Este libro busca establecer un diálogo inicial entre historiadores colombianos y chilenos del siglo XXI con el fin de dar a conocer, en ambos países, problemáticas históricas que puedan ser complementadas. Se pretende así avanzar en el futuro hacia miradas más integradas que permitan la construcción de narrativas en las que las experiencias históricas chilenas, colombianas y, por qué no decirlo, americanas, puedan ser conectadas, algo que ya se logra parcialmente en algunos capítulos de este libro. Con este propósito fueron seleccionados cuatro grandes temas: la historiografía; identidad, nación y nacionalismo; economía y Estado, y, finalmente, modernidad, desarrollo e intelectualidad.

Leader of Latin America’s powerful new women’s movement rethinks the meaning of feminist politics Recent years have seen massive feminist mobilizations in virtually every continent, overturning social mores and repressive legislation. In this brilliant and original look at the emerging feminist international, Verónica Gago explores how the women’s strike, as both a concept and collective experience, may be transforming the boundaries of politics as we know it. At once a gripping political analysis and a theoretically charged manifesto, Feminist International draws on the author’s rich experience with radical movements to enter into ongoing debates in feminist and Marxist theory: from social reproduction and domestic work to the intertwining of financial and gender violence, as well as controversies surrounding the neo-extractivist model of development, the possibilities and limits of left populism, and the ever-vexed nexus of gender-race-class. Gago asks what another theory of power might look like, one premised on our desire to change everything.
First Published in 1965. This study deals with the history of political thought in Germany from 1789 to 1815. It is the story of a nation awaking from a long sleep, commencing to think for itself, to modernize its institutions, to formulate its ideas of the pattern of society and the duties of the State. Modern German literature begins with Klopstock and Lessing. German political thinking comes even later, for it is the child of the French Revolution.
