Writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio was on DACA when she decided to write about being undocumented for the first time using her own name. It was right after the election of 2016, the day she realized the story she'd tried to steer clear of was the only one she wanted to tell. So she wrote her immigration lawyer's phone number on her hand in Sharpie and embarked on a trip across the country to tell the stories of her fellow undocumented immigrants—and to find the hidden key to her own.

La gran farsa es el retrato de un país que ardía en llamas. Es la historia de una sociedad tomada por la violencia, en la que los tupamaros desplegaban sus acciones terroristas y ponían en jaque al Gobierno de Jorge Pacheco Areco, electo en las urnas.

In October 2022, Lula was once again elected President of Brazil, replacing the far-right strongman Bolsonaro, sparking an insurrection, and exiling the fallen demagogue to Trump-friendly circles in the US. He won by promising to save the Amazon (and, therefore, the world) and, as ever, to give power back to the Brazilian people.

O Período Colonial no Brasil é datado de 1530 a 1822. Em quase 300 anos, o país foi marcado por escravidão, capitanias hereditárias, invasões estrangeiras, ciclo do açúcar e do ouro e pela chegada da família real. A seguir, entenda o que aconteceu em cada um desses momentos.

Resultado de um longo trabalho de dez anos de pesquisa, 1808 narra a chegada da família real ao Rio de Janeiro, acossada pelas tropas do imperador francês Napoleão Bonaparte. Nunca algo semelhante havia acontecido na história de Portugal ou de qualquer outro país europeu. Em tempos de guerra, reis e rainhas haviam sido destronados ou obrigados a se refugiar em territórios alheios, mas nenhum deles foi tão longe quanto o príncipe regente Dom João VI, forçado a cruzar um oceano com toda a família real portuguesa para viver e reinar do outro lado do mundo.

Em 1822, Laurentino Gomes compara diferentes relatos sobre o dia 7 de Setembro e a proclamação da independência. A verdade é que esse fatídico dia foi bem menos épico do que a pintura “Independência ou Morte”, de Pedro Américo, nos mostra. Mais do que desmistificar o grito às margens do Ipiranga, o escritor analisa como Dom Pedro conseguiu, apesar de todas as dificuldades, fazer do Brasil uma nação na sequência das mudanças provocadas pela fuga da família real portuguesa em 1808.

In a narrative that moves from Mexico to the United States and back, Sánchez Prado discusses the definition of the taco, the question of the tortilla and the taco shell, and the existence of the taco as a modern social touchstone that has been shaped by history and geography. Challenging the idea of centrality and authenticity, Sánchez Prado shows instead that the taco is a contemporary, transcultural food that has always been subject to transformation.

Cuando se temía una invasión por parte de Estados Unidos, el presidente Plutarco Elías Calles emprendió una vasta obra de reconstrucción material e institucional. Hombres como Alberto J. Pani, Luis Montes de Oca, Manuel Gómez Morin, Moisés Sáenz y Gonzalo Robles, entre otros, se encargaron de realizar esa obra creativa con tiempo limitado y pocos recursos, pero también con claridad, profesionalismo y patriotismo.

Si hay algo más bajo que robar, es robarles a los pobres. El saqueo a Segalmex —compañía paraestatal que buscaba beneficiar a los más necesitados— fue el mayor caso de corrupción del sexenio de López Obrador, y uno de los más grandes de la historia mexicana. La Auditoria Superior de la Federación llegó a cifrar el desfalco en más de 15 mil millones de pesos. En esta investigación Zedryk Raziel y Georgina Zerega documentan la gigantesca corrupción en Segalmex mediante la revisión de cientos de denuncias, carpetas de investigación, auditorías, contratos e informes internos.

Num de seus trabalhos mais ambiciosos e impressionantes, Ruy Castro levanta uma história que nunca tinha sido contada: a dos espiões, refugiados, quintas-colunas, diplomatas e artistas na capital federal do Brasil durante a Segunda Guerra. Foi um período marcado por reviravoltas, segredos e tramas que mudaram a vida dos brasileiros para sempre. Muito antes de o Brasil declarar guerra ao Eixo em 1942, a Segunda Guerra já estava entre nós.

When presumed president-elect Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, champion of the working class and harbinger of a new era of progressive social change, is assassinated on the eve of Colombia’s 1948 presidential election, the capital is plunged into bloodshed. So begins a singularly brutal period of Colombia’s history known simply as la violencia—a bloody civil war that spawned decades of turmoil and splintered the country into ever-shifting factions.

Nesse livro, Vaz joga sua rede no mundo das crônicas, e pesca o que há de esperança e desesperança na vida. Como observador das marés, de nossas tormentas e maremotos, ele mergulha fundo na alma dos invisíveis, dos desterrados, dos sem-nome, dos sem-lugar, dos sem aquilo que um dia foi prometido a todos, mas que acabou sendo apenas permitido a uma pequena parcela da humanidade: a plena cidadania.

La Ciudad de México fue sacudida por un sismo de gran magnitud. Cientos de edificios se vinieron abajo, decenas de miles de vidas fueron truncadas, familias rotas, destinos destrozados. Cristina Pacheco, periodista ejemplar y dueña de una enorme sensibilidad ante el sufrimiento y la piedad, entendió que había que salir a la calle a conversar con la gente, a escuchar sus historias y compartir su dolor.

With gripping detail and firsthand accounts that sound like a novel, renowned author Warren Carroll unveils the events that led up to the divine intervention in which Our Lady of Guadalupe was sent to an Aztec, known now as St. Juan Diego. Here is the untold story of the faith and valor of the Spanish as they encounter an early Aztec culture marked by an immorality and an idolatry of epic proportions, along with the hardships they endured in the face of unspeakable cruelty.

The history of Mexico has been, Paul Gillingham shows, one of suffering empire but also of overcoming. Through it all the country set new standards for inclusivity, for progressive social policies, for artistic expression, for adroitly balancing dictatorship and democracy. While racial divides endured, so too did indigenous peoples, who enjoyed rights unthinkable in the United States.

This sweeping new history of Mexico spans 500 dramatic years of conquest, innovation, and revolution. It begins in 1511 with the shipwreck of two Spanish sailors in Yucatán. Paul Gillingham's superb history chronicles how this convulsion led to a startling recombination of cultures.
