Book Synopsis Making It in America by : Elliott Robert Barkan
Download or read book Making It in America written by Elliott Robert Barkan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-05-01 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of over 400 biographies of eminent ethnic Americans celebrates a wide array of inspiring individuals and their contributions to U.S. history. The stories of these 400 eminent ethnic Americans are a testimony to the enduring power of the American dream. These men and women, from 90 different ethnic groups, certainly faced unequal access to opportunities. Yet they all became renowned artists, writers, political and religious leaders, scientists, and athletes. Kahlil Gibran, Daniel Inouye, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Thurgood Marshall, Madeleine Albright, and many others are living proof that the land of opportunity sometimes lives up to its name. Alongside these success stories, as historian Elliot R. Barkan notes in his introduction to this volume, there have been many failures and many immigrants who did not stay in the United States. Nevertheless, the stories of these trailblazers, visionaries, and champions portray the breadth of possibilities, from organizing a nascent community to winning the Nobel prize. They also provide irrefutable evidence that no single generation and no single cultural heritage can claim credit for what America is.

Download or read book The Funhouse written by Fernando AlegrÕa and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 1986-06-30 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Funhouse is a surrealistic vision of American society and politics during the era of the Vietnam War. The protagonist, recently emigrated from Latin-America to the United States, experiences the Vietnam-tainted culture through the warped lens of an amusement park funhouse. Relationships are subjected to the Chamber of Horrors which perverts love, sex and family into random acts of corruption, violence and inhumanity. All who seek love and companionship must pass through the Hall of Mirrors which reveals the truth about the often distorted and obscured self-image. AlegrÕa captures the spirit and ideology of the sixties and reignites its guiding light of salvation: uncompromising, all-embracing love.

This book was released on 2008-08-30 with total page 1444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From East L.A. to the barrios of New York City and the Cuban neighborhoods of Miami, Latino literature, or literature written by Hispanic peoples of the United States, is the written word of North America's vibrant Latino communities. Emerging from the fusion of Spanish, North American, and African cultures, it has always been part of the American mosaic. Written for students and general readers, this encyclopedia surveys the vast landscape of Latino literature from the colonial era to the present. Aiming to be as broad and inclusive as possible, the encyclopedia covers all of native North American Latino literature as well as that created by authors originating in virtually every country of Spanish America and Spain. Included are more than 700 alphabetically arranged entries written by roughly 60 expert contributors. While most of the entries are on writers, such as Julia Alvarez, Sandra Cisneros, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Oscar Hijuelos, and Piri Thomas, others cover genres, ethnic and national literatures, movements, historical topics and events, themes, concepts, associations and organizations, and publishers and magazines. Special attention is given to the cultural, political, social, and historical contexts in which Latino literature has developed. Entries cite works for further reading, and the encyclopedia closes with a selected, general bibliography.

Book Synopsis Women in Hispanic Literature by : Beth Miller
Download or read book Women in Hispanic Literature written by Beth Miller and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topics covered by this pioneering collection of essays range from peninsular Spanish to Latin American literature, from the eleventh to the twentieth centuries, and from the subject of women as portrayed in Hispanic literature to the literature of Hispanic women writers. Some pieces present polemical feminist arguments, other are more traditional. All the contributors use their subject to take new stands on old controversies, ask new questions, and reevaluate important aspects of Hispanic literature. While there is ample evidence in these essays of the dual archetype in Hispanic literature of women as icon and woman as fallen idol, the collection reaches beyond these stereotypes to more complex sociological and theoretical concerns. Although such research has ben abundantly pursued by scholars of English and American literature, it has been notably absent from Hispanic studies. This anthology is a comprehensive introduction to its subject and a stimulus to further work in the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communal Feminisms explores identity and exile from three different perspectives: theory, interviews, and imaginative literature.

Book Synopsis The Medicine of Memory by : Alejandro Murguía
Download or read book The Medicine of Memory written by Alejandro Murguía and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American Book Award winner’s creative memoir “traces his own family's history, as well as the long story of Hispanics in America . . . Spirited writing” (Library Journal). People who live in California deny the past, asserts Alejandro Murguía. In a state where what matters is keeping up with the current trends, fads, or latest computer gizmo, no one has the time, energy, or desire to reflect on what happened last week, much less what happened ten years ago, or a hundred. From this oblivion of memory, he continues, comes a false sense of history, a deluded belief that the way things are now is the way they have always been. In this work of creative nonfiction, Murguía draws on memories—his own and his family’s reaching back to the eighteenth century—to (re)construct the forgotten Chicano-indigenous history of California. He tells the story through significant moments in California history, including the birth of the mestizo in Mexico, destruction of Indian lifeways under the mission system, violence toward Mexicanos during the Gold Rush, Chicano farm life in the early twentieth century, the Chicano Movement of the 1960s, Chicano-Latino activism in San Francisco in the 1970s, and the current rebirth of Chicano-Indio culture. Rejecting the notion that history is always written by the victors, and refusing to be one of the vanquished, he records, and draws us into, his own California history.
