Cerro Gordo

Sinopsis del Libro

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

Pensar América desde sus colonias

Con la colaboración de especialistas de diversas disciplinas, este libro propone pensar América centrando el análisis en textos e imágenes desconocidos o poco transitados por la crítica especializada. Los resultados obtenidos de las investigaciones que forman este volumen fortalecieron nuevamente la presunción de que lo que hoy "es" América, o como quiera llamársele, lo que hoy "somos", no puede entenderse sin la comprensión profunda de esta periodización aleatoria y coyuntural a la que nos referimos como época colonial.
