Descripción del libro

Libro Fiscal capitalism and the dismantling of citizenship in Puno, Peru

This excellent history of Peru proposes and proves an entirely new thesis on its nineteenth century: the changes in its economy that might have led to a better future were undone by taxes and other demands at the national, provincial and local levels. The failure of Peru owes a good deal to wartime taxes and local tax farming of the countryside. Professor Christine Hunefeldt does for the mundane issue of taxation what she has already done for Peruvian slavery and women’s rights; she writes a new history based on the evolution of a tax structure that changed for the worse over time. This is the work of a first-rate, mature scholar at the height of her powers. The book should sit right beside Nils Jacobsen, Brooke Larson, and Alberto Flores Galindo. Like other recent historians, Hunefeldt rejects the view that the nineteenth century was largely a continuation of Peru’s colonial period. She emphasizes the disruptions of independence which involved international battles as well as numerous regional and intraregional fights. Archive stories, beautifully told, flesh out the reality in every chapter. Men were conscripted into armies and their families left to starve without them. Taxes paid once had to be paid again when local offices changed hands. Indians, the most numerous portion of the population in Puno, the area on which Hunefeldt focuses, were often a month at most from complete ruin. Women begging for their sons and husbands to be returned. Traders who had been robbed appealing for justice. Hunefeldt’s writing is crisp and available to any educated layman.

Introducción a la investigación social

Libro Introducción a la investigación social

Una de las dificultades básicas que enfrenta el científico social a la hora de resolver de manera inmediata los acuciantes conflictos de la era actual es la gran cantidad de variables interrelacionadas que el mundo real le pone ante sí. Desentrañar sus causas y efectos es arduo, y puede haber casi tantas explicaciones como personas las formulen. Algunos de los obstáculos derivan de la índole misma del método científico; otros son problemas puramente técnicos, propios de la forma de abordar los datos en sociología, economía, psicología y las demás disciplinas sociales. En este...

LA BANDA/ THE GANG.

Libro LA BANDA/ THE GANG.

While gangs and gang culture have been around for countless centuries, The Gang is one of the first academic studies of the phenomenon. Originally published in 1927, Frederic Milton Thrasher's magnum opus offers a profound and careful analysis of hundreds of gangs in Chicago in the early part of the twentieth century. With rich prose and an eye for detail, Thrasher looked specifically at the way in which urban geography shaped gangs and posited the thesis that neighborhoods in flux were more likely to produce gangs. Moreover, he traced gang culture back to feudal and medieval power systems...
