The country is now under the control of a military junta, with army chief Jorge Rafael Videla at the helm. With quiet support from the United States and tacit approval from much of Argentina's people, who are tired of constant bombings and gunfights, the junta swiftly launches the National Reorganization Process or \u003ci\u003eEl Proceso\u003c\/i\u003e--a bland name masking their ruthless campaign to crush the political left and instill the country with \"Western, Christian\" values.

A group of fierce grandmothers forms the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, dedicated to finding the stolen infants and seeking justice from a nation that betrayed them. At a time when speaking out could mean death, the Abuelas confront military officers and launch protests to reach international diplomats and journalists.

Pushed by the government to assimilate, they struggled to figure out their new, capitalist reality, discovering its wonders--cars, refrigerators, TV sets, phones--as well as a way to acquire them: by selling the natural riches of their own forest home.

It's a tragedy as old as the first European encounters with Indigenous people, playing out in the present day.

Bartolome de Las Casas, believed to have been born in 1484, immigrated to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean from Spain in 1502 with his father and was ordained as a priest in 1510. His work with the Church gave him a startling glimpse into the cruelty and inhumanity that the native peoples were subjected to by the powerful Spaniards. Bartolome de Las Casas was determined to advocate for these oppressed people and traveled back and forth between Spain and the New World several times to bring the plight of the indigenous peoples to the attention of the King. Bartolome de Las Casas documented the ravages of the disease and greed the Spanish brought with them across the sea. \"A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies\" is an important and remarkable work, as well as the earliest documentation of a concerted effort to advocate for better and more humane treatment of the native people of the New World.

Do dogs dream? In this astonishing book, Eduardo Kohn challenges the very foundations of anthropology, calling into question our central assumptions about what it means to be human--and thus distinct from all other life forms. Based on four years of fieldwork among the Runa of Ecuador's Upper Amazon, Eduardo Kohn draws on his rich ethnography to explore how Amazonians interact with the many creatures that inhabit one of the world's most complex ecosystems. Whether or not we recognize it, our anthropological tools hinge on those capacities that make us distinctly human. However, when we turn our ethnographic attention to how we relate to other kinds of beings, these tools (which have the effect of divorcing us from the rest of the world) break down. \u003ci\u003eHow Forests Think\u003c\/i\u003e seizes on this breakdown as an opportunity. Avoiding reductionistic solutions, and without losing sight of how our lives and those of others are caught up in the moral webs we humans spin, this book skillfully fashions new kinds of conceptual tools from the strange and unexpected properties of the living world itself. In this groundbreaking work, Kohn takes anthropology in a new and exciting direction-one that offers a more capacious way to think about the world we share with other kinds of beings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eduardo Kohn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520276116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEduardo Kohn is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at McGill University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Eduardo Kohn \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47351521771677,"sku":"9780520276116","price":71.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_a9864a81-003d-4a60-89fc-b4b3e566f13e.jpg?v=1761690530"},{"product_id":"killing-pablo-the-hunt-for-the-worlds-greatest-outlaw-9780802127730","title":"Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World's Greatest Outlaw","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A master of narrative journalism, [Bowden] employs the same techniques of reconstructing scenes and dialogue that made his bestselling \u003cem\u003eBlack Hawk Down\u003c\/em\u003e gripping reading.\" -Linda Robinson, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn July 22, 1992, drug lord Pablo Escobar walked out of the luxurious prison he built for himself and disappeared into the Colombian jungle.

After an introductory section that discusses the legacy of Spanish colonialism, Tinker Salas explores the \"The Era of the Gusher,\" a period which began with the discovery of oil in the early twentieth century, encompassed the mid-century development and nationalization of the industry, and ended with a change of government in 1989 in response to widespread protests. The third section provides a detailed discussion of Hugo Chavez-his rise to power, his domestic political and economic policies, and his high-profile forays into international relations-as well as surveying the current landscape of Venezuela in the wake of Chavez's death in March 2013. Arranged in a question-and-answer format that allows readers to search topics of particular interest, the book covers questions such as, who is Simón Bolívar and why is he called the George Washington of Latin America? How did the discovery of oil change Venezuela's relationship to the U.S.? What forces where behind the coups of 1992?

