Don Eugenio Garza Sada. Ideas, acción, legado
“Una enseñanza maravillosa para cualquiera que aspire a ser emprendedor. Este es un libro de la historia de un hombre que supo superar los problemas de su época”. -Fernando Elizondo Barragán “Las páginas de este libro nos muestran las distintas facetas de un hombre que fue capaz de transformar vidas, empresas, instituciones e influir en la vida de su comunidad y país”. -Juan Gerardo Garza Treviño “Don Eugenio Garza Sada fue un humanista, pero no en el sentido de los libros, por las letras clásicas o por la pintura, es humanista en el sentido pleno del tiempo, le interesaba el Hombre. La diferencia entre Garza Sada y los políticos es que él era un hombre de gestión y de pocas palabras, y la mayoría de los políticos son de muchas palabras y de poca acción”. -Javier Garciadiego Dantán
Gabriel García Moreno and Conservative State Formation in the Andes
This book explores the life and times of Ecuador's most controversial politician within the broader context of the new political history, addressing five major themes of nineteenth-century Latin American history: the creation of political networks, the divisiveness of regionalism, the bitterness of the liberal-conservative ideological divide, the complicating problem of caudillismo, and the quest for progress and modernization. Two myths traditionally associated with García Moreno's rule are debunked. The first is that he created a theocracy in Ecuador. Instead, the book argues that he negotiated a concordat with the Papacy giving the national government control over the church's secular re...

Permitted Outsiders
National majorities and their governments often demand that immigrants and other minorities must be “good”: they should work hard, contribute to society, and adapt to dominant cultural norms. Such stereotypical labels for national outsiders, ranging from “good immigrants” to “good Muslims” and “model minorities”, imply that their inclusion and recognition becomes conditional on fulfilling certain standards of behaviour and identity that are predetermined by the national majority. The affected minorities respond in diverse ways, at times striving to be recognised as “good” and at times rejecting these regimes of conditional inclusion and citizenship openly. This book offer...
Race, Class, and Nationalism in the Twenty-First-Century Caribbean
This collection of more than a dozen essays focuses on the political dynamics of race, class, and nationalism in the contemporary Caribbean. Despite the plethora of studies on nationalism in the Caribbean, few have attempted to look at the phenomenon as a political invention that does not—and cannot—serve the interests of all: how essentialist, reductive, overdetermining nationalism is a political and conceptual confusion that forever stalls the project of universal human emancipation. Editors Scott Timcke and Shelene Gomes gather and frame chapters that, in their collective expression, help trace the process of race, class, and nationalism through the contours of a broader political, economic, and social geography. These chapters argue that notions of racial identity have changed over time, but those reformations are not independent of class rule or nationalism. By using several case studies that span the Anglo, Dutch, French, and Spanish Caribbean and focus on the development of political organizations, hardships, and ideology, each of these essays continues the struggle for liberation against elite entrenchment.
