Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relata en forma ágil los pormenores de una su suigéneris investigación para tratar de dejar en claro de una vez por todas la imposibilidad de la supuesta paternidad del rey español Felipe V sobre uno de los antepasados del Autor, el capitán Juan Diego Longoria, uno de los fundadores en 1749, junto a otras 40 familias, de Santa Ana de Camargo en el antiguo Nuevo Santander. A algunos de los descendientes del capitán Longoria les fueron mercedades por la Corona Española, en 1767, tierras de extensas dimensiones al Norte del Río Bravo, mismas que a raíz del Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo quedaron del lado de territorio norteamericano. El rumor -llegado a oídos del Autor en 1986- de una supuesta herencia derivada de la extracción de petróleo en dichas tierras y que estaría a disposición de sus descendientes hasta la octava generación, amén de un viaje realizado por el Autor a España, Francia y Portugal en 1989, fueron motivo de su primer libro que no rebasó el ámbito familiar. En este su segundo corrige los errores y omisiones en que incurrió en el primero y de paso descubre cómo algunos de los apellidos más conocidos de la región forman parte de su árbol genealógico.
Book Synopsis Guadalupe in New York by : Alyshia Galvez
Download or read book Guadalupe in New York written by Alyshia Galvez and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Book Synopsis Discourses on Nations and Identities by : Daniel Syrovy
Download or read book Discourses on Nations and Identities written by Daniel Syrovy and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress "The Many Languages of Comparative Literature" includes contributions that focus on the interplay between concepts of nation, national languages, and individual as well as collective identities. Because all literary communication happens within different kinds of power structures - linguistic, economic, political -, it often results in fascinating forms of hybridity. In the first of four thematic chapters, the papers investigate some of the ways in which discourses can establish modes of thinking, or how discourses are in turn controlled by active linguistic interventions, whether in the context of the patriarchy, war, colonialism, or political factions. The second thematic block is predominantly concerned with hybridity as an aspect of modern cultural identity, and the cultural and linguistic dimensions of domestic life and in society at large. Closely related, a third series of papers focuses on writers and texts analysed from the vantage points of exile and exophony, as well as theoretical contributions to issues of terminology and what it means to talk about transcultural phenomena. Finally, a group of papers sheds light on more overtly violent power structures, mechanisms of exclusion, Totalitarianism, torture, and censorship, but also resistance to these forms of oppression. In addition to these chapters, the volume also collects a number of thematically related group sections from the ICLA congress, preserving their original context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Latinx Performing Arts in the U.S. provides a comprehensive overview of the development of the Latinx performing arts in what is now the U.S. since the sixteenth century. This book combines theories and philosophical thought developed in a wide spectrum of disciplines—such as anthropology, sociology, gender studies, feminism, and linguistics, among others—and productions’ reviews, historical context, and political implications. Split into two volumes, these books offer interpretations and representations of a wide range of Latinxs’ lived experiences in the U.S. Volume I provides a chronological overview of the evolution of the Latinx community within the U.S., spanning from the 1500s to today, with an emphasis on the Chicano artistic renaissance initiated by Luis Valdez and the Teatro Campesino in the 1960s. Volume II continues, looking more in depth at the experiences of Latinx individuals on theatre and performance, including Miguel Piñero, Lin-Manuel Miranda, María Irene Fornés, Nilo Cruz, and John Leguizamo, as well as the important role of transnational migration in Latinx communities and identities across the U.S. A History of Latinx Performing Arts in the U.S. offers an accessible and comprehensive understanding of the field and is ideal for students, researchers, and instructors of theatre studies with an interest in the diverse and complex history of Latinx theatre and performance.

Book Synopsis Guadalupe (English) by : Carla Zarebska
Download or read book Guadalupe (English) written by Carla Zarebska and published by Equipar Sa. This book was released on 2002 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the arrival of Hernn Corts, birds, serpents, the sun and moon, and human sacrifices figured prominently in the rituals and daily spiritual life of the inhabitants of today's Mexico. In the early sixteenth century, Roman Catholic missionaries began arriving in the area of Tenochtitlan--Mexico City--to convert the native Mexica to Christianity. The priests met with limited success until 1531, the year Juan Diego, a poor Mexica, first encountered the vision of the "Heavenly Lady," now known as "Our Lady of Guadalupe." Guadalupe is a lavishly illustrated history of Mexico's religious traditions. Touching briefly on the pre-Columbian decades of many deities, Carla Zarebska devotes most of the book to the post-colonial centuries of Catholicism, the Madre of modern Mexico, and the traditions and legends surrounding her. Primitive drawings and black-and-white photos from the early twentieth century depict natives honoring the Lady, and full color photos and paintings commemorate events and individuals from Mexico's history, including the Virgin Mary's appearances to Juan Diego. Over a dozen pages offer the story of Guadalupe's appearances in the native Nahuatl accompanied by the English translation.

Un grupo de arqueólogos descubren en unos viejos papiros el misterio de La Vera Cruz, la cruz de la crucifixión de Cristo. Los escritos revelaban que los esenios, hermandad de la que formaba parte Jesucristo, la habían llevado y escondido en la cima del enigmático Kukenán, el llamado Tepuy de los Muertos, en la Gran Sabana, al sureste de Venezuela. Divor Klaus, un avezado antropólogo y aventurero, parte a buscarla porque los pergaminos revelaban que la cruz se materializaría a las tres de la tarde del Domingo de Resurrección de ese año. La Santa Sede, apoyada por los Dei Pax, una banda de sicarios al servicio de la Iglesia, va tras su pista, pero se topa con un místico secreto: el nacimiento en la tierra de los Nion, una especie de niños ángeles con poderes celestiales. Intrigas y confabulaciones se apoderan del Vaticano y sus más altos prelados hasta que el día señalado deviene la alineación del Triángulo Divino, acontecimiento que devela nuevas y tenebrosas profecías para la humanidad.

Book Synopsis The Other Mirror by : Kristine Ibsen
Download or read book The Other Mirror written by Kristine Ibsen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1997-02-25 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, women's narrative has become a recognized force in Mexican letters. The essays in this collection explore the recent work of nine contemporary Mexican women writers. Many of the works have been translated into English; some, like Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate, have become international best sellers. The unprecedented commercial success of these novels has generated mixed reactions: at the same time that the secondary status afforded women's narrative has come to be questioned in many academic circles, some authors are dissociating themselves from women's writing. The essays in this volume address these issues, providing a much needed contribution to the study of women's narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the implementation of Law 975 in Colombia, known as the Justice and Peace Law, and proposes a critical view of the transitional scenario in Colombia from 2005 onwards. The author analyzes three aspects of the law: 1) The process of negotiation with paramilitary groups; 2) The constitution of the Group Memoria Histórica (Historic Memory) in Colombia and 3) The process of a 2007 law that was finally not passed. The book contains interviews with key actors in the justice and peace process in Colombia. The author analyses the contradictions, tensions, ambiguities and paradoxes that define the practices of such actors. This book highlights that a critical view of this kind of transitional scenario is indispensable to determine steps towards a just and peaceful society.
Book Synopsis Our Lady of Guadalupe by : John F. Moffitt
Download or read book Our Lady of Guadalupe written by John F. Moffitt and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-07-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
