ISBN: 9780813044354 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Behind the plan of exterminating those innocent men whose only sin was to have supported the legitimate president of Chile, behind the plan of sequestering their bodies so that no one could find their remains, there was the presumption that the desert would be a place of silence, that the desert was too vast and forbidding to ever yield its secrets. There was the certainty that the desert would be barren, quiet, as dead as the men who had been murdered. Those who committed these crimes were wrong. from the afterword by Ariel DorfmanOn September 11, 1973, with the backing of the...

As middle classes in developing countries grow in size and political power, do they foster stable democracies and prosperous, innovative economies? Or do they encourage crass materialism, bureaucratic corruption, unrealistic social demands, and ideological polarization? These questions have taken on a new urgency in recent years but they are not new, having first appeared in the mid twentieth century in debates about Latin America. At a moment when exploding middle classes in the global South increasingly capture the world's attention, these Latin American classics are ripe for revisiting....

ISBN: 9781479244966 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. En el texto Cuando ni la sangre pesa, Mario Mendez nos pasea por una galeria de personajes siniestros, bien definidos, todos sometidos a unas leyes, donde en unas ocasiones prima lo abyecto, y en otras lo absurdo. La ignorancia y las creencias dan muchos partos. Eso es lo que Mario, a mi juicio, ha querido presentarnos. Y los partos tienen dolores, sangre, llantos, sorpresas. En estos relatos, Mario Mendez, ha enfrentado el reto de meterse en una epoca y presentar sus personajes, con sus taras, y mostrar su ambiente, con su pestilencia. En el lector esta atraparlos y confraternizar con esos...

Cumbia!: Scenes of a Migrant Latin American Music Genre
ISBN: 9780822354147 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cumbia is a musical form that originated in northern Colombia and then spread throughout Latin America and wherever Latin Americans travel and settle. It has become one of the most popular musical genre in the Americas. Its popularity is largely due to its stylistic flexibility. Cumbia absorbs and mixes with the local musical styles it encounters. Known for its appeal to workers, the music takes on different styles and meanings from place to place, and even, as the contributors to this collection show, from person to person. Cumbia is a different music among the working classes of northern...

In the mid-nineteenth century, Cuba's infamous "coolie" trade brought well over 100,000 Chinese indentured laborers to its shores.
