Description
El peronismo es protagonista central de la realidad nacional desde hace casi ochenta años. El origen del movimiento político más importante de la historia argentina se encuentra en la Revolución de 1943. Una equivocación corriente es atribuir al levantamiento militar cierta afinidad con el nazismo o el fascismo. Lejos de ser una copia de experiencias foráneas, fue producto de una combinación de causas ligadas a particularidades de la realidad...

"BITTER RAINBOWS" fearlessly probes the dark intersection of gay history and contemporary politics. It proves that in many ways, the contemporary gay rights movement is driven only by hatred of conservatism and religion. A virtual compendium of gay venom, Marisa concludes that homosexuality is nothing to be particularly proud of (but such feelings are illegal to publish or speak in many of the world's outposts already).

Hasta hoy la justicia argentina tuvo el mérito de investigar los delitos de sangre cometidos durante la última dictadura, pero dejó fuera del radar a los actores económicos que la promovieron, es decir, a las personas, instituciones y empresas que suministraron bienes y servicios al gobierno o que obtuvieron beneficios a cambio de apoyar la ejecución del plan criminal. Muchas de ellas son en la actualidad actores civiles y económicos de peso,...

I first had the notion to write this book as an oppositional force to any corrupt leaderships, be it in American government, law officials, business workers, or simple young adults on a playground. The full description of the book is written belowȘ
From the very base level of society, in our children who are still learning how to walk, to our teachers and caretakers along with our family members, there is a constant, inherent motivation to succeed....

A provocative examination of how communications has shaped the language of the media, and vice versa, and how rhetoric shapes how Canadians thinks of themselves as a nation and Canada's engagement in peacekeeping, war, and on the international stage. According to Richler, each phase of engagement in Afghanistan has been shaped not only by rhetoric but an overarching narrative structure. This topic is very much in discussion at the moment. With the...

Come from the Shadows is not about the Afghanistan we may think we know. It is not about the country depicted in urgent dispatches from embedded reporters; it isn't about the country evoked by anti-war protestors or the one that figures in heated political controversies over the treatment of prisoners. Instead, this is a book about the Afghanistan that lies "outside the wire," far from the Taliban's grim desert strongholds. The country we visit with...

Bestselling author and attorney Mark W. Smith exposes the all-encompassing nature of the anti-gun lobby's attack on the right to keep and bear arms-and how it serves as a proxy to empower government to control other important aspects of our lives. Smith notes that it's no accident that the people who oppose the Second Amendment also argue for bigger government in other areas-as well as favoring sharp limits on free speech and property rights. Taken...

Written by 55 of the richest white men of early America, and signed by only 39 of them, the constitution is the sacred text of American nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth and misinformation-many Americans have opinions on the constitution but have no idea what's in it.
This book exposes the constitution for what it is—a rulebook to protect capitalism for the elites. The misplaced faith of social movements in the...