At first, this vision seemed to be within reach: the great conquistadors ruled as noblemen over millions. Yet contrary to all expectations, the Spanish empire in the New World quickly became a hotbed of radical efforts to overturn the emerging order. With the conquistadors in retreat, new enclaves controlled by powerful friars and native lords arose. But they too collapsed, again to the surprise of many. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra and Adrian Masters show, these social orders broke down thanks to the challenges mounted by countless individuals across the Spanish Americas--including non-elite Spanish and Indigenous people, women, and the enslaved. To achieve their goals, they turned not only to outright violence but also to massive amounts of paperwork: petitions, complaints, lawsuits, and secret testimonies. Through this grassroots \"lawfare,\" vassals undercut the emerging seigneurial dynasties of the conquistadors, stripped the friars of theocratic authority, and curtailed the might of native lords. Collectively, they spearheaded movements against tyranny and slavery, proposed and challenged laws, produced new types of knowledge, created archives and historical accounts, and questioned the nature of truth itself. In the process, however, these actors also gradually co-created a lasting new society of orders--one that would solidify in the 1570s with viceroys, bishops, and inquisitors at its apex. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDramatically recasting a pivotal era in colonial history, \u003ci\u003eThe Radical Spanish Empire\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates how the power of paperwork forever transformed the New World.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra,Adrian Masters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674986640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCañizares-Esguerra, Jorge:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra is Alice Drysdale Sheffield Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin.

The country is now under the control of a military junta, with army chief Jorge Rafael Videla at the helm. With quiet support from the United States and tacit approval from much of Argentina's people, who are tired of constant bombings and gunfights, the junta swiftly launches the National Reorganization Process or \u003ci\u003eEl Proceso\u003c\/i\u003e--a bland name masking their ruthless campaign to crush the political left and instill the country with \"Western, Christian\" values.

After giving birth in captivity, the women are \"disappeared,\" and their babies secretly given to other families--many of them headed by police or military officers. For mothers of pregnant daughters and daughters-in-law, the source of their grief is twofold--the disappearances of their children, and the theft of their grandchildren. A group of fierce grandmothers forms the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, dedicated to finding the stolen infants and seeking justice from a nation that betrayed them. At a time when speaking out could mean death, the Abuelas confront military officers and launch protests to reach international diplomats and journalists. They become detectives, adopting disguises to observe suspected grandchildren, and even work alongside a renowned American scientist to pioneer groundbreaking genetic tests. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Flower Traveled in My Blood \u003c\/i\u003eis the rarest of nonfiction that reads like a novel and puts your heart in your throat.

Delving into a past characterized by instability and a series of interrupted national projects, the contributors examine the legacies of Tupac Amaru's 1780s rebellion and the intense ideological debates between conservatives and liberals about the newly independent nation. They analyze the mid-nineteenth-century guano state, the catastrophic defeat in the War of the Pacific, and the establishment of an exclusionary oligarchic state--the \"Aristocratic Republic\"--based on a diverse export economy. Outlining Peru's twentieth-century transition from a rural, agrarian society to a primarily urban one, the contributors explore the 1968 coup and its unfulfilled promise of top-down social transformation, which was followed by years of democratic rule marked by internal armed conflict and economic mismanagement. This period culminated in the authoritarian neoliberal revolution of Alberto Fujimori, whose economic and political legacies in the new century resulted in a booming economy, now in abeyance, and a deeply dysfunctional democracy.

