En busca de un nuevo El Dorado
Author: David Khoudour-CastérasPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : es
Pages : 408
Book Description
El propósito de este libro es analizar los factores que han llevado a un éxodo masivo de colombianos y las implicaciones para la sociedad. Se trata de ver si los colombianos logran insertarse en el país de acogida y el tipo de vínculos que desarrollan con su patria. Además, pretende mostrar que pocas veces se cumplen las promesas suscitadas por un nuevo El Dorado, bien sea que este se busque en América del Norte, en Europa o en otras partes del mundo: después de las ilusiones viene el tiempo de las dudas y las decepciones. Por supuesto, historias de éxito también existen. Los cerebros fugados encuentran oportunidades que no tenían en Colombia; los trabajadores clandestinos saben que sus sacrificios significan mejor futuro para sus hijos; los asilados políticos hallan la paz y la libertad de expresión negadas en su tierra natal. Sin embargo ¿contribuye la diáspora al desarrollo socioeconómico? ¿O la emigración sólo constituye una válvula de escape que le permite al gobierno librarse de sus responsabilidades en materia de desempleo y pobreza? Para responder a estas preguntas, el libro está organizado en diez capítulos escritos por especialistas en el tema. Las problemáticas abordadas corresponden a diferentes disciplinas de las ciencias sociales: economía, sociología, antropología, derecho, entre otras. Pero todas apuntan a un solo objetivo: aportar elementos de comprensión al fenómeno migratorio colombiano.

Book Description
The Historical Dictionary of Latin American Literature and Theater provides users with an accessible single-volume reference tool covering Portuguese-speaking Brazil and the 16 Spanish-speaking countries of continental Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela). Entries for authors, ranging from the early colonial period to the present, give succinct biographical data and an account of the author's literary production, with particular attention to their most prominent works and where they belong in literary history. The introduction provides a review of Latin American literature and theater as a whole while separate dictionary entries for each country offer insight into the history of national literatures. Entries for literary terms, movements, and genres serve to complement these commentaries, and an extensive bibliography points the way for further reading. The comprehensive view and detailed information obtained from all these elements will make this book of use to the general-interest reader, Latin American studies students, and the academic specialist.
