Esplora i mondi delle donne azteche, dei sacerdoti e dei guerrieri, in una straordinaria ricreazione della vita quotidiana in città. Mettendo in contrasto la bellezza e la raffinatezza della cultura azteca con la ferocia del sacrificio umano, tenta di spiegare la filosofia, i rituali e le strutture sociali che sono alla base di questo straordinario impero.AztechiCiviltàBNCF972.018CLENDINNEN,Inga772946cbaITcbaREICAT996407850203316EBERAztecs1768826UNISA04809nam 22006975 450 991045647090332120210210002750.00-8014-6154-510.7591/9780801461545(CKB)2550000000039580(EBL)3138143(OCoLC)732957104(SSID)ssj0000529809(PQKBManifestationID)11329631(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000529809(PQKBWorkID)10557118(PQKB)10445948(MiAaPQ)EBC3138143(OCoLC)966814185(MdBmJHUP)muse51784(DE-B1597)478436(OCoLC)979743948(DE-B1597)9780801461545(MiAaPQ)EBC5272246(Au-PeEL)EBL5272246(OCoLC)1027153727(EXLCZ)99255000000003958020190708d2016 fg engur|||||||nn|ntxtccrGlobal Unions Challenging Transnational Capital through Cross-Border Campaigns /Kate BronfenbrennerIthaca, NY :Cornell University Press,[2016]©20071 online resource (275 p.)Frank W.

Global Unions includes original research from scholars around the world on the range of innovative strategies that unions use to adapt to different circumstances, industries, countries, and corporations in taking on the challenge of mounting cross-border campaigns against global firms. This collection emerges from a landmark conference where unionists, academics, and representatives of nongovernmental organizations from the Global South and the Global North met to devise strategies for labor to use when confronting the most powerful corporations such as Wal-Mart and Exxon Mobil. The workplaces discussed here include agriculture (bananas), maritime labor (dock workers), manufacturing (apparel, automobiles, medical supplies), food processing, and services (school bus drivers).Kate Bronfenbrenner's introduction sets the stage, followed by contributions describing specific examples from Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Bronfenbrenner's conclusion focuses on the key lessons for strengthening union power in relation to global capital.Frank W.
