Historical Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Archaeology in the Iberian Peninsula
Research on historical earthquakes and tsunamis in the Iberian Peninsula has made great strides in recent years, from diverse scientific fields ranging from geology to archaeology. In addition to the famous earthquake and tsunami of 1755, which intensely affected the peninsula, researchers are conducting a growing number of surveys and case studies on seismic episodes and extreme wave events of possible tsunamigenic origin in Portugal and Spain during the ancient, medieval, and modern eras. However, the development of these studies has suffered due to a certain lack of communication among the different fields of research, which are focused on their own methodologies and interests. The aim of this book is to promote interdisciplinary dialogue by linking the results of the most recent research into historical earthquakes and tsunamis in Iberia from the fields of geology, history and archaeology. The volume, which devotes special attention to tsunamis and to events that occurred in the Iberian Peninsula before 1755, offers synthetic insights, updates, and case studies of maximum interest for knowledge of the historical seismology of Portugal and Spain.

Captives and Cousins
This sweeping, richly evocative study examines the origins and legacies of a flourishing captive exchange economy within and among native American and Euramerican communities throughout the Southwest Borderlands from the Spanish colonial era to the end of the nineteenth century. Indigenous and colonial traditions of capture, servitude, and kinship met and meshed in the borderlands, forming a "slave system" in which victims symbolized social wealth, performed services for their masters, and produced material goods under the threat of violence. Slave and livestock raiding and trading among Apaches, Comanches, Kiowas, Navajos, Utes, and Spaniards provided labor resources, redistributed wealth, ...
Hablar a los ojos
En un periodo (1836-1918) decisivo para la consolidación del liberalismo en España, la formación de la opinión pública y la modernización de las técnicas y medios de difusión de la imprenta, las caricaturas ofrecieron un retrato mordaz de la actualidad. La imagen simbólica y deformada de los actores e hitos de la esfera política las ha convertido en testimonio privilegiado de la sociedad española y las preocupaciones propias de cada momento histórico. Este libro desentraña los mecanismos y la estética de la caricatura española, sus autores y plataformas de circulación, en especial la prensa satírica ilustrada, tanto nacional como regional y ultramarina. Durante la Revolución francesa, se dijo, en son de crítica, que las caricaturas anticlericales hablaban a los ojos, ¿qué mejor metáfora para definir la forma y la fuerza de la caricatura?
Our Hidden Conversations
Peabody Award–winning journalist Michele Norris offers a transformative dialogue on race and identity in America, unearthed through her decade-long work at The Race Card Project. The prompt seemed simple: Race. Your Thoughts. Six Words. Please Send. The answers, though, have been challenging and complicated. In the twelve years since award-winning journalist Michele Norris first posed that question, over half a million people have submitted their stories to The Race Card Project inbox. The stories are shocking in their depth and candor, spanning the full spectrum of race, ethnicity, identity, and class. Even at just six words, the micro-essays can pack quite a punch, revealing, fear, pain,...
Camino del Sol
Since 1994, the Camino del Sol series has been one of the premier vehicles for Latina/o literary voices. Launched under the auspices of Chicana/o luminary Ray Gonzalez, it quickly established itself in both the Latina/o community and the publishing world as it garnered awards for its outstanding writing. Featuring both established writers and first-time authors, Camino del Sol has published poetry and prose that convey something about the Latina/o experience—works that tap into universal truths through a distinct cultural lens. This volume celebrates fifteen years of books by bringing together some of the series’ best work, such as poetry from Francisco X. Alarcón, fiction from Christin...
Mujeres dibujantes del cómic español en los años del boom (1975-1992)
Las trayectorias y producciones de las mujeres artistas tanto dentro como fuera del cómic han sido sistemáticamente ignoradas. Este libro las rescata de la invisibilidad mediante un estudio en profundidad de aquellas que formaron la primera ola de mujeres dibujantes del boom del cómic adulto español (1975-1992), recordando para ello a quienes las precedieron y ofreciendo un análisis condensado de quienes las sucedieron.
