Unbroken Chains
An urgent exposition of the pervasive human trafficking that lies just beneath the surface of the US economy—from the stories of its survivors The years of the COVID-19 pandemic have brought to light the exploitation of workers. In this moment of heightened visibility, Unbroken Chains demands that readers examine the hidden sector of American trafficked labor and understand its prevalence across our economy. Drawing from nearly two decades of research on US and international human trafficking, Melissa Hope Ditmore sets forth the harrowing stories of human trafficking survivors and grounds their accounts in the long history of US indentured servitude, looking to its iterations in chattel sl...
Slavery Inc
Illegal, inhuman, and impervious to recession, there is one trade that continues to thrive, just out of sight. The international sex trade criss-crosses the entire globe, a sinister network made up of criminal masterminds, local handlers, corrupt policemen, willfully blind politicians, eager consumers, and countless hapless women and children. In this ground-breaking work of investigative reporting, the celebrated journalist Lydia Cacho follows the trail of the traffickers and their victims from Mexico to Turkey, Thailand to Iraq, Georgia to the UK, to expose the trade's hidden links with the tourist industry, internet pornography, drugs and arms smuggling, the selling of body organs, money laundering, and even terrorism. This is an underground economy in which a sex slave can be bought for the price of a gun, but Cacho's powerful first-person interviews with mafiosi, pimps, prostitutes, and those who managed to escape from captivity makes it impossible to ignore the terrible human cost of this lucrative exchange. Shocking and sobering, Slavery Inc, is an exceptional book, both for the colossal scope of its enquiry, and for the tenacious bravery with which Cacho pursues the truth.
Violencia de género en relaciones de pareja
La violencia de género en las relaciones de pareja aborda un tema sensible para la sociedad iberoamericana, como es la violencia contra las mujeres que en particular ocurre en las relaciones de parejas heterosexuales y que inician con el anhelo femenino de encontrar el amor; el cual funciona como una trampa para ellas porque desata una serie de violencias como la prostitución, la trata de personas y el feminicidio, por mencionar algunas. De ahí la relevancia de este libro, que reúne catorce capítulos que analizan la violencia de género de manera interdisciplinaria y desde una mirada reflexiva y crítica que llevan al lector, de la mano en cada capítulo, a las investigaciones actuales acerca de la violencia contra las mujeres. Este libro contribuye en el análisis de este fenómeno complejo que es la violencia de género en las relaciones de pareja, pues deja al descubierto los mecanismos de poder que subyacen en éstas; por lo tanto, el libro aspira a ser un aporte en la tarea de lograr una vida libre de violencia para las mujeres.

The Condor Trials
Stories of transnational terror and justice illuminate the past and present of South America's struggles for human rights "Outstanding. . . . An Olympian view of the Condor system."--Philip Chrimes, International Affairs Through the voices of survivors and witnesses, human rights activists, judicial actors, journalists, and historians, Francesca Lessa unravels the secrets of transnational repression masterminded by South American dictators between 1969 and 1981. Under Operation Condor, their violent and oppressive regimes kidnapped, tortured, and murdered hundreds of exiles, or forcibly returned them to the countries from which they had fled. South America became a zone of terror for those w...
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Netflix’s series adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude premieres December 11, 2024! One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.

Masculinidades, prostitución y trata de personas
Este libro se trata de una obra colectiva y en su conjunto se hallarán diversas panorámicas de estudio que coinciden a su vez con la imperiosa necesidad de deconstruir una masculinidad altamente propensa al ejercicio de la violencia sexual, feminicida y la compra de las mujeres con fines de explotación sexual, reconociendo las carencias de los programas de reeducación de varones, inundadas de grupos y asociaciones que lucran con escaso compromiso de cambios y retos en sociedades complejas. En el marco de este libro, se me antoja preguntar: ¿cómo y de quién aprendimos los hombres a pagar por sexo? ¿Cuáles son las diferencias entre pagar o no? ¿Qué significa la vida en situación de prostitución para nosotros? ¿Qué efectos tiene para los varones latinoamericanos la idea de legalizar el "trabajo sexual"? ¿Los varones estamos conscientes de la violencia sexual, sus modalidades y aplicaciones en las relaciones de pareja y con mujeres en situación de prostitución?
Las formas de tratamiento «tú y usted» en el español centro-norte peninsular
Descripción / Resumen (Español / Castellano): La presente investigación tiene como fin la revisión y actualización del panorama teórico-experimental sobre el uso de las formas de tratamiento tú y usted, que se emplean en el denominado “español castellano” o “español centro-norte peninsular”. Este tema ha sido ampliamente abordado por la Sociolingüística desde finales de los años 60, siendo objeto de profusas diatribas teóricas por la falta de acuerdo sobre los factores que intervienen en la selección de las formas tú y usted. Para llevar a cabo el estudio, se ha optado por una combinación de métodos y de metodologías de análisis, que dan lugar a la triangulación m...
