Las reformas agrarias del Frente Nacional
En este libro se presentan los resultados de investigación del Observatorio de tierras sobre la reforma agraria más importante del siglo XX en Colombia. El Frente Nacional (1958-1974) fue un acuerdo de cogobierno entre los dos grandes partidos de ese momento, el Liberal y el Conservador, que habían estado adelantando ‘una guerra civil no declarada’ durante el periodo inmediatamente anterior, conocido como La Violencia. Durante el Frente Nacional se aprobaron dos grandes leyes de reforma agraria: una en 1961 (Ley 135) y otra en 1968 (Ley 1). Entre los propósitos de la segunda estaba profundizar y desarrollar la primera. Finalmente, desde enero de 1972 a través del llamado Pacto de Ch...
La tierra prometida
Esta obra presenta el trabajo de investigación realizado durante cinco años por el equipo interdisciplinario del Observatorio de Restitución y Regulación de Derechos de Propiedad Agraria, el cual está conformado por unidades académicas de las universidades Nacional, Rosario, Norte, Sergio Arboleda y Sinú. Esta iniciativa financiada por Colciencias incluyó dentro de su agenda de investigación un seguimiento a la implementación de la política desde distintos enfoques metodológicos y disciplinarios. Los equipos de investigación recolectaron información en distintas zonas del país, principalmente en el Caribe colombiano, mediante entrevistas a víctimas del conflicto armado, empresarios, políticos, funcionarios públicos, jueces y magistrados de restitución de tierras e hicieron un seguimiento a las sentencias de restitución de tierras. Así mismo, con el fin de recoger un cuerpo sólido de evidencia, participaron también en intervenciones en instancias como la Corte Constitucional, para así presentar las sólidas conclusiones que se recogen en este libro.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Mud Sweeter than Honey
"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
