Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Raza sí!, guerra no!

"A fascinating and beautifully argued interpretation of how the American war in Southeast Asia affected Chicano communities. The author provides the most complete and well-documented study to date of this important chapter in U.S. history and its impact on an ethnic group with long-standing traditions of military service, assimilation, and resistance to injustice. Oropeza's book is what students of the Chicano Movement, especially the Mexican American role in antiwar activities during the Vietnam War period, have been waiting for."—George Mariscal, author of Aztlán and Viet Nam: Chicano and Chicana Experiences of the War "¡Raza Sí! ¡Guerra No! is a superb first book. Maintaining a balance between national context and the activism in the every day, Lorena Oropeza seeks to understand and contextualize antiwar activism among a generation of Mexican American youth. Bolstered with an array of archival sources and oral interviews, she carefully delineates the nature of political organizing among Mexican Americans across the Southwest. To her credit, Oropeza avoids a narrative of solidarity as she interrogates the internal messiness and contradictions of movement politics and the result is a finely nuanced interpretation of Chicano youth rebellion, one rooted firmly in ‘the politics of confrontation.’ I highly recommend it!"—Vicki L. Ruiz, University of California, Irvine "With this important study, Lorena Oropeza grapples with some of the central questions in the history of ethnic Mexicans in the United States. Although the central thrust of the work is an exploration of the evolution, political trajectory, and eventual implosion of the Chicano mobilization against war in Viet Nam, the study is ultimately a meditation on much larger questions involving Mexican American's political and cultural orientations, loyalties, and sense of status and place in American society. In these unsettled times, Oropeza's analysis of the relationship between war, citizenship, and masculinity should also contribute a much-needed reassessment of these important issues in contemporary American and Mexican life."—David G. Gutiérrez, author of Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the Politics of Ethnicity

La belle époque chilena

Libro La belle époque chilena

Este ensayo indaga en profundidad y documentadamente en los valores y las formas de sociabilidad de la élite chilena en su época de apogeo oligárquico: las décadas en torno al Centenario. En esos años marcados por el contraste entre la opulencia de esa minoría y la miseria mayoritaria, explora los ámbitos en donde se fraguaba el poder nacional y se redefinía la articulación entre tradición y modernidad. Con el talento narrativo que imprime a toda su obra, el historiador Manuel Vicuña penetra en el mundo íntimo de la sociedad aristocrática, exponiendo el significado político de...

Cruzadas/ Cruzades

Libro Cruzadas/ Cruzades

El 27 de noviembre de 1095, en Clermont, el papa Urbano II lanzó un vibrante llamamiento a la cristiandad: había que liberar Jerusalén y los Santos Lugares de la tutela de los musulmanes. A partir de entonces y hasta mediados del siglo XIII las cruzadas se sucedieron, saldándose la última de ellas con la muerte de san Luis. En realidad, las cosas no son tan sencillas: Para empezar, Urbano II nunca empleó el término cruzada. Y durante toda la Edad Media se produjeron movimientos colectivos, peregrinaciones exaltadas y guerras santas que hacen muy difícil delimitar este concepto, que...
