"A prominent PRI politician draws together useful information on the Catholic Church in the context of the 1992 constitutional reforms. Especially valuable are the polling data utilized by the Office of the President. Although data were compiled over an extended period of time, they provide considerable insight into popular views during the reform year"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

"Through a detailed study of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, or the IODE, the British Empire's largest women's patriotic organisation, this book examines the relationship between female imperialism and national identity. It throws new light on women's involvement in imperialism; on the history of 'conservative' women's organisations; on women's interventions in debates concerning citizenship and national identity; and on the history of women in white settler societies." "This important study of a fascinating organisation will be of interest to historians of Imperial History, Gender Studies and Postcolonial Studies."--Jacket.

Le triomphe bruyant de la mort à l'âge baroque porta préjudice à sa propre intelligence : le dynamisme dont fut investi le vocable baroque détourna les regards vers le sensible et noya l'intelligible dans le spectaculaire. Ainsi, cet ouvrage se propose-t-il de porter un regard, à la fois nouveau et dégagé de tout raccourci, sur les implications idéologiques, morales, religieuses et dramaturgiques du phénomène de la mort dans un poème tragique.
