Latina Activists across Borders. Women’s Grassroots Organizing in Mexico and Texas. MILAGROS PEÑA: Durham & London: Duke University Press, 2007.
Authors: Llona Miren 
Published: February 2024

La importancia del surgimiento de los llamados movimientos de mujeres de base para el desarrollo del movimiento feminista y de los derechos humanos a lo largo de los cinco continentes ha sido puesta de relieve por historiadoras tan importantes como Temma Kaplan a partir de su libro Crazy for Democracy, Women in Grassroots Movements. La aplicación de los conceptos deconciencia femenina y de intereses prácticos de género ha permitido comprender la forma en que las mujeres, en diferentes momentos históricos y lugares geográficos, asumen autoridad y son capaces no sólo de plantear sus objetivos particulares, sino de hablar y de representar a la totalidad de la comunidad.
The Coolie Speaks: Chinese Indentured Laborers and African Slaves in Cuba. LISA YUN: Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2008.
Authors: Chollett Donna L. 
Published: February 2024

Lisa Yun's book The Coolie Speaks: Chinese IndenturedLaborers and African Slaves in Cuba is an extraordinary exemplar of scholarshipthat examines the under-investigated and often misunderstood phenomenon ofChinese coolie servitude in Cuba.The book interrogates liberal philosophies and modernist epistemologies, andoffers new theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches that shatterlong-held notions of the labor "contract." Yun's analysis explores a uniquebody of 2,841 testimonies and petitions by Chinese coolies compiled in the 1876Report of the Commission Sent by Chinato Ascertain the Condition of Chinese Coolies in Cuba.
Una intifada literaria. Mahfud Massís: El poeta palestino-chileno
Authors: El Attar Hebat-Allah A 
Published: February 2024

En este ensayo abordo la obra del poeta palestino-chileno Mahfud Massís, que encarna un tipo de intifada (resistencia y subversión) literaria frente a los distintos riesgos a los que la asimilación del castellano expuso a los inmigrantes árabes en América Latina. Etimológicamente, el término intifada se originó en el discurso político para referirse a la subversión y resistencia palestinas en los territorios ocupados, específicamente desde el año 2000. Es una palabra derivada del verbo árabe int-ta-fa-da, que significa ‘arrojar violentamente de sí', tanto voluntaria como instintivamente. Uso este término aquí en referencia a la obra de Mahfud Massís porque, a pesar de escrita décadas antes de la intifada palestina, concuerda con ésta en principio. Igual que la sublevación palestina en contra de la situación socio-política en la Franja de Gaza y Cisjordania, la obra de Massís se considera una reacción/resistencia sea a los retos encarados por las primeras generaciones de árabes en América Latina, sea a la situación política deteriorada en el mundo árabe en general y su país de origen en particular.
Tree of Hate: Propaganda and Prejudices Affecting United States Relations with the Hispanic World. PHILIP WAYNE POWELL: Albuquerque, NM: University of New Mexico Press, 2008
Authors: Brenner Philip , Skinner C. Althea 
Published: February 2024

In Tree of Hate, Philip Wayne Powell purportedly intends to uproot the "tree of hate" which he argues has distorted relations between the United States and the Hispanic world. Yet the author displays a remarkable insensitivity to his own prejudices and distortions, which ultimately reduces his work to little more than a useless polemic.When Powell first published the book in 1971, Latin America was undergoing a transformation from a mostly democratic region to one dominated by brutal tyrannies. Powell devotes little attention to this context. But it seems to provide the raison d'être for the book, as he plaintively urges the reader to overlook Franco's atrocities and those of Latin American governments as not reflective of true Spanish character.
Enterprise and Politics: The Narrow Course of the Water Services of Lima, Peru
Authors: Ioris Antonio 
Published: February 2024

The attainment of universal and reliable public services constitutes and old promise of Latin American governments since the early days of independence. After nearly two centuries of history, however, the situation is still one of marked inequalities, patchy coverage and controversial handling of public matters. Despite political agreement about the importance of public water services, the region is unlikely to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by the deadline of 2015.
Identidades multifocales en Vientos de agua (2005): La emigración en el pasado y en el presente
Authors: Berger Verena 
Published: February 2024

