"Opinion surveys conducted during the final year of the Proceso, Alfonsín's first year as president, and the later years of that administration allowed the author to chart changes in public attitude about democracy. Initial enthusiasm faded as socioeconomic problems mounted. The original pro-democratic consensus was as much a belief in democracy as a magical panacea as a reaction to the Proceso's horrors. By 1989 support for democracy mainly rested on a lack of consensus about an alternative"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57
Between 1960 and 1962, over 14,000 children were sent out of Cuba alone by desperate parents who feared for their children's future under Castro. The author, herself a Pedro Pan child, has recorded hundreds of their diverse stories and experiences from American foster homes and orphanages. These children share their feelings about this painful time in their lives. The book investigates the events and key figures surrounding the exodus, including the roles of the Catholic church and the State Department, and the extent of the CIA's involvement
"Analysis of the results of a late-1991 survey (i.e., after the Sandinista election loss) of 248 Protestants drawn from church-member lists in or near Managua. While the numbers from each denomination are thus small, ca. 30-60, the sheer variety of groups - Baptists, Assembly of God, Church of God, etc. - allows the author to make reasonable (if still tentative) assertions about the social and economic positions, political sympathies, and voting patterns of Protestants, which appear, not as monolithically conservative (although that tilt is clearly present), but as substantially varied in both their politics and social profiles"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57

"A good overview of the Peruvian military's strategic approaches to the conflict with Sendero Luminoso from the early 1980s until immediately after the capture of the movement's leader in 1992. Cites General Clemente Noel's highly unsuccessful campaign in Ayacucho in the mid-1980s as an example of the army's early and unrealistic attempt to adopt a modification of the failed 'strategic hamlet' approach used by the US in Vietnam. Only after nearly a decade did the armed forces adopt a somewhat standardized 'counter-subversive campaign.' A close examination of government documents allows the author to competently discuss the critical role of the intelligence service in defeating Sendero Luminoso. Lacks thorough consideration of the role of the rural-based Rondas Campesinas"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58
Was Lola Mora the only active artist between 1890 and 1920? Judging by the repercussion of his work, one might think so. Or was it just the most visible emergent of a forgotten creative group: that of the female artists of that period? Georgina Gluzman presents in this book the work of other female artists in the city of Buenos Aires during those years. This is a large group whose importance has been overlooked: Maria Obligado de Soto y Calvo, Sofía Posadas, Eugenia Belin Sarmiento, Ana Weiss de Rossi, Lía Correa Morales, among many others. In addition to focusing on a group of figures and works, the author analyzes issues such as the artistic education of women, the representation of artists in the press and the relationships between women's movements and arts, thus mapping a complex map of trajectories, productions and practices marginalized by traditional studies
María L. Pérez Bernardo provides a comprehensive introduction to the journalism of Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921), one of the most remarkable Spanish intellectuals of the nineteenth century. The book is divided into six chapters, followed by a collection of Emilia's journalistic articles. This book contains detailed information of her biography, her role as a journalist and influences as a literary author. The primary topics of her articles reflect on feminism and women's suffrages and religion at the turn of the 19th century. Bazan's well-crafted depictions of 19th- and early 20th-century society reflects and examines a wide spectrum of social classes and social conflicts in both urban and rural of Spain which caused the rise of crime in society. In retrospect of political writings she expresses her opinion about the Spanish government foreign policy including the 1898 War between Spain and the United States
The fundamental problem that Paraguay faces is not a question of old or new course, nor is it a question of "left" or "right." The problem is more serious and structural, since Paraguay post stronista, from 1989 until today, lacks "north," objectives, goals and mechanisms duly agreed, without which the country will be trapped for a longer time in the appalling situation In which it is. The writer and journalist explains that Paraguay has not have any direction since the fall of Alfredo Stroessner. It is so in the first part the author exposes what was the government under the control of the Colorado Party, from Alfredo Stroessner to Nicanor Duarte Frutos and how the Fernando Lugo project is managed. In the second and third parts of the book a detailed analysis of the governments of the democratic era is made, with emphasis on the governments of Fernando Lugo, Federico Franco and Horacio Cartes. And it ends with a deep reflection on the presidential succession of 2018 and the theme of presidential re-election

This research aims to analyze how the access to primary goods impacts on the quality of life of the inhabitants of a city; taking as a case study the city of Bogotá D.C., and employing the method of Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) designed by Sabina Alkire and Maria Emma Santos (Oxford, July 2010), which was adapted for Colombia by the National Department of Planning as a methodology. The research text is quantitative and was elaborated using secondary data from the MPI, developed by the National Planning Department (DNP) for the city of Bogotá, in 2003, 2007 and 2011. Additionally, the author used other sources, which complemented the information. The results found that Bogota, in particular since the second half of the 20th century, underwent the promotion and development of a series of public politics by the local government aimed at ensuring access to all residents to a series of basic goods, which allowed a gradual improvement in the quality of life of all citizens. However, the research also showed, that there is still a high accumulation of wealth
The collected letters of Francisco Martinez Negrete Alba are a volume that reunites 319 letters and notes plus three short notes that are written one page in length. Gladys Lizama Silva presents in this book a revision, an analysis, and an interpretation of the written letters sent to children, sisters, nephews, godchildren, friends, fellow businessmen, and acquaintances throughout the course of 17 months from May 1903 to October 1904. The author of this profuse correspondence was a most relevant businessman that supported Porfirio Diaz in Guadalajara, Jalisco, but the correspondence was written after he ruined and lost his economic assets. After finding out about the world of relationships that this businessman had for about two years, it was resorted to the model of social networks because it is an analytical instrument that allows the methodology to be seen as well as the strong-knit social networks constructed by the individual throughout his life. Those networks were useful through the business failure, not only for him but mostly for his political family and kindred. Also, they helped to show the capacity of how bonds within family, friend, and business networks helped with solutions day by day. --Book Jacket
This book studies the period of the Chilean political graphic art (posters, public art). The author inquires into the unexplored area between the "golden age" of the political poster during the Popular Unity and the poster produced after the 1973 coup d'état in exile. And it does so by taking the experience of two graphic collectives that until now had been left in darkness: the Association of Young Plastics APJ (1979-1987) and Tallersol (1977). In this sense, this book does more than fill a void, for "filling" already announces a fiction of totality; As we know, a field of knowledge is never completely saturated: there is always emptiness and there is full, and such dynamics is what produces possibility and future. This is well known by Nicole Cristi and Javiera Manzi, the authors of this book, who have the audacity to construct with rigor and passion a story that places and restores the artistic-political itinerary of two essential collectives of graphic action of the dictatorial period, In turn, are the tip of a much wider skein of coordinations, groupings and experiences still very little explored by historiography and local criticism. A plot of which the posters shown here - almost for the first time - are a historical and technical mark. So, this book does not come to fill, but to reopen the discussion about graph and politics, a book that also has the generosity to leave offered multiple edges to explore on the field of cultural resistance to the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet
