“…Taking into account the forms of production and the activities derived from them in the peri-urban area, the chapters discuss the production of cut flowers; horticultural production mostly in greenhouses; life in the communities of Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and Bolivian migrants who have territorialized the area creating spatial mediations in order to take root in the place; and, in turn, all the problems derived from certain dynamics linked to the activities generated by a mostly migrant population that has settled for years on the periphery of the city El presente libro está conformado por un conjunto de trabajos enfocados en las diferentes territorialidades emergentes que se han configurado a partir de las actividades primarias de producción agrícola en la zona periurbana del partido de La Plata. …”

“…Known in this time for his re-interpretation of the sixteenth-century Dutch Revolt against the Habsburgs, that challenged existing historiographies of both Belgium and the Netherlands but was also linked to his political activism in favour of the Flemish movement in Belgium, Geyl left his stamp on the British perception of Low Countries history before moving back to his country of origin in 1935. Having spent World War II in German hostage camps, he famously coined the adage of history being 'a discussion without end' and re-engaged in public debates with British historians after the war, partly conducted on the airwaves of the BBC. …”
