Paperback. Condition: New. The Cold War claimed many lives and inflicted tremendous psychological pain throughout the Americas. The extreme polarization that resulted from pitting capitalism against communism held most of the creative and productive energy of the twentieth century captive. Many artists responded to Cold War struggles by engaging in activist art practice, using creative expression to mobilize social change. The Art of Solidarity examines how these creative practices in the arts and culture contributed to transnational solidarity campaigns that connected people across the Americas from the early twentieth century through the Cold War and its immediate aftermath.This collection of original essays is divided into four chronological sections: cultural and artistic production in the pre-Cold War era that set the stage for transnational solidarity organizing; early artistic responses to the rise of Cold War polarization and state repression; the centrality of cultural and artistic production in social movements of solidarity; and solidarity activism beyond movements. Essay topics range widely across regions and social groups, from the work of lesbian activists in Mexico City in the late 1970s and 1980s, to the exchanges and transmissions of folk-music practices from Cuba to the United States, to the uses of Chilean arpilleras to oppose and protest the military dictatorship. While previous studies have focused on politically engaged artists or examined how artist communities have created solidarity movements, this book is one of the first to merge both perspectives.…

Rústica. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. ôEl embajador de Medina Azaharaö es una apasionante novela histórica que arranca de un episodio diplomático acaecido entre Abd al-Rahmán III y Otón I. El encuentro del emperador alemán con el califa de Córdoba e impulsor de la hermosa ciudad palatina de Medina Azahara pretendía que el estado islámico de Fraxinetum, convertido en reducto de piratas contra cuyas correrías se organizaron varias expediciones para expulsarles de la aldea fortificada que les servía de cobijo en plenos dominios cristianos, dejara de poner en peligro el comercio naval a través del Mediterráneo. Este hecho, rigurosamente histórico y transmitido escuetamente por Ibd Jaldum, permite a los autores pergeñar una estimulante aventura, llena de riesgos, a la que dan vida personajes como el propio califa, Juan de Gorze, Garamano, Hasday o Recemundo. Y toda ella, con el trasfondo de la realidad política, social, religiosa y cultural de la Europa del siglo X. Una sugestiva narración que excita el placer por la lectura y que se sigue con creciente interés hasta su desenlace. AUTOR Javier Martín Fernández es Catedrático de Derecho Finan. LIBRO.…

(Quotes taken from the front flap and back panel of the dustwrapper) ***'Móricz Jókay of Ásva (18 February 1825 - 5 May 1904), known as Mór Jókai, was a Hungarian novelist, dramatist and revolutionary. Outside of Hungary, he was also known as Maurice Jókai or Maurus Jókai or Mauritius Jókai. He was a leader of the outbreak of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 in Pest. His romantic novels became widely popular among the elite of Victorian England, where he was often compared to Charles Dickens by the press. One of his most famous admirers was Queen Victoria herself.'
