Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume critically analyses political strategies, civil society initiatives and modes of representation that challenge the conventional narratives of women in contexts of violence. It deepens into the concepts of victimhood and agency that inform the current debate on women as victims. The volume opens the scope to explore initiatives that transcend the pair abuser–victim and explore the complex relations between gender and violence, and individual and collective accountability, through politics, activism and cultural productions in order to seek social transformation for gender justice. In innovative and interdisciplinary case studies, it brings attention to initiatives and narratives that make new spaces possible in which to name, self-identify, and resignify the female political subject as a social agent in situations of violence. The volume is global in scope, bringing together contributions ranging from India, Cambodia or Kenya, to Quebec, Bosnia or Spain. Different aspects of gender-based violence are analysed, from intimate relationships, sexual violence, military contexts, society and institutions. Re-writing Women as Victims: From Theory to Practice will be a key text for students, researchers and professionals in gender studies, political sciences, sociology and media and cultural Studies. Activists and policy makers will also find its practical approach and engagement with social transformation to be essential reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La autora comparte en este libro la historia de Laura, una mujer que pasa más de veinte años con el anhelo de volver a ver a quien fue su primer amor (Que en la historia se describirá como Él). Después de su divorcio decide buscar información a través de las redes sociales y para su desdicha lo encuentra. Ella retoma de nuevo la relación que había quedado interrumpida años atrás, pensando que será feliz, pero estaba lejos de imaginar que Él se había convertido en un ser oscuro disfrazado de un hombre amoroso. Laura decide cruzar el continente junto a sus hijas para poder reencontrarse de nuevo con ese gran amor del pasado. Se casaron para empezar lo que ella imaginaba sería una vida perfecta en el país de las oportunidades. Muy pronto Laura presiente que su cuento de hadas no se hará realidad, por el contrario, se convierte en una verdadera pesadilla y ella en víctima de abuso, acoso y violencia doméstica. La autora describe el precio que tuvo que pagar Laura al firmar el acta de matrimonio que la llevaría a convivir bajo el mismo techo y dormir en la misma cama con quien se convirtió en su peor enemigo y a mantenerse en pánico cada día durante varios años. Laura termina acostumbrándose a cohabitar en la oscuridad porque sólo se sentía segura cuando Él dormía. Mercedes J. Benoit aporta su punto de vista de acuerdo con estadísticas que cada día arrojan los reportes de las instituciones que trabajan ayudando a las víctimas de abuso y violencia. Quiere hacer un llamado a la sociedad a no estigmatizar a las víctimas, culpándolas o juzgándolas como merecedoras del maltrato, crear conciencia en el lector y al mismo tiempo ofrecer un halo de esperanza de que se puede salir hacia la luz, enfrentar el pánico y recuperar la libertad. En la historia Laura lucha por sacar a sus hijas de ese infierno en el que las había metido, no sin sufrir las represalias del ser oscuro, tuvo que aprender a callar e intentar cambiar la personalidad de ese hombre en quien puso sus esperanzas, pero su esfuerzos fueron en vano, el tiempo y las circunstancias cambian a las personas, nada se queda detenido, los seres humanos ser transforman, algunos para bien y otros para mal, y Él más que ninguno, se había convertido en un ser manipulador, controlador y maltratador. Laura lucha con todas sus fuerzas y trata de armar un plan para emprender la huida y salvarse del