Esta obra, concebida por la historiadora e investigadora cubana Ana Cairo Ballester, al aproximarse el centenario del 20 de mayo de 1902, fecha de fundación de la República de Cuba como Estado reconocido por la comunidad internacional de naciones, es el resultado de multiples informaciones acopiadas durante tres decadas. La cultura republicana cubana, con sus dos periodos, necesita mejores indagaciones sobre los problemas de continuidad y ruptura. Precisamente, la autora aspira, con este texto, contribuir al examen de estos. El libro se ha conformado por dos ensayos: "El sueño republicano" y "Las vicisitudes de una fecha", seguidos por una "Cronologia" y las secciones de "Relecturas", de "Testimonio grafico" y de "Bibliografia".

Este libro rescata una memoria de siempre proscrita: la de los anarquistas rusos y, con ellos, la de movimientos de carácter diverso que, cien años atrás, apostaron en el oriente europeo por la autoorganizacion, por la accion directa y por el apoyo mutuo. Su atencion se concentra en una etapa singularmente convulsa, la que separo los años 1917 y 1921, en la que las diversas iniciativas libertarias entraron en colision con el naciente poder bolchevique. Por sus paginas pasan, de resultas, soviets, comites de fabrica, comunas rurales, socialistas revolucionarios, anarcocomunistas, anarcosindicalistas, marineros de Kronshtadt, guerrilleros majnovistas y, claro, la represion y la derrota.

The edited volume aims to re-contextualize revolts in early modern Central and Southern Europe (Hungary, Croatia, Czech Lands, Austria, Germany, Italy) by adopting the interdisciplinary and comparative methods of social and cultural history. Instead of structural explanations like the model of state-building versus popular resistance, it wishes to put back the peasants themselves to the historical narratives of revolts. Peasants appear in the book as active agents fighting or bargaining for freedom, which was a practical issue for them. Nonetheless, the language of lord-peasant negotiation was that of religion, just as official punishments used Christian symbols. The approach of revolts as the events of collective violence also highlights the experiences and memories of participants. How did individuals and groups use remembering and forgetting as a means of forging an identity for themselves? Instead of the narratives of the powerful that became the normative stories of history, the perspective of the rebels uncovers the everyday faces of revolts more forcibly. Finally, contributors examine how later narrators used the rebels for their own purposes, in other words the subsequent representation of the revolts and their leaders in image, literature and historiography comes to the fore. The volume aims to overcome disciplinary boundaries by bringing together historians and scholars of related disciplines including the history of literature, the visual arts and anthropology. The central contention of the volume - the cultural imprint of peasant revolts - is fully addressed, thereby filling a conspicuous gap in the currently available literature.

La Revolución Industrial es el proceso más determinante de la historia reciente: una narración vibrante plagada de victorias para la humanidad, pero también de víctimas. Nadie duda que las guerras o los enfrentamientos cambian el curso de la historia, pero no es menos importante, para nuestra historia reciente, el impacto que tuvo la Revolucion Industrial tanto en la economia como en la politica o la estrategia militar de las naciones. Breve Historia de la Revolucion Industrial nos presentara este complejo e imparable proceso humano en el que se combinan varias revoluciones como la revolucion agricola o la revolucion demografica y que conto con la colaboracion de las teorias cientificas en las que se sustentaban los nuevos inventos, las universidades que empezaron a producir trabajadores cada vez mas cualificados y, sobre todo, de los gobiernos que, hasta las primeras revoluciones sociales, eliminaron todas las barreras con las que el progreso se iba encontrando, aunque estas barreras estuvieran hechas de seres humanos. Es fundamental, a la hora de abordar este heterogeneo y dilatado proceso, la intencion didactica que Luis E. Iñigo mantiene constantemente a lo largo de la obra, asi podemos introducirnos sin problema en los distintos debates que existen sobre la revolucion industrial. ¿Puede hablarse de una Revolucion Industrial que se inicia en Inglaterra y a la que se van sumando, con mas o menos exito, los demas paises o deberiamos hablar de un desarrollo economico a escala mundial? "Asombrese ante los profundos cambios sociales, politicos y espirituales que produjo el desarrollo de la industria moderna. Valore la sostenibilidad de la sociedad actual y reflexione sobre el futuro inmediato de una humanidad abocada al agotamiento de los recursos naturales."

