The twin themes of authority and resistance are the focus of this volume, explored through topics such as landholding and secular politics, the church and religious orders and contemporary imagery andits reception. Together, the papers combine to illustrate the variety of ways in which historians of the "long" thirteenth century are able to examine the practices and norms through which individuals and institutions sought to establish their authority, and the ways in which these were open to challenge.

En diciembre de 1977, cuatro mujeres mineras se declararon en huelga de hambre exigiendo al gobierno del general Banzer la amnistía general para los perseguidos políticos. Tres semanas después, alrededor de 1200 huelguistas se habían sumado al movimiento y crecían las huelgas mineras y fabriles, las manifestaciones de apoyo, la participación de la Iglesia. Finalmente, el gobierno tuvo que decretar la amnistía exigida: los exiliados podían retornar al país, los prisioneros políticos fueron liberados, los mineros injustamente despedidos podían volver a sus fuentes de trabajo. La dictadura minada intenta explicar el surgimiento, desarrollo y excepcional desenlace de la resistencia impulsada por las cuatro mujeres mineras. Fue excepcional por la respuesta nacional que motivó y por los resultados que obtuvo: logró minar la férrea dictadura instalada en el país desde 1971. Este libro no sólo es un aporte a la historiografía boliviana sobre ese acontecimiento, sino también contribuye a comprender el papel de las resistencias civiles en los procesos de retorno a la democracia en América Latina.

In 2011, the Middle East saw the dictators of Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen deposed in a matter of weeks by non-violent marches. Imprecisely described as 'the Arab Spring', the revolution has been convulsing the whole region. It failed in some countries, and was not sustained in others after the dictators' fall. Beyond this uneven course, 'Philosophy of Nonviolence' examines how 2011 may have ushered in a fundamental break in the human journey, one animated by non-violence, which the book argues is the new anima of the philosophy of history.

Place of Thorns: Black Political protest in Kroonstad since 1976, is a landmark study that examines the tumultuous and often fractious politics in Kroonstad's black townships. In spite of the town's relative obscurity, the author demonstrates a rich tradition of civic and political life in its townships and provides a persuasive explanation for the violence unleashed in the 1990s after decades of relative political 'quiescence'. Based on scores of life-history interviews, the book illustrates a shift in the political mood from 1976 onwards. Inspired by the philosophies of black consciousness and the Congress movement, students developed a radical attitude and they spearheaded and shaped political protests in the townships up to the 1990s. However, tensions between the local civic associations and the regional and national ANC leadership ultimately cost the ANC the first democratic local government elections in Kroonstad. As a work of revisionist history, this book showcases South Africa's nuanced liberation history that unfolded in smaller, less known places. The book is essential reading for scholars and students, and everyone interested in the South African liberation history, 'local' histories, political mobilisation and protests.
