Invokes the memory and the challenge of the martyrs of El Salvador,
including Sobrino's friends and colleagues of the Central American
University and the poor and nameless who continue to suffer today.
The essays in Sobrino's latest collection bear on one of the most
pressing signs of the times: the existence of a "crucified people,
" the poor and oppressed of our world, whose suffering presents
Christian faith with an urgent demand - that we "take them down
from the cross." Writing from the Salvadoran context, he presents a
"theology of mercy, " reflecting on the principles of mercy and
solidarity as the mode of Christian witness and discipleship in a
world of conflict and suffering. In a personal introduction that
sets the tone, Sobrino describes the evolution of his own thinking
under the impact of the Salvadoran reality. Part One focuses on the
essential character of mercy, and on the importance of shaping the
mission of the church and the task of theology. Part Two analyzes
the crucified reality of the Third World with specific reflections
on salvation, forgiveness, and the grace of being forgiven. Part
Three presents two manifestations of mercy: the reality of
priesthood and solidarity. Finally, in a moving Afterword, Sobrino
focuses on his martyred fellow Jesuits of the Central American
University, a group who paid the ultimate price of mercy.
Jon Sobrino continues the magisterial christology begun in Jesus
the Liberator. In that book Sobrino examined the identity of Jesus
in relation to his message, his interlocutors, and the conflict
that led to his death. In this second volume he takes up the
Resurrection of Christ, the christology of the New Testament, and
finally the christological formulae of the early church councils.
Throughout Christ the Liberator Sobrino writes from the reality
of faith, as set in motion by the event of Jesus Christ, and from
the situation of the victims -- the "Crucified People" of history
-- particularly the poor of El Salvador, with whom he works. With
Christ the Liberator Sobrino's christology takes its place among
the most significant contributions of Latin America to the church
and theology today.
The provocative title of these essays plays on a traditional
Catholic slogan: "No salvation outside the church." Insofar as it
implies God's response to a world marked by suffering and
injustice, then the poor represent an indispensible test, a key to
the healing of a sick society. Drawing on the radical hope of
Christian faith--the promise of the kingdom of God and the
resurrection of the death--Sobrino presents a bold counter-cultural
challenge to a "civilization of wealth" that lives off the blood of
the poor. Inspired by the witness of Oscar Romero and Ignacio
Ellacuria, and the church's preferential option for the poor,
Sobrino offers these "prophetic-utopian" reflections on faith and
the meaning of discipleship in our time.
This book focuses on the mechanisms that undergird the operation of
racialization and works to empirically define the specific
mechanisms by which racialization outside of black-white paradigm
operates. The contributors highlight the advantages and benefits of
using case studies from outside of the black-white racial boundary
in the social scientific study of racism, racial identity, racial
meaning, and racial representation. Their contributions can be
grouped into three specific areas of focus: the investigation of
the relationship between racialization and the state; the interplay
between racialization and identities; and the role of racialization
in the media. Taken together, the book lays out a roadmap for
future study of racialization and the study of race beyond the
racial categories of black and white Serving as a guiding point to
future research, this book will be of interest to all scholars of
race, and those seeking to understand the ideologies, actions,
interactions, structures and social practices associated with
racialization. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

The Footprint ― The brilliant work of the artist and,
specifically, the realism with which LuzĂłn brings this story to
life forces us to experience the protagonist's emotions in every
stroke. “Throughout the book, a striking contrast emerges
an animal world with human feelings.” The compositions and
techniques with which the artist plays to recreate the various
scenarios and breathe life into the protagonist’s emotions
overwhelm the reader to the point where it is impossible not to
empathize with him. Images and verses that envelop us in an
atmosphere as turbulent as friendship can be a difficult beginning,
with an initial rejection of the different, what we call
“strange,” which quickly finds that gift of life called
friendship, the one that allows us to face and even forget all the
adversities that cross our path. A strong and intense
friendship that carries us along on a river of fun and well-being
and that both Sobrino and LuzĂłn manage to make us feel between the
pages of this beautiful album. Companionship can be one of the most
beautiful experiences to be discovered in childhood, but it can
also be one of the most painful when it breaks down. That’s
why this story isn’t just about how good it is to have a great
friend. Sometimes things go wrong; paths diverge, and, without
expecting it, lives that were once one become separated
forever. Dealing with the grief you experience, especially
for a child, is not easy. This is why this beautiful book gives us
a powerful message of hope and illusion: “That those who were
here may have left an indelible mark, but they also leave a space
that can be filled by others who are ready to make us immensely
happy.”. Because in childhood, during emotional turmoil,
friendship can be a wonderful experience or the most significant
lesson.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Across nineteenth-century Europe, the emergence of constitutional
and democratic nation-states was accompanied by intense conflict
between Catholics and anti-clerical forces. At its peak, this
conflict touched virtually every sphere of social life: schools,
universities, the press, marriage and gender relations, burial
rites, associational culture, the control of public space, folk
memory and the symbols of nationhood. In short, these conflicts
were 'culture wars', in which the values and collective practices
of modern life were at stake. These 'culture wars' have generally
been seen as a chapter in the history of specific nation-states.
Yet it has recently become increasingly clear that the Europe of
the mid- and later nineteenth century should be seen as a common
politico-cultural space. This book breaks with the conventional
approach by setting developments in specific states within a
trans-national context, offering a fresh and revealing perspective
on one of modernity's formative conflicts.
How is it possible to live a spiritual life? What should the kernel
of this spirituality be, in this world of crises, challenges, and
change? From his immersion in the violent and struggle-filled
reality of Central America, Jon Sobrino articulates a way to imbue
the practice of liberation with spirituality - a dimension that
critics often charge is lacking in liberation theology. Without
spirit, practice degenerates. Without practice, spirit remains
vague, undifferentiated, even alienated. Sobrino argues that the
only authentic Christian practice is the following of Jesus in
one's own history, that that discipleship must be lived in the
spirit of Jesus, in heart and soul as well as world and deed.

Mexico City is the second largest city on the American continent,
the most populous Spanish-speaking city in the world and the
richest city, in terms of GFP, in Latin America. The authors
explore the political structures, demography, economy, social
issues and public administration that make this megacity
distinctive. Unique and vibrant, Mexico City has been run since the
1990s by left-wing parties with more progressive social and
egalitarian concerns about urban problems, and new proposals for
different types of state participation. Political changes at the
city level has led to changes and fresh approaches in some aspects
of social life, including the creation of important local,
grass-roots institutions. The book offers quantitative and
qualitative assessments of the spatial structure of the city and
its distribution of poverty and poor economic outcomes, alongide
transportation provision, housing. Deindustrialization and the
growth of the service sector alongside an expanding informal
economy are also shown to be important dynamics in the economic
restructuring of the city.
Cuba: realidades e imaginarios linguisticos profundiza en las
creencias, percepciones y actitudes de los hablantes cubanos sobre
la lengua espanola. Estas se van tejiendo, por un lado, con
postulados linguisticos de diferentes disciplinas y, por otro, con
el contexto historico, politico y social particular de la Cuba de
las ultimas decadas. Los datos en los que se basa el analisis se
han tomado de los cuestionarios aplicados en la capital cubana como
parte del proyecto panhispanico Linguistic Identity and Attitudes
in Spanish-Speaking Latin America (Proyecto LIAS) y de la tesis
doctoral "Actitudes linguisticas en el Caribe insular hispanico".
De ellos se derivan reflexiones encaminadas a descifrar y legitimar
la subjetividad linguistica de los cubanos, comprender sus
motivaciones y apuntar sus implicaciones en cuestiones de lengua e
identidad.
