Esta obra presenta una visión amplia y detallada, pero a la vez crítica y propositiva, sobre los retos que enfrenta el Estado colombiano ante la crisis humanitaria de sus centros carcelarios y penitenciarios. También destaca los esfuerzos de la Corte Constitucional para enfrentar ciertos problemas estructurales que han causado graves violaciones a los derechos fundamentales de miles de personas privadas de su libertad. Los textos aquí reunidos, escritos por diversos juristas latinoamericanos, proponen un viraje hacia un modelo integral de organización política, social y jurídica; resaltan las obligaciones de todo el sistema de Estado; y promueven la construcción de una política criminal de corte humanitario y garantista. De este modo, se ofrece una herramienta útil para la implementación de un modelo que disminuya las conductas criminales, que no impacte de forma negativa las condiciones de reclusión, y que reduzca el hacinamiento carcelario.
Reconociendo que los derechos esenciales del hombre no nacen del hecho de ser nacional de determinado Estado, sino que tienen como fundamento los atributos de la persona humana, razón por la cual justican una protección internacional, de naturaleza convencional coadyuvante o complementaria de la que ofrece el derecho interno de los Estados americanos.

With this masterful work, Louis A. Perez Jr. transforms the way we view Cuba and its relationship with the United States. On Becoming Cuban is a sweeping cultural history of the sustained encounter between the peoples of the two countries and of the ways that this encounter helped shape Cubans' identity, nationality, and sense of modernity from the early 1850s until the revolution of 1959. Using an enormous range of Cuban and U.S. sources--from archival records and oral interviews to popular magazines, novels, and motion pictures--Perez reveals a powerful web of everyday, bilateral connections between the United States and Cuba and shows how U.S. cultural forms had a critical influence on the development of Cubans' sense of themselves as a people and as a nation. He also articulates the cultural context for the revolution that erupted in Cuba in 1959. In the middle of the twentieth century, Perez argues, when economic hard times and political crises combined to make Cubans painfully aware that their American-influenced expectations of prosperity and modernity would not be realized, the stage was set for revolution.
