Un Pensamiento Cada Día
Author: Gustavo Le N.
Publisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 1463338708
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Un día, sin un pretendido vuelo de poeta sino más bien en humilde intento de planeo trovador, inicié este proyecto que llamé "Un pensamiento cada día", con la idea de registrar un borrador de reflexiones diarias. Sin pretender ser un conocedor he abordado diferentes temas y diferentes estructuras literarias tratando de experimentar en varias formas de escribir y decir cosas. El hecho de publicar inicialmente en un medio tan interactivo como lo es un Blog de Internet, me ha permitido entender que aún sin ser un escritor de profesión, existen lectores a quienes les gusta mi forma de escribir y buscan en mis textos, formas simples que expresen de alguna manera lo que ellos piensan y sienten. El haber alcanzado 215,000 accesos al Blog en poco menos de tres años ha sido un motivador clave para buscar otras formas de difusión como son el libro impreso y el formato digital.

Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
This collection presents a representative sample of the writings of three of the six Jesuits who were slain in El Salvador on November 16, 1989. Although little known in the United States, these men were significant scholars who possessed an original conception of the university. They affirmed in difficult circumstances, the pursuit and teaching of truth as a collaborative, collegial process that transcends international boundaries.

Abiayalan Pluriverses
Author: Gloria Chacón
Publisher: Amherst College Press
ISBN: 1943208743
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Abiayalan Pluriverses: Bridging Indigenous Studies and Hispanic Studies looks for pathways that better connect two often siloed disciplines. This edited collection brings together different disciplinary experiences and perspectives to this objective, weaving together researchers, artists, instructors, and authors who have found ways of bridging Indigenous and Hispanic studies through trans-Indigenous reading methods, intercultural dialogues, and reflections on translation and epistemology. Each chapter brings rich context that bears on some aspect of the Indigenous Americas and its crossroads with Hispanic studies, from Canada to Chile. Such a hemispheric and interdisciplinary approach offers innovative and significant means of challenging the coloniality of Hispanic studies.

Handbook of Caribbean Economies
Author: Robert Looney
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429555652
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 505
Book Description
This volume aims to illustrate the uniqueness of the economies of the countries and territories of the Caribbean as well as the similarities they share with other regions. While most countries in the region share many of the characteristics of middle-income countries, theirs is a matter of extremes. Their generally small size suggests a fragility not found elsewhere. While much of the world is beginning to feel some effects of climate change, the Caribbean is ground zero. These factors suggest a difficult road ahead, but the chapters presented in this volume aim to help to spur the search for creative solutions to the region’s problems. The chapters, written by expert contributors, examine the Caribbean economies from several perspectives. Many break new ground in questioning past policy mindsets, while developing new approaches to many of the traditional constraints limiting growth in the region. The volume is organized in four sections. Part I examines commonalities, including issues surrounding small economies, tourism, climate change and energy security. Part II looks at obstacles to sustained progress, for example debt, natural disasters and crime. In Part III chapters consider the specific role of external influences, including the USA and the European Union, the People's Republic of China, as well as regional co-operation. The volume concludes in Part IV with country case studies intended to provide a sense of the diversity that runs through the region.

Cuba
Author: Janette Habel
Publisher: Verso
ISBN: 9780860913085
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Revolutionary Cuba today faces challenges and perils greater than at any time since the defeat of the US-backed 'Bay of Pigs' invasion in 1961. The Soviet Union, Cuba's main ally, is both weakened and divided, the Sandinistas are now in opposition, and remaining Communist governments are everywhere in crisis. These developments have combined with Cuba's domestic problems to place the revolution under threat. In this thorough but critical study, Janette Habel shows that, despite great achievements in public health and education, a malaise has developed in Cuban society. Detailing the arbitrary limits set upon popular participation and the absence of a properly functioning socialist democracy, she reveals a dangerous ossification of Cuba's once innovative and radical order, and a growing alienation of youth. This scrupulous account of the perils facing the Cuban revolution never forgets the appalling external pressures under which this small state labours. But it insists that only a bold new policy of revolutionary democracy offers the prospect of conserving--and building upon--the gains of the revolution.

de la Escasez a la Abundancia
Author: Eric Rodríguez
Publisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 1463360843
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
"De la escasez a la abundancia" es un libro que contiene principios cuyo propósito es favorecer a la transformación de aquellos que entienden que tenemos la vida para evolucionar y desarrollarnos a través de las generaciones hacia la más clara expresión de una conciencia llena de luz. Los conceptos "escasez" y "abundancia" hacen referencia, en este libro, a dos polos opuestos que trazan el camino mediante el cual desarrollamos nuestra manera de pensar; partiendo de la escasez y avanzando hacia la abundancia. El modo de pensar determina la lógica que seguimos para decidir en la vida. Una transformación en la manera de pensar resultará en una operación lógica diferente para decidir y por lo tanto, una experiencia diferente al vivir. La hipótesis desarrollada en esta obra se basa en la propuesta de que, al igual que en el tablero de un auto o un avión, tenemos ciertos indicadores que nos muestran el progreso de nuestra transformación, la calidad de nuestros pensamientos se manifiesta en nuestra capacidad para administrar los recursos económicos, materiales y humanos, la calidad de nuestro estado emocional se manifiesta en la capacidad que tenemos de administrar el tiempo y la calidad de nuestras decisiones se manifiesta en la capacidad que tenemos de esforzarnos con buen ánimo hacia los más altos propósitos de la vida. Aún cuando se cita y se recurre a la sabiduría que hallamos en las escrituras bíblicas, éste no es un libro religioso sino un libro cuyo contenido realza ante todo LA VIDA.

Cuban Foreign Policy

ISBN: 1442270942
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This volume illustrates the sweeping changes in Cuban foreign policy under Raúl Castro. Leading scholars from around the world show how the significant shift in foreign policy direction that started in 1990 after the implosion of the Soviet Union has continued, in many ways taking totally unexpected paths—as is shown by the move toward the normalization of relations with Washington. Providing a systematic overview of Cuba’s relations with the United States, Latin America, Russia, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, this book will be invaluable for courses on contemporary Cuba.
