Clara is a serving girl that make friends with one of the sons of the owner of the big house where she works, becoming the target of accusations and intolerance of some of the people around her.

La pasión que me llevó atreves de 25 años de mi mensaje es que puedas tener LIBERTAD COMPLETA y GLORIOSA; la clase de vida que sólo el Salvador puede dar; todos los que pueda alcanzar con mi mensaje de libertad sean libres y sanados en todas sus áreas; el Poder de la Palabra de Dios puede llegar a lo más profundo del corazón y quitar toda aflicción y arrancar todas las piedras quemadas y llevarse toda cenizas del pasado. Así como los terremotos dejan al descubierto las grietas geológicas, las presiones sobre nosotros nos traen verdaderos y reacciones que ponen al descubierto grietas de nuestro carácter que no siempre estamos dispuestos a admitirlo, la verdadera medida de crecimiento y madures en nuestras vidas tiene que ver con nuestro carácter. Te invito a que leas esta historia que te alentara a seguir adelante, te reto a que escribas tu nueva historia con la pluma de Dios como pasó con las tablas que el Señor dio a Moisés, que las primeras se rompieron por la desobediencia de ellos pero como en Dios siempre tendremos la segunda oportunidad, podemos tomarla y dejarlo a Él poner esos nuevos renglones de historia escritos por su pluma y te aseguro que será lo más hermosa historia que hayas vivido.

First published in 1961, A New History of Spanish Literature has been a much-used resource for generations of students. The book has now been completely revised and updated to include extensive discussion of Spanish literature of the past thirty years. Richard E. Chandler and Kessel Schwartz, both longtime students of the literature, write authoritatively about every Spanish literary work of consequence. From the earliest extant writings though the literature of the 1980s, they draw on the latest scholarship. Unlike most literary histories, this one treats each genre fully in its own section, thus making it easy for the reader to follow the development of poetry, the drama, the novel, other prose fiction, and nonfiction prose. Students of the first edition have found this method particularly useful. However, this approach does not preclude study of the literature by period. A full index easily enables the reader to find all references to any individual author or book. Another noteworthy feature of the book, and one omitted from many books of this kind, is the comprehensive attention the authors accord nonfiction prose, including, for example, essays, philosophy, literary criticism, politics, and historiography. Encyclopedic in scope yet concise and eminently readable, the revised edition of A New History of Spanish Literature bids fair to be the standard reference well into the next century.

This volume explores several notable themes related to the economy in Latin America and offers insightful historical perspectives to understand national, regional, and global issues in the continent since the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. The collected essays focus on economic crises, the relationship of growth models to society and politics, the fluctuations of local economies, and regional protests. Other aspects of consideration in this area include the evolution of integrated regional trading blocs, the informal economy, and the destruction of the productive potential that has had a serious social, cultural, and environmental impact. The volume refuses to impose a traditional and uncritical linear historical narrative onto the reader and instead proposes an alternative interpretation of the past and its relation to the present.

An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM. This book examines three expeditions by the Spanish to the borders of Charcas, a district that covers present-day Bolivia and the northwest of Argentina, in the second half of the sixteenth century, using an approach that has not been attempted until now. Scholarship on these events has framed them as part of a gradual top-down process of centralisation driven by the Crown to extend its power and build a colonial ‘state’ in the Americas. This book challenges that view, approaching the expeditions through an analysis of the political culture that underpinned them. It explores the events within the process of installation and consolidation of royal jurisdiction, understood here as the authority to establish law and deliver justice, in a remote area. This was a process achieved through coercion and violence, as well as negotiation and consensus, that involved both the Spanish and indigenous peoples, and that frequently created overlapping jurisdictions, via downscaling of politics and dispersal of power. Jurisdictional politics were decided and settled in battlefields and courts and involved the theatricalization of power, to make a distant monarch present, which, paradoxically, made such absence the more evident. The book is an invitation to re-dimension the scope of Spain’s empire
