The MST, the Zapatistas and Peasant Alternatives to Neoliberalism
by Leandro Vergara-Camus
The Zapatistas of Chiapas and the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST) of Brazil are often celebrated as shining examples in the global struggle against neoliberalism. But what have these movements achieved for their members in more than two decades of resistance and can any of these achievements realistically contribute to the rise of a viable alternative? Through a perfect balance of grassroots testimonies, participative observation and consideration of key debates in development studies, agrarian political economy, historical sociology and critical political economy, Land and Freedom compares, for the first time, the Zapatista and MST movements. Casting a spotlight on their resistance to globalizing market forces, Vergara-Camus gets to the heart of how these movements organize themselves and how territorial control, politicization and empowerment of their membership and the decommodification of social relations are key to understanding their radical development potential.

FictionIf Princesses had Used Tinder
by María Monrabal
If Princesses had Used Tinder, by María Monrabal. Paula is a twenty-three-year-old girl who has just arrived in Madrid to work at Vogue magazine. After an unexpected break, she decides to open a profile in Tinder with no other intentions than to distract herself with someone. However, she starts talking with an interesting young man: Gonzalo, a publicist with whom she begins to befriend online against all odds. Trying to set aside the prejudices related to Tinder and the fact that she is not yet ready for a relationship, they both decide to meet, in order to really know each other and be themselves, without thinking about the logical times that a relationship should follow, skipping the typical games of the first contact where it seems that showing one’s feelings is prohibited… When they begin to trust that this relationship can have a future, their job ambitions interfere and Gonzalo thinks he can’t refuse a very good job offer in a very far away country. At the same time, Paula is doing very well at her job and doesn’t think about leaving it to follow Gonzalo into the unknown. However, they decide to turn that reality around, make the most ouf ot the time they are left before Gonzalo leaves, and begin to write down a list of all the things they have to do before saying goodbye. In this way, they think, their forthcoming farewell will not be so bitter. Deep down, however, that decision hides another truth: the hope that they keep on building something that does not end, and that makes them rethink what is really worth in life: whether to pursue one’s professional dreams or to pursue love. In addition to this main plot, other stories take place in the background of Paula's friends: they are a group of boys anf girls in their twenties, who care about their jobs but also about squeezing the most out of life. Love stories, hopes, crazy weekends, prejudice-free sex through applications, breakups, disappointments, comings and goings ... In short, a very thoughtful and realistic reflection about what it is like to love today for the youngest generation, and a questioning of the idea of love that this new generation has inherited. And all this in fresh, page-turning, moving and fun novel that reminds us of a modern ‘The Evil Wears Prada’, with touches of the acclaimed TV series ‘Sex Education’.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2019Lugares, recorridos y sentidos de la memoria histórica: Acercamientos metodológicos
by Laura Fonseca Durán, Diana Vernot, Tatiana Rojas Roa, Laura Giraldo Martínez, Edwin Corena Puentes, David J. Luquetta Cediel
This book is an initiative of the Regional Groups of Historical Memory (GRMH), which, together with the National Center for Historical Memory since 2013, generated proposals for the construction of historical memory in Colombia. The objective of the consolidation of the GRMH has been to recognize local research processes carried out by university professors to build bridges between the country's institutions and communities victimized in the framework of the internal armed conflict in Colombia. Although the participatory social research bets are nourished by multiple edges, disciplines, and schools of thought, there are methodological peculiarities in the investigations that are formulated in the key of historical memory that, on this occasion, are transversal and are deepened in each chapter.

Film theory & criticismOctober 2019Break It to Me Gently
by Richard Bolisay
As a film critic at large, Richard Bolisay has never been interested in the rigid dichotomy between good and bad, not letting movies off easy with a mere pointing of the thumb in either direction. Rather, as borne out by the reviews and festival dispatches in this collection, he burrows into each movie, teasing its furrows and breaking its codes with a forensic exhilaration in defiance of the limited purview and shallow agency typically accorded to so-called film criticism. Break It to Me Gently is a collection of essays as much as it is a collection of times, people, experiences, thoughts, sensations, places, and stories, that finds its center on Filipino film but, like most displays of youthful ambition, tries to hem in histories, tall tales, politics, memoirs, foresights, and journalism, to mimic the raptures and tensions of the period.

Health & Personal DevelopmentTrabajo en equipo y liderazgo
¡Atrévete… ya! El cielo es el límite
by Mariel Mambretti
This volume has the virtue of focusing on one of the resources that large companies appeal to most today: teamwork. The current complexity of businesses means that they must be approached with a plurality of points of view, which is achieved through a conjunction of different opinions and qualities. You will be able to know the secrets of how to join a good work group and how to make your work perform and look without entering sterile competitions. But at the same time, every human group requires a leader and this aptitude, that of leadership, is another of the most valued today. Here you will learn about the means by which those who created their own business, or lead large corporations, got to get what they needed and expected from others. Skills and attitudes such as persuasion, respect, the wise distribution of rewards and punishments, and the ability to instill enthusiasm will awaken the leader in you. Leadership is learned, earned, deserved. Know how and take action.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureFebruary 2022Away Days
by Álvaro de Grado
There is no better journalism than the one that is done on the ground, there is no better literature than the one that takes us far from home and there is no better passion than the one that is breathed in the stands during a football match in England. Álvaro de Grado made a decision in 2013 that changed his life: moving to Manchester. This book is the journey of someone who, from that day on, always plays as a visitor. It is the x-ray of a unique way of feeling football that emerges in the Premier League stadiums but also in the most modest fields. This book does not give news, it narrates the adventures and misadventures of a correspondent. It tells stories about a land and a people to whom the ball owes everything.
