Indio

Resumen del Libro

Libro Indio

Located halfway between Los Angeles and Yuma, Arizona, Indio came into being as a railroad town in 1876 when the Southern Pacific Railroad completed this last link in its southern transcontinental route. Settling this arid land took ingenuity and courage, and Indio's early residents had both. In the 1930s, Indio became a mining town when 92 miles of tunnel were dug through its eastern mountains for the Los Angeles Aqueduct, the largest construction project in the United States during the Depression. World War II brought Gen. George Patton's Desert Tank Corps to train nearby and crowd into Indio for rest and relaxation. The completion of the Coachella Branch of the All-American Canal brought Colorado River water to the desert in the late 1940s, and a land boom ensued. Today Indio's reputation as the "Date Capital of the United States" and "City of Festivals" is long held and well deserved.

Guaridas del lobo

Libro Guaridas del lobo

¿Qué hacer con el legado de un dictador tras su muerte o caída? Esta memoria conflictiva también incluye una herencia material, que va desde la tumba del autócrata a los lugares concretos vinculados a sus víctimas, pasando por el espacio público representado por el nomenclátor o los monumentos. Las guaridas del lobo repasa cómo la Europa contemporánea se ha enfrentado a sus propios fantasmas, cómo ha resignificado de modo particular los espacios estrechamente vinculados a la biografía y memoria del tirano, y cómo ha integrado —no sin contradicciones— este pasado incómodo en...