This has long been the dream of Latin American left-wing movements - many of which have ended in corruption, disaster and death. Lula has survived at least three curtain calls. Imprisoned for corruption in the notorious 'Car Wash' scandal, voted out, bullied and beaten, Lula continues to draw huge crowds of workers wherever he goes. He speaks of revolution and comes from the streets of São Paulo, and yet he is enmeshed in hidden bank accounts and lobbying scandals.

Las primeras semanas sobrevivieron con apenas dos cucharadas de atún cada 48 horas, soportando el calor endemoniado de una mina de cobre y oro que tras un derrumbe de rocas gigantes, los mantuvo soterrados 69 días, a casi 700 metros de profundidad. Pese a la gravedad de la tragedia, los 33 mineros de Atacama, consiguieron escapar de la muerte y hoy viven para contar sus historias. ?Estuve con Dios y estuve con el diablo. Se pelearon y ganó Dios, me agarré de la mejor mano?, relató el minero Mario Sepúlveda una vez rescatado, junto a sus 32 compañeros, desde las profundidades de la tierra. El periodista chileno Manuel Pino Toro acompañó de cerca el drama de estos trabajadores y sus familias, y participó de las vigilias eternas que se realizaron en el campamento ?Esperanza? instalado en la superficie de la mina San José. Manuel ha reunido testimonios claves de los propios mineros, ha entrevistado a decenas de personas y ahora presenta su obra VIVOS BAJO TIERRA. (Natalie Morales, corresponsal del programa TODAY Show): ?Es la historia que cautivó a millones de personas en todo el mundo, algunos dicen que hasta billones, que miraron cómo fueron saliendo cada unos de los 33 de las entrañas de la tierra. Lo que ocurrió a lo largo de esos 69 días fue retratado como una historia de unidad y valentía?la celebración de los héroes, los 33 mineros que sobrevivieron lo imposible al igual que los logros de toda una nación que trabajó al unísono para lograr el rescate más espectacular de todos los tiempo. Todos sabemos como terminó, por supuesto, pero eso no impide que tengamos curiosidad de saber qué sucedió exactamente con cada día que pasaba.  Cómo sobrevivieron esos primeros 17 días sin comunicación, sin comida y sin agua?  Quienes son los 33?  Qué se está guardando el gobierno chileno y por qué?  Hay algo en la historia de este rescate que no se haya contado? Es posible que nunca sepamos del todo lo que ocurrió en la mina San José en el desierto de Atacama, pero Vivos bajo tierra por el celebrado periodista chileno Manuel Pino Toro nos hace un recuento de cómo se desenvolvió la historia y cómo cada uno de esos 33 mineros jugó un papel fundamental en su supervivencia y su rescate. Afortunadamente yo también estaba entre los casi dos mil periodistas que estaban allí para presenciar aquel momento histórico porque de no haber sido así no sé si podría creer realmente lo que sucedió. Manuel Pino Toro relata cómo ocurrió el milagro y embarca al lector en un viaje de momentos tanto increíbles como dramáticos.

In \u003ci\u003eThings Are Never So Bad That They Can't Get Worse\u003c\/i\u003e, William Neuman provides a vivid, granular chronicle of that descent. Drawing on his experience as \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Andes Region Bureau Chief and years of reporting from Caracas, Neuman explores the interplay of charismatic populism, economic mismanagement, corruption, and the international forces that have shaped Venezuela's fate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book traces how once-abundant oil wealth became a source of distortion rather than development, how political power concentrated around Hugo Chávez and later Nicolás Maduro, and how everyday Venezuelans endured rolling blackouts, hyperinflation, shortages of food and medicine, and threats to personal safety. Neuman blends history, journalism, and personal narrative into a clear-eyed account of how a petro-rich nation imploded, displacing millions and disrupting the region. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWinner of Best Books of the Year from Foreign Affairs, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Overseas Press Club of America, the book's historical context provides readers indispensable insight into how decades of policy choices, institutional breakdown, and external pressures set the stage for the crises of today.
