Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican Literature in Theory is the first book in any language to engage post-independence Mexican literature from the perspective of current debates in literary and cultural theory. It brings together scholars whose work is defined both by their innovations in the study of Mexican literature and by the theoretical sophistication of their scholarship. Mexican Literature in Theory provides the reader with two contributions. First, it is one of the most complete accounts of Mexican literature available, covering both canonical texts as well as the most important works in contemporary production. Second, each one of the essays is in itself an important contribution to the elucidation of specific texts. Scholars and students in fields such as Latin American studies, comparative literature and literary theory will find in this book compelling readings of literature from a theoretical perspective, methodological suggestions as to how to use current theory in the study of literature, and important debates and revisions of major theoretical works through the lens of Mexican literary works.

Book excerpt: Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Women's Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jeffrey C. Barnett. Edited by Paula Sanmartin and Maria di Franscesco. Second place winner, 2016 International Latino Book Award for Best Novel, Historical Fiction—Bilingual or Spanish. A metaphor of a nation and its Diaspora, this bilingual edition of THE MEMORY OF SILENCE/MEMORIA DEL SILENCIO transcends the Cuban reality and becomes a story of universal breadth, a triumph of love and family over distance and politics. In 1959, at the age of 18, the twin sisters Lauri and Menchu share a common past, but their lives abruptly take on seemingly irreconcilable differences as Lauri leaves with her groom for Miami and Menchu remains in Havana. The text, then, becomes a series of interpolated chronicles, as each alternating chapter recounts one sister's life and then the other until finally in the present, now reunited, the sisters must confront the pain of the past and as well as the promise of the future. The novel's theme of reconciliation presents a refreshing message, and a timely one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From television to travel bans, geopolitics to popular dance, The Subject of Revolution explores how knowledge about the 1959 Cuban Revolution was produced and how the Revolution in turn shaped new worldviews. Drawing on sources from over twenty archives as well as film, music, theater, and material culture, this book traces the consolidation of the Revolution over two decades in the interface between political and popular culture. The "subject of Revolution," it proposes, should be understood as the evolving synthesis of the imaginaries constructed by its many "subjects," including revolutionary leaders, activists, academics, and ordinary people within and beyond the island's borders. The book reopens some of the questions that have long animated debates about Cuba, from the relationship between populace and leadership to the archive and its limits, while foregrounding the construction of popular understandings. It argues that the politicization of everyday life was an inescapable effect of the revolutionary process as well as the catalyst for new ways of knowing and being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Cuban Revolution look like “from within?" This volume proposes that scholars and observers of Cuba have too long looked elsewhere—from the United States to the Soviet Union—to write the island's post-1959 history. Drawing on previously unexamined archives, the contributors explore the dynamics of sociopolitical inclusion and exclusion during the Revolution's first two decades. They foreground the experiences of Cubans of all walks of life, from ordinary citizens and bureaucrats to artists and political leaders, in their interactions with and contributions to the emerging revolutionary state. In essays on agrarian reform, the environment, dance, fashion, and more, contributors enrich our understanding of the period beginning with the utopic mobilizations of the early 1960s and ending with the 1980 Mariel boatlift. In so doing, they offer new perspectives on the Revolution that are fundamentally driven by developments on the island. Bringing together new historical research with comparative and methodological reflections on the challenges of writing about the Revolution, The Revolution from Within highlights the political stakes attached to Cuban history after 1959.

Book excerpt: NIÑOS DE LA GUERRILLA (Ak'alab' reche le guerrilla). Es la historia que nos revela como la tranquilidad, la paz, y la armonía de las comunidades campesinas, repentinamente fue arrebatada con violencia incendiaria; al irrumpir en esas pacíficas comunidades el fuego destructor del comunismo internacional. Y cómo esa impactante violencia vino a destruir las familias y los poblados; arrasando no solamente con los míseros valores materiales sino también con todos los valores familiares; hasta con la identidad, la espiritualidad y el misticismo de los pueblos mayas, con toda aquella horrible destrucción y muerte. Esta desgraciada experiencia se agigantó dolorosamente cuando recayó en niños inocentes, imberbes, y analfabetas; que fueron arrastrados violentamente desde sus comunidades hasta cruzar por las montañas y los ríos, la frontera del vecino país. Para cumplir con los planes estratégicos y políticos de la guerrilla. Esta no es la historia del inmigrante común, que con natural entusiasmo anhela alcanzar "El Sueño Americano". Esta es la historia de los niños que espantados ante la violencia y el secuestro; aún en sus míseras condiciones escapan y luchan por alejarse de aquellas organizaciones de terror que solamente les mostró una violencia que nunca habían conocido; cuyo fin único era transformarlos en niños guerrilleros. Es la transformación total de su pacifica vida desde el seno familiar. Desde la tranquilidad del campo hasta el infierno de la violencia en las acciones de guerra, la soledad y el abandono en un país extraño. La fuga de Atanasio Pu de los solapados campos de concentración en México, dirigidos por el Comunismo Internacional. El sentimiento de persecución que siempre lo atormentó. Su desastrosa infancia, sin familia, sin amigos, en la más triste y aberrante miseria. Encarna el sufrimiento al cual fueron sometidas esas familias guatemaltecas especialmente las familias mayas. Todo esto constituye sin duda un trauma familiar y social que lamentablemente atormentará a esas comunidades y a los guatemaltecos por muchos años más.

