This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of how one can be both Hispanic and Protestant has perplexed Mexican Americans in Texas ever since Anglo-American Protestants began converting their Mexican Catholic neighbors early in the nineteenth century. Mexican-American Protestants have faced the double challenge of being a religious minority within the larger Mexican-American community and a cultural minority within their Protestant denominations. As they have negotiated and sought to reconcile these two worlds over nearly two centuries, los Protestantes have melded Anglo-American Protestantism with Mexican-American culture to create a truly indigenous, authentic, and empowering faith tradition in the Mexican-American community. This book presents the first comparative history of Hispanic Methodists, Presbyterians, and Baptists in Texas. Covering a broad sweep from the 1830s to the 1990s, Paul Barton examines how Mexican-American Protestant identities have formed and evolved as los Protestantes interacted with their two very different communities in the barrio and in the Protestant church. He looks at historical trends and events that affected Mexican-American Protestant identity at different periods and discusses why and how shifts in los Protestantes' sense of identity occurred. His research highlights the fact that while Protestantism has traditionally served to assimilate Mexican Americans into the dominant U.S. society, it has also been transformed into a vehicle for expressing and transmitting Hispanic culture and heritage by its Mexican-American adherents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Nobel Prize in literature to be awarded to a Latin American writer went to the Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. Famous and beloved during her lifetime all over Latin America and in Europe, Mistral has never been known in North America as she deserves to be. The reputation of her more flamboyant and accessible friend and countryman Pablo Neruda has overshadowed hers, and she has been officially sentimentalized into a "poetess" of children and motherhood. Translations, and even selections of her work in Spanish, have tended to underplay the darkness, the strangeness, and the raging intensity of her poems of grief and pain, the yearning power of her evocations of the Chilean landscape, the stark music of her Round Dances, the visionary splendor of her Hymns of America. During her lifetime Mistral published four books: Desolation, Tenderness, Clearcut, and Winepress. These are included in the "Complete" Nobel edition published in Madrid; the Poem of Chile, her last book, was printed years after her death. Le Guin includes poems from all five books in this volume, with particular emphasis on the later work. The intelligence and passion of Le Guin's selection and translation will finally allow people in the North to hear the originality, power, purity, and intransigence of this great American voice. Le Guin has published five volumes of her own poetry, an English version of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, and a volume of mutual translation with the Argentine poet Diana Bellessi, The Twins, the Dream/Las Gemalas, El Sueño. Strongly drawn to Mistral's work as soon as she discovered it, Le Guin has been working on this translation for five years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth-century Spanish poetry has received comparatively little attention from critics writing in English. Andrew Debicki now presents the first English-language history published in the United States to examine the sweep of modern Spanish verse. More important, he is the first to situate Spanish poetry in the context of European modernity, to trace its trajectory from the symbolists to the postmodernists. Avoiding the rigid generational schemes and catalogs of names found in traditional Hispanic literary histories, Debicki offers detailed discussions of salient books and texts to construct an original and compelling view of his subject. He demonstrates that contemporary Spanish verse is rooted in the modem tradition and poetics that see the text as a unique embodiment of complex experiences. He then traces the evolution of that tradition in the early decades of the century and its gradual disintegration from the 1950s to the present as Spanish poetry came to reflect features of the postmodern, especially the poetics of text as process rather than as product. By centering his study on major periods and examining within each the work of poets of different ages, Debicki develops novel perspectives. The late 1960s and early 1970s, for example, were not merely the setting for a new aestheticist generation but an era of exceptional creativity in which both established and new writers engendered a profound, intertextual, and often self-referential lyricism. This book will be essential reading for specialists in modern Spanish letters, for advanced students, and for readers inter-ested in comparative literature.

Book excerpt: Parece imposible que esto ocurra, quien lo escuche creerá que estoy loca, no me van a entender, solo por su propia experiencia podrán comprobar que nos les digo mentiras, que no los engaño. Todo lo que hacemos tiene efectos que no se ven ni se sienten pero existen, son tan reales como tocarme la cara, mirar el cielo, escuchar tu voz, pensar, sentir, caminar...hechos que afectan tu vida, tu entorno, a los que están a tu lado de una u otra manera. Esas cosas, actitudes, decisiones y pensamientos de lo cotidiano trascienden a lo sobrenatural, a lo desconocido a lo inimaginable a lo impensable. Todo lo que nos ha pasado en tan corto tiempo, lo que hemos vivido es una locura inesperada, insospechada. ¿Qué me iba yo a imaginar que pasaría por todo esto? ¿A dónde llegaremos? ¿Qué nos tocará vivir? ¿Quiénes sí y quiénes no sobrevivirán? ¿Con los que amo, los que conozco y no conozco que pasará? No puedo dejar que las cosas sigan como si nada pasara, tengo que hacer todo lo que esté a mi alcance así tenga que dar mi vida para evitarlo, para que entiendan, para que me escuchen. No lo puedo hacer sola, necesito tu compañía, necesito tu apoyo, necesito tu fortaleza, tu consejo, el camino es muy duro, complejo y difícil pero contigo sé que todo puede ser mucho más fácil, te necesitan, nos necesitan, te necesito, sé que puedes, sé que quieres, sé que amas ¡Ayúdame por favor!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ...va pasando el tiempo en un ir y venir por el pasillo, y para el alba la tormenta ha perdido la fuerza, mientras que "la Escopetilla" ha recuperado las suyas. Recostada entre las almohadas, sorbe una infusión de contrití que Junípero ha hecho para ella. A su lado, Juan José le toma el pulso que ahora late con normalidad. Ninguno de los tres tiene explicación para lo sucedido, hasta que entre las almohadas una bolsa del tamaño de una rosquilla de San Isidro asoma junto al camisón amarillo. En su interior, un dedo de mono seco, quizá el dedo corazón, y una pequeña hoja medio marchita... Esta es la historia de la familia Camaró y "Ojos de Gato", que tras La Guerra Civil Española de 1936, y bajo el régimen del General Franco, emprenden una nueva vida en una tierra extraña y fascinante, como fue La Guinea Española -hoy Guinea Ecuatorial-. Una historia de sentimientos a flor de piel, que marcaron la vida de una niña hasta que en 1968-con la independencia- su familia, como la gran mayoría de los coloniales, dejó esa tierra bendita para no volver.

