Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Reform and Its Complexities in Modern Britain

The essays in this volume, taken together, span the era of British history from 1780 to the present that has engrossed the attention of Brian Harrison in a career of more than fifty years. In keeping with his diverse interests, they vary widely in subject matter. Yet each contributes, in some fashion, to an appreciation of the complexities of reform in modern Britain. Throughout his career Harrison has demonstrated an unwavering interest in social movements and pressure groups. He has analysed the organisation of reform movements and their bases of support; explored the aspirations and beliefs motivating individuals to start or join such movements; and examined the ideas and ideals shaping their conception of human improvement. No one has done more to show that the significance of a reform movement's triumphs and disappointments can be grasped only in relation to the forces amassed to resist its claims. The essays gathered here, on the Harrisonian theme of reform and its complexities, form an acknowledgment of the massive mark their honouree has made on the study of modern British history. They are preceded by a Foreword composed by Keith Thomas and an editorial Introduction tracing the course of Harrison's scholarship and connecting that scholarship to the substance of the essays. The volume encompasses both wide-ranging analytical investigations and telling case studies. All have new things to say on the subject of reform and its complexities in modern Britain.

Fidel Castro

Libro Fidel Castro

Hoffnungsträger der Dritten Welt oder rücksichtsloser Despot? Fidel Castro, Máximo Líder der kubanischen Revolution, polarisiert wie kaum eine andere Figur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er hat unzählige Mordanschläge, die Amtszeit von zehn US-Präsidenten und den Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion überlebt. Diese Biografie zeigt, wie Castro seine charismatische Herrschaft im Spannungsfeld der Supermächte begründen, verfestigen und trotz aller Krisen bis in die Gegenwart ausbauen konnte. Dabei präsentiert der Autor neue Quellen und wertet erstmals die spanischsprachige Sekundärliteratur aus, die ...

La edad media de Navarra a Sevilla

Libro La edad media de Navarra a Sevilla

Es difícil olvidar que buena parte de las diferencias culturales actuales tienen su origen en la Edad Media. Nadie discute actualmente que las sociedades medievales peninsulares participan del conjunto de rasgos que caracterizan en esencia al occidente medieval; tampoco que las diferencias entre los distintos reinos hispanos impiden la reducción de la historia del conjunto a un solo relato unificador.

"La obra de Querido desenmascara la idea de que Cuba es una democracia representativa. En las "elecciones" del 11 de marzo de 2018, alrededor de 170 cubanos intentaron postularse como candidatos independientes para la Asamblea Nacional. Sin embargo, a niguno de ellos se les permitió. El proceso electoral cubano es una farsa que coarta los derechos políticos de sus ciudadanos a elegir y ser electos, tal como esablece la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos."
