El ferrocarril transcontinental (The Transcontinental Railroad)

People today refer to the Midwestern and prairie states as flyover country. During the Civil War, crossing those areas was the biggest obstacle in uniting the East and West Coasts of our divided nation.

El racismo constituye una de las páginas más vergonzosas de la historia contemporánea. Una ideología del odio que ha marcado las relaciones entre las culturas y las naciones de nuestro tiempo presente. El presente libro trata de acercarse a las raíces históricas e ideológicas de la doctrina racista, a su desarrollo mundial durante los siglos XIX y XX y a su ocaso en nuestros tiempos. La cuestión se expone con un lenguaje claro, pero a la vez riguroso y muy contrastado, exponiendo numerosas citas de especialistas en el tema, o de las propias fuentes originales.
