterado un documento de aduana y estaba encarcelado por ello; un comisionado, el militar Remigio Márquez, era el origen de la medida; los hechos estaban ocurrien...
Acquisitions and Corporate Strategy
Corporate restructuring (acquisitions, alliances and divestment) is a visible form of corporate strategy. For example, firm investments in buying and selling assets exceed the gross domestic product of the majority of nations. Most research in this area examines acquisitions, but informing practice is limited by examining acquisitions in isolation or using a narrow focus. For example, a lingering problem is that average acquisition performance is consistently around zero, suggesting a need to identify practically relevant relationships. In addressing this need, research on three fundamental questions is covered: 1) How do acquisitions relate to other corporate strategy options?; 2) What help...

Origins of New Mexico Families
This book is considered to be the starting place for anyone having family history ties to New Mexico, and for those interested in the history of New Mexico.
