La Prehistoria de La Peninsula Iberica (Critica)
by Maria Cruz Fernandez Castro
Football is, in Pele's words, 'the beautiful game' . Eduardo Galeano has written a series of football epiphanies from the global history of football when the rays of light have glittered from the passion of the game. As world music is to two-dimensional Stock, Aitken and Waterman pop so Eduardo Galeano's football writing is to Motty's commentary. Galeano searches out the mystical and the bewitched, the romance and the emotional destitution of the greatest game in the 20th-century world...

by Antonio de Tova
Arequipa, Peru's second largest city, has the most intense regional culture in the central Andes. Arequipenos fiercely conceive of themselves as exceptional and distinctive, yet also broadly representative of the nation's overall hybrid nature-a blending of coast (modern, "white") and sierra (traditional, "indigenous").

At the same time, Professor Andrien explains how the indigenous peoples merged these changes with their own political, socio-economic, and religious traditions. In this way European and indigenous life ways became intertwi...
El titulo de este libro, La reinvencion de Latinoamerica, retoma la famosa tesis del historiador mexicano Edmundo O'Gorman (1958), segun la cual la idea de America era ya antes de su descubrimiento una prefiguracion fabulosa de la cultura europea, cuyo imaginaire se habia fomentado por la lectura de los clasicos de la filosofia natural y la firme creencia de Colon de descubrir la India.

"Erich Hackl's subjects are all actual events, fates and biographies. Often with considerable research and effort, he digs deep into the histories of people whose destiny very often have to do with Nazism and / or with Judaism. In his new collection of short [non-fiction] stories Three tearless histories, two of which are already published in Austria in newspapers and anthologies, Hackl tells of Jewish people and their destinies. [...] These stories get under one's skin." - Winfried Stanzick, To...

by de Henrique L
This book explores the ways in which the urban poor population of Brazil participates in social movements. This study focuses on their agency, analyzing the interactive relationship between the urban poor in collective actions and the structural change represented by the participatory administration, which primarily saw implementation and institutionalization in Brazil at the beginning of the 21st century. Ryohei Konta argues that, as the structure of the participatory administration is more act...
