Hijos de la sombra
by Graciela RamosTres jóvenes de un pequeño pueblo comienzan a ser abusados por el nuevo cura del lugar, hecho que los transformó para siempre. El silencio ensombreció a los tres amigos, que debieron empezar a reconstruirse. En la década de los 70, Agustín, Diego y Marcos llevaban la vida de cualquier chico en un pueblo pequeño y perdido de la Argentina. Entrando en la adolescencia, esa amistad era todo lo que tenían: refugio, contención, apoyo, compañerismo. Pero la llegada de un nuevo cura los transformó para siempre: de manera abierta, empezó a abusar de ellos sistemáticamente. El silencio, por acción o por omisión, fue ensombreciendo a los tres amigos, que nunca más fueron los mismos. Aunque, a veces, es posible reconstruirse desde los escombros. Con esta novela, Graciela Ramos se aleja de las historias románticas y se sumerge en una trama donde la época juega un rol fundamental. Porque no solo los protagonistas fueron arrastrados hacia la oscuridad más profunda, sino que también un país atravesaba una de las épocas más negras de su historia. Y así, de alguna manera, todos somos hijos de la sombra.

Hijos sin padre: Ensayo sobre el espíritu de una generación
by Carlos PeñaUna contundente crítica sobre los factores políticos y sociales que Chile todavía no resuelve. ¿Qué ha ocurrido (en términos culturales, políticos y sociales) en nuestro país durante los últimos treinta años? El proceso de modernización capitalista que Chile emprendió finalizada la dictadura ha sido exitoso en términos de mejoras de las condiciones materiales de la existencia, pero al mismo tiempo es vista como una pérdida de arraigo de las formas de vida más tradicionales, aquellas que responden al tipo de "comunidad". Cohesión social, seguridad, equidad, una nueva cultura del trabajo, mejor democracia y menos policy making, confianza y anomía. Son estos conceptos los que articulan el pormenorizado análisis que Carlos Peña, el intelectual más discutido y leído actualmente en Chile, identifica como las causas del malestar y explica los cambios que ha tenido el país desde el malestar de 2019 al fracaso del plebiscito de 2022. Una advertencia a la clase política y empresarial para que oriente de mejor modo los esfuerzos que supone mejorar las condiciones de vida de la ciudadanía.

Hillary Clinton in the News: Gender and Authenticity in American Politics
by Shawn J. Parry-GilesThe charge of inauthenticity has trailed Hillary Clinton from the moment she entered the national spotlight and stood in front of television cameras. Hillary Clinton in the News: Gender and Authenticity in American Politics shows how the U.S. news media created their own news frames of Clinton's political authenticity and image-making, from her participation in Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign through her own 2008 presidential bid. Using theories of nationalism, feminism, and authenticity, Parry-Giles tracks the evolving ways the major networks and cable news programs framed Clinton's image as she assumed roles ranging from surrogate campaigner, legislative advocate, and financial investor to international emissary, scorned wife, and political candidate. This study magnifies how the coverage that preceded Clinton's entry into electoral politics was grounded in her earliest presence in the national spotlight, and in long-standing nationalistic beliefs about the boundaries of authentic womanhood and first lady comportment. Once Clinton dared to cross those gender boundaries and vie for office in her own right, the news exuded a rhetoric of sexual violence. These portrayals served as a warning to other women who dared to enter the political arena and violate the protocols of authentic womanhood.

Hillary: The Politics of Personal Destruction
by David BossieIt's not a stretch to say that more has been written about Hillary, pro and con, than probably any other living American politician. So in the build-up to the 2008 presidential election, what is not needed is just another book about Candidate Hillary. Fortunately, this exposé is much more-a hybrid product that includes not only cutting-edge reporting, revealing facts and fictions about the junior senator from New York, but does it in a dual book-and-movie format. David N. Bossie, former chief investigator for the US House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, reveals all the must-know details about Hillary's life and career, exposing the truth about her conflicts in the past and her liberal plot for the future.