terror y el miedo que cada día tenía que soportar, cada noche era peor que la otra, y eso le estaba pasando factura. Llego a enfermarse por el pánico, sentía que su corazón cada vez estaba más débil y su voluntad casi anulada. Laura lucha por superarse, recuperar la libertad y resurgir de las cenizas como el Ave Fénix. Cada día oímos y vemos casos de violencia domestica o de género, mujeres sobre todo que gritan cada día su angustia, su pánico y su terror al tener que convivir con una pareja que las maltrata. De igual manera en las redes y los motores de búsqueda online se investigan miles y miles de frases como: "Mi pareja me pega", "Que hacer si mi pareja me maltrata", "como enfrentar el pánico", "como escapar de la persona que me maltrata", "cómo puedo recuperar mi libertad". Son realmente innumerables pedidos de auxilio de las víctimas de violencia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Me llamo Héctor, acabo de cumplir cincuenta años y soy abogado de profesión, aunque mi pasión es escribir. La historia que voy a relatarles en primera persona, es una historia de amor y más de desamor, pero sobre todo de violencia. Una violencia que se nos oculta en los medios de comunicación y en las redes sociales, en los que siempre la mujer es la victima de la violencia. Una violencia a veces sicológica y en ocasiones física. Hace años pegar a una mujer por desgracia era normal, hoy no se puede tolerar por la ley ni por nadie, sin embargo, pegar a un hombre es algo que parece que no existe y la gente no habla de ello y no le dan la menor importancia cuando conocen algún caso, porque piensan que el hombre siempre es más fuerte que la mujer, no ya solo físicamente, sino de espíritu y de valores. Y por ese motivo, el hombre del que hablamos nunca levanta la mano a una mujer a pesar de ser agredido. Y por fortuna, y no digo por desgracia, todavía existimos muchos hombres así. Hay personas que identifican al hombre como maltratador y nada más lejos de la realidad. Es cierto que hay más casos de violencia hacia la mujer que hacia el hombre, pero eso no es motivo para que se oculte. Este libro trata de ese tipo de violencia, la violencia oculta, la violencia silenciada, la que no tiene cabida en la sociedad, la que no existe para casi nadie. La ley de la violencia de género es una ley hecha exclusivamente para la mujer. Se condena la violencia contra la mujer, pero no la violencia contra el hombre. Es una ley que por el simple hecho de que una mujer denuncie al hombre ya se puede considerar a este como culpable. Es una ley especial para condenar al hombre por la única razón de ser o haber sido pareja de hecho o haber tenido una relación análoga al matrimonio.

Book excerpt: La violencia doméstica suele aparecer de manera silenciosa. La mujer no siempre es consciente de que está siendo sometida a una relación violenta, así que acepta sin más los primeros ataques del agresor a su autoestima, libertad e integridad; no obstante, aquella opresión en principio verbal y psicológica llega al colmo de darse a la par del maltrato físico, arrastrando a la mujer a un callejón del que desgraciadamente no todas pueden salir. Carmen -que ha sido víctima y sobreviviente- entiende las complejidades de este terrible proceso, así que por medio de su experiencia y de su continua formación en el tema, orienta a la mujer para que esta pueda reconocer cuándo se encuentra en riesgo de sufrir violencia. Complementariamente aborda de un modo muy didáctico sus componentes y sus implicaciones, el porqué de muchos comportamientos -de la víctima, del victimario y otros implicados- y qué hacer cuando se vive en este tormento. Ámate y avanza es una invitación a la mujer a no rendirse, a entender que hay un futuro prometedor a pesar de haber recibido este golpe bajo de la persona que menos esperaba. Es, además, una denuncia social que busca contribuir a la erradicación de este mal vergonzoso.

