This book was released on 2006-03-28 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Juan Diego, Eduardo Chávez presents the most important points of the Great Guadalupan Event: the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego, a recently converted indigenous man, in Mexico. Through a utilization of the numerous historical documents and investigations of this event, Chávez details the reality of what occurred in the cold winter of 1531. As described by Pope John Paul II, "The Guadalupan Event is the perfectly inculturated Evangelization model." Chávez's historical analysis not only represents strong scholarship, but also draws the reader closer to the spiritual power of the events. As the newest contribution to the series Celebrating Faith: Explorations in Latino Spirituality and Theology, this work is of course ideal for use in Latino Studies, but also appeals to wider audience more curious about the Guadalupan event and its meaning for contemporary Christianity.

Book excerpt: Every December 12th, thousands of Mexican immigrants gather for the mass at New York City’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s feast day. They kiss images of the Virgin, wait for a bishop’s blessing—and they also carry signs asking for immigration reform, much like political protestors. It is this juxtaposition of religion and politics that Alyshia Gálvez investigates in Guadalupe in New York. The Virgin of Guadalupe is a profound symbol for Mexican and Mexican-American Catholics and the patron saint of their country. Her name has been invoked in war and in peace, and her image has been painted on walls, printed on T-shirts, and worshipped at countless shrines. For undocumented Mexicans in New York, Guadalupe continues to be a powerful presence as they struggle to gain citizenship in a new country. Through rich ethnographic research that illuminates Catholicism as practiced by Mexicans in New York, Gálvez shows that it is through Guadalupan devotion that many undocumented immigrants are finding the will and vocabulary to demand rights, immigration reform, and respect. She also reveals how such devotion supports and emboldens immigrants in their struggle to provide for their families and create their lives in the city with dignity.

Muchos de sus personajes son forzados a dejar su patria a causa de la violencia y la pobreza. Pero al encontrarse en la tierra prometida, lejos de su familia y amigos en un país cuy lengua y cultura no comprenden, se sienten abrumados por sentimientos de pérdida. En 'El Niño Dragón,' un grupo de huérfanos de la guerra civil salvadoreña se unen para sobrevivir, aún cuando son abusados por explotadores. En 'El Plan,' un exitoso millonario suizo retorna a su nativo El Salvador -- el cual dejó como un huérfano indefenso -- y ejecuta su despiadado plan para vengarse de los responsables del brutal asesinato de su familia. Y en 'De Australia Con Amor,' una emigrante salvadoreña planea casarse con un paisano que conoció en la Internet, hasta que cae en la cuenta de que lo ha visto antes." --From publisher's description.

