Archbishop Romero and Spiritual Leadership in the Modern World
presents a contemporary and integrated understanding of one of the
most remarkable pastoral leaders of our time. This bishop, Oscar
Romero of El Salvador, experienced deeply the overwhelming
sufferings of the Salvadoran people, as well as those within
himself. He cried out in vain to Presidents Carter and Reagan, "no
more arms to El Salvador," but his pleas were not heard at that
time. Knowing that he would soon be murdered, Romero promised that
he would rise again in the Salvadoran people. This book illustrates
how this is happening and conclusively demonstrates that by
respecting transparency and with dogged perseverance, a nonviolent
public leader can become an influential leader, even in times of
the most savage repression and marginalization. Archbishop Romero
accomplished precisely that through determination, courage, and
honing his public skills, while simultaneously conducting himself
in deeply spiritual ways.

This book explores how workers moved and were moved, why they
moved, and how they were kept from moving. Combining global labour
history with mobility studies, it investigates moving workers
through the lens of coercion. The contributions in this book are
based on extensive archival research and span Europe and North
America over the past 500 years. They provide fresh historical
perspectives on the various regimes of coercion, mobility, and
immobility as constituent parts of the political economy of labour.
Moving Workers shows that all struggles relating to the mobility of
workers or its restriction have the potential to reveal complex
configurations of hierarchies, dependencies, and diverging
conceptions of work and labour relations that continuously make and
remake our world.
This book explores how women's relationship with food has been
represented in Italian literature, cinema, scientific writings and
other forms of cultural expression from the 19th century to the
present. Italian women have often been portrayed cooking and
serving meals to others, while denying themselves the pleasure of
the table. The collection presents a comprehensive understanding of
the symbolic meanings associated with food and of the way these
intersect with Italian women's socio-cultural history and the
feminist movement. From case studies on Sophia Loren and Elena
Ferrante, to analyses of cookbooks by Italian chefs, each chapter
examines the unique contribution Italian culture has made to
perceiving and portraying women in a specific relation to food,
addressing issues of gender, identity and politics of the body.
