En esta obra se pretende un primer acercamiento a la función policial, desde una perspectiva basada en los aspectos jurídicos y su incardinación con la operativa funcional. El propósito es proporcionar a los funcionarios de la seguridad pública una comprensión más fácil, rápida y eficaz de aspectos normativos y procedimentales que tanto tienen que ver con la intervención policial. En el texto, primeramente, se propone una conceptualización de la protección ciudadana y de los agentes de la seguridad pública en la perspectiva política y social actual, siguiendo con la descripción y detalle de las figuras procesales-penales más importantes en la actuación de los agentes del orden. Junto a las propuestas teóricas y de normativa procesal relacionada, se adjuntan infinidad de circulares, consultas, informes, acuerdos y protocolos que pueden proporcionar una comprensión adaptable a las necesidades que se requieren. Asimismo, se proporciona un resumen, de fácil comprensión, de aquellas figuras delictivas que resultan más asiduas en la labor policial. Se trata de un trabajo práctico que constituye una herramienta básica para los profesionales policiales, postulando una aproximación, cada vez más intensiva por parte de estos servidores públicos, al conocimiento pausado e instructivo dirigido a fijar el desarrollo intervencional que cada día requiere unas cuotas de mayor profesionalidad. El policía se debe sentir seguro ante lo que se puede encontrar en su quehacer diario, teniendo la seguridad del «saber hacer» en todo momento. La prestación de este servicio público impregnada de los valores de autonomía moral, honestidad intelectual y responsabilidad, redundara en una mejor calidad de oferta y en la garantía de un actuar ajustado a nuestro Estado de Derecho. Este libro reviste especial interés para los miembros de las Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad, para los componentes de la seguridad privada, academias y centros formativos, y para todos aquellos estudiosos de la seguridad pública que sienten la ventura de contemplar el por qué de las realizaciones y su ajuste normativo. Al final, como siempre, el trabajo bien hecho, es la mejor oportunidad de hacer más trabajo bien hecho.

In the first biography in English of the great Argentinian tango singer Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), Collier traces his rise from very modest beginnings to become the first genuine "superstar" of twentieth-century Latin America. In his late teens, Gardel won local fame in the barrios of Buenos Aires singing in cafes and political clubs. By the 1920s, after he switched to tango singing, the songs he wrote and sang enjoyed instant popularity and have become classics of the genre. He began making movies in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as the most popular star of the Spanish-language cinema, and at the time of his death Paramount was planning to launch his Hollywood career.Collier's biography focuses on Gardel's artistic career and achievements but also sets his life story within the context of the tango tradition, of early twentieth-century Argentina, and of the history of popular entertainment.

Based on a four-year study, Manga High explores the convergence of literacy, creativity, social development, and personal identity in one of New York City’s largest high schools. Since 2004, students at Martin Luther King, Jr., High School in Manhattan have been creating manga—Japanese comic books. They write the stories, design the characters, and publish their works in print and on the Internet. These students—African-American and Latino teenagers—are more than interested in the art and medium of manga. They have become completely engrossed in Japanese language, culture, and society. Manga High is highlighted by reproductions and content analysis of students’ original art and writing. An appendix includes guidelines for educators on starting a comic book club.

With a Foreword by José David Saldívar Since its first publication in Spanish nearly a decade ago, Julio Ramos’s Desenucuentros de la modernidad en America Latina por el siglo XIX has been recognized as one of the most important studies of modernity in the western hemisphere. Available for the first time in English—and now published with new material—Ramos’s study not only offers an analysis of the complex relationships between history, literature, and nation-building in the modern Latin American context but also takes crucial steps toward the development of a truly comparative inter-American cultural criticism. With his focus on the nineteenth century, Ramos begins his genealogy of an emerging Latin Americanism with an examination of Argentinean Domingo Sarmiento and Chilean Andrés Bello, representing the “enlightened letrados” of tradition. In contrast to these “lettered men,” he turns to Cuban journalist, revolutionary, and poet José Martí, who, Ramos suggests, inaugurated a new kind of intellectual subject for the Americas. Though tracing Latin American modernity in general, it is the analysis of Martí—particularly his work in the United States—that becomes the focal point of Ramos’s study. Martí’s confrontation with the unequal modernization of the New World, the dependent status of Latin America, and the contrast between Latin America’s culture of elites and the northern mass culture of commodification are, for Ramos, key elements in understanding the complex Latin American experience of modernity. Including two new chapters written for this edition, as well as translations of three of Martí’s most important works, Divergent Modernities will be indispensable for anyone seeking to understand development and modernity across the Americas.
