ya no Soy nadie
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
la historia oficial no siempre es toda la historia, lo que aprendemos en los la escuela no es necesario y es nuestro deber estar enterados de cualquier evento, ya sea bueno o malo, nada nadie, no solo cuenta los hechos malos si no la actitud de un pueblo.
Must Read on Urban Poor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book provides an excellent account of the Mexico city earthquate. Yet what is most poignant about it is that it describes the events through the eyes of the urban poor. IT is very detailed in description, and at times graphic. Some of the accounts are inspiring, while many of them reveal the true nature of the Mexican ruling class. If anyone is interested in urban poor in South America, this book is a must read. It will have you cheering the silent heroism of so many poor Mexicans, while at the same time arousing a feirce anger towards the government that let so many of them down.The book also conveys to the reader a sense of the magnitude of Mexican city and how devasting the earthquake was. It reveals how the poor are so dramatically affected by such an event, yet how they are so often forgotten. Literally, to the point of death. This is an excellent book.
