Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Raza sí!, guerra no!

"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 result is a finely nuanced interpretation of Chicano youth rebellion, one rooted firmly in ‘the politics of confrontation.’ I highly recommend it!"—Vicki L. Ruiz, University of California, Irvine "With this important study, Lorena Oropeza grapples with some of the central questions in the history of ethnic Mexicans in the United States. Although the central thrust of the work is an exploration of the evolution, political trajectory, and eventual implosion of the Chicano mobilization against war in Viet Nam, the study is ultimately a meditation on much larger questions involving Mexican American's political and cultural orientations, loyalties, and sense of status and place in American society. In these unsettled times, Oropeza's analysis of the relationship between war, citizenship, and masculinity should also contribute a much-needed reassessment of these important issues in contemporary American and Mexican life."—David G. Gutiérrez, author of Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the Politics of Ethnicity

Octubre 2019

Libro Octubre 2019

El autor -premio Nacional de Historia- analiza el llamado estallido social chileno de octubre del 2019, no sólo como un estudio focalizado en lo inmediato o tratando de explicar sus causas contingentes, sino más bien entendiendo contextos sociales, económicos y políticos que están estrechamente ligados a los nuevos énfasis alcanzados por las transformaciones producidas a partir de la caída del muro de Berlín y el desplome del socialismo real; el triunfo del neoliberalismo y el libre mercado y los alcances, a todo nivel, de la nueva globalización.

España en cambio

Libro España en cambio

España pegó un salto desde una economía agraria a otra industrial y sobrellevó una revolución sociocultural en los años sesenta y principios de los setenta. Estos vertiginosos cambios son indispensables a la hora de explicar la extraordinaria longevidad de la Dictadura, la modélica transición a la democracia que siguió a la muerte de Franco en 1975 y la paz y prosperidad de la que ha disfrutado España desde entonces. El libro está compuesto por una serie de artículos, cada uno de ellos escrito por un prestigioso historiador, que abarcan temas tales como el turismo, el surgimiento...
