Book Synopsis Otra cara de América by : Anthony L. Geist
Download or read book Otra cara de América written by Anthony L. Geist and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following their consciences in defiance of their government, some 2,800 young Americans between 1936 and 1938 joined the cause of Spanish democracy under the banner of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Passing the Torch is an outspoken tribute to the heroism of the American volunteers of the 1930s and to their tradition of hope and resistance, which continues to inspire social activists to this day. A photoessay that captures the spirit of radicalism embodied in the brigadistas, this richly illustrated volume portrays Central American solidarity work in the 1980s, massive protests against the Gulf War in 1991, and the World Trade Organization "Battle in Seattle" in December 1999. It also profiles seven Seattle-area veterans, representative of the 120 surviving members of the Lincoln Brigade, and documents the dedication ceremony of the first public monument to the Brigade in the United States. All text is presented in Spanish and English.
Book Synopsis La Otra Cara Del Imperio Españ̃ol by : Nancy Whitlock
Download or read book La Otra Cara Del Imperio Españ̃ol written by Nancy Whitlock and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to identify the characteristics that unify the texts written during the early Spanish exploration of what is now the United States Gulf Coast. These documents come from or are inspired by the disastrous Spanish expeditions to Florida and the region of the Gulf Coast, and they can be grouped together as a subgenre of Gulf Coast failure texts. The nine features that are found to unite the subgenre of Gulf Coast failure texts can help readers approach these texts a group with a new appreciation for the less studied documents. Teachers or scholars of colonial, Renaissance, southern, or U. S. Hispanic literature may use these characteristics as a jumping-off point, using the sub-genre features to provide at least a beginning framework for exploring and analyzing such a large variety of expedition works. The Gulf Coast failure text characteristics discussed in this study are elements such as: 1) the presence of subordinate voices, 2) the lack of emphasis on the shipwreck, 3) the emphasis on starvation and thirst, 4) the use of everyday European items for other purposes, 5) the search for a city-state template (Apalachee), 6) the emphasis on geographical and natural difficulties, 7) the avoidance of work, 8) the importance of the interpreter, and 9) the various strategies to maintain Spanishness and masculinity in the wake of failure.

Book Synopsis Cinema and the Sandinistas by : Jonathan Buchsbaum
Download or read book Cinema and the Sandinistas written by Jonathan Buchsbaum and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Sandinista Revolution in 1979, young bohemian artists rushed to the newly formed Nicaraguan national film institute INCINE to contribute to "the recovery of national identity" through the creation of a national film project. Over the next eleven years, the filmmakers of INCINE produced over seventy films—documentary, fiction, and hybrids—that collectively reveal a unique vision of the Revolution drawn not from official FSLN directives, but from the filmmakers' own cinematic interpretations of the Revolution as they were living it. This book examines the INCINE film project and assesses its achievements in recovering a Nicaraguan national identity through the creation of a national cinema. Using a wealth of firsthand documentation—the films themselves, interviews with numerous INCINE personnel, and INCINE archival records—Jonathan Buchsbaum follows the evolution of INCINE's project and situates it within the larger historical project of militant, revolutionary filmmaking in Latin America. His research also raises crucial questions about the viability of national cinemas in the face of accelerating globalization and technological changes which reverberate far beyond Nicaragua's experiment in revolutionary filmmaking.

Download or read book Civil Becomings written by Raúl Acosta and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthropological approach to an emerging form of transnational political engagement by independent civil society organizations Activism and advocacy have drawn academic interest as alternative ways of achieving collective ends outside established political institutions. However, there has been very little theoretical attention aimed at the interconnections between the two spheres. In Civil Becomings: Performative Politics in the Amazon and the Mediterranean, Raúl Acosta examines the manner in which progressive nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and activists act in a more intermingled and processual way than scholars have previously acknowledged. Acosta focuses on networks from the vantage point of two NGOs: one in Brazil that concentrated on environmental issues in the Amazon and another in Barcelona called the Mediterranean Social Forum. The focus of this research is not on organizational aspects of collaboration, but rather on the practices and contexts in which such cooperation occurs. Three major aspects of activist and advocacy networks are analyzed: their communicative characters, their collective performances of the political, and the negotiations they engage in between vernacular and cosmopolitan values. This volume theorizes the cooperative actions of activist and advocacy networks as legitimating processes for the work of participating groups. In doing so, Acosta argues, they address the issues that justify a joint campaign or effort and also crucially underpin each participating collective as a worthy organization of civil society.

Book Synopsis Secondary Moderns by : Brett Levinson
Download or read book Secondary Moderns written by Brett Levinson and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Secondary Moderns examines Lezama Lima's analyses of Latin American history and culture. The study begins by carefully demonstrating how Lezama breaks with the modern Latin American intellectual tradition that has explored the question of Latin American in terms of an "identity politics," and moves on to a close reading of the theories of aesthetics, representation, resistance, criticism, death, religion, and ethics that Lezama puts forth via his notion of the "American expression." The work concludes by analyzing Lezama's "politics of affirmation" by scrutinizing his writings on Cuba and the Cuban Revolution." "Secondary Moderns represents a thorough analysis of Lezama's cultural project, Latin American twentieth-century thought, and the complex intersection of Latin American studies and the post-Heideggerian philosophical tradition. Refuting labels that have too hastily been attached to Lezama's difficult works - those works have been dubbed "elitist" or "transcendentalist" - the text strives to establish Lezama as one of the great thinkers of historicity in the modern age. For while many critics have suggested that Latin American modernity is born via a reading and rewriting of Western discourses, Lezama's "American expression" is the site where this theory is most radically put into practice. The practice, moreover, permits one to understand not only Latin American cultural theory, but Western thought itself; indeed, Lezama's aberrant reading of the West, by its very aberrant character, reveals aspects of the Western tradition never before explored."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
