El Boleo: Santa Rosalía, Baja California Sur, 1885-1954

El estudio de Juan Manuel Romero Gil sobre "El Boleo" de 1885 a 1954 está en la tradición de una nueva historia de la minería. Sin descuidar o ignorar la historia tradicional del descubrimiento y apertura de El Boleo, él examina por primera vez a profundidad muchas facetas interconectadas en la evolución de esa empresa: los mercados, la tecnología, el fínanciamiento internacional, los problemas de transportación, las actitudes gubernamentales, el reclutamiento obrero, las condiciones de vida, y las diversas fuerzas laborales que trabajaron en las casi insoportables condiciones de la...

“Each war entails the destruction of the human soul” (Henry Miller). Humanity should not lose its memory, even if some may try to conceal it. From the hindsight afforded by the passing of 75 years from the events narrated, with freedom of thought and a totally independent standpoint, Pacific Media have undertaken an arduous research which has resulted in the series: “The Finest Hours of WWII".
