 Days
and Nights of Love and War
(New Edition) Days and Nights of Love and War is the personal testimony of one of Latin America's foremost contemporary writers. In this fascinating journal and eloquent history, Eduardo Galeano movingly documents the myriad acts of courage and resistance of the Latin American people during a period of intense violence and extreme repression. Alternating between reportage, personal vignettes, interviews, travelogues, and folklore, and richly conveyed with anger, sadness, irony, and humor, Days and Nights pays loving tribute to those who continue to believe in, and fight for, a more human existence. |

| Faces of the
Caribbean “Gilmore combines wide personal
knowledge of the Caribbean with many years’ academic study of the
region’s history, literature, and culture. This clearly written and
illuminating account provides an excellent introduction to the forces which
have shaped the Caribbean today.” Gender Politics in Latin America:
Debates in Theory and
Practice “This is a book that should inspire
enthusiasm in even the most weary or impatient student of gender. No facile
assumption goes unexamined nor partial truth left to stand.... This excellent
collection is exceptional in the range of issues it tackles and the degree of
success it achieves in challenging the ideas that have become received wisdom
in women's and gender studies.” Mexico's Hope: An Encounter with Politics and History
“Mexico's
Hope represents the most forceful analysis, and at the same time the most
sophisticated and subtle general history of Mexico available.
Mexico'sHope will no doubt become a standard in Latin American
and Mexican history courses, but labor unionists, human rights workers, social
movement activists, and anyone interested in our nearest neighbor should read
this book.” |

| Congratulations to Eduardo Galeano, “Well written and
passionately stated, this is an intellectually honest and valuable
study.” |

| Rag-Tags, Scum, Riff-Raff, and Commies: The U.S. Intervention in the Dominican Republic, 1965-1966 by Eric Thomas Chester In this fascinating account, Eric Thomas Chester makes extensive use of recently declassified diplomatic and intelligence documents to create a stunning portrait of how the U.S. government used the Dominican Republic as a tool for its imperial arrogance. Rag-Tags is a nuanced and textured study of the workings of covert and diplomatic initiatives during that period and an insightful analysis of U.S. cold war policy in the Caribbean. Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War by Che Guevara Here is a classic memoir by one of the twentieth century’s most intriguing figures. Within a year after the triumphal entry into havana at the beginning of 1959, Che Guevara began to set down the history of the guerrilla war. Fearful that the events would “dissolve into the past” and that an important part of the history of America would be lost, he urged other leaders of the Revolution to do the same, asking only “that the narrator be strictly truthful.” This fascinating account, first published in 1968, contains photographs, diagrams of several battles, and maps of the guerrilla itinerary in the Sierra Maestra. |

Shadows of Tender Fury: The Letters and Communiqués of Subcomandante Marcos and the Zapatista Army of National Liberation “I did not expect
such imagination or clarity from a Subcomandante, nor did I expect the fine
sense of Humor which enriches his writing. He writes with a fine passion for
justice but also with unusual compassion for his adversaries. No boring
political rhetoric or pompous academic cant. Subcomandante Marcos uses
stories—ancient as well as recent—to reveal the origins of the 1994
Zapatista uprising.... Shadows of Tender Fury is essential
reading.” |
