The Whole Island
Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets ...
Pioneiras sim, protagonistas, também!
O espaço público de tomada de decisões é uma esfera de poder associada à figura masculina, como se fosse uma atribuição inerente à sua natureza. Em contrapartida, as mulheres são direcionadas para as atividades relacionadas ao cuidado, como a administração doméstica, por serem consideradas "mais adequadas" à vida privada. Desafiando essa estrutura, as mulheres norte rio-grandenses formaram lideranças políticas e requisitaram o direito ao alistamento eleitoral. Tal possibilidade veio por meio da alteração no texto da Constituição Estadual do Rio Grande do Norte, no ano de 1927, retirando a distinção entre os sexos para o acesso aos direitos políticos, possibilitando no a...
En defensa del cuerpo. Dispositivos de control escolares en Cuba 1793-1958
Esta obra es un invaluable aporte a los estudios sobre la escuela y la sociedad en la Cuba de los siglos XIX y XX, así como a la historia de la práctica pedagógica y del pensamiento especializado en estos menesteres. Es fruto de una extensa labor iniciada hace ya algunos años, donde se han puesto en evidencia cuestiones tales como las proyecciones nacionalistas del profesorado cubano, el patriotismo en la escuela o el justo reconocimiento del papel desempeñado por los maestros humildes, tanto urbanos como rurales. Se ponen en relieve en este libro aristas desconocidas de la historia cubana y es capaz de suscitar más de un debate.

Archaeology in the River Duero Valley
From Prehistory to the Middle Ages, from the Spanish mainland to the Portuguese Atlantic Coast, the Duero (or Douro as it is known in English because of its Portuguese translation) has served as a river of great historical importance. It is a river flowing from the past into the future with the legacy of the Homo Antecessor and the most ancient remains of European Prehistory, showcasing the first samples of inland farming during the Iberian Neolithic period and many examples of Schematic Rock Art. Before the total obliteration of archaeological sites in the Duero valley due to active agricultural labours and the course of time itself, the Archaeological and Protohistoric Society of Zamora, Z...

The Right in Latin America
Most current analysis on Latin American politics has been directed at examining the shift to the left in the region. Very little attention, however, has been paid to the reactions of the right to this phenomenon. What kind of discursive, policy, and strategic responses have emerged among the right in Latin America as a result of this historic turn to the left? Have there been any shifts in attitudes to inequality and poverty as a result of the successes of the left in those areas? How has the right responded strategically to regain the political initiative from the left? And what implications might such responses have for democracy in the region? The Right in Latin America seeks to provide a...
