Libro 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. Lara 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. Medina also illuminates the strides made by Las Hermanas in undermining and reorienting the male-dominated structure of both the Catholic ministry and the Chicano civil rights movement.By showing how the group has engaged such issues as moral authority, sexuality, and domestic abuse through its religiously informed efforts in grassroots community organizing and education, Lara Medina showcases the crucial role played by Las Hermanas in the articulation of a spiritually and politically grounded Latina/Chicana identity.

Libro Beatas y endemoniadas/ Sanctimonious and diabolics

«De los sesenta y seis casos de " religiosidad heterodoxa " hallados en el tribunal inquisitorial de Cuenca y que la profesora Sarrión ha estudiado, la mayoría conciernen a mujeres que se ven, de esta manera, privilegiadas en esta obra, una circunstancia ésta que en mi opinión no hace sino aumentar el interés e importancia de este libro: si de la " gente común " sabemos poco, ¿cuánto menos no sabremos de esa mitad de ella formada por las mujeres? Interesa, pues, y mucho, saber acerca de cómo vivían las mujeres " normales " la religiosidad, más aún en una religión como la...

Libro Rischio, catastrofe e gestione dell’emergenza nel Mediterraneo occidentale e in Ispanoamerica in età moderna : omaggio a Jean-Philippe Luis

[Italiano]: Il libro è il primo risultato di un progetto di ricerca interdisciplinare e internazionale sui disastri di origine naturale verificatisi nei territori governati dalle monarchie borboniche tra il XVIII secolo e l’inizio del XIX. I dodici saggi che lo compongono esplorano le strategie e le pratiche attraverso cui istituzioni e società cercarono di gestire, mitigare e prevenire gli effetti catastrofici di eruzioni, terremoti, inondazioni, carestie ed epidemie, in territori geograficamente lontani e diversi tra loro – dal Mediterraneo occidentale all’America centrale e...
