Latin American Literature at the Millennium
Latin American Literature at the Millennium studies canonical and peripheral literary texts that complicate links between locality and geographical place, revealing new configurations of the local.

Topofilia o la dimensión poética del habitar
Resumen: Se desarrolla una original tesis filosofica en torno a las implicaciones del modo heideggeriano de entender la afectividad para la comprensión de la manera efectiva en que el ser humano construye mundo sobre la base de su ser posibilidad. Se vincula no solo la relación del hombre con el mundo a partir de una especifica idea de lugar, sino sobretodo con la propia manera en que este se concibe a si mismo en tanto habitante.
Casa Pueblo
As a community-based organization in the mountains of south-central Puerto Rico, Casa Pueblo implements alternatives to extractive capitalism that do not rely on governments or distant non-profits. In this book, Alexis Massol-González, Casa Pueblo’s founder, reflects on its extraordinary forty-year history of experiments with community self-governance. Massol-González received the prestigious Goldman Prize (popularly known as the Green Nobel) for the organization’s initiatives to protect the environment, affirm cultural and human values, and create sustainable economic alternatives. This collective translation was undertaken in the spirit of the organization and offers a chronological account of Casa Pueblo’s evolution from a small group of concerned citizens to an internationally recognized model for activism.

Lugar y territorio
¿Cuál es el lugar del lugar en tiempos de globalización? ¿Cuál es el lugar del territorio en dichos tiempos? ¿Qué relación guarda el territorio de la ciudad con el lugar de la ciudadanía? Estas tres preguntas enmarcan e integran los distintos temas de los cuales se ocupa el autor de Lugar y territorio. A lo largo de esta obra hay una apuesta arriesgada por establecer propuestas concretas, mediante acciones sobre el territorio que aboguen, principalmente, por entender de una manera diferente la relación de los seres humanos consigo mismos, con su entorno y con el mundo en general. Entender las múltiples dimensiones del lugar que cobijan su hondo significado, resulta crucial para establecer la naturaleza y características de nuestra interacción, no sólo con espacios determinados, sino con el mundo en general. Para esto es fundamental la formulación de nuevos pactos sociales que desde la noción de topofilia, planteada por el autor, que pongan en ejercicio una nueva idea de territorialidad.