En este libro, Gorostiza nos presenta una historia absurda y emocionante que sigue a dos personajes, Don Fermín y Doña Lucrecia, que se encuentran en un matrimonio desafortunado. Don Fermín es un anciano noble y orgulloso que se siente abrumado por la decadencia de su familia y su fortuna, mientras que Doña Lucrecia es una mujer joven y atractiva que ha sido casada con él solo por conveniencia. La trama es llena de situaciones absurdas y ridiculizadas, donde los personajes se enfrentan a una serie de errores y malentendidos que les llevan a situaciones cada vez más extremas. El título del libro, "Contigo Pan y Cebolla", se refiere a la costumbre mexicana de agregar pan y cebolla a los platos para hacerlos más sabrosos, lo que se convierte en una metáfora para la vida de los personajes, que están constantemente agregando ingredientes a su relación para intentar hacerla más rica y satisfactoria. A medida que lees "Contigo Pan y Cebolla", te encontrarás entretenido por la ironía y la comedia de errores que rodean a los personajes. La obra es considerada uno de los clásicos de la literatura mexicana del siglo XIX, y su influencia ha sido reconocida por escritores como Octavio Paz y otros muchos.

Book excerpt: La obra podría llamarse, "expresiones, sentires, enfoques, puntos de vista", intrascendentes, quizás, pero necesariamente humanos. Siguiendo a Borges, podríamos decir que son "cuentos según la expectativa del lector". Si el lector no se acerca a ellos esperando leer cuentos, pues no lo son. Son, simplemente, rasgos de vida humana objetivada, reflejos de experiencias propias o ajenas, pues también de las experiencias de otros aprendemos y vivimos. Momentos de lo humano a los que (dijo Terencio), no podemos ser ajenos, meras salidas espontáneas de las flores, de las espinas, de los abrojos y de las piedras que llevamos por dentro... No pretendemos ser el "espejo que anda por el camino", sino mostrar el camino para que el espejo del lector lo perciba y lo interprete a su manera, conforme a su propia luz...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yunuen es un pequeño que es adoptado por Uyama y Pedro quienes se convierten en sus tutores responsables esto debido a un lejano pariente que fallece en el pueblo vecino a ellos. Uyama en el trayecto de recoger al niño debe regresar por la selva y montes que separan a los dos pequeños pueblos, pero en la trayectoria de regreso, conoce a un duende maldito cuya responsabilidad es custodiar la entrada a las puertas del inframundo y a un joven de raíces mayas con dones sobrenaturales, quienes tienen un pequeño enfrentamiento del cual Uyama y el pequeño salen ilesos gracias a que llegan Pedro y algunos amigos, pero en ese pequeño lapso el joven maya le solicita que cuando haya pasado un determinado tiempo Uyama deberá entregarle al pequeño. Lo llaman Yunuen y vive un tiempo con ellos aprendiendo aceleradamente, pero al ver que ya no le podían enseñar mas, sin más Uyama muy a su pesar va a donde se encuentra el joven maya y le entrega a Yunuen; en donde el niño sin negarse se va con el y se maravilla del bosque mágico en el que ahora se encuentra y conforme va creciendo y aprendiendo en un mundo mágico de duendes, hadas y seres mágicos que se convierten en sus amigos y donde el joven maya se convierte en su maestro y mentor quien ayudados por otros maestros le enseñan a defenderse, desarrollar y controlar sus dones sobrenaturales. Más adelante en un descuido el Maestro mentor es atacado por el ente maldito, quién a su vez a estado asediando a los pueblerinos y acechando al pueblo con la intención ya marcada de apoderarse de ese prospero y pequeño lugar a lo que Yunuen tiene dos trabajos uno salvar al pueblo y el segundo es que sin saber que esta situación será el medio para salvar a su maestro mentor de sus maléficas garras, pero para ello él se tendrá que enfrentar al ente maldito y a sus soldados que andan con él.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rafael Guillen's poems are infused with the land and the people of Andalusia. He lays before us all the harshness and beauty of his country - the calm seashore and the violent revolutions, the wheat fields and the famine, the children and the laborers suffering through days like hot coals. In light of this history, Guillen gives his words sharp edges tinged with a certain tender grief. A quiet force builds up behind the complex imagery and compact language as Guillen reflects on coming of age in Civil War Spain and situations of love, life, death, and faith in modern-day Granada, Paris, and the United States. Sandy McKinney, working closely with Guillen, accurately captures the unusual syntax and emotional tone of the work of this important Spanish poet. Included here is McKinney's interview with the poet where Guillen explains his connection to the tradition of Andalusian poetry, a proud literary tradition filled with a sensual delight in the beauty of particular words, in their sound as well as their significance.
