La Segunda Guerra Mundial en el mar

Autor: Craig L. Symonds

Número de Páginas: 952

El relato de Symonds, que arranca con la Conferencia de Londres de 1930, muestra cómo todos los intentos de limitar el armamento naval acabaron siendo irrelevantes antes de que finalizara aquella década, al tiempo que en Europa estallaba un nuevo conflicto que enfrentó a las Armadas entre sí. La Segunda Guerra Mundial en el mar ofrece una perspectiva global, centrándose en las principales batallas y en las personalidades más destacadas, poniendo de manifiesto tanto su magnitud como sus interrelaciones: el ataque de un submarino alemán contra Scapa Flow y la batalla del Atlántico; el «milagro» de la evacuación de Dunkerque y las enconadas batallas por el control de los fiordos de Noruega; la Regia Marina de Mussolini y la hegemonía del Kidō Butai y del poderío naval japonés en el Pacífico; el ataque contra Pearl Harbor y posteriormente la batalla de Midway; las tribulaciones de la Armada Soviética y el hundimiento intencionado de la Flota francesa en Tolón en 1942; los desembarcos en el Norte de África y más tarde en Normandía. Y también están los destacados dirigentes navales: Roosevelt y Churchill, que se autoproclamaban «hombres de la Armada», Karl...

Anatomy of Rebellion

Autor: Claude Emerson Welch

Número de Páginas: 412

Anatomy of Rebellion provides an understanding of four rebellions that will make clear the factors that are crucial in the development of other rebellions. Seeking a political pattern in the process of rebellion, Claude Welch, Jr., has investigated four large-scale rural uprisings that came close to becoming revolutions: the Taiping rebellion in China 1850-64, the Telengana uprising in India of 1946-51, the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya of 1952-56, the Kwilu uprising in Zaire of 1963-65. Weaving the facts of these rebellions with theories about political violence, Welch follows the rebellions through the initial stages of discontent to the explosion of violence to the suppression of the uprisings. He then challenges explanations of political violence, both Marxist and non-Marxist, that other scholars have proposed. Rebellions have not been studied as thoroughly as the major successful revolutions, although the frequency of rebellions in the modern world is not likely to diminish. Rural dwellers’ discontents are still clashing with central governments’ ambitions; Anatomy of Rebellion clarifies how this volatile type of political violence occurs.

Raza sí!, guerra no!

Autor: Lorena Oropeza

Número de Páginas: 278

"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...

Amor Amicitiae

Autor: J. J. Mcevoy

Número de Páginas: 465

This volume honors the Rev. Professor James McEvoy on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. The theory of friendship, which has been one of McEvoy's major fields of research and publication, used to be at the heart of the philosophical project, and indissociable from it. For Socrates, philosophy was possible only as the pursuit of wisdom, virtue, and beauty in a community of friends engaged in an "erotic" quest for the good. The present volume wants to make a contribution to the recovery of the friendship theme in its central importance to philosophy. It contains eighteen contributions by colleagues and pupils of Professor McEvoy from three different continents, who approach the topics of friendship, love, and charity from a variety of different angles. Several contributions are devoted to the theory of friendship in ancient and medieval thought, including its Christian appropriation. Others analyze friendship in modern and contemporary philosophy, while two contributors introduce cross-cultural perspectives (Hinduism and traditional African thought). This volume will help to throw into higher relief the importance of the philosophy of friendship, as well as stimulating further...

Silence

Autor: P. Julissa Garcia

Número de Páginas: 138

SILENCE narrated the importance of paying attention to what we say, but not after having said it, but before. Of the maturity that each stage of our lives must include in the spiritual, work and behavioral spheres. It is the account of traveling through valleys of desolation and deserts caused by the lack of fear. In it, I leave the care of the expressions we use without taking into account the receiver we face and the wisdom we show when we are ready to hear rather than to speak when our words lack the components of love, patience, kindness, maturity, and many times truth. In addition and finally, it was my commitment marked by these lines that we learn to assume with due responsibility, authority and tolerance those assignments for which one day we prayed or that simply surprised us. Learning to say a lot and substantial in SILENCE at the right time and at the perfect time, letting God defend us from the timely response. Blessings, Julissa Garcia.

Siria en el torbellino

Autor: Conde, Gilberto

Número de Páginas: 636

Una parte muy importante de la población siria expresó voluntad y esperanzas de cambio a partir de marzo de 2011. Se desataron manifestaciones masivas, a las que los aparatos de seguridad del Estado respondieron con escaladas de represión. Buscando salvaguardar sus propios intereses, gobiernos y movimientos de diferentes países dieron su apoyo a las autoridades en unos casos y a los rebeldes en otros; la rebelión terminó por convertirse en una sublevación armada, a la que el régimen respondió con toda la violencia imaginable. Al cabo de un par de años, lo que había en Siria no era una simple guerra civil, sino un amasijo de devastadores conflictos bélicos con su estela de muerte, así como con millones de desplazados y refugiados. Esta obra reúne las investigaciones de un número importante de investigadores iberoamericanos especializados en el estudio del Medio Oriente que discuten, sin pretensión de unanimidad, muy diversos aspectos de estos acontecimientos.

Communal Feminisms

Autor: Gabriella Gutiérrez Y Muhs

Número de Páginas: 306

Communal Feminisms explores identity and exile from three different perspectives: theory, interviews, and imaginative literature. The first part of this book describes and defines exile within identity; the second part delivers ten interviews and examines the socio-historical construction of exile through feminine Chicano literature and Chilean literature created and circulated during the Pinochet regime; and the third part contains a collection of unpublished, original works from each author interviewed. Including the interviews and creative works in both English and Spanish, Dr. Gabriella Gutierrez y Muhs emphasizes the need to publish bilingual works, without alienating English readers. This uniquely crafted collection will appeal to scholars across disciplines.
