Urban Slavery in Colonial Mexico

Puebla de los Ángeles, 1531–1706

By: Pablo Miguel Sierra Silva

Using the city of Puebla de los Ángeles, the second-largest urban center in colonial Mexico (viceroyalty of New Spain), Pablo Miguel Sierra Silva investigates Spaniards' imposition of slavery on Africans, Asians, and their families. He analyzes the experiences of these slaves in four distinct urban settings: the marketplace, the convent, the textile mill, and the elite residence. In so doing, Urban Slavery in Colonial Mexico advances a new understanding of how, when, and why transatlantic and transpacific merchant networks converged in Central Mexico during the seventeenth century. As a social and cultural history, it also addresses how enslaved people formed social networks to contest their bondage. Sierra Silva challenges readers to understand the everyday nature of urban slavery and engages the rich Spanish and indigenous history of the Puebla region while intertwining it with African diaspora studies.

Pierde la Banca

By: Miguel Ánge González González

Bankia y el reciente rescate a España han puesto al sector bancario en boca de todos, y no precisamente para bien. Desde el profundo conocimiento del negocio Miguel Ángel González va más allá de estos asuntos o de los ya muy conocidos errores asociados al sector inmobiliario, enumerando los fallos de gestión en los que han incurrido buena parte de nuestras entidades financieras. Pierde la banca pone de manifiesto que sus errores nacen de causas tan variadas y decisivas como una visión cortoplacista, el desenfoque del negocio, el desplazamiento del cliente como centro del mismo, los objetivos desmedidos e impuestos de forma indiscriminada a las sucursales, con las consecuencias negativas que todo ello conlleva para el usuario. Trata además de la intromisión de los políticos en las cajas de ahorros y su resultado: la ruina total o el riesgo de quiebra a la que las han llevado, o su salida airosa y bien pagada, lo que sin duda justifica la pérdida de imagen del sector. El libro deja claro, no obstante, que no todo el sector merece estar en entredicho. Muchos bancos y algunas cajas han hecho bien su trabajo.

Non-Associative Normed Algebras: Volume 2, Representation Theory and the Zel'manov Approach

By: Miguel Cabrera García,Ángel Rodríguez Palacios

This first systematic account of the basic theory of normed algebras, without assuming associativity, includes many new and unpublished results and is sure to become a central resource for researchers and graduate students in the field. This second volume revisits JB*-triples, covers Zel'manov's celebrated work in Jordan theory, proves the unit-free variant of the Vidav–Palmer theorem, and develops the representation theory of alternative C*-algebras and non-commutative JB*-algebras. This completes the work begun in the first volume, which introduced these algebras and discussed the so-called non-associative Gelfand–Naimark and Vidav–Palmer theorems. This book interweaves pure algebra, geometry of normed spaces, and infinite-dimensional complex analysis. Novel proofs are presented in complete detail at a level accessible to graduate students. The book contains a wealth of historical comments, background material, examples, and an extensive bibliography.

Non-Associative Normed Algebras: Volume 1, The Vidav–Palmer and Gelfand–Naimark Theorems

By: Miguel Cabrera García,Ángel Rodríguez Palacios

This first systematic account of the basic theory of normed algebras, without assuming associativity, includes many new and unpublished results and is sure to become a central resource for researchers and graduate students in the field. This first volume focuses on the non-associative generalizations of (associative) C*-algebras provided by the so-called non-associative Gelfand–Naimark and Vidav–Palmer theorems, which give rise to alternative C*-algebras and non-commutative JB*-algebras, respectively. The relationship between non-commutative JB*-algebras and JB*-triples is also fully discussed. The second volume covers Zel'manov's celebrated work in Jordan theory to derive classification theorems for non-commutative JB*-algebras and JB*-triples, as well as other topics. The book interweaves pure algebra, geometry of normed spaces, and complex analysis, and includes a wealth of historical comments, background material, examples and exercises. The authors also provide an extensive bibliography.

The Book of Salsa

A Chronicle of Urban Music from the Caribbean to New York City

By: César Miguel Rondón

Salsa is one of the most popular types of music listened to and danced to in the United States. Until now, the single comprehensive history of the music--and the industry that grew up around it, including musicians, performances, styles, movements, and production--was available only in Spanish. This lively translation provides for English-reading and music-loving fans the chance to enjoy Cesar Miguel Rondon's celebrated El libro de la salsa. Rondon tells the engaging story of salsa's roots in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela, and of its emergence and development in the 1960s as a distinct musical movement in New York. Rondon presents salsa as a truly pan-Caribbean phenomenon, emerging in the migrations and interactions, the celebrations and conflicts that marked the region. Although salsa is rooted in urban culture, Rondon explains, it is also a commercial product produced and shaped by professional musicians, record producers, and the music industry. For this first English-language edition, Rondon has added a new chapter to bring the story of salsa up to the present.

Crosses of Memory and Oblivion

The Monuments to the Fallen in the Spanish Civil War (1936-2022)

By: Miguel Ángel del Arco Blanco

This book explores the history and legacy of monuments to the fallen from the Francoist side in the Spanish Civil War. Del Arco Blanco studies thousands of monuments in towns and cities across Spain to provide a detailed account of the history and memory of the civil war, Francoism, and the transition to democracy. Chapters in the book focus on the myth of those said to have 'fallen for God and for Spain'—a phrase that encapsulated and shaped the dichotomy between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Spaniards. They also focus on the use of monuments to control political and ideological ideals and to legitimise the Francoist dictatorship. Further chapters study Spanish society’s struggle to deal with its past of mass killing, denial, and exclusion. Del Arco Blanco also pays attention to the way the Francoist authorities used monuments and memory for their political and ideological advantage and to control people, power as well as the political agenda. The book draws on extensive research to reconstruct both the specific history of monuments scattered throughout the country and their role within manipulative Francoist memory of the Spanish Civil War. In these ways, monuments helped shape the Francoist narrative and memory, but they also became part of the landscape of contemporary Spanish history. This book is an excellent resource for postgraduate students and professional researchers studying the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and the influence of monuments on the construction of national memory, culture, and society in Spain both at the time and through to the present day.

