DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe majority of people around the world are experiencing oppressive and destructive forces which manifest themselves in starvation, income polarisation, joblessness, stress, violence, and so on. What is the nature of these forces? If we call them "globalisation", can there be good globalisation as well as bad globalisation? Is this a new phenomenon or just a continuation of history as it has always been? This book brings together a wide range of expertise addressing these problems from a world-systems perspective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSe percibe en estos cuentos un lenguaje no sexista, una alta sensibilidad frente a la subordinación que afecta a las mujeres y en especial de aquellos que la pobreza critica los ha obligado a emigrar a los Estados Unidos. Es un develamiento de cómo la cultura patriarcal se ex presa en las relaciones cotidianas entre hombres y mujeres, la subestimación de las mujeres, violaciones sexuales, ase dios, abusos laborales y la utilización del cuerpo de la mujer en los medios de comunicación. En Crisálida la emigración en busca de mejores oportunidades de vida queda desmitificada, en tanto se exponen riesgos de los viajes en yolas, los abusos cometidos en extremo en las grandes ciudades de destino sin ninguna protección ni seguridad para los inmigrantes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“A moving evocation of the small-town South in the mid-twentieth century” that “belongs on the shelf with the works of Flannery O’Connor, Carson McCullers, and Eudora Welty” (Orlando Sentinel). John Kennedy Toole—who won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for his best-selling comic masterpiece A Confederacy of Dunces—wrote The Neon Bible for a literary contest at the age of sixteen. The manuscript languished in a drawer and became the subject of a legal battle among Toole’s heirs. It was only in 1989, thirty-five years after it was written and twenty years after Toole’s suicide at thirty-one, that this amazingly accomplished and evocative novel was freed for publication. “Heartfelt emotion, communicated in clean direct prose . . . a remarkable achievement.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “John Kennedy Toole’s tender, nostalgic side is as brilliantly effective as his corrosive satire. If you liked To Kill A Mockingbird you will love The Neon Bible.” —Florence King “Shockingly mature. . . . Even at sixteen, Toole knew that the way to write about complex emotions is to express them simply.” —Kerry Luft, Chicago Tribune

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBringing the same light and gentle understanding that he did to the story collection Same Place, Same Things, author Tim Gautreaux tells the tale of Paul and Colette, star-crossed and factious lovers struggling to make it in rural south Louisiana. When Colette, fed up with small town life, perceives yet another indiscretion by the fun-loving Paul, she heads for Los Angeles, with big dreams and Paul in tow. Paul's attempts to draw his beautiful young wife back home to the Cajun bayou, and back to his heart, make up a tale filled with warmth, devotion and majestically constructed scenes of Southern life, in The Next Step in the Dance.
