Estudios en Derechos Humanos de la Universidad de Pennsylvania


Gracias a la información que nos mando Bert Lockwood de la Universidad de Pennsylvania, aquí esta el catálogo de las publicaciones de la Pennsylvania Press en materia de derechos humanos. Destacan libros que desarrollan temas relacionados con el multiculturalismo, derechos humanos de la mujer, derechos humanos en el comercio entre otros aspectos. Para una información detallada del catálogo, pinche aquí...

Hoy hablábamos precisamente con un colega que seguramente sería mejor comprar los libros por Amazon.com, que en las librerías de Bogotá en donde llegan muy caros o no se consiguen, lo intentaré y les contaré. Se que en estos de las compras virtuales todavía estoy en la edad de piedra, pero ya es hora de que lo empiece a hacer...
