por lo que va dirigido tanto a profesionales del sector como a
familias que tengan ninos en edad escolar que sufran sobrepeso o

que ya afecta a la infancia de los paises desarrollados. Algunos
profesionales ya la consideran como una enfermedad y hablan de la
obesidad infantil como una patologia endemica. Por ello no queremos
que desperdicieis la oportunidad de informaros del tema y obtener
soluciones para prevenir y colaborar en la solucion de este
problema social.
The focus for students of Latin America in the past decade has been
on the political forces of the left and the so-called "pink tide"
presidencies attempting to bring about social and economic change
in the region. However, there has been far less attention paid to
the rightwing political forces resisting such change. Such
opposition is being orchestrated by political parties, business,
the private media and other social and cultural institutions and is
linked to the "soft power" of US diplomacy. In recent years its
activities have often appeared to challenge the democratic process
itself. This volume, from the editors of the acclaimed "Reclaiming
Latin America, " addresses the current trajectories of rightwing
politics in Latin America in the face of leftist governments and
regional alliances, the discrediting of neoliberalism, and the
decline of US hegemony. It includes overview chapters on historical
context and rightwing typologies; US policy towards Latin America;
the role of US-based think-tanks; the role of transnational
business and of the private media, as well as offering
country-specific chapters on key states with rightwing governments
(Mexico, Colombia and Peru) and on opposition to left-of-center
governments in Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Brazil, Paraguay,
Argentina and Chile. It will also consider the recent political
victories obtained by the Latin American right through the polls
and by force in Chile, Panama and Honduras. A revealing and
important book for anyone interested in contemporary Latin American
politics.

Reclaiming Latin America is a one-stop guide to the revival of
social democratic and socialist politics across the region. At the
end of the Cold War, and through decades of neoliberal domination
and the 'Washington Consensus' it seemed that the left could do
nothing but beat a ragged retreat in Latin America. Yet this book
looks at the new opportunities that sprang up through electoral
politics and mass action during that period. The chapters here warn
against over-simplification of the so-called 'pink wave'. Instead,
through detailed historical analysis of Latin America as a whole
and country-specific case studies, the book demonstrates the
variety of approaches to establishing a lasting social justice.
From the anti-imperialism of the Bolivarian Alternative for the
Americas in Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba, to the more gradualist
routes being taken in Chile, Argentina and Brazil, Reclaiming Latin
America gives a real sense of the plurality of political responses
to popular discontent.

Identity and Discursive Practices: Spain and Latin America focuses
on contemporary mutual influences between Spain and Latin America.
It examines discursive practices on both sides of the Atlantic
specifically in the fields of political economy, identity,
literature and gender. Although the Spanish influence is not
obvious in all twelve contributions, it is an important component
of the substratum from which Latin American culture and identity
have both developed over the last five centuries and given rise to
a variety of identities and discursive practices. With
contributions by academics from Spain, Chile, Brazil, Guatemala and
Britain, the book brings together scholarly expertise to examine
issues such as masculinity, homosexuality, politics, culture,
women's identity, nationalism, poetry, and the current economic
influence of Spain in Latin America. Scholars and students of both
Latin America and Spain will greatly benefit from Identity and
discursive Practices.
