Cet ouvrage emmène le lecteur vers les prémisses des relations entre les États-Unis et Cuba. Il explore une période souvent méconnue de ces relations à travers un récit qui oscille entre histoire politique, histoire diplomatique et histoire littéraire. Rahma Jerad considère le contexte politique, économique et intellectuel cubain aussi bien que la question de la traite négrière, alors au centre des débats internationaux.

The essays in this book explore the political, social and cultural complexity of the relations between the United States and Cuba in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They address aspects ranging from the Cuban exiles who from the States forged the independence of their homeland, the profound transformation of Cuban society during the American military occupation of 1898-1902, the coalitions and the conflicts between North American and Cuban feminism, and between the Afro-American racial identity and the Cuban national identity. At the crux of this relationship is the American military intervention of 1898, perceived in Europe at the time as a "war between civilisations", and the legacy of the thought of José Martí.

La globalización, en sus formas contemporáneas, tiene un impacto sin precedentes en el desplazamiento de prácticas religiosas que antes estuvieron profundamente ancladas en tradiciones, territorios y grupos sociales específicos, sobre todo etnonacionales. Esla obra examina los procesos de transnacionalización de diferentes religiones que recorren en sentido contrario las rutas y los intercambios entre África, Europa y América. Las etnografías contenidas en este volumen describen tradiciones religiosas que viajan en el equipaje de los migrantes para refundar comunidades diaspóricas; religiones afroamericanas que debido a su fama internacional ampliaron y transnacionalizaron su red de parentesco ritual dando paso a la iniciación de nuevos adeptos; misiones cristianas que emprenden la reconquista del viejo continente; circulación de ritos y símbolos en circuitos mercantiles globales que ofrecen segmentos de las tradiciones religiosas reconvertidas en mercancías artísticas, terapéuticas, mágicas y turísticas; y finalmente, fronteras que atravesaron y con ellas transnacionalizaron prácticas religiosas étnicas y nacionales. Todas estas dinámicas de movilización transnacional son objeto de estudios a partir de los cuales analizamos nuevas formas de crear redes, circuitos y liderazgos; pero también nuevos impulsos para fundar naciones imaginadas que atraviesan y trascienden los Estados-nación modernos.

Natural products hold a prominent position in the current discovery and development of drugs and have diverse indications for both human and animal health. Plants, in particular, play a leading role as a source of specialized metabolites with medical effects. Other organisms, such as marine and terrestrial animals and microorganisms, produce very important drug candidate molecules. Specialized metabolites from these varied natural sources can be used directly as bioactive compounds or drug precursors. In addition, due to their broad chemical diversity, they can act as drug prototypes and/or be used as pharmacological tools for different targets. Some examples of natural metabolites that have been developed into useful medical drug are cardiotonic digoxin from Digitalis sp., antimalarial artemisinin from Artemisia annua, anti-cancer taxol from Taxus sp., or podophyllotoxin from Podophyllum peltatum, which served as a synthetic model for the anti-cancer etoposide. The study of natural products is still attracting great scientific attention and their current importance, as a valuable lead for drug discovery, is undebatable. I cordially invite authors to contribute original articles, as well as survey articles, that give the readers of Molecules **MOLECULES NEEDS TO BE ITALICIZED** updated and new perspectives on natural products in drug discovery, including but not limited to natural sources, identification and separation of bioactive phytochemicals, standardization, new biological targets, pre-clinical and clinical trials, pharmacological effects/side effects, and bioassays.