La miniserie televisiva Vientos de agua (2005), de Juan José Campanella, director de éxito del cine argentino conocido por películas como El hijo de la novia (2001), Luna de Avellaneda (2004) o El secreto de sus ojos (2009), es una coproducción argentino-española, realizada por el canal televisivo español Telecinco e Icónica Producciones, así como por las empresas argentinas 100 Bares Producciones y Pol-ka Producciones, en asociación con el Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales (INCAA) (Lamazares 2005).[1] De allí surge un “producto cultural híbrido” (Shohat/Stam 1994: 205), lo que en la actualidad se define como cine transnacional (Ezra/Rowden 2006: 4). Como realizador transnacional de cine y televisión, Campanella no solamente conoce los mercados audiovisuales de Argentina y de España, sino también aquel de los EE.UU., donde se graduó en la Escuela de Cine de la Universidad de Nueva York y ha seguido trabajando en series americanas reconocidas como Law & Order (2000-2010) o Dr. House (2007-2010). Fue en Nueva York donde le surgió la idea para el guion de Vientos de agua, inspirándose en la historia de su propio abuelo, un asturiano emigrado a Buenos Aires y casado con una gallega (Baragaño 2005; Wurgaft 2006), y en su propia biografía. De ahí que la miniserie de Campanella se convierta en “cine transnacional”, término aplicado a películas que, según Will Higbee y Song Hwee Lim (2010: 9), por un lado traspasan lo nacional a nivel de producción, distribución y exhibición, y por el otro integran herencias culturales o tratan temas como la migración, el exilio, la diáspora, así como cuestiones de etnicidad e identidad.

Published: February 2024

The edited volume Securing the City addresses both a timely topic (Guatemala’s spectacular levels of personal and community insecurity) and a highly under-ethnographed region (in anthropologist-saturated Guatemala!), Guatemala City. Guatemala, after earning the title of genocidal state, now joins Honduras and El Salvador to form the Northern Triangle of the world’s most violent states.
The All-Meaning Middle and the Alchemy of Class
Authors: Parker David S. 
Published: February 2024

The last several years have been particularly active ones in the on-again off-again discussion among economists and sociologists, primarily, about the size of the global middle class, its impact on world markets, and its likely contribution to entrepreneurial innovation and global prospects of democracy. One need only survey the production of OECD and World Bank working papers and Economist and Foreign Policy articles published over the last three to five years to see that something of note is happening.
From Middle Class to Petit Bourgeoisie: Cold War Politics and Classed Radicalization in Bogotá, 1958–1972
Authors: López Ricardo 
Published: February 2024

As part of a transnational politicization of everyday life during the 1960s in Colombia, many professionals, white-collar employees, and small business owners experienced a radical political change in their lives. Although intimately connected with developmental programs such as the Alliance for Progress, they began to question their political and social identifications as middle class in an effort to redefine what they thought their role should be in a changing society. Some of these radicalized members of the middle classes recall the second half of the 1960s as the moment when they became aware of who they really were, the moment when they drastically changed what they thought, felt, and dreamt.
DANIEL GOLDSTEIN: Outlawed: Between Security and Rights in a Bolivian City. Durham and London: Duke University Press 2012.
Authors: Lazar Sian 
Published: February 2024

This book is a study of security and community justice in a recently-settled barrio of Cochabamba, in Bolivia. It is engaging, well-written, honest, and illuminating; and it is extremely rich in the debates that it tackles. A short review cannot do full justice to its wealth of ideas and arguments, so instead I present reflections on some key elements.
JORGE NALLÍM: Transformations and Crisis of Liberalism in Argentina, 1930-1955. Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2012.
Authors: Milanesio Natalia 
Published: February 2024

En tanto ideología dominante en Argentina entre mediados del siglo XIX –después de la caída de Juan Manuel de Rosas– y 1930, el liberalismo ha sido un objeto de estudio privilegiado por historiadores políticos y de las ideas. Jorge Nallím, sin embargo, se aproxima al tema desde un lugar diferente y generalmente ignorado: su libro se concentra en el período entre 1930 y 1955, que fue inaugurado por el golpe de estado que depuso al presidente radical Hipólito Yrigoyen y concluyó con el golpe militar contra Juan Domingo Perón.

