Book excerpt: This book depicts characters in a land called Az. This world parallels our own in a variety of ways to the basic life in America, as seen by a child with a different culture. The Essence of Az follows the life of a man who dreams his way back to his childhood years, in wonderment of his grandparent's dream they had for him. He finds himself engulfed in a dream world that's full of fantasies and miracles. His mind trek leads through a journey that he has witnessed before, but in this dream he must carry a destiny that must be fulfilled. He is told he must venture through Az to find the wizard that can help him. He must travel to the city of Ezmeralda, there the wizard leads him on a different quest. The world is dark and backwards and the child must find his destiny with his friends that want some hope to their lives. The journey takes him through the history of Az and why it exists. He realizes that some of the beings that are trapped and have never had a destiny to their lives. They came through the gate with greedy and wrongful intentions. As the child travels this memorable road he becomes aware that he has known a life like this before. The story unfolds with the witch and her world, the sorcerer's and their dark sides, the Citizen's greedy intentions and the simple people that have been caught up in quagmire of not being able to find their rightful bliss to fulfill their confused lives. As the child gets closer to discovering the secrets of Az, he sees the wizard become an Essence and as he ascends he remembers him as God in his real world. Thus, forming the Tri-fiction of the story. The light of god is upon the child through grace, faith and the gift of music. Thus the world is released out of darkness through the gift of music that comes from a seashell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A self-taught artist in several mediums who became known for stippling, Leonard Chana captured the essence of the Tohono OÕodham people. He incorporated subtle details of OÕodham life into his art, and his images evoke the smells, sounds, textures, and tastes of the Sonoran desertÑall the while depicting the values of his people. He began his career by creating cards and soon was lending his art to posters and logos for many community-based Native organizations. Winning recognition from these groups, his work was soon actively sought by them. ChanaÕs work also appears on the covers and as interior art in a number of books on southwestern and American Indian topics. The Sweet Smell of Home is an autobiographical work, written in ChanaÕs own voice that unfolds through oral history interviews with anthropologist Susan Lobo. Chana imparts the story of his upbringing and starting down the path toward a career as an artist. Balancing humor with a keen eye for cultural detail, he tells us about life both on and off the reservation. Eighty pieces of artÑ26 in colorÑgrace the text, and Chana explains both the impetus for and the evolution of each piece. Leonard Chana was a peopleÕs artist who celebrated the extraordinary heroism of common peopleÕs lives. The Sweet Smell of Home now celebrates this unique artist whose words and art illuminate not only his own remarkable life, but also the land and lives of the Tohono OÕodham people

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirituality has consistently been present in the political and cultural counternarratives of Chicanx literature. Calling the Soul Back focuses on the embodied aspects of a spirituality integrating body, mind, and soul. Centering the relationship between embodiment and literary narrative, Christina Garcia Lopez shows narrative as healing work through which writers and readers ritually call back the soul—one’s unique immaterial essence—into union with the body, counteracting the wounding fragmentation that emerged out of colonization and imperialism. These readings feature both underanalyzed and more popular works by pivotal writers such as Gloria Anzaldúa, Sandra Cisneros, and Rudolfo Anaya, in addition to works by less commonly acknowledged authors. Calling the Soul Back explores the spiritual and ancestral knowledge offered in narratives of bodies in trauma, bodies engaged in ritual, grieving bodies, bodies immersed in and becoming part of nature, and dreaming bodies. Reading across narrative nonfiction, performative monologue, short fiction, fables, illustrated children’s books, and a novel, Garcia Lopez asks how these narratives draw on the embodied intersections of ways of knowing and being to shift readers’ consciousness regarding relationships to space, time, and natural environments. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Calling the Soul Back draws on literary and Chicanx studies scholars as well as those in religious studies, feminist studies, sociology, environmental studies, philosophy, and Indigenous studies, to reveal narrative’s healing potential to bring the soul into balance with the body and mind.

Book excerpt: George Breed began walking the paths, streets, and back alleys of Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2009. He had no car and did not want one. Retired from his previous life as a psychologist, martial artist, Marine, and trail hiker, he could roam wherever his spirit and feet took him. He saw sights about which car dwellers, even those who had lived in Flagstaff for years, knew nothing. He quickly added a camera to his daily stroll, to capture and share what he saw. As he walked, he became friends with this mountain town's street people, business owners, politicians, river runners, canyon hikers, buskers, street musicians and photographers, artists of paint and jewelry and acrobatics. The soul of the city made itself known to him. Through this unique book of images, he makes Flagstaff known to readers, who will come away charmed by the artist and his hometown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essence of Zen is an expert's guided tour of the ins and outs of the tradition's approach to meditation, enlightenment, and the oneness of all things. To read it is to enter into one of modern Japanese Zen's most subtle and sophisticated minds. Sekkei Harada skillfully pushes us to drop those parts of ourselves that grasp and make demands regarding our understanding or progress in meditation practice. He enables us to see clearly-and steer clear of-the philosophical stumbling blocks that can make the path precarious. The Essence of Zen represents the most succinct of his teachings, making it of immediate value to anyone with an interest in Zen. The book also contains Harada's explanations of the differences between the tradition's primary schools, making it particularly helpful to newcomers.

Book excerpt: Contrary to popular perceptions, cultural heritage is not given, but constantly in the making: a construction subject to dynamic processes of (re)inventing culture within particular social formations and bound to particular forms of mediation. Yet the appeal of cultural heritage often rests on its denial of being a fabrication, its promise to provide an essential ground to social-cultural identities. Taking this paradoxical feature as a point of departure, and anchoring the discussion to two heuristic concepts—the "politics of authentication" and "aesthetics of persuasion"—the chapters herein explore how this tension is central to the dynamics of heritage formation worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking to both a personal and collective loss, in Brother Bullet Casandra López confronts her relationships with violence, grief, guilt, and ultimately, endurance. Revisiting the memory and lasting consequences of her brother’s murder, López traces the course of the bullet—its trajectory, impact, wreckage—in lyrical narrative poems that are haunting and raw with emotion, yet tender and alive in revelations of light. Drawing on migratory experiences, López transports the reader to the Inland Empire, Baja California, New Mexico, and Arizona to create a frame for memory, filled with imagery, through the cyclical but changing essence of sorrow. This is paralleled with surrounding environments, our sense of belonging—on her family’s porch, or in her grandfather’s orange grove, or in the darkest desert. López’s landscapes are geographical markers and borders, connecting shared experiences and memories. Brother Bullet tugs and pulls, drawing us into a consciousness—a story—we all bear.
