The Making and Influence of I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang
Robert E. Burns, a World War I veteran coerced into taking part in a petty crime in Atlanta, Georgia, was sentenced to hard labor on a chain gang in 1922. Twice escaping and on the lam for decades, he was aided only by his minister-poet brother, Vincent G. Burns. Their collaborative work, I Am a Fugitive from a Georgia Chain Gang! was the basis for Darryl F. Zanuck's and Mervyn Leroy's hard-hitting 1932 film adaptation from Warner Bros. This book traces the making and influence of the film--which launched a string of imitators--and the Burns brothers' efforts to obtain a pardon for Robert, which never came.

The Invention of the Colonial Americas
The story of Seville’s Archive of the Indies reveals how current views of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are based on radical historical revisionism in Spain in the late 1700s. The Invention of the Colonial Americas is an architectural history and mediaarchaeological study of changing theories and practices of government archives in Enlightenment Spain. It centers on an archive created in Seville for storing Spain’s pre-1760 documents about the New World. To fill this new archive, older archives elsewhere in Spain—spaces in which records about American history were stored together with records about European history—were dismembered. The Archive of the Indies thus constructe...
Behind Spanish American Footlights
Across a five-hundred-year sweep of history, Willis Knapp Jones surveys the native drama and the Spanish influence upon it in nineteen South American countries, and traces the development of their national theatres to the 1960s. This volume, filled with a fascinating array of information, sparkles with wit while giving the reader a fact-filled course in the history of Spanish American drama that he can get nowhere else. This is the first book in English ever to consider the theatre of all the Spanish American countries. Even in Spanish, the pioneer study that covers the whole field was also written by Jones. Jones sees the history of a nation in the history of its drama. Pre-Columbian Indian...
El cuidado de la persona en el servicio de autoridad al estilo de los jesuitas
Ser una autoridad no es una tarea sencilla. En este cuaderno, el autor comparte principios y líneas de acción vinculados a la forma de gobernar en las instituciones educativas a cargo de la Compañía de Jesús, con especial énfasis en cuatro elementos que considera fundamentales para que esta misión sea gratificante: Conocimiento de sí mismo, ya que para dirigir a otros hay que empezar por saber cómo dirigirse a uno; ingenio, que involucra tener la capacidad de innovar de manera confiada y de adaptarse a un mundo cambiante; amor, pues se trabaja con personas, a las que hay que tratar con respeto, comprensión y paciencia, pero también con firmeza, para desatar su potencial; y Magis, que implica el siempre buscar y dar lo mejor. Asimismo, recalca que el ejercicio de autoridad se debe ver siempre como un servicio, en el que hay que privilegiar la cura personalis (el cuidado de las personas) en modo de acompañamiento, no de imposición, con diálogo, libertad y mutua confianza. Actitud que, asegura Orozco Hernández, permitirá sumar fuerzas y alcanzar tanto el bien individual como el bien colectivo, así como afrontar los retos del futuro. (ITESO)
