**Nikki Gomez takes us to a Mindanao tempered by the winds of national change, from the romance of revolutions past to the euphoria of People Power, from the giddiness of globalization to the tragedy of plunder and debasement.**

*The Spanish Civil War* vividly reconstructs in words and pictures —many never before seen outside Spain— the struggles of the war as well as discussing the wide implications of the revolution in the Republican zone, the emergence of a brutal dictatorship on the nationalist side and the extent to which the Spanish war was a dress rehearsal for the Second World War to come.

Ideas como las de autogestión, democracia directa y apoyo mutuo han sido defendidas tanto por el anarquismo que vio la luz en la Europa del siglo XIX como por muchos pueblos indígenas que espontáneamente las han llevado a la práctica desde tiempo inmemorial. Este libro estudia la relación entre esos dos mundos, y lo hace con la voluntad de alentar, en paralelo, una definitiva descolonización del propio pensamiento anarquista. Sirve como introducción, también, a la realidad, comúnmente olvidada, de los anarquismos que adquirieron carta de naturaleza en América, África, Asia y Oceanía.
Aristophanes
The women of Athens concoct a daring scheme: to infiltrate the male-dominated Assembly disguised as men and to vote themselves into power, after which they will overturn the old laws and inaugurate a new society where all are equal and where property - sex, too! - is shared. This new translation by Robert Mayhew of one of playwright Aristophanes' last surviving plays recaptures the spirit, the bawdiness, and the brilliance of this rollicking farce which is at the same time a profound critique of contemporary Greek customs and manners. A full introduction and explanatory notes provide important background material on communistic ideas current in fifth- and fourth-century B.C.E. Greek thought as well as on historical and other details relevant to the text.
