Condition: Very Good. A diverse group of international scholars offers cutting-edge analysis of the Andr s Manuel L pez Obrador (AMLO) administration and Mexico's Fourth Transformation - one of the most profound structural shifts in a major democracy, both within Latin America and globally. Chapters assess the complexity of this significant transformation in Mexican democracy and society. For decades, the political system operated through a dominant party and an entrenched ruling class, sustaining a hegemonic order. While the 2000 election broke the PRI's hold, power remained concentrated without dispersing decisively. The subsequent center-right governments failed to provide better living standards, greater public security, or stronger institutional integrity. After two electoral defeats, AMLO's victory in 2018 marked a rupture. As declared in his inaugural address, this was not merely a change of government but a regime shift - a new leadership, movement, and ruling class that reshaped ideology and governance alike. The volume explores key themes, from AMLO's strategic ambivalence and leadership style to executive power, democratic institutions, and social policy implementation. It also traces the historical trajectory of the Morena movement, from its origins to its current struggle to navigate a pivotal leadership transition.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. El sue o de la raz n is an excellent example of Antonio Buero Vallejo's «posibilismo , as the Spanish playwright called his strategy for conveying his strong public denouncements while eluding the Franco regime's censorship. Buero Vallejo centers the action in the pathos of Francisco de Goya, an indisputable icon of the Spanish culture; he delves into the painter's mind and daemons, using Goya's art to transform the play into a «total immersion experience. In this way, he provokes the audience's feelings and leads it to complete the work's message after the curtain's fall. Most of the action takes place in Goya's «Quinta del sordo (the «deaf man's country home ), during the Spanish King Ferdinand VII's restoration, (1823) with its subsequent crack down on «freethinkers, liberals and masons . The projected «Black Paintings form a good part of the sparse stage design. Buero Vallejo plays with a sequence of images, conflating Goya deafness with dialogue, paintings and his etchings «Caprichos , «Disparates and «Desastres de la guerra in order to achieve a strong, univocal form of communication. This edition, with a foreword by Dr. Yos lida C. Rivero-Zaritzky, combines ample footnotes with reproductions of the «Black Paintings inserted in the places prescribed by the author's stage directions. The text thus evokes the theatrical effect intended by Buero Vallejo. An appendix with reproductions of the etchings mentioned throughout the text completes the background information required to fully understand ¬and enjoy this masterpiece of Spanish theatre.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Gabriel García Márquez has been described as the greatest writer in Spanish since Cervantes, and El coronel no tiene quien le escriba is considered to be one of his best works. This reflective and atmospheric novel is set in a small Colombian town where the frustrated and stubborn Colonel, a veteran of the 'War of a Thousand Days', is still, after thirty years, waiting for the letter authorising payment of his war pension. The old soldier and his wife mourn the brutal killing of their only son, and the story of their struggle against poverty and sickness culminates in the Colonel's defiant refusal to part with his cherished fighting cock, however serious the consequences. The moving narrative pays tribute to the resilience of human nature and man's will to survive in the face of heavy odds. The novel also throws light on the turbulent religious and political troubles in Latin America. Now revised to include an updated chronology and bibliography, Giovanni Pontiero's acclaimed critical edition provides English-speaking students with an introduction to, and notes on the text, and a selected vocabulary.…
