The Portuguese Language Continuum in Africa and Brazil
This is the first publication in English to offer studies on a whole set of varieties of Portuguese in Africa as well as Brazilian Portuguese. Authored by specialists on varieties of Portuguese in Africa and Brazil, the eleven chapters and the epilogue promote a dialogue between researchers interested in their genesis, sociohistories and linguistic properties. Most chapters directly address the idea of a continuum of Portuguese derived from parallel sociohistorical and linguistic factors in Africa and Brazil, due to the colonial expansion of the language to new multilingual settings. The volume contributes to the understanding of structural properties that are often shared by several varieties in this continuum, and describes the various situations and domains of language use as well as sociocultural contexts where they have emerged and where they are being used.

Hybrid Cultures
When it was originally published in 1995, Hybrid Cultures was foundational to Latin American cultural studies. This now-classic work features a new introduction in which Néstor García Canclini calls for a cultural politics to contain the damaging effects of globalization and responds to theoretical developments over the past decade. García Canclini questions whether Latin America can compete in a global marketplace without losing its cultural identity. He moves with ease from the ideas of Gramsci and Foucault to economic analysis, from appraisals of the exchanges between Octavio Paz and Jorge Luis Borges to Chicano film and graffiti. Hybrid Cultures at once clarifies the development of democratic institutions in Latin America and reveals that the most destructive ideological trends are still going strong.

Hybrid cultures : strategies for entering and leaving modernity
Traditions not quite past and modernity not yet wholly present make a curious hybrid of Latin American culture. In this thought-provoking book, a leading Mexican intellectual explores the theoretical and practical challenges presented by such a hybrid state. In particular, Néstor García Canclini questions whether Latin America can move toward democracy and compete in a global marketplace without giving in to temptations of elitism or losing its cultural identity.

Psicoterapias humanistas
En este libro se hace un recorrido por las psicoterapias humanistas que, en el extenso mapa de las psicoterapias, han significado: a) la capacidad para romper los esquemas vigentes sobre la concepción del ser humano en el momento en que nació, al entenderlo como una globalidad bio-psico-socio-espiritual unificada y única; b) la creatividad a la hora de desarrollar métodos de intervención novedosos y efectivos sobre cada uno de los subsistemas que integran la compleja unidad del sujeto; c) la concepción del proceso psicoterapéutico como la experiencia de un encuentro profundo, respetuoso y cálido entre dos personas iguales y expertas (cada una en sus ámbitos respectivos), experiencia que genera salud mental y crecimiento personal y social; y d) la importancia dada a la investigación, el desarrollo y la concreción de los requisitos del vínculo terapéutico -base en la que se apoya todo el proceso- para que este sea efectivo. Sus aportaciones han enriquecido el conjunto de modelos psicoterapéuticos vigentes y continúan siendo imprescindibles en el desarrollo de la psicoterapia.
