Contemporary Cuba
This completely revised and updated edition of Contemporary Cuba focuses on Cuba since Raúl Castro stepped down as president in 2018.

Música popular bailable cubana
La actualidad, en alianza con la fundamentación teórica, es el atractivo más inmediato de Música popular bailable cubana. Letras y juicios de valor (siglos XVIII-XX) de Liliana Casanella Cué. Fruto de un estudio que recorre, en la prensa y en el entorno académico, el comportamiento histórico de la crítica a esa manifestación cultural, el libro desmitifica criterios impuestos en obediencia a prejuicios sociales (velados o abiertos) decididos por el poder –donde a lo racial corresponde la primera instancia–, y que, paradójicamente, han continuado imponiéndose, como si los sucesos acontecidos en el país en más de doscientos años no hubieran ido desdibujando las circunstancias que originaron e hicieron prevalecer tales discursos.
The Oxford Handbook of Applied Philosophy of Language
This Handbook represents a collective exploration of the emerging field of applied philosophy of language. The volume covers a broad range of areas where philosophy engages with linguistic aspects of our social world, including such hot topics as dehumanizing speech, dogwhistles, taboo language, pornography, appropriation, implicit bias, speech acts, and the ethics of communication. An international line-up of contributors adopt a variety of approaches and methods in their investigation of these linguistic phenomena, drawing on linguistics and the human and social sciences as well as on different philosophical subdisciplines. The aim is to map out fruitful areas of research and to stimulate discussion with thought-provoking essays by leading and emerging philosophers.
Educación y política...
Desde el inicio se consideró a la educación como algo fundamental de nuestro trabajo, pero no cerramos el espacio a hablar solo de la escuela. Por el contrario, vimos que todo lo relacionado con ello estaba inmerso en una confrontación política. La educación misma y sus instituciones son espacios políticos en los que se ve reflejado un pensamiento y un modo de actuar que puede repercutir directamente en la vida social. Ya no se trata de una simple sospecha ante la implantación en la consciencia de ideas rebeldes, por el contrario, lo que observa es la represión física ante un pueblo que se organiza. Por tal motivo, la idea de la educación, en sus distintas formas, siempre ha estado presente junto a la de la organización política. Es así como llegamos a este primer libro como editorial, que no podía ser de una forma distinta que recordando los trabajos en Revista nuestrAmérica en que se estudiado el tema.
The Theory of Revolution in the Young Marx
This book proposes a Marxist analysis of young Marx's intellectual evolution, from left neo-Hegelianism to his new philosophy of praxis. It distinguishes itself from most other books on the early Marx by its object - the theory of (proletarian) revolutionary self-emancipation - and its method: to understand the movement of Marx's political and philosophical ideas in relation to the most radical currents in the labour movement of his time (beginning with Chartism and the uprising of the Silesian weavers in 1844). The central theoretical argument of the author is that Marx's philosophy of praxis - first formulated in the Thesis on Feuerbach - is at the same time the founding stone of a new world view, and the methodological basis for the theory of revolutionary self-emancipation.

Sugar and the Origins of Modern Philippine Society
The sugar industry has been a vital part of the economic and social life of modern Philippine society. Under Spanish and American colonialism, sugar cultivation and export became one of the chief commercial industries in the Philippines. Both the Filipino people and the colonizing forces participated in the sugar industry; a few profited enormously. John Larkin examines how the international sugar market and local culture forged two types of society, one based on plantation agriculture, the other on tenant farming. Larkin investigates the history of the two most important sugar-producing regions, Negros Occidental and Pampanga. He depicts the impact of colonial economic forces on the rise of...
Can't Pay, Won't Pay
Debtors have been mocked, scolded and lied to for decades. We have been told that it is perfectly normal to go into debt to get medical care, to go to school, or even to pay for our own incarceration. We’ve been told there is no way to change an economy that pushes the majority of people into debt while a small minority hoard wealth and power. The coronavirus pandemic has revealed that mass indebtedness and extreme inequality are a political choice. In the early days of the crisis, elected officials drew up plans to spend trillions of dollars. The only question was: where would the money go and who would benefit from the bailout? The truth is that there has never been a lack of money for t...
