Mexico, Slavery, Freedom

A Bilingual Documentary History, 1520–1829

By: Pablo Miguel Sierra Silva

“Through its rich and fascinating collection of documents, Mexico, Slavery, Freedom offers a much-needed window into Mexico’s long history of slavery that will leave readers wanting to learn and discover more. Sierra Silva brilliantly guides his readers through the maze of Mexican archival resources. . . . Through his careful content curation, readers will discover how corruption and discrimination led to persistent enslavement of indigenous Mesoamerican and transpacific peoples despite royal orders to abolish the practice. . . . The rich, detailed-packed introductions--to the book in general and to each chapter--are nonetheless succinct and to the point. Sierra Silva’s . . . editorial approach proves that information and interpretative points are better served in small portions. The documents themselves are the main course. Sierra Silva also recognizes the importance of giving readers both English and Spanish versions of each document in the book. These bilingual transcriptions make Mexico, Slavery, Freedom an equally valuable resource for course instruction in predominantly English-speaking environments, bilingual classrooms, and Spanish-centered courses.” —Mariana Dantas, Ohio University This is the first volume to provide, in dual-language format, selections from primary texts related to the experiences of enslaved Africans, Asians, and their descendants in colonial Mexico.

Bandit Narratives in Latin America

From Villa to Chávez

By: Juan Pablo Dabove

Bandits seem ubiquitous in Latin American culture. Even contemporary actors of violence are framed by narratives that harken back to old images of the rural bandit, either to legitimize or delegitimize violence, or to intervene in larger conflicts within or between nation-states. However, the bandit seems to escape a straightforward definition, since the same label can apply to the leader of thousands of soldiers (as in the case of Villa) or to the humble highwayman eking out a meager living by waylaying travelers at machete point. Dabove presents the reader not with a definition of the bandit, but with a series of case studies showing how the bandit trope was used in fictional and non-fictional narratives by writers and political leaders, from the Mexican Revolution to the present. By examining cases from Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela, from Pancho Villa's autobiography to Hugo Chavez's appropriation of his "outlaw" grandfather, Dabove reveals how bandits function as a symbol to expose the dilemmas or aspirations of cultural and political practices, including literature as a social practice and as an ethical experience.

Pablo Escobar: My Father

By: Juan Pablo Escobar

THE POPULAR SERIES NARCOS CAPTURES ONLY HALF THE TRUTH. HERE, AT LAST, IS THE FULL STORY. THE INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER! Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the most infamous drug kingpin of all time, but these versions have always been told from the outside, never from the intimacy of his own home. More than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with the king of cocaine, Juan Pablo Escobar travels to the past to reveal an unabridged version of his father—a man capable of committing the most extreme acts of cruelty while simultaneously professing infinite love for his family. This is not the story of a child seeking redemption for his father, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and the overwhelming need for peace and forgiveness.

Pep City

By: Pablo Vignone

Si Pep Guardiola es el mejor entrenador del mundo, el Manchester City es su ejercicio más acabado en el fútbol. Siete temporadas se tomó para rubricarlo. El City juega muy bien al fútbol desde que el 8 de julio de 2016 Guardiola estampó su firma en el contrato que lo unía al club celeste en adelante, pero nunca había llegado a un nivel de juego tan contundente, exquisito, vistoso, atractivo y arrasador como el que mostró en la Temporada 2022/23. En ese período su equipo conquistó cinco Premier League, cuatro Copas de Liga, dos FA Cup, dos Community Shields y una Champions League. Catorce títulos en siete temporadas lo convirtieron en el entrenador más exitoso en las grandes ligas europeas durante ese período. El autor radiografió ese recorrido desde puntos de vista multidisciplinarios, como la táctica, la historia o la psicología, para repasar el viaje de Guardiola y los Blues desde aquella ilusión hasta esta impecable realidad. Desde la llegada del catalán, el City se sentó a la mesa de los grandes clubes. Ninguno de ellos logró una excelencia en el juego tan abrumadora, al punto que sentarse a disfrutar cómo juega al fútbol el Manchester City es uno de los mejores planes del mundo del entretenimiento actual. No es poco. En ese sentido, este libro funciona como una guía perfecta para disfrutar ese plan.
