FORJA DEL IMPERIO ESPAÑOL LA
Book SynopsisMientras en Tenochtitlán se sacrificaban miles de personas para inaugurar un templo, y los caribes criaban niños como un manjar exquisito, una nación forjada en ocho siglos de Reconquista emprendía la mayor exploración jamás realizada. España, que en apenas cincuenta años descubrió y cartografió más de la mitad del planeta, no llegó a América para esclavizar, sino para liberar. Sabías que fue Isabel la Católica quien, contra toda opinión experta, financió la expedición que cambiaría el mundo? O que los propios dominicos españoles, como Antonio de Montesinos, fueron los primeros en denunciar los abusos contra los indígenas, provocando la creación de las revolucionarias Le-yes de Burgos en 1512?Durante siglos, la historia de España ha sido secuestrada por los ene-migos de la verdad. Bajo el disfraz de la Leyenda Negra, se ha construido una narrativa falsificada que ha oscurecido uno de los capítulos más grandiosos de la civilización occidental: la gesta hispánica que forjó el primer imperio global de la historia.UNA OBRA QUE DESMONTA MITOS Y REIVINDICA EL LEGADO HISPÁNICOMarcos López Herrador, acomete una tarea urgente y valiente: desmontar, con rigor y pasión, los mitos impuestos por la propaganda británica, el marxismo cultural y la oligarquía globalista. Con un estilo preciso y documentado, el autor reivindica la epopeya de España en América como una empresa civilizadora sin parangón, heredera de Jerusalén, Atenas y Roma, basada en valores que el mundo actual desprecia: el humanismo católico, la solidaridad, la fe, la justicia y la grandeza de espíritu.Prologado por Marcelo Gullo, este libro es un arma cultural poderosa contra la autocensura, el relativismo y la desmemoria. Una llamada a redescubrir la Hispanidad como modelo histórico alternativo frente a la globalización deshumanizante. Una obra imprescindible para quienes no aceptan que se pida perdón por lo que fue, sencillamente, grandioso.

Oxford University Press, USA Manufacturing Rationality The Engineering Foundations of the Managerial Revolution Author Yehouda Shenhav May2002
Book SynopsisManagement is a powerful mode of thought and code of conduct in the modern world, closely associated with the American way and a natural extension of economic progress. This is a book about the history and development of management and managerial rationality in the United States in the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century.Through careful analysis of contemporary records in the engineering profession, the author shows how management invented itself and carved its own domain in the face of hostility and resistance from both manufacturers and workers. The book demonstrates how the new language and rhetoric of management emerged, and how it confronted and replaced the language of traditional capitalism: ''system'' instead of ''individuals''; ''jobs'' instead of ''natural rights''; ''planning'' instead of ''free initiatives''.Manufacturing Rationality can be read simultaneously as an historical account of the genesis of modern management, a chapter in the history of American capitalism, a critical analysis of industrial engineering, and as a sociology of (managerial) knowledge.Trade ReviewReview from previous edition This book is original and refreshing. * Robert R. Locke, Business History *the book tells an absorbing story. * Judith Maas, Bookshelf, Sloan Managment Review, Spring 2000. *Yehouda Shenhav shows that the American system of management required elaborate social construction. Managers had to justify thier existence vis-a-vis owners and workers, and it took a great deal of effort to 'normalize' their social power. This book makes an imortant critical contribution to our understanding of how the large corporation emerged in the U.S and deserves to be read by anyone interested in the origins of American 'managerialism'. * Neil Fligstein 18/03/1999 *Yehouda Shenhav rewrites business history in this magisterial account of the role of engineers in the American management revolution. That revolution, Shenhav demonstrates, was spearheaded by engineers, whose rational, calculated precepts of work organization depoliticized the relationship between labor and capital. Modern management's rhetorical claim to neutrality stands on this technical foundation. This elegant and compelling study undercuts conventional efficiency arguments about the rise of modern management. * Frank Dobbin, Princeton University, 1999 *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; 1.

