The Sorrows of Mexico
With contributions from seven of Mexico's finest journalists, this is reportage at its bravest and most necessary - it has the power to change the world's view of their country, and by the force of its truth, to start to heal the country's many sorrows. Supported the Arts Council Grant's for the Arts Programme and by PEN Promotes Veering between carnival and apocalypse, Mexico has in the last ten years become the epicentre of the international drug trade. The so-called "war on drugs" has been a brutal and chaotic failure (more than 160,000 lives have been lost). The drug cartels and the forces of law and order are often in collusion, corruption is everywhere. Life is cheap and inconvenient p...
Problemas actuales del sistema integral de derecho penal
El fenómeno de la corrupción adquiere cada vez mayor relevancia en las políticas transnacionales de lucha contra el delito. Para abordarlo, no es suficiente conocer los conceptos, las categorías dogmáticas y los delitos sobre el particular; antes bien, es necesario reconocerlo como un fenómeno complejo, multidimensional y en permanente transformación. La corrupción hoy en día forma parte del complejo fenómeno criminal vinculado a las redes trasnacionales de criminalidad, pues son los delincuentes de cuello blanco los que conforman el capital social de esas organizaciones criminales. Entre políticos, partidos políticos, empresarios, comerciantes, banqueros, funcionarios públicos,...
Female Entrepreneurs in the Long Nineteenth Century
"This volume challenges those who see gender inequalities invariably defining and constraining the lives of women. But it also broadens the conversation about the degree to which business is a gender-blind institution, owned and managed by entrepreneurs whose gender identities shape and reflect economic and cultural change." – Mary A. Yeager, Professor Emerita, University of California, Los Angeles This is the first book to consider nineteenth-century businesswomen from a global perspective, moving beyond European and trans-Atlantic frameworks to include many other corners of the world. The women in these pages, who made money and business decisions for themselves rather than as employees,...
Medios, redes sociales, cine, control social y penal
En las sociedades contemporáneas, las formas de comunicación, socialización e información cambian constantemente e influyen en los procesos de construcción social de la realidad. Los medios de comunicación, las redes sociales y los procesos de difusión masiva imponen concepciones sobre el bien y el mal, la seguridad, la ética, el delito y el delincuente, y además transforman la relación entre la criminología, la justicia y la política criminal; de este modo, generan procesos de control y reacción social mediados por los usuarios de estas fuentes, que tienen consecuencias reales sobre la comprensión de la cuestión criminal. Esta obra desarrolla los problemas derivados de esa co...

Fresh Banana Leaves
An Indigenous environmental scientist breaks down why western conservationism isn't working--and offers Indigenous models informed by case studies, personal stories, and family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land protectors. Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most affected by climate devastation, Indigenous science is nowhere to be found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. And while holistic land, water, and forest management practices born from millennia of Indigenous knowledge systems have much to teach all of us, Indigenous science has long been ignored, otherized, or perceived as "soft"--the product of a system...
Decolonial Feminism in Abya Yala
This is a collection of eleven chapters and an introduction that develop key arguments in decolonial feminism, particularly, the coloniality of gender, the critique of white and Eurocentric feminisms, the imbrication between gender, race, and colonialism, feminicides, and the coloniality of democracy and public institutions. The introduction addresses the path of decolonial feminism: from a new approach to understanding the relationship between gender as a category, race, and colonialism that combined U.S. Third World feminism and scholarship on coloniality and decoloniality to its exponential growth in the hands of activists and engaged scholars from Latin America and the Caribbean. Today, much of the literature on decolonial feminism in Latin America and the Caribbean remains unknown in the U.S. This anthology seeks to start remedying this problem with seven translations of work originally written in Spanish, and three essays originally written in English that address the fundamental concepts of decolonial feminism as well as its contributions to important contemporary political and intellectual debates.
Cuba’s Wild East
Cuba’s Wild East: A Literary Geography of Oriente recounts a literary history of modern Cuba that has four distinctive and interrelated characteristics. Oriented to the east of the island, it looks aslant at a Cuban national literature that has sometimes been indistinguishable from a history of Havana. Given the insurgent and revolutionary history of that eastern region, it recounts stories of rebellion, heroism, and sacrifice. Intimately related to places and sites which now belong to a national pantheon, its corpus—while including fiction and poetry—is frequently written as memoir and testimony. As a region of encounter, that corpus is itself resolutely mixed, featuring a significant proportion of writings by US journalists and novelists as well as by Cuban writers.
