The Presented Past
The Presented Past is concerned with the differences between the comparatively static, well-understood way in which the past is presented in schools, museums and at historic sites compared to the approaches currently being explored in contemporary archaeology. It challenges the all-too-frequent representation of the past as something finished, understood and objective, rather than something that is `constructed' and therefore open to co-existing interpretations and constant re-interpretation. Central to the book is the belief that the presentation of the past in school curricula and in museum and site interpretations will benefit from a greater use of non-documentary sources derived from archaeological study and oral histories. The book suggests that a view of the past incorporating a larger body of evidence and a wider variety of understanding will help to invigorate the way history is taught. The Presented Past will be of interest to teachers, archaeologists, cultural resource managers, in fact anyone who is concerned with how the past is presented.
Open Government and Targeted Transparency
Transparency and integrity are key factors in consolidating democratic governance and deepening the modernization of the state. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has been supporting country efforts to achieve open government, providing technical support and knowledge on transparency in the LAC region. With the support of the Norwegian government, the IDB created the Anticorruption Activities Trust Fund (AAF), aimed at strengthening the institutional capacity of the Bank's borrowing countries in their efforts to prevent and control corruption. After four years in operation, the fund has gained recognition, both inside and outside the Bank, as a source of innovation and best practices in terms of access to information and targeted transparency. This publication compiles some of the experiences and lessons learned from five different countries (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Guatemala), with direct support from the AAF.

Para el alma no hay éxodo
Una algarabía infernal despertó a Joaquín Vallejo mucho antes de que los gallos anunciaran el amanecer. Era un alboroto de hombres, perros y caballos que enredaba el sueño con la realidad porque brotaba de las grietas de su alma adormilada, de los laberintos somnolientos de su mente y del desorden en la plaza. Su padre le había dicho una y mil veces que, escuchara lo que escuchara, jamás debía asomarse a la ventana. Su advertencia tenía siempre los mismos argumentos: la historia de la mujer de Lot, cuya desobediencia la volvió sal; y el relato sobre la expulsión del paraíso de la primera pareja sobre la Tierra por comerse una prohibida y jugosa manzana