OUP USA The Rule of Empires
Book SynopsisA grand account of the evolution of empire from its origins in ancient Rome to its most recent twentieth-century embodiment, The Rule of Empires explores the historical reality of subjugation and exposes the true limits of imperial power.Trade Review"Wide ranging, richly detailed, lucidly written, this compelling history of empires stresses the subject peoples on whose back these polities were built and whose resistance often caused their collapse. With his shrewdly selected mix of case studies, Parsons provides us with an important and timely rejoinder against those who romanticize imperial rule." --Dane Kennedy, George Washington University "How refreshing to read a history of imperialism aimed at a broad audience that refuses to blur or soften the brutal effects and origins of empire.... Parsons offers a refreshing, engaging and cogently argued counterweight to the more usual neo-conservative reckoning of empire's alleged benefits." --Philippa Levine, H-Net "A lucid, cold-eyed analysis of the mechanics of imperial control. The result is a compelling critique of empires past and of their latter-day nostalgists." --Publishers Weekly "Parsons, an Africanist by training, samples instructive imperial experiences: Roman Britain, Muslim Spain, Spanish Peru, the East India Company in Italy, Napoleonic Italy, British Kenya, and Vichy France." --Charles S. Maie, Foreign Affairs "Parsons sets an ambitious agenda for his case study on empires and largely succeeds. Explicitly setting out to counter the neoimperialist historiography of the last decade, Parsons uses a series of historic imperial episodes to illustrate the limits of empire and explain why empires subsequently fall.... Students of empire, historical or otherwise, would be well advised to read this book.... Highly recommended." --Choice "Parsons deserves to be commended for tackling such a key question in imperial studies. He offers a thought-provoking interpretation of the dynamics of empire from ancient to modern manifestations. His questions touching the evolution of empires merit serious consideration by historians." --Jodie Mader, Thomas More College "Parsons aims, laudably, to correct the imbalances... apologists of empire have introduced in readers' minds." --Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Times Literary Supplement "Vigorously written and intellectually engaging...there should be little dissent from the relevancy of its anti-imperialist imperative in the twenty-first century." --David Levering Lewis, The Journal of Modern HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction: The Subjects of Empire ; 1.

Taylor & Francis A History of Book Publishing in Contemporary
Book SynopsisThis book presents a cultural history of Latin America as seen through a symbolic good and a practice â the book, and the act of publication â two elements that have had an irrefutable power in shaping the modern world. The volume combines multiple theoretical approaches and empirical landscapes with the aim to comprehend how Latin American publishers became the protagonists of a symbolic unification of their continent from the 1930s through the 1970s. The Latin American focus responds to a central point in its history: the effective interdependence of the national cultures of the continent. Americanism, until the 1950s, or Latin Americanism, from the onset of the Cold War, were moral frameworks that guided publishersâ thinking and actions and had concrete effects on the process of regional integration. The illustration of how Latin American publishing markets were articulated opens up broader and comparative questions regarding the ways in which the ideas embodied in books aTable of ContentsPart 1: Argentina 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Iconic Works of Art by Feminists and Gender
Book SynopsisIn this book, contributors identify and explore a range of iconic works â Mistress-Pieces â that have been made by feminists and gender activists since the 1970s. The first volume for which the defining of iconic feminist art is the raison dâÃtre, its contributors interpret a Mistress-Piece as a work that has proved influential in a particular context because of its distinctiveness and relevance.Reinterpreting iconic art by Alice Neel, Hannah Wilke and Ana Mendieta, the authors also offer important insights about works that may be less well known â those by Natalia LL, Tanja OstojiÄ, Swoon, Clara MenÃres, Diane Victor, Usha Seejarim, Ilse FuskovÃ, Phaptawan Suwannakudt âand Tracey Moffatt, among others. While in some instances revealing cross influences between artists working in different frameworks, the publication simultaneously makes evident how social and political factors specific to particular countries had significant impact on the making and reception of art focused Table of ContentsIntroductionBrenda SchmahmannPart I: Reconfiguring Domestic Life 1.
