La violencia sexual en conflictos armados. Un arma de guerra fuera del control de la legalidad internacional
Desde el fin de la Guerra Fría, los conflictos armados, las guerras, ya no son iguales: la mayor parte de ellas son civiles, dentro de un mismo Estado, en contextos muy inestables y con trágicas consecuencias humanas. Las formas incluyen métodos donde la violación masiva de los Derechos Humanos es habitual, donde se recluta a niños y adolescentes, donde el miedo y el terror son estrategias en un concepto asimétrico de conflicto profundamente violento e ideologizado por razón de etnia, credo o control económico. La violencia sexual se emplea como táctica de guerra con el objeto de atacar a civiles, de manera deliberada, o como parte de una estrategia de ataque sistemático, generaliz...

Santeria
A guide to the history, beliefs, rituals, and culture of a religious tradition that, despite persecution, suppression, and its own secretive nature, has close to a million adherents in the United States alone. Santería is a religion with Afro-Cuban roots, rising out of the cultural clash between the Yoruba people of West Africa and the Spanish Catholics who brought them to the Americas as slaves. With the exile of thousands of Cubans after Castro's revolution in 1959, Santería came to the United States, where it is gradually coming to be recognized as a legitimate faith tradition, one about which most people in America's mainstream know very little. De La Torre explains the worldview, myths, rituals, and history of Santería, and discusses what role the religion typically plays in the life of its practitioners as well as the cultural influence it continues to exert in Latin American communities today.--From publisher description.
