(Years of development and progressive political writings). ISBN: 978-9945-412-61-1

This 300 page, 9 x 6 paperback  explores Dr. Fernández first political awakenings and reflections. Many of these ideas were initially exposed through the People’s Vanguard newspaper, mouthpiece of the Party of the Dominican Liberation (PLD for its name in Spanish), in which he worked as editor on the international section for several years. It is a comprehensive mosaic of ideas depicting the spirit of an era, the seventies, from the perspective of a young, restless radical, with an unusual maturity and curiosity, opening up into a world undergoing profound change.

(The offense of public opinion: censorship, freedom of expression and ideology).
ISBN: 978-9945-412-56-7

After more than three decades, Dr. Fernández , updates and expands the first edition of his thesis at the Department of Law at Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD). The second edition of the book, published in 2011 by FUGLODE and comprising 312 pages, is an effort to systematize, from a sociological and legal point of view, the role of ideology and the right to information.
 
The books, which are currently only available in Spanish, have been sold on a limited basis at GFDD and FUNGLODE events. Exposure on Amazon will help to secure new markets for both publications and proceeds from all sales will go towards financing the organizations’ programs and projects.
