TRUTH AND LOVE (BLACKMAN, CAROL)
In 1967, tour buses drove through the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood to see the Hippies. San Francisco of the late 1960s became legendary as the epicenter for lifestyle experimentation?including plenty of sex, a new selection of drugs, and some mighty fine rock ?n? roll.San Francisco native and journalist Carol Blackman was there, and in Truth and Love she tells the ?betcha didn?t know? stories of this exciting era in San Francisco?s history, including memories from sixty first-person interviews.While investigating the mysterious death of a pivotal figure in SF State?s student strike?a man who changed her life?Carol peels back the layers of myth to reveal the real stories of Hippies, Black Panthers, and San Franciscans who blurred the lines between the traditional and avant-garde. These folks were responsible for many ideas that were considered radical then but are now accepted as mainstream.The legend of the Summer of Love looms large, but it is the real people of the city that have had a lasting impact, with ideas that could only have been fostered by San Francisco in the late 1960s.

AMÉRICA, NUEVO MUNDO; SU PROYECCIÓN SOBRE EUROPA, VIEJO MUNDO (FORO HISPANOAMERICANO)
Se estudia la relación de la Corona española con los pueblos de América: la acción histórica de los españoles, bajo la orientación y dirección de la Corona, llevando a las tierras y los pueblos americanos, la religión, la lengua, el humanismo, la cultura, las artes, el Estado, el Derecho, el pensamiento crítico, etc. Ello constituyó un desafío creador. Al desafío corresponde una respuesta. En efecto, el mundo americano pronto origina una mímesis, dentro de la tradición occidental europea, aunque con aportaciones de notables innovaciones creadoras de excepcional importancia y densidad cultural. No es baladí que el historiador y pensador francés Alain Rouquie haya escrito un libro titulado América Latina, introducción al extremo occidente, haciendo especial referencia a las estructuras contemporáneas. El desafío europeo fue llevado a América, en primer lugar por España; la respuesta la han dado los pueblos americanos con absoluta libertad y ofreciendo caracteres de alta peculiaridad. Suele hablarse y escribirse de la influencia de Europa sobre América. La intención de este volumen es hablar de la influencia en la dirección contraria: de América sobre Europa. Los trabajos incluidos son: AMIGO VALLEJO, Carlos, La sociedad cristiana europea y la evangelización de América PÉREZ-PRENDES Y MUÑOZ DE ARRACO, José Manuel, La Europa del siglo XVI ante el descubrimiento de América RAGA GIL, José T., Corrientes doctrinales y modelos económicos. ¿Permeabilidad o aislamiento? PÉREZ-GALLEGO, Cándido, Europa en la literatura norteamericana CASTAÑEDA, Paulino, América y la Ilustración europea HERNÁNDEZ SÁNCHEZ-BARBA, Mario, Las revoluciones americanas y su influencia sobre Europa

THEIR HOME AND NATIVE LAND (MACBAIN, ROBERT)
With the skills he honed as one of Canada?s top newspaper reporters and speech writers, Toronto author Robert MacBain profiles four Ojibway communities in northwestern Ontario.? Their Home and Native Land is well-researched, well-written and tells a very compelling story. It will change the perspective most readers have on the place of the Indians in modern Canadian society.?Several individuals talk about what life was like on those reserves from the 1950s through to June, 2013, and describe how the Ojibways organized the first Indian protest march in Canadian history in 1965 and the events leading up to it.The reader is taken behind the scenes in the treaty-making process of 1871-77 with the Indians living between Thunder Bay and the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Quotes from official documents describe what Indian chiefs and representatives of the Canadian government ? not of the British Queen -- said and did during those negotiations.?The book documents the manner in which Indians who were making the transition from their lifestyle of hunting and fishing were forced off fertile land that had been

CAROLINA SUNRISE (TISDALE, THOMAS)
This book is a collection of stories told against a backdrop of the history of the early European and African migration to the South Carolina Lowcountry. While the history of how the land was settled is important as a foundation for the appreciation of the essence of the Lowcountry, the truth of human existence emerges only when the lives of the people who have inhabited it mature with the landscape. That combination defines the ever-emerging character of the place. Put another way, the raw history of the settlement of the English colony of Carolina has long been read by the world in sanitized versions. But the truth often springs from human life. These stories?some old and some new?reveal the character and soul of the Carolina Lowcountry in ways that standard history books cannot.

MENTALIDADES Y POLÍTICAS WINGKA: PUEBLO MAPUCHE, ENTRE GOLPE Y GOLPE (DE IBÁÑEZ (SAMANIEGO MESÍAS, AUGUSTO/RUIZ RODRÍGUEZ, CARLOS)
Esta obra se refiere a la "mentalidades, discursos y prácticas del Estado y la sociedad chilena ante el pueblo mapuche". Es resultado de una investigación historiográfica acerca de las relaciones entre este pueblo y el Estado y la sociedad chilenas entre los gobiernos dictatoriales de Ibañez (1927-1931) y Pinochet (1973-1990). Se evidencia en el estudio que el reiteradamente aludido "problema indígena" que el pensamiento liberal trató de encauzar secularmente hacia la "integración" del indígena en la economía, la sociedad y ciudadanía, se convierte, al final del periodo estudiado en su contrario: "el problema wingka", es decir la creciente dificultad de los poderes públicos y privados para administrar la relación entre la "sociedad mayoritaria" y identidad mapuche.
