Download or read book Rethinking the Struggle for Puerto Rican Rights written by Lorrin R Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking the Struggle for Puerto Rican Rights offers a reexamination of the history of Puerto Ricans’ political and social activism in the United States in the twentieth century. Authors Lorrin Thomas and Aldo A. Lauria Santiago survey the ways in which Puerto Ricans worked within the United States to create communities for themselves and their compatriots in times and places where dark-skinned or ‘foreign’ Americans were often unwelcome. The authors argue that the energetic Puerto Rican rights movement which rose to prominence in the late 1960s was built on a foundation of civil rights activism beginning much earlier in the century. The text contextualizes Puerto Rican activism within the broader context of twentieth-century civil rights movements, while emphasizing the characteristics and goals unique to the Puerto Rican experience. Lucid and insightful, Rethinking the Struggle for Puerto Rican Rights provides a much-needed introduction to a lesser-known but critically important social and political movement.

Download or read book Becoming Taiwan written by Ann Heylen and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2010 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important aspects of democracy has been the transition from colonialism. In Taiwan this discussion is typically framed in political discourse that focuses on theoretical issues. Becoming Taiwan departs from this well-traveled route to describe the cultural, historical and social origins of Taiwan's thriving democracy. Contributors were specifically chosen to represent both Taiwanese and non-Taiwanese researchers, as well as a diverse range of academic fields, from Literature and Linguistics to History, Archeology, Sinology and Sociology. The result represents a mixture of well-known scholars and young researchers from outside the English-speaking world. The volume addresses three main issues in Taiwan Studies and attempts answers based in the historical record: How Chinese is Taiwan? Organizing a Taiwanese Society, and Speaking about Taiwan. Individual chapters are grouped around these three themes illustrating the internal dynamics that transformed Taiwan into its current manifestation as a thriving multiethnic democracy. Our approach addresses these themes pointing out how Taiwan Studies provides a multidisciplinary answer to problems of the transformation from colonialism to democracy.

Download or read book Indian Captivity in Spanish America written by Fernando Operé and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even before the arrival of Europeans to the Americas, the practice of taking captives was widespread among Native Americans. Indians took captives for many reasons: to replace--by adoption--tribal members who had been lost in battle, to use as barter for needed material goods, to use as slaves, or to use for reproductive purposes. From the legendary story of John Smith's captivity in the Virginia Colony to the wildly successful narratives of New England colonists taken captive by local Indians, the genre of the captivity narrative is well known among historians and students of early American literature. Not so for Hispanic America. Fernando Operé redresses this oversight, offering the first comprehensive historical and literary account of Indian captivity in Spanish-controlled territory from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. Originally published in Spanish in 2001 as Historias de la frontera: El cautiverio en la América hispánica, this newly translated work reveals key insights into Native American culture in the New World's most remote regions. From the "happy captivity" of the Spanish military captain Francisco Nuñez de Pineda y Bascuñán, who in 1628 spent six congenial months with the Araucanian Indians on the Chilean frontier, to the harrowing nineteenth-century adventures of foreigners taken captive in the Argentine Pampas and Patagonia; from the declaraciones of the many captives rescued in the Rio de la Plata region of Argentina in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to the riveting story of Helena Valero, who spent twenty-four years among the Yanomamö in Venezuela during the mid-twentieth century, Operé's vibrant history spans the entire gamut of Spain's far-flung frontiers. Eventually focusing on the role of captivity in Latin American literature, Operé convincingly shows how the captivity genre evolved over time, first to promote territorial expansion and deny intercultural connections during the colonial era, and later to romanticize the frontier in the service of nationalism after independence. This important book is thus multidisciplinary in its concept, providing ethnographic, historical, and literary insights into the lives and customs of Native Americans and their captives in the New World.