Perón y el peronismo un ensayo bibliográfico
Authors: PLOTKIN MARIANO BEN 
Published: February 2024

El triunfo peronista en las elecciones presidenciales argentinas de 1989, y el espectacular cambio de rumbo que el presidente Carlos Menem le dio subsecuentemente a su gobierno, pusieron el problema del peronismo nuevamente en el foco de atención de académicos, periodistas y políticos interesados en la Argentina. Nuevas preguntas acerca de la naturaleza del peronismo, su capacidad de adaptarse a la cambiante realidad política argentina, sus transformaciones y su lugar en el sistema político del país, parecen haber adquirido nueva relevancia, como lo ha mostrado la conferencia que, sobre estos temas, tuvo lugar en la Universidad de Harvard en abril de 1990 . Pero para dar una respuesta adecuada a estas preguntas, tal vez sea necesario analizar el "peronismo original" de las dos primeras presidencias de Juan Domingo Perón desde nuevas perspectivas. En este ensayo me propongo pasar revista a las diferentes interpretaciones del (primer) peronismo que han aparecido desde la caída del gobierno de Perón en 1955. No tengo la pretensión (ni podría tenerla) de hacer una revisión exhaustiva de todo el material publicado sobre el tema en los últimos treinta y cinco años. Voy a centrar mi atención en aquellos trabajos que, bajo mi punto de vista, han abierto nuevos caminos o han ofrecido perspectivas particularmente interesantes para este complejo tema - el peronismo -, que es sin duda uno de los más relevantes de la historia argentina del siglo XX.
Hispanidad y oportunismo político el caso peronista
Authors: REIN RAANAN 
Published: February 2024

En los años 1946-49 el régimen de Juan Domingo Perón fue uno de los pocos aliados de la dictadura española del General Francisco Franco, que después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial se hallaba aislada en el escenario mundial. En esos mismos años, el régimen de Perón hizo aún más profusos sus elogios a las relaciones de su país y de toda América Latina con la Madre Patria, destacando que, a menos que el continente reconociera sus verdaderas raíces, las hispánicas, no podría pavimentarse su camino en el futuro y cumplir un importante papel en el escenario internacional. ¿Acaso toda la retórica con que encomió las relaciones históricas, culturales, idiomáticas, de religión y de sangre no fue sino la justificación ideológica de sus relaciones políticas con la dictadura española, tan impopular en el continente en esa época, o es posible considerar sus declaraciones también en función de los esfuerzos realizados por Perón para implantar una nueva conciencia nacional, tal que requiriera el desconectarse de la orientación tradicional de la Argentina moderna hacia el capitalismo anglosajón y la cultura francesa? ¿No es posible que, al intentar desembarazarse de los opresivos lazos neo-coloniales, Perón estaba dispuesto a volver al remoto e inocuo pasado colonial, forjando una identidad nacional de la que el Hispanismo, o la Hispanidad , era uno de sus componentes esenciales?
La contrarrevolución en el exilio: Clérigos y conservadores ecuatorianos en Pasto en los primeros años de la Revolución liberal ecuatoriana, 1895-1902
Authors: Medina Alexis 
Published: February 2024

El artículo busca analizar las prácticas políticas de los conservadores
y clérigos ecuatorianos exiliados en Pasto en los primeros años de la Revolución
liberal, las cuales iban desde las expediciones armadas hasta una
intensa actividad editorial. La experiencia del exilio contribuyó a redefinir el
conservadurismo ecuatoriano, pero también reveló la porosidad de la frontera
entre Ecuador y Colombia y el carácter transnacional del enfrentamiento
entre conservadores y liberales en los países andinos en el siglo XIX.
Legitimidad y poder políticos frente a las herencias autoritarias. Transición y consolidación democrática en América Latina
Authors: Sznajder Mario 
Published: February 2024

Desde principios de la década del 80, América Latina ha entrado en una etapa de transición de gobiernos y regímenes autoritarios a gobiernos y regímenes democráticos. El concepto América Latina en sí presenta serias dificultades al ser usado para analizar el proceso de transición y consolidación democrática. Es prácticamente imposible comparar el desarrollo del proceso político en varios de los países de América Central o el Caribe, cuyas experiencias de desarrollo democrático, en el plano político, son inexistentes o muy limitadas, con países como Uruguay y Chile, en los cuales estructuras políticas democráticas han sido la norma en la mayor parte de su experiencia de vida independiente. También es difícil comparar las problemáticas socio- económicas de países que han vivido cierto grado de industrialización, como Argentina, Brasil y México, con aquéllos cuyas economías y sociedades siguen centradas alrededor de una estructura casi totalmente agrícola, como Haití, Honduras o Paraguay. Ambos factores - el político estructural y el socio- económico - inciden seriamente en el desarrollo de las relaciones entre sociedad y estado.

