Este libro, desde una perspectiva comparativa, explora los campos literarios y culturales de España y Taiwán bajo regímenes autoritarios en el siglo XX, centrándose en la etapa final del franquismo y los inicios de la transición democrática (1960-1979), así como en las dos últimas décadas del régimen de la ley marcial bajo el gobierno de los Chiang en Taiwán (1970-1989). A través del análisis de la situación editorial, los fenómenos culturales en torno a los premios literarios y el ascenso de una nueva generación de novelistas, se revela cómo la literatura, bajo presión política, impulsó una renovación estética y una crítica simbólica. Este libro se estructura en cuatro capítulos que recorren, respectivamente, los marcos históricos y culturales generales, el papel de los editores y editoriales representativos en la publicación de la novela, los premios literarios más destacados y, finalmente, la irrupción de las nuevas generaciones literarias. El estudio señala que, a pesar de la diver

His family moves so much for his dad's work that it's easier to keep his head down and not get attached to anyone. He'll be gone in a few months anyway. But when they end up in Los Angeles, Dad promises this will be the last time they move. The Pacific Crest Apartments are home now . . . which means it's time for Jake to finally make friends. Jake isn't sure he should count the two kids he meets at the apartment's community center as friends, though. Tank Vuong is a large and intimidating boy who hangs with a tough crowd, and Emily Quesada is a fashionista who's quick with a sarcastic remark. But when he discovers an old computer lab in a forgotten corner of the community center, with a strange Minecraft server containing cryptic riddle

Blending documentary and conceptual photography, de Middel's account of migrants traveling to California brings the plight of immigration into harsh reliefCristina de Middel (born 1975), the first Spanish head of Magnum Photos, has been traveling for years with Mexican migrants on the train they call "the beast" interviewing sicarios (hired killers) and talking for hours with "coyotes" (clandestine smugglers) and police officers. She combines her own photographs with objects found in the desert and archival footage, creating a multi-layered narrative that evokes the hardships and dangers of searching for a better life. The journey begins in Tapachula, a city on the southern border of Mexico with Guatemala, and ends in Felicity, a small town in California dubbed the "Center of the World." This saga is punctuated by the accounts of three migrants recounting their crossing, as well as a commentary by the artist. An afterword by Mexican journalist Pedro Anza illuminates the issues at stake