The Industrial Revolution was a period of exceptional change in Britain, not only in terms of technology but also in law and order. The countrys social order was shifting and in some towns the response was violence. In Manchester, the capital of discontent, events related to the Plug Plots, Peterloo and the Chartists created a very real fear of revolution on the streets of England. In its efforts to combat the disorder, the newly established police force became mired in political controversy, providing some disturbing but often amusing examples of corruption and misconduct. Eric J. Hewitt examines the reactions of those who experienced the revolution in this most dangerous of places, and tells of such characters as the notorious serial killer Charlie Peace, the supposedly corrupt Deputy Constable Joseph Nadin and the illiterate millworker-turned-Home Secretary John Robert Clynes. Fascinating, and certainly eye-opening, this up-to-date account of Industrial Revolution Manchester is a must-read.

Petrogrado (antigua San Petersburgo), 1 de octubre de 1917. El capitán Jacques Sadoul llega a Rusia en uno de esos momentos en los que la Historia se agita, acelera y nadie sabe muy bien qué va a pasar al dia siguiente. Estamos en plena guerra mundial, y a punto de producirse la insurreccion bolchevique. Sadoul detecta y transmite pronto dos hechos fundamentales: que el pueblo ruso quiere la paz a cualquier coste y que el gobierno bolchevique es mucho mas solido de los que los aliados desean y calculan. Entra en contacto con los dirigentes sovieticos (Lenin, la Kollontai y sobre todo Trotski) y aprovecha la informacion privilegiada que esto supone para comunicar en sus cartas el dia a dia de la revolucion y de las negociaciones de la paz. Entre el espionaje, la diplomacia y la cronica, estas cartas, inexplicadamente nunca editadas en castellano, se ofrecen al lector como una mirada desde dentro sobre uno de los acontecimientos que "conmovieron el mundo". Mas que un libro "sobre", un libro "en" la revolucion bolchevique.

¿Fue la libertad la causa o el producto de la Revolución francesa?La mejor crónica sobre uno de los periodos estelares de la humanidad.Ciudadanos no es la versión trillada de un régimen muriendo de enfermedad y decrepitud, sino el reflejo de la transformacion que cambio la historia de Europa para siempre: el paso de hombres y mujeres de sujetos a ciudadanos. Partiendo de la idea de que la fe de los ciudadanos en la libertad fue la causa mas que el producto de la Revolucion francesa, Schama dibuja un pais en ebullicion en el que se derrumban las diferencias entre nobles y plebeyos, en un escenario de hambre, ira, terror y muerte.A traves de la historia social, cultural y politica, Schama encuentra el marco de su historia en imagenes y artefactos, ceramicas y calendarios y, con su particular punto de vista, nos acerca mas que nunca a la realidad humana de la Revolucion Francesa.Reseñas: El mejor libro que he leido sobre la Revolucion francesa. Richard CobbMonumental, provocador y refinado. La descripcion que hace Schama de los primeros años de la gran Revolucion que se apodero de Francia y de las decadas que la precedieron, son dificiles de superar.

Thomas Paines Common Sense is a groundbreaking political pamphlet written during the American Revolution that advocates for independence from British rule. Paine presents his arguments in a clear and persuasive manner, appealing to the common people and challenging the existing notions of monarchy. Written in simple yet powerful prose, Common Sense played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of the time. Paines work is considered a classic piece of revolutionary literature that sparked a sense of unity and inspired democratic ideals in the American colonies. The books influence can still be felt today in the principles of democracy and freedom. Thomas Paine, a political activist and philosopher, wrote Common Sense in 1776 as a call to arms for the American colonists to break free from British rule. Paines background as a former corset-maker and excise officer gave him a unique perspective on social and political issues, leading him to become an influential figure in the American Revolution. His bold ideas and passion for liberty shine through in Common Sense, making it a timeless piece of literature. I highly recommend Common Sense to readers interested in American history, political philosophy, and revolutionary literature. Paines powerful arguments and visionary ideas continue to resonate with audiences today, making this book a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the origins of American democracy.