Book excerpt: Si tu pareja te ignora, te vigila, te hace daño o te miente... ¿por qué seguir con ella? ¿Por qué soportar una relación que te hace sufrir? Aquí te va una verdad dolorosa: El amor no es suficiente para mantener unida a una pareja. Y, en algunos casos, aquello que tú consideras «amor» no es más que posesión, miedo y costumbre. Walter Riso explora algunos de los motivos que llevan a las personas a cansarse de su relación. Si estás incómodo con tu vida amorosa, y lo has intentado casi todo, quizá sea hora de replantearse algo más de fondo. ¿El amor se terminó o eres tú quien se cansó de ese amor? A partir de cartas de despedida escritas por el autor, aprende a decir adiós cuando solo puedes pensar: «Te amo, ¡pero ya no te aguanto!». Deja de sufrir inútilmente y permite que el realismo se imponga.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] firecracker of a debut . . . Abreu's novel, in Julia Sanches's sparkling translation, is a revelation, perfectly capturing a festering summer of meltdowns and shrinking horizons." —The New York Times My Brilliant Friend meets Blue is the Warmest Color in this lyrical debut novel set in a working-class neighborhood of the Canary Islands—a story about two girls coming of age in the early aughts and a friendship that simmers into erotic desire over the course of one hot summer. High near the volcano of northern Tenerife, an endless ceiling of cloud cover traps the working class in an abject, oppressive heat. Far away from the island’s posh resorts, two girls dream of hitching a ride down to the beach and escaping their horizonless town. It’s summer, 2005, and our ten-year-old narrator is consumed by thoughts of her best friend Isora. Isora is rude and bossy, but she’s also vivacious and brave; grownups prefer her, and boys do, too. That's why sometimes she gets jealous of Isora, who already has hair on her vagina and soft, round breasts. But she's definitely not jealous that Isora’s mother is dead, nor that Isora's fat, foul-mouthed grandmother has her on a diet, so that she is constantly sticking her fingers down her throat. Besides, she would do anything for Isora: gorge herself on cakes when her friend wants to watch, follow her to the bathroom when she takes a shit, log into chat rooms to swap dirty instant messages with strangers. But increasingly, our narrator finds it hard to keep up with Isora, who seems to be growing up at full tilt without her—and as her submissiveness veers into a painful sexual awakening, desire grows indistinguishable from intimate violence. Braiding prose poetry with bachata lyrics and the gritty humor of Canary dialect, Dogs of Summer is a story of exquisite yearning, a brutal picture of girlhood and a love song written for the vital community it portrays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.

With a college-bound future now disappearing before her eyes, Veronica considers a decision she never imagined she’d have to make: an abortion. There’s just one catch—the closest place to get one is over nine hundred miles away. With conservative parents, a less-than-optimal boyfriend, and no car, Veronica turns to the only person who won’t judge her: Bailey Butler, a legendary misfit at Jefferson High—and Veronica’s ex-best friend. What could go wrong? Not much, apart from three days of stolen cars, crazed ex-boyfriends, aliens, ferret napping, and the betrayal of a broken friendship that can’t be outrun. Under the starlit skies of the Southwest, Veronica and Bailey discover that sometimes the most important choice is who your friends are. This breakout novel is from authors Jenni Hendriks (writer for How I Met Your Mother) and Ted Caplan (music editor for The Hate U Give).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its earliest manifestations on the street corners of nineteenth-century Buenos Aires to its ascendancy as a global cultural form, tango has continually exceeded the confines of the dance floor or the music hall. In Tango Lessons, scholars from Latin America and the United States explore tango's enduring vitality. The interdisciplinary group of contributors—including specialists in dance, music, anthropology, linguistics, literature, film, and fine art—take up a broad range of topics. Among these are the productive tensions between tradition and experimentation in tango nuevo, representations of tango in film and contemporary art, and the role of tango in the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. Taken together, the essays show that tango provides a kaleidoscopic perspective on Argentina's social, cultural, and intellectual history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries.

Book excerpt: This volume explores the significations and developments of the Salsa consciente movement, a Latino musico-poetic and political discourse that exploded in the 1970s but then dwindled in momentum into the early 1990s. This movement is largely linked to the development of Nuyolatino popular music brought about in part by the mass Latino migration to New York City beginning in the 1950s and the subsequent social movements that were tied to the shifting political landscapes. Defined by its lyrical content alongside specific sonic markers and political and social issues facing U.S. Latinos and Latin Americans, Salsa consciente evokes the overarching cultural-nationalist idea of Latinidad (Latin-ness). Through the analysis of over 120 different Salsa songs from lyrical and musical perspectives that span a period of over sixty years, the author makes the argument that the urban Latino identity expressed in Salsa consciente was constructed largely from diasporic, deterritorialized, and at times imagined cultural memory, and furthermore proposes that the Latino/Latin American identity is in part based on African and Indigenous experience, especially as it relates to Spanish colonialism. A unique study on the intersection of Salsa and Latino and Latin American identity, this volume will be especially interesting to scholars of ethnic studies and musicology alike.
