Exile From Argentina

A Jewish Family and the Military Dictatorship (1976-1983) 2nd Edition

By: Eduardo D. Faingold

Eduardo Faingold chronicles his family’s experiences before, during, and after the military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983). He uses his diaries, interviews in Latin America and Israel, documents and pictures given to him by his family and friends and studies the works of political scientists, historians and journalists. He begins with his family history from the time when his ancestors immigrated in the 19th century from Byelorussia and Bessarabia to Argentina as a part of the Baron de Hirsch’s emigrant wave that established farming villages in the provinces of Santa Fe and Buenos Aires. Then, using his family’s history as background, he discusses his life as an exile in Israel and Denmark from 1976 to 1979, his return to Argentina to comply with his military service in the Argentine Marine Infantry and his return to Israel in 1980. In a revealing preface to the second edition of Exile from Argentina, the author updates the family history and notes some important political events in Argentina and Israel in the 1980s and beyond that help contextualize the author’s experiences. Notably, as the author points out in this new preface to Exile from Argentina, by the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, all his siblings and their families, as well as his mother, the descendants of his ancestors who emigrated to Argentina from Byelorussia and Bessarabia at the turn of the 19th century to escape the violence of the Russian pogroms, are now scattered in five continents, living their lives in cultures as varied as those of the United States, Brazil, Israel, Norway, Sweden, and Australia. Finally, this new edition of Exile from Argentina features a trove of historical photos and documents of the author and his family which were not included in the first edition of the book.

Resisting Extortion

Resisting Extortion

By: Eduardo Moncada

Criminal extortion is an understudied, but widespread and severe problem in Latin America. In states that cannot or choose not to uphold the rule of law, victims are often seen as helpless in the face of powerful criminals. However, even under such difficult circumstances, victims resist criminal extortion in surprisingly different ways. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in violent localities in Colombia, El Salvador and Mexico, Moncada weaves together interviews, focus groups, and participatory drawing exercises to explain why victims pursue distinct strategies to resist criminal extortion. The analysis traces and compares processes that lead to individual acts of everyday resistance; sporadic killings by ad hoc groups of victims and police; institutionalized and sustained collective vigilantism; and coordination between victims and states to co-produce order in ways that both strengthen and undermine the rule of law. This book offers valuable new insights into the broader politics of crime and the state.

The Great American Biotic Interchange

A South American Perspective

By: Alberto Luis Cione,Germán Mariano Gasparini,Esteban Soibelzon,Leopoldo Héctor Soibelzon,Eduardo Pedro Tonni

South American ecosystems suffered one of the greatest biogeographical events, after the establishment of the Panamian land bridge, called the “Great American Biotic Interchange” (GABI). This refers to the exchange, in several phases, of land mammals between the Americas; this event started during the late Miocene with the appearance of the Holartic Procyonidae (Huayquerian Age) in South America and continues today. The major phases of mammalian dispersal occurred from the Latest Pliocene (Marplatan Age) to the Late Pleistocene (Lujanian Age). The most important and richest localities of Late Miocene-Holocene fossil vertebrates of South America are those of the Pampean region of Argentina. There are also several Late Miocene and Pliocene localities in western Argentina and Bolivia. Other important fossils have been collected in localities of Pleistocene age outside Argentina: Tarija (Bolivia), karstic caves of Lagoa Santa and the recently explored caves of Tocantins (Brasil), Talara (Perú), La Carolina (Ecuador), Muaco (Venezuela), and Cueva del Milodon (Chile), among others. The book discusses basic information for interpreting the GABI such as taxonomic composition (incorporating the latest revisions) at classical and new localities for each stage addressing climate, environments, and time boundaries for each stage. It includes the chronology and dynamics of the GABI, the integration of South American mammalian faunas through time, the Quaternary mammalian extinctions and the composition of recent mammalian fauna of the continent.

Language Rights and the Law in the European Union

By: Eduardo D. Faingold

This book examines the language policies relating to linguistic rights in European Union law and in the constitutions and legal statutes of some European Union member states. In recent years, the European Union has seen an increase in claims for language recognition by minority groups representing a considerable population (such as Catalan in Spain and Welsh in the UK). Additionally, there is a developing situation surrounding the official use of English within the European Union in the aftermath of the Brexit vote. In light of these two contexts, this book focuses on the degree of legal protection afforded to linguistic groups in the European Union. It will be of interest to students and scholars of language policy, EU law, minority languages and sociolinguistics.

Telecommunications Piracy in Latin America

economics, crimes and solutions to overcome the pirates

By: Eduardo Visconti

elecommunication piracy in Latin America is a complex issue with significant economic, legal, and social dimensions. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the problem, highlighting the unique challenges faced by developing countries in the telecommunications sector. Our research offers a new perspective on the economic impacts, legal frameworks, and potential solutions to this pervasive issue. Part 1: The Economics of Telecommunication Piracy in Latin America The first section explores the economic drivers of telecommunication piracy. High service prices, low incomes, and the perception of telecommunications as a luxury item contribute to the prevalence of piracy. Part 2: How Criminal Law Can Act as a Catalyst for Economic Changes The second section addresses the legal aspects of telecommunication piracy. In developing countries, many people view piracy as a harmless crime affecting only multinational companies. We explore the role of legal actions in raising the costs for pirates and influencing consumer behavior. Part 3: Conclusion and Possible Solutions The final section synthesizes the insights from the economic and legal analyses, presenting solutions to telecommunication piracy in Latin America. We propose strategies for multinational corporations, governments, and local entities to collaborate in creating a more equitable and sustainable telecommunications market.

McCartney. Surviving the perfect song

By: Martínez, Julio Eduardo

When The Beatles broke up for good in the British spring of 1970, Paul McCartney was just 27 years old. It was too early to begin a life of celebrity in retirement. He was haunted by the shadow of the immense aesthetic and cultural transformation that he himself had helped to forge. Faced with this crossroads, McCartney deployed - rightly and wrongly - different strategies to renew himself. Like no one before, journalist, musician and researcher Julio Martínez presents this journey without avoiding the contrast of light and shades. With the contradictions inherent to any human experience, which even those four musicians who changed the world could not escape. Never before has McCartney been told with such an intimate narrative. In a register that moves between biography and essay, journalist, musician and researcher Martínez offers us the first Argentine book that deals with his figure. With a deep knowledge, without hiding his admiration but, at the same time, without the empty celebration that generated so much discarded literature. If we were condemned to a single reading to understand Paul McCartney and the beatle movement, these pages could be approached with the certainty of being part of the road to its understanding. Perhaps there is nothing more to ask of a book.
