DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party (PNPR) understood that to successfully establish an independent nation it needed to generate solidarity across the Americas with its struggle against US colonial rule. It invested significant energy, personnel, and resources in attending regional conferences, distributing its literature throughout the hemisphere, creating solidarity committees, presenting its case to elected officials and the general public, and promoting the causes of oppressed peoples. The hemispheric outpourings of solidarity with Puerto Rican independence have been obscured by larger, later liberation movements as well as the anticolonial party's ultimate failure to achieve independence. However, as this book shows, they were nonetheless central to anti-imperialists, nationalists, and revolutionaries from New York City to Buenos Aires. Margaret M. Power's new history of the PNPR focuses on how it built a broad movement with active networks in virtually all of Latin America, much of the Caribbean, and New York City. This hemispheric view introduces a sprawling transnational network, nurtured by the PNPR from its founding in 1922 through its military actions of the 1950s and beyond that included individuals, parties, organizations, and governments throughout the Americas, and it resituates the Puerto Rican nationalist movement as a transnational revolutionary influence and force.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Para sus seguidores y el sistema político, Vicente Lombardo Toledano es un héroe... Pero la realidad es más compleja. Fundador de numerosos sindicatos en México y en América Latina, Lombardo Toledano no sólo fue un organizador sino un negociador que destrababa conflictos imposibles. Fue un creyente en el orden, decidido a mantener la estabilidad del país y de la región a toda costa. Un operador del gobierno mexicano y, cuando lo creía oportuno, de las naciones vecinas y de la Unión Soviética. Un hombre identificado como comunista que, sin embargo, jamás perteneció a ese partido, y que fue vinculado con el PRI, del que no era miembro sino comparsa. Con una vida apasionante, fundó trascendentales instituciones como la CTM y la Confederación de Trabajadores de América Latina, que construyó como organizaciones sindicales así como mecanismos de negociación, cuando sus normas le estorbaban. En una biografía rigurosa y fluida, Daniela Spenser relata la vida de Lombardo Toledano, un hombre que refleja la complejidad del México posrevolucionario, tanto la esperanza que despertó como los proyectos fallidos que dejó.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Sánchez and Sanchez have selected, edited, translated, and introduced some of the most influential texts in Mexican philosophy, which constitute a unique and robust tradition that will challenge and complicate traditional conceptions of philosophy. The texts collected here are organized chronologically and represent a period of Mexican thought and culture that emerged from the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and which culminated in la filosofía de lo mexicano (the philosophy of Mexicanness). Though the selections reflect on a variety of philosophical questions, collectively they represent a growing tendency to take seriously the question of Mexican national identity as a philosophical question--especially given the complexities of Mexico's indigenous and European ancestries, a history of colonialism, and a growing dependency on foreign money and culture. More than an attempt to describe the national character, however, the texts gathered here represent an optimistic period in Mexican philosophy that aimed to affirm Mexican culture and philosophy as a valuable, if not urgent, contribution to universal culture.
