Raza sí!, guerra no!

Sinopsis del Libro

"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

Los sucesos de Cuenca, ocurridos en julio de 1874

El día 12 de julio de 1874, a las 4 de la tarde, alrededor de ocho mil car listas se previenen en los pueblos de La Cierva y Pajarón para atacar la ciudad de Cuenca. Han sido rechazados por los turolenses y necesitan una victoria rápida que, con el menor riesgo posible, enardezca a sus tropas y colme sus arcas. De estos sucesos da cuenta en este libro Santiago López, un testigo presencial de tan dramáticos acontecimientos. El periodista con su relato nos abre la puerta a un pasado apasionante y desconocido.

Breve historia de la primera guerra mundial

En 1914 se estaba configurando un nuevo mundo y un nuevo tipo de guerra. Tras años de preparación, las potencias europeas movilizaban a sus enormes ejércitos, seguras de la victoria. Pero en realidad, se encaminaban hacia su propia destrucción. La primera guerra mundial resultó un conflicto desconcertante para sus protagonistas y lo sigue siendo en buena medida para los historiadores. Lo que debía ser un guerra con botines imperiales y enfrentamientos relámpago, se convirtió en una carnicería sin sentido, con millones de hombres exterminados mediante una atroz mecanización bélica....
