De nuevo en Gran Bretaña tras su heroica intervención en las guerras zulúes, el oficial George Hart, a quien aún atormentan sus dudas acerca de quién es su padre, es convocado a una enigmática reunión en la que se encuentra con el mismísimo Primer Ministro. Pero no descubrirá todavía quién es su progenitor. Debido al color de su piel, ha sido elegido para llevar a cabo una misión secreta en Afganistán, donde los servicios secretos británicos han descubierto un plan del fundamentalismo islámico para expulsar a las fuerzas occidentales, lo que pone en serio riesgo los intereses británicos en la India, la joya de la corona. La misión de Hart consiste en robar uno de los símbolos más importantes del islamismo, la Capa del Profeta. Una vez en Afganistán, se enfrenta a una muy arriesgada aventura, pero lo que le pondrá entre la espada y la pared será empezar a pensar por sí mismo y plantearse un irresoluble dilema entre mantenerse fiel a su conciencia o ser leal la Corona.

El prestigioso sociólogo Michael Mann argumenta en este libro que, en realidad, el «nuevo imperialismo estadounidense» no es más que un nuevo militarismo. Tras analizar los recursos económicos, políticos, militares e ideológicos de que dispone Estados Unidos, Mann llega a la conclusión de que son tan desiguales que sólo pueden dar lugar a un «imperio incoherente» y a un creciente desorden mundial. Estados Unidos es un gigante militar, aunque parece más cómodo devastando países que pacificándolos. Sufre de esquizofrenia política y de una personalidad dividida entre el multilateralismo, el unilateralismo y una evidente incapacidad para gobernar otros países o para controlar a sus supuestos Estados clientes. Se ha instalado en el asiento de atrás de la economía global. No puede conducirla y, aun así, empuja a los países pobres hacia un neoliberalismo improductivo e impopular. Por último, es un espectro ideológico que proclama al mundo los atractivos valores de la libertad, la democracia y la abundancia material en una brutal contradicción con su militarismo. El imperio incoherente también es analizado en plena acción, en Afganistán y en el transcurso de la guerra contra el terrorismo y contra los «Estados canallas», especialmente Corea del Norte e Irak. Su estrategia parece encaminarse únicamente a crear un mayor número de terroristas internacionales y a aumentar los deseos de algunos de adquirir armas de destrucción masiva, lo cual está provocando una verdadera «cruzada» contra los musulmanes. Mann sostiene que el mundo se convertirá en un lugar cada vez más peligroso si Estados Unidos no abandona esta trayectoria y adopta las estrategias de liderazgo global más realistas expuestas en este libro.

In the great barranca known today as Copper Canyon, the small mining town of Batopilas once experienced a silver bonanza among the largest ever known. American investors, believing that Mexico offered an unexploited cornucopia, began purchasing mines in the Sierra Madre, seeking to expand their hold on natural resources outside U.S. borders. From 1861 until the Revolution of 1910, the men of the Batopilas Mining Company ruled the region using their wealth, armed might, and extensive connections. The technology, industrialism, and politics their interests brought to this remote community tied the Tarahumara, Yaqui, Mayo, and other peoples of the barrancas directly to the economies of the United States and China. Local society was revolutionized, and a dramatic tapestry of human interactions was created. Based on many volumes of mining company records, The Silver of the Sierra Madre exposes the mentality and methods of mine owners John Robinson and Alexander “Boss” Shepherd, vividly detailing their exploitation of the people and the natural resources of Chihuahua. Hart aptly demonstrates the human and financial losses resulting from President Porfirio Díaz’s development programs, which relied on foreign investors, foreign managers, and foreign technology. This unprecedented work also provides a highly interesting ethnographic and social description of one of the least-known areas of Mexico. It is a tale of power and desperation, respect and arrogance, adventure and tragedy, and, ultimately, triumph and survival.