Book excerpt: According to legend, on December 8, 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to the newly Christianized Juan Diego on the Mexican hill of Tepeyacac. As proof of her divine visit, she miraculously imprinted her image upon his mantle. That image, known as Our Lady of Guadalupe, has become a symbol of national consciousness in Mexico and a talisman for Mexican Americans. Yet its notable features include obviously European artistic techniques. How is it that Renaissance styles are employed in a 16th century Mexican icon supposedly not made by human hands? Looking beyond the divine explanation for the Lady's existence, author John Moffitt uses historical and artistic detective work to determine the work's earthly origin. Originally published in Spanish, this volume provides an in-depth study of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It places the work within the context of art history as well as local contemporary events. The mundane origin of the painting is fully traced and investigated as well as the proliferation of the legend which led to the eventual canonization of Juan Diego as the first native Mexican saint. Appendices provide crucial related Spanish-language texts by Miguel Sanchez (1648) and Luis Laso de la Vega (1649, originally published in Nahuatl). Numerous illustrations are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlos Chávez (1899–1978) is the central figure in Mexican music of the twentieth century and among the most eminent of all Latin American modernist composers. An enfant terrible in his own country, Chávez was an integral part of the emerging music scene in the United States in the 1920s. His highly individual style—diatonic, dissonant, contrapuntal—addressed both modernity and Mexico's indigenous past. Chávez was also a governmental arts administrator, founder of major Mexican cultural institutions, and conductor and founder of the Orquesta Sinfónica de México. Carlos Chávez and His World brings together an international roster of leading scholars to delve into not only Chávez’s music but also the history, art, and politics surrounding his life and work. Contributors explore Chávez’s vast body of compositions, including his piano music, symphonies, violin concerto, late compositions, and Indianist music. They look at his connections with such artistic greats as Aaron Copland, Miguel Covarrubias, Henry Cowell, Silvestre Revueltas, and Paul Strand. The essays examine New York’s modernist scene, Mexican symphonic music, portraits of Chávez by major Mexican artists of the period, including Diego Rivera and Rufino Tamayo, and Chávez’s impact on El Colegio Nacional. A quantum leap in understanding Carlos Chávez and his milieu, this collection will stimulate further work in Latin American music and culture. The contributors are Ana R. Alonso-Minutti, Amy Bauer, Leon Botstein, David Brodbeck, Helen Delpar, Christina Taylor Gibson, Susana González Aktories, Anna Indych-López, Roberto Kolb-Neuhaus, James Krippner, Rebecca Levi, Ricardo Miranda, Julián Orbón, Howard Pollack, Leonora Saavedra, Antonio Saborit, Stephanie Stallings, and Luisa Vilar Payá.

Book excerpt: Desde hace tiempo, tenía deseos de escribir algo interesante y narrar mis sueños, vivencias y experiencias. El haber logrado lo anterior, no ha sido fácil por ello admiro a los literatos. Dicen que el trabajo es empezar, aunque vayas escribiendo para algunas personas puras pendejadas, pero no se atreven. Lo que hago es con alegría y entusiasmo para compartirlo con los amantes de la lectura. Es diferente y original, para dejarle al lector buen sabor de boca y si deja mensaje tanto mejor. A través de estas páginas, toco temas históricos y costumbres de mi amado México. Encontraran anécdotas, parte de mi lírica, albures, cuentos y canciones; destacando los episodios de mi loca y fantasiosa mente. Tratare de llevar una escritura acorde a los temas y si caigo en lo vulgar, son cosas del vulgo, pero sin ganas de ofender. Usare un lenguaje culto y pícaro, cuando las circunstancias así lo requieran. Si lo hiciera diferente se perdería lo jocoso y no es la idea... ¡Aunque la patria no me lo demande!, pobre patria como la chingamos. Pero sigue erecta y bella. A continuación quiero dedicar un poema, a todo el que tenga el valor de comprar el libro y a los que no... ¡También!, pues aunque son gorrones, tienen derecho a conocer novedades literarias, que de algo han de servir. "Pobre patria mía, como la han chingado"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta novela está basada en la vida real de una persona, la que al igual que su hermano y sus padres se encontraron con que el destino les tenía una encrucijada de cambios en sus vidas. Desterrados por motivos de la guerra civil en su natal España, ella y su familia huyen y en ello les va separarse por caminos diferente. Zarpando rumbo a América. Ya estando cercanos a su destino, el barco naufragó y ella junto con su madre lograron llegar a tierras mexicanas. Su padre y su hermano a tierras guatemaltecas. Es aquí donde empieza para ella una nueva vida, con cambios inesperados y no siempre felices. La manera en que el destino la separó de sus padres y de su hermano la puso en una posición muy vulnerable, pero encontró en una familia de buen corazón el amor y protección que la vida le había quitado. Los hilos que el destino tejió alrededor de su vida la llevaron a situaciones desgarradoras. En el transcurso de todos estos acontecimientos tuvo felicidad y amor, pues encontró a su esposo, quien le dio una familia que es la que hasta la fecha la tiene de pie. Hay que remarcar que a lo largo de su vida, en cada pérdida tenida, el cielo borraba las estrellas del firmamento, como queriendo decirle que también estaba de luto y la cobijaba en su manto de la noche oscura.
