Cariños y recuerdos de una pandemia reúne los escritos de 15 integrantes del Programa Universitario de Estudios sobre Asia y África (PUEAA), quienes recurren al género epistolario a fin de plasmar sus vivencias durante la pandemia por Covid-19.
Como escribe Alicia Girón, los integrantes del PUEAA "soñábamos con realizar actividades en diferentes lugares, como Corea, China, Japón, India, Marruecos, Senegal, Sudáfrica y España [...] pero todo cambió el 16 de marzo, cuando se decretó el cierre de todas las actividades". Así, las cartas contenidas en este libro están dirigidas en su mayoría a seres queridos o admirados que viven fuera de México. De este modo, los autores nos permiten vislumbrar no sólo su propio mundo privado e intereses de estudio sino también el de sus interlocutores, dándonos por ende una muestra de su sensibilidad ante un evento que ha afectado a todo el mundo. En efecto, la variedad de termas expuestos en las cartas van desde la nostalgia del encuentro físico, hasta la angustia debido al número de muertos y contagiados, pasando por los avatares de la vida cotidiana.
Acompañado de las ilustraciones de Yussef A. Galicia, Cariños y recuerdos de una pandemia revela con delicadeza el "compromiso de cada autor [...] tuvo para transmitir sus vivencias durante la pandemia de Covid-19 en el 2020".
Three decades after the birth of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, profound changes have been observed in the international economic system. Today, this intergovernmental forum faces major challenges in implementing its ambitious agenda in the areas of economic liberalization, trade facilitation and cooperation among member countries. Readers of this book will find in it a detailed diagnosis of its evolution and achievements, but also of the problems it faces in the present "crisis of multilateralism", triggered by the neo-protectionist policies of the United States. In order to achieve this objective, leading national researchers from public and private higher education institutions, most of which are members of the Mexican Consortium of APEC Study Centers, were invited to participate under the leadership of the APEC Study Center located within the University Program for Asian and African Studies (PUEAA) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