Hillbilly Highway: The Transappalachian Migration and the Making of a White Working Class (Politics and Society in Modern America #157)
by Max Fraser&“The best book to explain the world J. D. Vance came from is Max Fraser&’s Hillbilly Highway.&”—Jessica Wilkerson, author of To Live Here, You Have to Fight: How Women Led Appalachian Movements for Social JusticeOver the first two-thirds of the twentieth century, as many as eight million whites left the economically depressed southern countryside and migrated to the booming factory towns and cities of the industrial Midwest in search of work. The "hillbilly highway" was one of the largest internal relocations of poor and working people in American history, yet it has largely escaped close study by historians. In Hillbilly Highway, Max Fraser recovers the long-overlooked story of this massive demographic event and reveals how it has profoundly influenced American history and culture—from the modern industrial labor movement and the postwar urban crisis to the rise of today&’s white working-class conservatives.The book draws on a diverse range of sources—from government reports, industry archives, and union records to novels, memoirs, oral histories, and country music—to narrate the distinctive class experience that unfolded across the Transappalachian migration during these critical decades. As the migration became a terrain of both social advancement and marginalization, it knit together white working-class communities across the Upper South and the Midwest—bringing into being a new cultural region that remains a contested battleground in American politics to the present.The compelling story of an important and neglected chapter in American history, Hillbilly Highway upends conventional wisdom about the enduring political and cultural consequences of the great migration of white southerners in the twentieth century.
Hillel Steiner and the Anatomy of Justice: Themes and Challenges (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy)
by Ian Carter Stephen De Wijze Matthew H. KramerThroughout the English-speaking world, and in the many other countries where analytic philosophy is studied, Hillel Steiner is esteemed as one of the foremost contemporary political philosophers. This volume is designed as a festschrift for Steiner and as an important collection of philosophical essays in its own right. The editors have assembled a roster of highly distinguished international contributors, all of whom are eager to pay tribute to Steiner by focusing on topics on which he himself has concentrated. Some of the contributors engage directly with Steiner's work, whereas others focus not directly on his writings but instead grapple with issues that have figured prominently therein. Each essay seeks to advance the debates in which Steiner himself has so notably participated. The study concludes with a response by Steiner himself.

Himmler según la correspondencia con su esposa (1927-1945)
by Michael Himmler Katrin WildtEl retrato íntimo de Heinrich Himmler, funesto jefe de las SS y padre de la Solución Final, a través de las cartas con su mujer.Durante años se pensó que las cartas de Himmler a su esposa Marga se habían perdido definitivamente. Sesenta años después del suicidio de éste, reaparecieron en Tel Aviv, y hoy nos permiten sumergirnos de una forma inédita en la vida privada, y en la mente, de una de las figuras más importantes del régimen nazi. Frente a la idea generalizada de que, tras su nombramiento como Reichsführer SS, Heinrich Himmler se «fundió» sin más en la organización, sus cartas revelan su estrecha relación con Hitler desde los años veinte y confirman que era el gran ideador de la Solución Final.El que fue uno de los mayores criminales del siglo XX era un hombre que se debatía entre la banalidad y la vanidad, entre la distancia y la cercanía con su familia, preocupado por construirse una esfera privada armoniosa al tiempo que organizaba, de manera cotidiana, la persecución y el exterminio en masa.En su última carta, del 17 de abril de 1945, Himmler se despide con un «Heil Hitler! Con amor, vuestro papi». Por aquellos días, a espaldas del Fürher, se esforzaba por negociar secretamente con los aliados. Unos días más tarde, el 22 de mayo, ingirió una cápsula de cianuro que le permitió eludir su comparecencia ante los vencedores.
Himmler's SS: Loyal to the Death's Head
by Robin LumsdenThe real story of the SS, unlike its popular mythology, is so complex as to almost defy belief: it is a tale of intrigue and nepotism, of archaeology and Teutonism, of art and symbolism.Himmler's SS is a story of street fighters and convicted criminals becoming Ministers of State and police commanders; the story of charitable works and mass extermination being administered from the same building; the story of boy generals directing vast heterogeneous armies on devastating campaigns of conquest. Here, indeed, fact is stranger than fiction. Himmler's SS looks at the wide-ranging effects that the SS had on the Police, racial policies, German history, education, the economy and public life, as well as the uniforms and regalia which were carefully designed to set Himmler's men apart as the new elite in Third Reich society. Fully illustrated, this book is an authoritative history of the SS and as such will appeal to all with an interest in Hitler's Third Reich.
