El programa de vida de san Alberto Hurtado fue la síntesis de "Amarás a Dios con todo tu corazón...y a tu prójimo como a ti mismo".Benedicto XVI, Homilía en la misa de canonización (23 de octubre de 2005).Jesíta chileno, apoóstol del siglo XX en los ámbitos universitarios y obreros, su figura es gigante.

Beginning with a gripping, firsthand account of the 2011 anti-gay murder of twenty-four year-old Norma Hurtado, a student the author taught in an Austin high school ten years earlier, this series of interwoven essays employs a mix of narrative nonfiction and political analysis to uncover the intersectional nature of the disparities impacting the LGBTQ community. Drawing from his fifteen-years’ experience as a grassroots organizer in Texas and California, Greco argues for the types of political organizations and public policies necessary to address these challenges. To Find a Killer charts a robust but pragmatic course for the LGBTQ movement today: investing in grassroots leadership development, rooting organizations in local civic and religious institutions, and focusing not just on legal equality, but a wider set of socio-economic issues.

Larry W. Hurtado has been one of the leading scholars on early Christology for decades. In Honoring the Son: Jesus in Earliest Christian Devotional Practice, Hurtado helps readers understand early Christology by examining not just what early Christians believed or wrote about Jesus, but what their devotional practices tell us about the place of Jesus in early Christian worship. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of early Christian origins and scholarship on New Testament Christology, Hurtado examines the distinctiveness of early Christian worship by comparing it to both Jewish worship patterns and worship practices within the broader Roman--era religious environment. He argues that the inclusion of the risen Jesus alongside the Father in early Christian devotional practices was a distinct and unique religious phenomenon within its ancient context. Additionally, Hurtado demonstrates that this remarkable development was not invented decades after the resurrection of Christ as some scholars once claimed. Instead, the New Testament suggests that Jesus--followers, very quickly after the resurrection of Christ, began to worship the Son alongside the Father. Honoring the Son offers a look into the worship habits of the earliest Christians to understand the place of Jesus in early Christian devotion.

This book reveals how powerful undercurrents of sex, gender, and culture helped shape the history of the American frontier from the 1760s to the 1850s. Looking at California under three flags -- those of Spain, Mexico, and the United States -- Hurtado resurrects daily life in the missions, at mining camps, on overland trails and sea journeys, and in San Francisco. In these settings Hurtado explores courtship, marriage, reproduction, and family life as a way to understand how men and women -- whether Native American, Anglo American, Hispanic, Chinese, or of mixed blood -- fit into or reshaped the roles and identities set by their race and gender.

In this novel take on diplomatic history, Sebastián Hurtado-Torres examines the involvement of the United States in Chile during the Eduardo Frei administration (1964–1970) and shows how the engagement between the two nations deepened the process of political polarization in Chile. At the heart of The Gathering Storm is a description of the partnership between Frei's government and that of Lyndon B. Johnson. Both leaders considered modernization to be integral to political and economic development, and the US Embassy in Santiago was recognized by all parties to be the center of this modernizing agenda and the practical work of the Alliance for Progress (AFP). Hurtado-Torres portrays the diplomatic and economic relationship between Chile and the United States in a manner that departs from the most militant and conservative interpretations of US foreign policy toward Latin America. By focusing on the active participation of agents of US foreign policy—particularly those associated with the AFP—and not secret operatives of the Central Intelligence Agency, Hurtado-Torres offers a fresh narrative about a critical period in Chilean political history and a new understanding of the ways and means through which the foreign policy of the United States was carried out.

Explores the relationship between Chicana feminism and the lived experiences of Chicanas Chicana voices are missing from the psychology of women. Though “Chicana feminisms” have only recently been enumerated, a feminist perspective has long existed in Chicano communities without ever having been explicitly named. Grounded in specific aspects of Chicano culture such as the contested role of La Malinche and the complexities of Marianismo, the distinguishing feature of Chicana feminisms has been their embrace of diversity. Chicanas readily acribe to many feminisms and do not expect there to be only one. Focusing on young women between the ages of 20 and 30, Chicanas Speak Feminisms explores the relationship between Chicana feminism and the lived experiences of Chicanas. What do they see as their day-to-day manifestation of feminist consciousness? What is the relationship between what Chicana feminists propose and their lived experiences as women and as members of other significant social groups? Including rich ethnographic testimony based on questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and shadowing, Hurtado allows the women to speak in their own terms about how they see their femininity, sexuality, gender identity, ethnic/racial identity, and ties to other feminisms and political struggles.