El filósofo y jurista americano Ronald Dworkin (1931-2013) presenta en este libro, una de las obras cumbre de la teoría del derecho actual, la articulación más acabada de su pensamiento jurídico. Esta nueva edición incluye también un estudio preliminar firmado por Juan Iosa y Pablo A. Rapetti, «El imperio del desacuerdo», que contribuye a dimensionar y a reivindicar las aportaciones de Dworkin en su crítica al positivismo jurídico y su propia concepción del derecho. Vivimos según el derecho. El derecho nos convierte en lo que somos: ciudadanos y empleados, doctores y cónyuges, personas que poseen cosas. El derecho es espada, escudo y amenaza: reclamamos nuestro salario, nos negamos a pagar el alquiler, debemos afrontar multas o nos encierran en la cárcel, todo en nombre de lo que este etéreo y abstracto soberano ha ordenado. «¿Cómo puede mandar el derecho cuando los textos legales son silenciosos, confusos o ambiguos?», se pregunta el autor. Este libro despliega en toda su extensión la respuesta que Dworkin desarrolló a lo largo de los años: que el razonamiento jurídico es un ejercicio de interpretación constructiva, que nuestro derecho consiste en la mejor justificación de nuestras prácticas jurídicas como un todo —la narración que convierte a estas prácticas en lo mejor que pueden ser—.

In all parts of the world and in every age, many of the greatest works of literature have been shaped or inspired by the swirl of historical events. The wars, holocausts, and mushroom clouds of our own era haunt the pages of many twentieth-century writers; events of the past, even the remote past, also inspire many authors, though their work is contemporary in every way. And if we agree with the poet Czeslaw Milosz that "historicity may reveal itself in a detail of architecture, in the shaping of a landscape," we come to recognize that our understanding of a given poem or novel can often be deepened by a reading from this point of view. The essayists in Literature and the Historical Process explore the ways in which history and literature are intertwined in the works of a number of twentieth-century writers. These probing critical readings from the historical point of view not only enlighten us about the works under consideration but, especially when taken together, enrich our understanding of the literary impulse itself. In "Nature, History, and Art in Elizabeth Bishop's 'Brazil, January 1, 1502,'" for example, Barbara Page shows how Bishop "used and rearranged" knowledge derived from her study of Brazil's history. Page's somewhat feminist reading may surprise those who find Bishop's poetic persona hard to identify. Among the other authors considered are Jorge Luis Borges, Michel de Ghelderode, Elizabeth Bowen, Rose Macauley, Anthony Burgess, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Cesare Pavese, and Czeslaw Milosz.

The failure to manage cultural diversity in Morocco and Equatorial Guinea in an egalitarian manner has been linked to the hallmark of colonialism. First, because the policy practiced upon Arabs and Moroccan Imazighen since the French colonization comprised one of the reasonings employed to justify the pro-Arab policies developed after independence. Second, because the discriminatory policy deployed by Spain in Equatorial Guinea, was overridden by the installation of a dictatorship that established a system of Fang predominance. This book clarifies the degree to which the Spanish colonization is responsible for the present-day management of cultural diversity in both countries.

This volume is the second part of a project which hosts an interdisciplinary discussion about the relationship among law and language, legal practice and ordinary conversation, legal philosophy and the linguistics sciences. An international group of authors, from cognitive science, philosophy of language and philosophy of law question about how legal theory and pragmatics can enrich each other. In particular, the first part is devoted to the analysis of how pragmatics can solve problems related to legal theory: What can pragmatics teach about the concept of law and its relationship with moral, and, in particular, about the eternal dispute between legal positivism and legal naturalism? What can pragmatics teach about the concept of law and/or legal disagreements? The second part is focused on legal adjudication: it aims to construct a pragmatic apparatus appropriate to legal trial and/or to test the tenure of the traditional pragmatics tools in the field. The authors face questions such as: Which interesting pragmatic features emerge from legal adjudication? What pragmatic theories are better suited to account for the practice of judgment or its particular aspects (such as the testimony or the binding force of legal precedents)? Which pragmatic and socio-linguistic problems are highlighted by this practice?
