Book excerpt: Uno de los grandes males que agobian al mundo actualmente, es la desesperanza. Una desesperanza nacida de la frustración, propiciada por la gran crisis económica que nos atosiga y que parece no tener solución, por lo menos en el corto plazo. La idea que se nos vendió, avalada por los medios masivos de comunicación, de un mundo globalizado promisorio, con oportunidades para todos, se desmoronó como un castillo de naipes al primer soplo de inestabilidad. Pero esta situación que ahora padecemos, producto de la avaricia y la falta de escrúpulos más ruin que pueda imaginarse, no se dio de un día para otro; se fue incubando, por años, al interior del sistema financiero internacional como un mal bicho que al hacer su aparición de manera intempestiva, cogió a todo mundo desprevenido y sin saber qué medidas tomar para remediar la situación. Los expertos, emocionados con un sistema económico en expansión, nunca se imaginaron que algo podría salirse del carril desbarrancándose, y arrastrara consigo a la mayoría de los países que participaban en el juego. No pensaron que las triquiñuelas de las que echaron mano, durante tanto tiempo, para enriquecer a unos cuantos vivales, tuvieran un efecto tan expansivo y, por lo mismo, tan devastador, en la mayoría de las sociedades inmiscuidas y por eso mismo, atrapadas irremediablemente en la debacle financiera. LA OTRA MITAD DE NOSOTROS toca el tema de manera puntual, lo mismo que los temas de la injusticia, la educación, la política (la mala política, que acostumbra sentar sus reales en muchos países en el mundo y de la que es muy difícil desprenderse), la religión y la música; de ésta última y de manera especial, hace una semblanza novedosa y conmovedora de Los Beatles, el genial cuarteto de Liverpool, que influyó de manera decisiva y profunda en el ánimo de toda una generación y que sigue causando expectativas y comentarios en los corrillos discográficos, con una visión original y muy personal del autor. No hay tema de importancia relevante que esta obra no toque y lo hace a través de un lenguaje simple, enriquecido con todo tipo de florituras lingüísticas que no solo lo hacen único, sino completamente comprensible y disfrutable en todo momento. La obra consta de ocho capítulos y una posdata; cada capítulo lleva por título, el título de una canción conocida de la década de los setentas y nos atreveríamos a decir que pocas veces en la historia de la literatura universal, el nombre del capítulo tiene tanta afinidad con el tema que retrata, pero, y esto es lo verdaderamente importante, los capítulos se podrían alterar, entremezclar o leerse como un ente individual y aún así, no perdería ni su sentido ni su frescor. De la mano del personaje principal, vamos descubriendo el sub mundo incomprensible, a veces absurdo y hostil, en el que nos movemos constantemente sin percatarnos apenas de su presencia. Vivimos el día a día y los actos que rigen nuestra conducta para con los demás, aquellos que nos son ajenos o extraños son, en el mejor de los casos, de una total arrogancia. En no pocas ocasiones, los miramos con un desprecio poco disimulado, porque los consideramos seres sin valor, objetos que se pueden comprar o vender, insultar o lastimar sin que sintamos culpa por ello. Los valores que regían nuestra conducta, hasta bien entrada la última parte del siglo veinte, se han ido perdiendo poco a poco, para dar paso a una nueva visión del mundo, con enfoques que a muchos nos parecen ruines y perversos. Pero no se piense, por esto, que todo está perdido. A lo largo de su periplo, nuestro personaje recibe constantes muestras de solidaridad y afecto aún de los que nada tienen, de aquellos menos favorecidos por la suerte, lo que demuestra que los seres humanos somos capaces de superar los escollos más difíciles que se nos presenten con un poco de ayuda y que nuestra capacidad de reacción, en momentos críticos y ante los embates del destino, demuestran que nuestra mayor

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win†? situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.

Download or read book Native Insurgencies and the Genocidal Impulse in the Americas written by Nicholas A. Robins and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-26 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates three Indian revolts in the Americas: the 1680 uprising of the Pueblo Indians against the Spanish; the Great Rebellion in Bolivia, 1780--82; and the Caste War of Yucatan that began in 1849 and was not finally crushed until 1903. Nicholas A. Robins examines their causes, course, nature, leadership, and goals. He finds common features: they were revitalization movements that were both millenarian and exterminatory in their means and objectives; they sought to restore native rule and traditions to their societies; and they were movements born of despair and oppression that were sustained by the belief that they would witness the dawning of a new age. His work underscores the link that may be found, but is not inherent, between genocide, millennialism, and revitalization movements in Latin America during the colonial and early national periods.

Download or read book Genocide and Millennialism in Upper Peru written by Nicholas Robins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring one of the least studied genocides in post-conquest South America, Robins calls into question many of the central assumptions currently held by genocide scholars. Victims of genocide usually lack the organization and weaponry to battle their enemies. During the 1780-1782 Great Rebellion in Peru and Upper Peru (now Bolivia), however, the Indian revolutionaries faced the better-organized and armed loyalist army. Whereas genocidal policies are usually characterized by centralized leadership, the Great Rebellion was highly fragmented and confederational in nature, undercutting the widely-held assumption that only the State is capable of committing genocide. The Rebellion is one of the rare cases when the victims of genocide emerged victorious. Focusing on the events occurring in the region south of La Paz, Robins examines how a native millennial movement evolved into an Indian-led attempt at genocide, dealing an unprecedented challenge to Spanish rule in the Americas. In the eyes of the rebels, this revolt fulfilled prophecies of an inevitable, divinely assisted, and long-awaited return of native rule. Just like at the dawn of the colonial period, this new era was to be born of pachacuti, or cataclysm. But this time the Spanish interlopers and their culture would be targeted for destruction.
