Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Reform and Its Complexities in Modern Britain

The essays in this volume, taken together, span the era of British history from 1780 to the present that has engrossed the attention of Brian Harrison in a career of more than fifty years. In keeping with his diverse interests, they vary widely in subject matter. Yet each contributes, in some fashion, to an appreciation of the complexities of reform in modern Britain. Throughout his career Harrison has demonstrated an unwavering interest in social movements and pressure groups. He has analysed the organisation of reform movements and their bases of support; explored the aspirations and beliefs motivating individuals to start or join such movements; and examined the ideas and ideals shaping their conception of human improvement. No one has done more to show that the significance of a reform movement's triumphs and disappointments can be grasped only in relation to the forces amassed to resist its claims. The essays gathered here, on the Harrisonian theme of reform and its complexities, form an acknowledgment of the massive mark their honouree has made on the study of modern British history. They are preceded by a Foreword composed by Keith Thomas and an editorial Introduction tracing the course of Harrison's scholarship and connecting that scholarship to the substance of the essays. The volume encompasses both wide-ranging analytical investigations and telling case studies. All have new things to say on the subject of reform and its complexities in modern Britain.

As the dignitary rose in rank, he acquired the rights to more and larger areas of real estate. Theoretically, nobody was the owner of the land. The land belonged to the collective owner, calpulli, to public institutions such as temples, or to the city itself. There was no private ownership of the land, there was collective ownership with individual right of use.

Los indios de Norteamérica

Libro Los indios de Norteamérica

Las sociedades indias, vistas durante mucho tiempo a través del prisma deformante de la literatura y el cine, siguen siendo el mejor ejemplo de la destrucción por parte del Occidente de culturas tradicionales. En lo sucesivo, los estereotipos tienden a desvanecerse a la luz de los trabajos históricos y antropológicos, como los de Philippe Jacquin: la identidad de los indios puede afirmarse con la reapropiación de su historia.

Libro Operación Estrella

Esta obra es de mucha importancia para comprender y entender lo sucedido en un momento histórico clave del pueblo cubano. Una obra testimonial que revive una época en que las ilusiones del pueblo estaban en juego y eran consideradas una real opción de sacrificio. Es un libro que funciona como una denuncia explícita de quienes por muchos años han prohibido la salida de las personas desde Cuba en forma libre y digna. Un sistema que oculta muy bien sus garras y sus tentáculos a la hora de otorgar esas libertades y que no da explicaciones más que justificando su utopía revolucionaria. Un...
