Salsa y expresión social
No full textLa Salsa es cosa seria. Bailarla, oiría, sentirla, es darse a esa identidad latina enriquecida por los aportes de una cultura que tuvo en la región del Caribe su asiento particular. La Salsa, por expresar sentimientos y visiones de grupos humanos importantes en nuestro continente, es un elemento básico en el reconocimiento de nuestra conciencia cultural. Es por ello que hemos invitado, en este número de la revista ANALISIS POLITICO, a cuatro especialistas en el tema: José Arteaga, César Pagano, Bertha Quintero y Alejandro Ulloa

No full textBertha Waddell letter to Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association, September 28, 1914
No full textIn this letter, written on September 28, 1914, Mrs. Bertha Waddell wrote to the headquarters of the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association to request literature on the Equal Suffrage amendment and to ask how much it would cost for the material.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

Lay Down Your Arms
No full textDie Waffen nieder! (1889), translated into English in 1892 as Lay Down Your Arms, was an international bestseller. Its Austrian author Bertha von Suttner (1843-1914) chose the medium of fiction in order to reach as broad an audience as possible with her pacifist ideals. Challenging the narrow nationalisms of nineteenth-century Europe, Suttner believed that disputes between nations should be settled by means of arbitration rather than armed conflict. She devoted her life to campaigning for the cause of peace, and in 1905 became the first female recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Suttner’s influential novel yields insights into the early development of calls for a united Europe and an end to the arms race.
This English translation of the novel was carried out as a ‘labour of love’ by the eminent Victorian surgeon and medical scholar Timothy Holmes (1825-1907), the editor of Gray’s Anatomy, for whom this was an unusual foray into the world of fiction. Holmes was Vice-Chairman of the London-based International Arbitration and Peace Association and a contemporary of Suttner. His translation helped to spread Suttner’s views across the Anglophone world, and contributed to the growth of the peace movement in the period before the First World War