Antonio Hurtado de Mendoza (1586-1644) gozó de la estima de sus contemporáneos: Cervantes en Viaje del Parnaso, Lope de Vega en La Circe, Tirso de Molina en Los cigarrales de Toledo, Pérez de Montalbán en Para todos, Vélez de Guevara en El diablo Cojuelo o Gracián en su Agudeza dejan testimonio fehaciente de la consideración que mereció, desde los tiempos de joven cortesano al servicio del conde de Saldaña hasta su ascenso a la sombra del conde-duque de Olivares y el desempeño de una secretaría real. Entremesista muy valorado en su tiempo y autor de varios tratados, relaciones y un amplio conjunto de poemas, de él se conocen trece comedias. Se editan en este volumen dos de ellas: Cada loco con su tema, sobre el matrimonio concertado contra la voluntad de la dama, y Los empeños del mentir, una comedia de enredo en la que el embuste es el motor que fuerza la reacción de los personajes.

This definitive biography offers a new critical assessment of the life, works, and ideas of Herbert E. Bolton (1870-1953), a leading historian of the American West, Mexico, and Latin America. Bolton, a famous pupil of Frederick Jackson Turner, formulated a concept - the borderlands - that is a foundation of historical studies today. His research took him not only to the archives and libraries of Mexico but out on the trails blazed by Spanish soldiers and missionaries during the colonial era. Bolton helped establish the reputation of the University of California and the Bancroft Library in the eyes of the world and was influential among historians during his lifetime, but interest in his ideas waned after his death. Now, more than a century after Bolton began to investigate the Mexican archives, Albert L. Hurtado explores his life against the backdrop of the cultural and political controversies of his day.

Mexican Americans comprise the largest subgroup of Latina/os, and their path to education can be a difficult one. Yet just as this group is often marginalized, so are their stories, and relatively few studies have chronicled the educational trajectory of Mexican American men and women. In this interdisciplinary collection, editors Zambrana and Hurtado have brought together research studies that reveal new ways to understand how and why members of this subgroup have succeeded and how the facilitators of success in higher education have changed or remained the same.The Magic Key’s four sections explain the context of Mexican American higher education issues, provide conceptual understandings, explore contemporary college experiences, and offer implications for educational policy and future practices. Using historical and contemporary data as well as new conceptual apparatuses, the authors in this collection create a comparative, nuanced approach that brings Mexican Americans’ lived experiences into the dominant discourse of social science and education. This diverse set of studies presents both quantitative and qualitative data by gender to examine trends of generations of Mexican American college students, provides information on perceptions of welcoming university climates, and proffers insights on emergent issues in the field of higher education for this population. Professors and students across disciplines will find this volume indispensable for its insights on the Mexican American educational experience, both past and present.

The Interoceanic Highway is many things to many people: an emblematic project during a period focused on integration, a dream realized for an isolated region, a symbol of the profound fragility of state institutions, a key cause of political corruption, and a major driver of ecological and cultural devastation. This highway links the Andean highlands with the Amazonian lowlands in southern Peru, offering an outlet for Brazil’s emergent economy. While it finally brought an end to the isolation of Madre de Dios and other parts of southern Peru and the western Amazon, it was made possible by political corruption revealed in the Lava Jato scandal, and it permitted the spread of criminal business activities. But the Interoceanic Highway’s deeper history must be appreciated in order to fully understand why it was built and the impacts it has generated.The Road to the Land of the Mother of God explores more than five hundred years of the history of Peru’s Interoceanic Highway, showing how the purposes, portrayals, and importance of roads change fundamentally over time, and thus how roads bring significantly more impacts and costs than their advocates and critics generally anticipate. By taking a deeper look at infrastructure history, Stephen G. Perz and Jorge Luis Castillo Hurtado portray infrastructure as an integrative optic for understanding changes in local livelihoods, regional development, and social conflicts.

Este libro articula una concepción participativa de la democracia deliberativa que aspira a mejorar el control democrático de la ciudadanía y defiende la importancia de la participación ciudadana frente a concepciones que menosprecian su valor. Para ello, ofrece un análisis crítico de concepciones pluralistas, epistémicas y lotocráticas de la democracia. Sus defensores proponen varios atajos institucionales para solventar problemas que aquejan a las sociedades democráticas como, por ejemplo, la necesidad de superar desacuerdos profundos, la ignorancia política de los ciudadanos o la baja calidad de la deliberación pública. Desafortunadamente, todos esos atajos no democráticos requieren que la ciudadanía defiera ciegamente a las decisiones de actores sobre los que no puede ejercer ningún tipo de control (mayorías electorales, expertos políticos o ciudadanos elegidos al azar). Implementar dichas propuestas socavaría, por tanto, la democracia.Además, dichas concepciones asumen ingenua

