A traves de los testimonios de varias mujeres, este libro describe la diversidad de sus viajes y sus trayectorias de regreso despues de cinco a siete años de trabajo. Estos perfiles combinan las investigaciones llevadas a cabo por el autor desde 1987 sobre la construccion de redes de circulacion y comercio "poor to poor" en el area euromediterranea. A partir de sus relatos, estas trayectorias revelan, en el viaje de ida, la presencia de grupos criminales y mafiosos, y, en el de vuelta, el derrocamiento de la dominacion machista de un pequeño porcentaje de estas mujeres que nunca habrian experimentado tal avance economico y social permaneciendo en su pais de origen, aun seguramente manteniendo relaciones con las mafias iniciales.

Siguiendo el estilo narrativo de Madera de eucalipto quemada, Ennatu Domingo invita al lector a acompañarla en un relato nómada a través de distintos países de África y Europa. A través de diferentes niveles de narracion intercalados, la autora recuerda su estancia como voluntaria en un campo de refugiados de las Naciones Unidas al norte de Grecia el verano de 2017. Esta experiencia se convirtio en un espejo: en el campamento habia jovenes refugiadas que, como Ennatu, eran originarias de Etiopia y se preguntaban como podia al otro lado, mientras que, de entre todas las europeas voluntarias, Ennatu era la unica no blanca, factor que hizo que la confundieran con una etiope refugiada, de las del otro lado del espejo.A partir de esta experiencia, el recuerdo del campo de refugiados desde Grecia hasta Maastricht, al sur de Holanda, donde vivio y trabajo como politologa investigadora durante unos años, pasando por paises de Europa central y africanos como Zambia, Kenia, Etiopia, Zimbabue y Senegal, Ennatu se fija en la mirada que proyectamos los unos sobre los otros dependiendo del lado del espejo en el que estamos y constata como las relaciones entre Europa y Africa se rigen por un racismo inherente en lo referente a la migracion y las politicas de desarrollo.

We love to imagine the future But why are groundbreaking future technologies always just around the corner and never a reality For decades we ve delighted in dreaming about a sci fi utopia from flying cars and bionic humans to hyperloops and smart cities And why not Building a better world be it a free flying commute or an automated urban lifestyle is a worthy dream Given the pace of technological change nothing seems impossible anymore But why are these innovations always out of reach Delving into the remarkable history of technology The Long History of the Future introduces us to the clever scientists genius engineers and eccentric innovators who first brought these ideas to life and have struggled to make them work since These stories reveal a more realistic picture of how these technologies may evolve and how we ll eventually get to use them You may never be able to buy a fully driverless car but automated braking and steering could slash collision rates Smart cities won t perfect city life but they could help empty bins on time Hyperloops may never arrive but superfast trains are already here We always believe current technology is the best it could be By looking to the past and the future Nicole Kobie shows how history always proves