This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium" je konečným výsledkem mé sedmnáctileté cesty transformace Kundalini po plném a trvalém probuzení v roce 2004, které trvale rozšířilo mé vědomí. Poté, co jsem zažil kompletní vizuální upgrade, který mi umožňuje denně pozorovat holografickou podstatu světa, jsem věděl, že to, co se mi stalo, je jedinečné. Proto jsem se pro další část svého života rozhodla využít svého daru a věnovat se poznávání vědy o neviditelném světě energie, s nímž jsem úzce propojena, a zároveň rozvíjet správné jazykové dovednosti, abych mohla své objevy srozumitelně sdělovat. Probuzení Kundaliní je součástí poslání vaší Duše na Zemi. Jeho konečným cílem je optimalizovat vaše toroidální energetické pole (Merkaba) a proměnit vás v bytost Světla, která umožní mezidimenzionální cestování prostřednictvím vědomí. Mít odpovídající znalosti v této oblasti vám může umožnit převzít kontrolu nad svým Duchovním vývojem a naplnit svůj osud, abyste mohli v příštím životě pokračovat v cestě po Hvězdách. To je důvod, proč jsem napsal tuto knihu. "Serpent Rising: The Kundaliní Kompendium" obsahuje vše, co potřebujete vědět o tématu Kundaliní, včetně vlivu procesu Vzestupu na lidskou anatomii a role, kterou hraje nervový systém, jak odemknout plný potenciál svého mozku a probudit sílu svého srdce a jak využít Duchovní léčebné metody, jako jsou krystaly, ladící vidličky, aromaterapie a tattvy, ke zvýšení vibrací svých čaker. Velká část knihy je věnována filozofii a praxi jógy (s ájurvédou), včetně seznamu ásan, pránájám, muder, manter a meditací a návodů k jejich použití. Podrobně se také zabývám procesem probuzení a transformace Kundaliní, včetně trvalého a částečného probuzení, lucidního snění, siddhí (psychických schopností), mimotělních zážitků, role jídla, vody, živin a sexuální energie během integrace a vrcholných událostí v celkovém procesu transfigurace. Protože jsem byl vědcem a laboratoří v jednom, obsahuje tato kniha všechny mé znalosti a zkušenosti získané na mé Duchovní cestě, včetně základních meditací, které jsem vyvinul při setkání se stagnacemi a blokacemi energie Kundaliní. A konečně, protože jsem v průběhu let pomohl mnoha lidem probuzeným v Kundaliní, kteří "tápali ve tmě" a hledali odpovědi, zahrnul jsem do knihy i jejich nejčastější otázky a obavy. "Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium" je důkladný a pokročilý výklad o Kundaliní, který si musí přečíst každý, kdo se zajímá o toto téma a svůj duchovní růst.

Download or read book Racism in American Popular Media written by Brian D. Behnken and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the media—including advertising, motion pictures, cartoons, and popular fiction—has used racist images and stereotypes as marketing tools that malign and debase African Americans, Latinos, American Indians, and Asian Americans in the United States. Were there damaging racist depictions in Gone with the Wind and children's cartoons such as Tom and Jerry and Mickey Mouse? How did widely known stereotypes of the Latin lover, the lazy Latino, the noble savage and the violent warrior American Indian, and the Asian as either a martial artist or immoral and tricky come about? This book utilizes an ethnic and racial comparative approach to examine the racism evidenced in multiple forms of popular media, enabling readers to apply their critical thinking skills to compare and analyze stereotypes, grasp the often-subtle sources of racism in the everyday world around us, and understand how racism in the media was used to unite white Americans and exclude ethnic people from the body politic of the United States. Authors Brian D. Behnken and Gregory D. Smithers examine the popular media from the late 19th century through the 20th century to the early 21st century. This broad coverage enables readers to see how depictions of people of color, such as Aunt Jemima, have been consistently stereotyped back to the 1880s and to grasp how those depictions have changed over time. The book's chapters explore racism in the popular fiction, advertising, motion pictures, and cartoons of the United States, and examine the multiple groups affected by this racism, including African Americans, Latino/as, Asian Americans, and American Indians. Attention is also paid to the efforts of minorities—particularly civil rights activists—in challenging and combating racism in the popular media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This delightful memoir is a deeply personal tale of one family, but it's also about much larger things: America and tribal identity, love and rivalry, and the moral lessons to be learned as you grow up." Walter Isaaon For years, people have been asking Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel, the brash, outspoken, and fiercely loyal eldest brother in the Emanuel clan, the same question: What did your mom put in the cereal? Middle brother Rahm is the mayor of Chicago, erstwhile White House chief of staff, and one of the most colorful figures in American politics. Youngest brother Ari is a Hollywood superagent, the real-life model for the character of Ari Gold on the hit series Entourage. And Zeke himself, whom the other brothers consider to be the smartest of them all, is one of the world's leading bioethicists and oncologists, and a former special advisor for health policy in the Obama administration. How did one family of modest means produce three such high-achieving kids? Here, for the first time, Zeke provides the answer. Set amid the tumult of Chicago in the 1960s and 1970s, Brothers Emanuel recounts the intertwined histories of these three rambunctious, hypercompetitive Jewish American boys, each with his own unique and compelling life story. But ultimately, this is the story of the entire Emanuel family: the tough, colorful Old World grandparents; a mischievous, loving father who immigrated to the United States with twenty-five dollars and who enthralled his boys with tales of his adventures in Israel's war for independence; and a proud, politically engaged mother who took the boys with her to rallies and protests—including a civil rights march through the streets of Chicago led by Martin Luther King, Jr., himself. Even as the Emanuels distinguished themselves as individuals, the bond of brotherhood that tied them together was never broken. Brothers Emanuel is a wry, rollicking, and often poignant narrative of how one American family succeeded in raising three extraordinary children.