2020 Second Place, Best Nonfiction Multi Author, International Latino Book AwardsCollecting the perspectives of scholars who reflect on their own relationships to particular garments, analyze the politics of dress, and examine the role of consumerism and entrepreneurialism in the production of creating and selling a style, meXicana Fashions examines and searches for meaning in these visible, performative aspects of identity.Focusing primarily on Chicanas but also considering trends connected to other Latin American communities, the authors highlight specific constituencies that are defined by region (“Tejana style,” “L.A. style”), age group (“homie,” “chola”), and social class (marked by haute couture labels such as Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta). The essays acknowledge the complex layers of these styles, which are not mutually exclusive but instead reflect a range of intersections in occupation, origin, personality, sexuality, and fads. Other elements include urban indigenous fashion shows, the shifting quinceañera market, “walking altars” on the Days of the Dead, plus-size clothing, huipiles in the workplace, and dressing in drag.

La compañía José Estruch ha recuperado el texto de un autor un tanto olvidado, como es Antonio Hurtado de Mendoza, que es con toda probabilidad una reelaboración del que escribió este autor con Francisco de Quevedo en 1631.Una trama sencilla que se va complicando poco a poco según avanza la obra y los dos mentirosos van cambiando de papeles para ajustarse a las circunstancias, y un final tópico que, sin embargo, no incurre en el moralismo que se podría esperar de un autor decoroso, tan decoroso como Antonio Hurtado de Mendoza.Pilar Muñoz, La tribunaParece un acierto aquello de adaptar al siglo XXI la problemática barroca de las apariencias como forma de vida, más de moda que nunca en esta sociedad de famoseo monetario indiscriminado. [...] La escena se convierte en una trama de falsas apariencias por parte de todos los implicados. Quien más quien menos se arrima a la personalidad del famoso de turno o directamente la suplanta para medrar socialmente.Jorge Ureña, Lanza

Los historiadores de la guerra suelen olvidar el sufrimiento de los hombres. Presentan los acontecimientos con frialdad, como si las tropas fueran peones de marfil en un tablero de tierra. Pero no es así. Dejando a un lado el sufrimiento y el dolor de los heridos o de quienes pierden a sus seres próximos, hay individuos que pasan a vivir en una terrible situación, los prisioneros de guerra: el desconcierto y la desazón por el porvenir se adueñan de ellos, pues su vida no está garantizada o va a desarrollarse en unas condiciones penosas. Estos estados han sido obviados y son escasísimos los estudios de que han sido objeto los prisioneros de guerra durante la Edad Moderna.Esta obra pretende contribuir a llenar un vacío en la historiografía española sobre el asunto, para lo que se ofrece el estudio y edición de la correspondencia de Dionisio Tomás de las Cagigas, un marino español que sufrió el cautiverio de guerra entre 1794 y 1795, en Francia, y en alta mar a manos de Inglaterra, tes

California is a contentious arena for the study of the Native American past. Some critics say genocide characterized the early conduct of Indian affairs in the state; others say humanitarian concerns. Robert F. Heizer, in the former camp, has compiled a damning collection of contemporaneous accounts that will provoke students of California history to look deeply into the state's record of race relations and to question bland generalizations about the adventuresome days of the Gold Rush.

How do economic weakness and dependence influence foreign policy decisions and behavior in third world countries? Theories in Dependent Foreign Policy examines six foreign policy theories: compliance, consensus, counterdependence, realism, leader preferences and domestic politics, and each is applied to a series of case studies of Ecuador’s foreign policy during the 1980s under two regimes: Osvaldo Hurtado (1981-1984) and his successor León Febres Cordero (1984-1988). Hey shows that Ecuador during this period represented the third world in many ways. It was a new democracy, having just emerged from years of military rule, extremely indebted to the West, and dependent on primary product export economy that relied heavily on importers, especially the United States. Jeanne Hey finds that some of the most popular and enduring theories in western research, such as realism and compliance, poorly account for Ecuadorian foreign policy. She explains that poor countries like Ecuador have substantial foreign policy latitude in the diplomatic area. Drawing on archival research and interviews with policy makers including Presidents Hurtado and Febres Cordero, Dr. Hey convincingly argues that many of the traditional foreign policy theories do not “fit” dependent states, and inadequately account for the complexity of foreign policy in the third world.
