This book provides both a historical introduction and a comparative
analysis of the five most important guerrilla movements in the
Caribbean Basin between 1959 and the 1990s, including Guatemala, El
Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia, and Puerto Rico. The authors argue
that the Cold War shaped and fueled the structure, tactics, and
ideologies of the diverse movements taking place for the
revolutionary cause, and address the particular impact that the
Cuban Revolution had on the region. The first chapter of Caribbean
Revolutions provides an introduction to the Cuban Revolution, the
Cold War, and Marxist thought. Succeeding chapters analyze each
case study individually and also provide discussions on the current
political situation for all of the organizations covered in the
book that remain active. With lists of suggested reading and extra
resources in each chapter, this is written as an accessible course
book for students of Latin American history and politics.

rasgadura, las contradicciones, las confusiones, todas son

memoria, desconocer los conflictos, callar las batallas. En
Historia de la desaparición los desaparecidos vuelven a estar
aquÃ, tienen nombre.

The Millennial Generation, those born between the early 1980s and
the late 1990s, is the most educated, digitally connected, and
globalized in the history of the world. Around the globe, this
generation encompasses 1.8 billion people-a quarter of the world's
population-and will soon produce a majority of the world's
political, economic, and social leaders. Millennials grew up
experiencing the terrorist attacks of September 11, the perpetual
"war on terror", the global proliferation of the internet and smart
phones, and the increased interconnectedness of people around the
world. In many countries, Millennials' young adulthood has been
marked by high rates of unemployment and underemployment that
surpass those of their parents and grandparents, making them the
first generation in the modern era to have higher rates of poverty
than their predecessors at the same age. These factors afford a
unique opportunity to explore how Millennial attitudes, compared to
older adults, vary across different cultures, political settings,
and economic circumstances. Citizens of the World examines the
Millennial Generation from a comparative perspective, providing
insight into the degree to which generational differences in
political attitudes and behaviors transcend cultures and borders.
The book looks at Millennial attitudes about family life, gender
roles, institutions, politics, religion, lifestyle, and the future
to better understand how or if governance will change under this
generation and the degree of influence they currently wield in
different countries. Key to this research is the finding that
Millennials have developed a global identity that distinguishes
them from older adults. Drawing on data from Australia, Chile,
Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, the United Kingdom,
and the United States, Citizens of the World shows how this global
identity has developed and how it fuels Millennials' policy
attitudes and willingness to engage in the political world.
