Camilo Torres
Camilo Torres: Priest, Liberation Theologian, Guerrilla Fighter takes an in-depth look at the intense story of Colombian figure Camilo Torres Restrepo (1929–1966). Torres was an acclaimed young liberal who became a priest, a sociologist, a forerunner of liberation theology, and a revolutionary politician who sought to end 130 years of terrible human suffering in his country and to replace it with a Christian humanism based on “efficacious love.” This goal proved challenging to accomplish, and Torres ultimately found his way into the ranks of the Colombian ELN guerrilla movement, in which he was killed in February 1966, leaving behind a prophetic hope.This book is a vital resource for historians and students of Latin America. It especially appeals to those interested in church policy, the theology of liberation, and guerrilla movements. As the first English-language publication on this subject in 50 years – since the last account of Torres’s life in 1975 – it breaks new ground. Furthermore, it represents the first exploration of how Jewish thought influenced Torres’s theoretical framework, adopting a prophetic justice perspective that resonates with the struggles of Colombia and similar regions in the developing world. This is not just a historical account; it’s a call to understand and confront injustice wherever it exists.

Francesc Torres: What Does History Know of Nail-Biting?
Barcelona-born, New York-based artist Francesc Torres (born 1948), a pioneer of installation art, is one of the most important European artists of his generation. In What Does History Know of Nail-Biting, which borrows its subtitle from Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon, the artist explores a body of work made by Harry Randall, a photographer and filmmaker who was one of 3,500 Americans who joined the International Brigades to fight in the Spanish Civil War. Many of the so-called Abraham Lincoln Brigade did not make it home, but Randall did. Forty-five minutes of 16mm film, shot by Randall between 1937 and 1938, becomes the material for Torres' new limited-edition artist's book, which explores what history looks like outside of concrete historical events, trying to capture the fragmentation and confusion that silently seeps through the official narratives of history.

Poetry of Francisco de la Torre
Francisco de la Torre has long been praised as an outstanding poet in the mould of Garcilaso de la Vega and his simplicity of style and soft, gentle, Arcadian environment of his poetry have been emphasized. In this volume Professor Hughes attempts to define more accurately the position of Francisco de la Torre's verse in the evolution of Spanish poetry in the sixteenth century, revealing that Torre's vision of the pastoral world and his poetic language show him to be a transitional poet of considerable quality and substance and not merely an imitator of Garcilaso. Hughes demonstrates that while some of Torre's poetry follows a general pastoral pattern, his descriptions are characterized by a sense of movement through a shifting perspective and that even in poems with a traditional pastoral setting, the descriptions sometimes negate the pastoral qualities. The author also shows that Torre, rather than looking back towards Garcilaso and his contemporaries, is already anticipating - especially in his stylistic technique and in his view of nature - the attitude of the seventeenth century.

Torres Strait Islanders
The Torres Strait Islanders are Australia's 'other' indigenous minority. Their experience of colonialism and their reaction to their position in Australian society provides a striking counterpoint to that of the Aborigines. The author applies many years of study and work among the Torres Strait Islanders to provide a new account of their changing world in the islands and their changing role in Australia. A Melanesian people, the Torres Strait Islanders' cultural affinities originally lay with the Papuans to the north rather than the Aborigines to the south. But by the logic of European colonialism, they were made a part of the State of Queensland. The pearling industry has exploited their labour, but left them in occupation of their islands. The Queensland government has allowed them a degree of autonomy in local affairs which many would contrast with its approach to Aborigines. The Torres Strait Islanders have thus had the space in which to develop a rich and vital way of life that they still call 'island custom', which has, however, changed from that described in the classic anthropological research begun by A. C. Haddon just a hundred years ago. This provided the starting point for Dr Beckett, who has studied and worked with Torres Strait Islanders since the 1950s, and this book links the personal experience of the author, the professional insights of the anthropologist, and the perceptions of past and present held by the Islanders themselves.