Introducción
Authors: Mraz John 
Published: February 2024

A few years ago, using the concept "visual culture" would probably have resulted in confusion (and consternation) rather than communication. That has changed. As Susan Buck-Morss remarked, "Visual culture, once a foreigner to the academy, has gotten its green card and is here to stay." Today, the study of modes and techniques of visual address is fundamental to thinking critically about the times in which we find ourselves, and crucial for an education relevant to a world undergoing an "image revolution" on a scale so unprecedented that we are warned about the dangers of "hypervisuality". Indeed, the incipient development of visual studies programs has been a direct - if tardy - reaction to the hegemony of images in contemporary society. The power exercised by the myriad pictures which inundate our daily lives has generally received little attention in academia because they are produced by new and/or "unrespectable" media: photography, film, video, cartoons, advertising, computers, etc.
Civilization or Reform? "Civilizing" Rio: Reform and Resistance in a Brazilian City, 1889-1930
Authors: Dávila Walter J. 
Published: February 2024

THERESA A.MEADE: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1997 "Day by day Rio's citizens watched as the allocation of the capital's space reflected the divisions that had always separated the population by class, by privilege, by race, and, now more than ever, by culture." (p. 94) Rio de Janeiro's entrance into the twentieth century set the stage for decades of growing physical, economic and political distance between the city's elites and its working poor. The city and federal governments embarked on urban beautification and sanitation projects intended to create a European metropolis out of the tropical port city. These reforms further marginalized the poor, who were bullied into compliance with health programs, exiled to squalid suburbs as their tenements were condemned, and alternatively ignored or bilked by the foreign companies charged with building the city's water, lighting and transportation infrastructure. The city's projects presaged a long history of public policies justified as universal goods, but benefiting a privileged minority.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Amblyopia is reduction of best corrected visual acuity in one or both eyes that cannot exclusively be attributed to structural abnormality of the eye. It can be better treated if diagnosed early in life. Fixation preference is assessed in Vertical prism dissociation test (VPDT) to predict amblyopia while in Worth 4 dot test (W4DT) degree of suppression is detected which tell us the presence of amblyopia.
Objective: The objectives of this study were mainly, to assess the efficacy of Worth 4 dot test and Vertical prism dissociation test in screening of amblyopia in School going children and to screen the prevalence of amblyopia.
Methods: It was a Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from October 2020 to June 2021 at three Government Schools of Faisalabad, Pakistan. Non-probability random sampling Technique was used to screen out 400 subjects. All subjects were equally screened out with the help of VPDT and W4D test. Data was analyzed through chi-square and cross tabulation by using SPSS software version 20. Both VPD test and W4D test were performed in which fixation pattern and suppression were documented on self-designed proforma.
Results: There was a good agreement between qualitative measures of fixation pattern with VPDT and suppression with W4DT for the clinical determination of amblyopia (p < 0.005).
Conclusion: This study concluded that the prevalence of amblyopia was 8% in school going children and there was significant relationship in success rates and reliability of vertical prism dissociation test and worth four dot test in screening of amblyopia (p=0.00).

Published: February 2024

Objective: To determine the frequency of optical refractive changes (myopia, hypermetropia) during third trimester of pregnancy.
Material and method: This cross-sectional study recruited 86 participants who had pregnancy in third trimester of mean age 25 to 40 years of age and who are not diabetic, hypertensive and spectacle users in Eye OPD of Shalamar Hospital, Lahore. Their visual acuity for distance was determined by Snellen chart and Retinoscope. Chi-square was used for the comparison of qualitative variables.
Results: VA and refractive errors are the physiological changes during pregnancy, they are mostly transient and resolved after postpartum. The results of this study showed the frequency of myopia was 91.9% and hypermetropia was 8.1%. So, the myopia was the refractive error that is mostly reported during third trimester of pregnancy with symptoms of blurred vision, headache, itching.
Conclusion: Pregnancy causes refractive error and progressive reduction in visual acuity for distance and there is slight change in visual acuity for near. Myopia was the commonest refractive error during third trimester of pregnancy. The main symptoms reported during third trimester of pregnancy were blurred vision, itching and headache.
