ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Varela, Felix / Castillo-Feliu, Guillermo, PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, "This translation of Xicotencatl makes available to English-speaking readers a key text in the nineteenth-century history of Spanish American literature....

The Political University: Policy, Politics, and Presidential

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rosenzweig, Robert M., PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, Research universities are unique in American education in the degree to which they are sensitive to policies of the national government. According to Robert Rosenzweig, it is impossible to understand the recent past, the present, and the future of the university without understanding the political process that determines those policies -- including the various ways universities have tried, with mixed results, to shape them to their own ends. In The Political University, the former Stanford administrator and president of the Association of American Universities offers an insider's perspective on research universities, the AAU, and the Washington political agenda. Drawing on thirty years of professional experience, Rosenzweig discusses the problems and prospects of American research universities in light of such issues as shifting federal policies, resource constraints, increased partnerships with business and industry, and the changing needs and perceptions of the larger society. His book also brings other valuable perspectives to the discussion -- those of twelve former university presidents, all of whom served through the s, all of whom left office around for various reasons, and none of whom will ever hold a presidency again. This edition contains a new introduction, which brings some of the issues dealt with in the book into sharper relief. In candid and wide-ranging discussions with Rosenzweig, the former presidents examine the complex political process on which the modern research university depends -- and through which the modern university president must lead constituents. "A very readable and excellent portrait of today's American research university." -- ClarkKerr, President Emeritus, University of California

Inside the Revolution: Everyday Life in Socialist Cuba

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rosendahl, Mona, PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, The first ethnographic study of life in Cuba to emerge in over twenty years, Inside the Revolution offers a rare, close view of how socialist ideology translates into everyday experience in one Cuban municipality. Mona Rosendahl draws on eighteen months of fieldwork, in a municipality she calls by the fictional name Palmera, to present a vivid account of the lives and thoughts of residents, many of whom have lived inside the revolution for more than thirty-five years.In Palmera, support for the socialist program remains strong. Rosendahl attributes continuing loyalty to four conditions: improvements in the standard of living from to , the uniformity and omnipresence of political communications from the government, a historical emphasis on local participation in the revolution, and the consistency of revolutionary ideals with traditional machista expectations and practices. Through an analysis of ideology and practice in contemporary Cuba, Rosendahl documents how its citizens support the present political system, and how reciprocal economics between households and ideas about gender both reinforce and challenge that system. Rosendahl also explains how those who oppose state socialism resist participation in society through inaction or withdrawal.
