Book Description
Defending 'la patria,' or 'homeland,' is the historical mission claimed by Latin American armed forces. For la Patria is a comprehensive narrative history of the military's political role in Latin America in national defense and security. Latin American civil-military relations and the role of the armed forces in politics, like those of all modern nation-states, are framed by constitutional and legal norms specifying the formal relationships between the armed forces and the rest of society. In actuality, they are also the result of expectations, attitudes, values, and practices evolved over centuries-integral aspects of national political cultures. Military institutions in each Latin American nation have resulted from that country's own blend of local and imported influences, developing a distinctive pattern of civil-military relations as defender of the fatherland and guarantor of security and order. Written by Latin American specialist Brian Loveman, For la Patria includes tables, maps, photographs, and a glossary that will assist the student in better understanding the military's intervention in politics in Latin America. This new text will give students a thorough and accessible history of Latin American armed forces and their actions in Latin American politics from colonial times to the present.

Book Description
Asturias contemporánea (1808-1936), de David Ruiz, estudia sintéticamente ese amplio periodo histórico que va desde el fin del Antiguo Régimen, etapa en la que destaca la aportación asturiana a una revolución liberal fallida, hasta la profunda crisis social y política abre con la proclamación de la II República española, crisis que alcanzará en Asturias sus puntos álgidos con la Revolución de Octubre y el triunfo del Frente Popular. El autor se enfrenta con la historia del pasado asturiano y sitúa en el contexto de la historia española con la intención de que ambas puedan explicarse de manera mas convincente. Al sondear el pasado en busca de explicaciones que faciliten la correcta comprensión de la realidad presente, David Ruiz va analizando en qué medida la sociedad asturiana, inserta en el marco de un estado centralista, se ha planteado la solución que se fueron gestando a lo largo de los dos últimos siglos, problemas que, en algunos casos, siguen aún gravitando sobre la región asturiana. Una selección de documentos, un análisis del estado actual de las investigaciones sobre la historia regional y una serie de apéndices orientadores (bibliografía, cronología y gráficos) completan esta historia de la Asturias contemporánea con la que el autor estimular el conocimiento y el debate la historia de su región.
