Las Hermanas

In this historical study, Lara Medina examines the early development and continuing influence of Las Hermanas, a feminist organization established in 1971 to counter the patriarchy and Eurocentrism of the U.S. Catholic Church. Medina weaves archival research and oral interviews into a cohesive narrative that highlights the keen ethnic and political awareness among the movement's leaders and participants.

Los Últimos de la Tricolor es el resultado de la tesis doctoral del autor, Jesús Movellán Haro, tras haberla defendido en febrero de 2020 en la Universidad de Cantabria, bajo la dirección de la Dra.

Este libro hace un ameno repaso a todos los acontecimientos que marcaron los cincos siglos de historia de la presencia de España en África, el reino olvidado.

A riveting, comprehensive history of the Arab people and tribes that explores the role of language as a cultural touchstone. This kaleidoscopic book covers almost 3,000 years of Arab history and shines a light on the footloose Arab people and tribes who conquered lands and disseminated their language and culture over vast distances. Tracing this process to the origins of the Arabic language, rather than the advent of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith begins his narrative more than a thousand years before Muhammad and focuses on how Arabic, both spoken and written, has functioned as a vital source...