From Franco to Freedom

The Roots of the Transition to Democracy in Spain, 1962-1982

By: Miguel Angel Ruiz Carnicer

This book brings together recent research by a group of specialists in history and sociology to provide a new reading of the late Franco dictatorship, especially in relation to its political culture. The authors focus on the election of local, trade union and national representatives, the work of the first Spanish sociologists, the struggle over administrative reform, the role of the media and the intellectuals, as well as the evolution of the dictatorships political class and its response to the regimes decline. Not only are the politics of the late dictatorship scrutinised, but also the mechanisms that were deployed to control the fast-changing society of the 1960s and 1970s. In examining the late Franco period, the contributors do not believe that it contained the seeds of Spains later democratisation, but maintain that certain sectorial regime initiatives -- electoral and political changes, an evolving discourse and an interest in political processes outside Spain -- made many Spaniards aware of the dictatorships contradictions and limitations, thereby encouraging its subsequent political and social evolution. This transformation is compared with the latter stages of the parallel dictatorship in Portugal. The great majority of Spaniards felt that the embrace of democratic freedoms and integration into the European Community was the only way forward during the Transition. But the shift from dictatorship to democracy from the 1960s onwards in Spain needs to be understood in relation to the multitude of political and social changes that took place -- despite the opposition of Franco and the bunker mentality of the regime. These changes manifested in a complex interaction between internal and external factors, which eventually resulted in the transformation of Spanish society itself.

50 AOS DEL VICENTE CALDERN/ 50 YEARS OF THE VICENTE CALDERN

la historia de una pasin en... rojo y blanco/ the story of a passion in red and w

By: Miguel Ángel Guijarro,Nacho Montero,Cristina Mosquera

El Vicente Calderón cumple 50 años, pero el Atlético de Madrid tiene más de 113 años de historia en los que fue acomodándose en distintas casas que ayudaron a su evolución. 50 años del Vicente Calderón nos sitúa en los campos en los que jugó antes de llegar a la ribera del Manzanares. Conoceremos los proyectos, sueños e ilusiones de los directivos que hicieron grande al Atlético, descubriremos la intrahistoria de la salida del Metropolitano y los obstáculos que hubo para culminar la obra del nuevo estadio. Un trabajo periodístico, riguroso y documentado que contextualiza el porqué de algunas decisiones que, en su momento, no fueron entendidas por los aficionados y desgastaron a personajes importantes en la historia, como Javier Barroso. Descubriremos a Vicente Calderón. Sabremos quién era y cómo llegó a manejar la nave rojiblanca; profundizaremos en su figura, en su personalidad, en su amor por el Atlético de Madrid. Sabremos más del estadio, de sus trasformaciones, de sus instalaciones, de su evolución en el mundo del fútbol, su aportación y todos sus rincones. También hablaremos de pasión y de los momentos históricos vividos en el césped. Recordaremos a los grandes jugadores, los grandes partidos, las grandes victorias y alguna que otra decepción. En definitiva, la vida de un campo contada por los que sudaron allí la camiseta. Pero el Calderón es mucho más que fútbol. Es también un templo de la música. Nos vamos a sumergir en la intrahistoria de los grandes eventos realizados en estos 50 años. Si el Calderón está en el centro del mundo futbolístico, también es un referente musical a nivel mundial. Por él han pasado los más grandes y muchas generaciones de fans han vibrado allí con sus ídolos. El Calderón cumple 50 años. Pasa sin miedo. Todo el que entra sale enamorado.

Diccionario comentado de términos financieros ingleses de uso frecuente en español

By: Miguel Castelo Montero

La internacionalización del mundo financiero es una realidad, y la liberalización de los sistemas financieros han producido una mayor flexibilización de contratación en los mercados internacionales. Este diccionario ofrece un compendio explicativo de la extensa serie de términos de la lengua inglesa que se usan con frecuencia en español dentro del ámbito de la terminología de los mercados financieros. El autor ha tratado de aproximarse al tema desde una óptica real. Las voces y expresiones aquí registradas son conocidas y usadas regularmente por todos aquellos que, de una manera directa o indirecta, se mueven en el mundo económico y financiero. Resulta interesante el tratamiento lingüístico de la etimología más próxima que se da al término para conocer con mayor rigor y exactitud el por qué se usa y su vinculación con la jerga, ya que, recordemos, la terminología financiera está basada la mayoría de las veces, en el habla cotidiana. Esta obra puede ser útil para los filólogos, traductólogos, economistas y abogados ya que los foros de la filología moderna han incorporado a sus planteamientos tradicionales los estudios que se ocupan del uso de los idiomas en contextos especializados. En este diccionario se recogen ejemplos reales tomados de la prensa económica española actual, de las dos variedades más comunes del inglés, el británico y el americano, aunque más bien podríamos hablar de inglés internacional ya que la globalización de los mercados ha hecho que desaparezcan algunos rasgos diferenciales.
