Sinopsis del Libro

Libro 500 Años de la Mujer Chicana

Named the 2009 AAUP Best of the Best - Outstanding Book Distinction The history of Mexican Americans spans more than five centuries and varies from region to region across the United States. Yet most of our history books devote at most a chapter to Chicano history, with even less attention to the story of Chicanas. 500 Years of Chicana Women's History offers a powerful antidote to this omission with a vivid, pictorial account of struggle and survival, resilience and achievement, discrimination and identity. The bilingual text, along with hundreds of photos and other images, ranges from female-centered stories of pre-Columbian Mexico to profiles of contemporary social justice activists, labor leaders, youth organizers, artists, and environmentalists, among others. With a distinguished, seventeen-member advisory board, the book presents a remarkable combination of scholarship and youthful appeal. In the section on jobs held by Mexicanas under U.S. rule in the 1800s, for example, readers learn about flamboyant Doña Tules, who owned a popular gambling saloon in Santa Fe, and Eulalia Arrilla de Pérez, a respected curandera (healer) in the San Diego area. Also covered are the "repatriation" campaigns" of the Midwest during the Depression that deported both adults and children, 75 percent of whom were U.S.-born and knew nothing of Mexico. Other stories include those of the garment, laundry, and cannery worker strikes, told from the perspective of Chicanas on the ground. From the women who fought and died in the Mexican Revolution to those marching with their young children today for immigrant rights, every story draws inspiration. Like the editor's previous book, 500 Years of Chicano History (still in print after 30 years), this thoroughly enriching view of Chicana women's history promises to become a classic.

Imperios y bárbaros

Libro Imperios y bárbaros

" Edad oscura" es el nombre que tradicionalmente se ha venido dando al periodo comprendido entre las grandes invasiones germánicas y la eclosión del Imperio carolingio, un tiempo que supuso la transformación definitiva del mundo antiguo y el alumbramiento del Medievo. Y aunque las nuevas corrientes historiográficas han cuestionado ese adjetivo, no parece baladí cuando comprobamos una característica esencial del periodo: la ubicuidad de la guerra. Los conflictos bélicos, ya fueran de carácter casi mundial porque enfrentaban a los grandes imperios, o de carácter local, fueron continuos ...
