Book Description
Presentamos, AVANCE DE LAS FORTALEZAS ESPIRITUALES, un libro que fue publicado para ayudar al Cuerpo de Cristo a ser vencedores. Hay varios momentos en nuestras vidas en los que somos propensos y susceptibles a ser heridos. Hay momentos en que la tragedia ocurre sin previo aviso, sin precaución o sin una alarma que nos indique que hay una emergencia pendiente. En tiempos como estos somos vulnerables en nuestra mente y en nuestras emociones. Comenzamos a construir muros y fortalezas que nos fortalecen dentro de nosotros mismos, alejando a los demás de nosotros y a nosotros de los demás. Esto sucede porque hay un punto que parece que no puedes superar. Hay un dolor que parece que no puedes dejar ir. En última instancia, todas las relaciones que nos rodean se vuelven cansadas y disfuncionales. Pero es hora de declarar: "¡Avance!" Bill Vincent ha sido utilizado por Dios para ayudar a liberar a la gente. Ha ayudado a traer liberación a más de mil personas que han sido liberadas. Se sentirá alentado por la interpretación de Bill Vincent en este poderoso libro AVANCE DE LAS FORTALEZAS ESPIRITUALES.

The Worlds of Junipero Serra
Author: Steven W. HackelPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520295390
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
"In September 2015, Junâipero Serra was canonized by Pope Francis in Washington DC against the protest of many Californian Native Americans who criticized his brutal treatment of their ancestors and destruction of their culture. Like most complex historical figures, Junâipero Serra has been interpreted in countless ways, often contextualized mainly in California. This book situates Serra in the context of the three major places that he lived, learned, and proselytized: Mallorca, Mexico, and Alta California. Scholars from all three countries contribute to a rare glimpse into the life of the saint by considering his use of music and art, his representation in popular culture; his education, ideology, and Franciscan influence; the plans and building of the missions; and his relation to native peoples."--Provided by publisher.
Intersections of Race, Class, Gender, and Nation in Fin-de-siècle Spanish Literature and Culture
Author: Jennifer SmithPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1315464845
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This volume focuses on intersections of race, class, and gender in the formation of the fin-de-siècle Spanish and Spanish colonial subject. Despite the wealth of research produced on gender, race (largely as it relates to the themes of nationhood and empire), and social class, few studies have focused on how these categories interacted, frequently operating simultaneously to reveal contexts in which dominated groups were dominating and vice versa.
The Routledge International Handbook of the Crimes of the Powerful
Author: Gregg BarakPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317807316
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 812
Book Description
Across the world, most people are well aware of ordinary criminal harms to person and property. Often committed by the powerless and poor, these individualized crimes are catalogued in the statistics collected annually by the FBI and by similar agencies in other developed nations. In contrast, the more harmful and systemic forms of injury to person and property committed by powerful and wealthy individuals, groups, and national states are neither calculated by governmental agencies nor annually reported by the mass media. As a result, most citizens of the world are unaware of the routinized "crimes of the powerful", even though they are more likely to experience harms and injuries from these types of organized offenses than they are from the atomized offenses of the powerless. Research on the crimes of the powerful brings together several areas of criminological focus, involving organizational and institutional networks of powerful people that commit crimes against workers, marketplaces, taxpayers and political systems, as well as acts of torture, terrorism, and genocide. This international handbook offers a comprehensive, authoritative and structural synthesis of these interrelated topics of criminological concern. It also explains why the crimes of the powerful are so difficult to control. Edited by internationally acclaimed criminologist Gregg Barak, this book reflects the state of the art of scholarly research, covering all the key areas including corporate, global, environmental, and state crimes. The handbook is a perfect resource for students and researchers engaged with explaining and controlling the crimes of the powerful, domestically and internationally.

Father of All
Author: Louise PubolsPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520289072
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
“This deeply researched, engagingly presented, and immensely valuable book demolishes longstanding myths about Mexican California as a colorful, custom-bound world apart. In place of this fantasy past, Louise Pubols offers a history of the de la Guerras that reveals a family and a society caught up in, yet not wholly overcome by, the global economic and political developments of the first half of the nineteenth century.”—Stephen Aron, Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Executive Director of the Institute for the Study of the American West at the Autry National Center “The Father of All combines first-rate historical analysis with in-depth archival research. Don José de la Guerra and his extended family are fascinating historical personages, and their encounters with other Californio elites provide a compelling story, but Pubols takes us to a higher level of understanding by demonstrating the crucial role of extended family ties in the economic and political history of California during the Mexican Period. Pubols provides a convincing argument that family ties kept the prevalent political unrest from breaking out into more violent civil conflict.”—Dr. Jarrell C. Jackman, Executive Director, Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation

The Victorious Counterrevolution
Author: Michael SeidmanPublisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 0299249638
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
This groundbreaking history of the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) examines, for the first time in any language, how General Francisco Franco and his Nationalist forces managed state finance and economic production, and mobilized support from elites and middle-class Spaniards, to achieve their eventual victory over Spanish Republicans and the revolutionary left. The Spanish Nationalists are exceptional among counter-revolutionary movements of the twentieth century, Michael Seidman demonstrates, because they avoided the inflation and shortages of food and military supplies that stymied not only their Republican adversaries but also their counter-revolutionary counterparts—the Russian Whites and Chinese Nationalists. He documents how Franco’s highly repressive and tightly controlled regime produced food for troops and civilians; regular pay for soldiers, farmers, and factory workers; and protection of property rights for both large and small landowners. These factors, combined with the Nationalists’ pro-Catholic and anti-Jewish propaganda, reinforced solidarity in the Nationalist zone. Seidman concludes that, unlike the victorious Spanish Nationalists, the Russian and Chinese bourgeoisie were weakened by the economic and social upheaval of the two world wars and succumbed in each case to the surging revolutionary left.
