Un libro sobre cómo las emociones colectivas explican el rumbo de un continente, Latinoamérica.

En todas las sociedades, como en las personas, existe una tensión entre lo que Baruch Spinoza denominaba las «emociones tristes» y las emociones amables o plácidas. Cada país tiende hacia un polo u otro, y esto define su identidad cultural. Algunas naciones se han inclinado demasiado hacia los sentimientos malsanos, sobre todo en el ámbito de la política.

Es el caso de América Latina, una región que ha padecido demasiados conflictos que se habrían podido resolver, pero terminaron en una guerra, proyectos truncados por disputas, buenas leyes que no se promulgaron por la incapacidad de llegar a acuerdos o líderes sensatos que se perdieron por sus mezquindades. Todos estos pesares habrían sido más fáciles de superar si no hubiesen estado envenenados por las furias de la política, por el cerramiento emocional de los espíritus.

Este libro explora la historia del continente latinoamericano a partir de las emociones y muestra cómo esa perspectiva permite un mejor entendimiento de sus problemas: la violencia, la corrupción, la falta de unidad social, la ineficacia del Estado, el incumplimiento de las leyes y las dificultades para consolidar la democracia. Así, Mauricio García Villegas analiza el papel que el dolor y el odio han ejercido en los asuntos sociales y políticos de América Latina.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A book about how collective emotions explain the direction of a continent, Latin America.

In all societies, as in people, there is a tension between what Baruch Spinoza called "sad emotions" and gentle or placid emotions. Each country tends towards one pole or the other, and this defines its cultural identity. Some nations have leaned too far into unhealthy feelings, especially in the realm of politics.

This is the case of Latin America, a region that has suffered too many conflicts that could have been resolved but ended in war, projects truncated by disputes, good laws that were not enacted because of the inability to reach agreements, or sensible leaders who were lost because of their pettiness. All these sorrows would have been easier to overcome if they had not been poisoned by the furies of politics, by the emotional enclosure of spirits.

This book explores the history of the Latin American continent based on emotions and shows how this perspective allows a better understanding of its problems: violence, corruption, lack of social unity, the inefficiency of the State, non-compliance with laws and the difficulties in consolidating democracy. Thus, Mauricio García Villegas analyzes the role that pain and hatred have played in the social and political affairs of Latin America.

Very basic
Format: Paperback
The idea of the book is to be condensed and concise but there is too much information that should be expanded on that is not. The writers of this book seem to think students using the book have a strong pediatric background but for FNPs that isn’t always the case. I found myself having to do research outside of the book to understand the chapters. Also there were many typos and mislabeled diagrams.

Poorly written
Format: Paperback
I had to get this for my class. I wish I had a different textbook because it is poorly written, does not explain details, hard to follow the sentences in a certain sections, A LOT of typos (totally misspelled name of the disease). I don't think this is very good textbook material.