This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sobre el libro: La Revolución Bolivariana es un proceso en marcha y está creando colectivamente y democráticamente, paso a paso, golpe a golpe un nuevo modelo de estado. El estado bolivariano es auténtico se fundamenta en la historia, las ideas solidarias de Simón Bolívar y la prioridad de los derechos humanos básicos de "seguridad y subsistencia" de todos los venezolanos sin exclusiones. Es revolucionario primero porque incorpora participativamente a un sector mayoritario de la población -incluyendo a los pobres y a los militares-- que habían sido históricamente marginados y excluidos de la política, la economía y la sociedad. Segundo, porque el nuevo modelo de "Seguridad y Subsistencia" es lo opuesto a su predecesor histórico: el modelo de "Seguridad Nacional" o "Pacto de Punto Fijo." La "Seguridad Nacional" fue impuesta desde los Estados Unidos durante la guerra fría a toda su área de influencia y ha causado estragos: guerras, muertes, torturas y la violación sistemática de los derechos humanos en Venezuela, en Latinoamérica y en muchas partes del mundo. Tercero, porque el modelo bolivariano ofrece una respuesta democrática y solidaria al capitalismo salvaje que propone el neo-liberalismo en la actualidad. Venezuela hoy nos ofrece algo radicalmente diferente, es "la posibilidad optimista" de una democracia nueva, solidaria, soberana, socialista, moderna, no dogmática y por qué no, ecológica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1991, Orestes Lorenzo, un mayor en la Fuerza Aérea Cubana, desertó su país de origine en un avión MiG y arriesgó todo lo que tenia para realizar un peligroso vuelo a los Estados Unidos buscando la libertad ideológica que ya no existía en Cuba. Pero fue en 1992, un año más tarde cuando Orestes realizó un viaje aun más peligroso. Después de 21 meses frustrantes, haciendo peticiones a las autoridades cubanas, pidiendo la libertad de su familia, Orestes se dio cuenta de una cosa: la única solución tendría que ser algo sumamente arriesgado y difícil. Habría que volver a Cuba a buscarlos él mismo. Durante todo este tiempo, su esposa Vicky sufrió el constante asedio de las autoridades cubanas, que insistieron que denunciara a su esposo como un cobarde traidor que abandonó a su familia. De lo contrario, jamás tendría permiso para salir de su país. Hasta Raúl Castro, hermano del dictador, tenía algo que decir sobre el asunto: -Si Lorenzo tuvo pantalones para irse con uno de nuestros MiGs, tal vez los tenga para venir a buscar a su familia.- Y eso fue lo que Orestes Lorenzo hizo. Volando un viejo Cessna de dos motores, cruzó las aguas del estrecho de la Florida, evitando el radar cubano. Aterrizó en una carretera bien transitada donde su esposa y sus hijos le esperaban, y les rescató. Vuelo hacia el amanecer es la historia de esta hazaña asombrosa, narrada por el mismo protagonista, Orestes Lorenzo. Es también la odisea individual de un joven que creció durante la euforia de la revolución cubana. Después de casarse y entra en un entrenamiento para pilotos en la unión soviética, Orestes nos muestra su creciente desilusionamiento con el comunismo, apoyado por su despertar a la religión gracias a las revelaciones de la Perestroika y la enfermedad grave de su esposa. Sobre todo, sus motivos tienen sus raíces en la convicción de criar a sus hijos en un país que respeta la dignidad del espíritu individual. Vuelo hacia el amanecer es una historia de heroísmo, el heroísmo de un hombre que haría lo imposible y arriesgaría su vida para obtener la libertad de su familia. Es un testamento al poder y fuerza del amor.

Book excerpt: Men today have locked horns with their toughest issue: reclaiming the full potential of manhood. But in the midst of the excitement -- the meetings, rallies, seminars, and high-fives -- is something vital missing? What gives manhood definition and meaning? In The Silence of Adam, Dr. Larry Crabb and his colleagues, biblical scholar Don Hudson and counselor Al Andrews, offer a fresh look at how God designed men. They draw from neglected biblical data and their own professional experience to help us explore - manhood's lost vision - the problems of masculine community - the power of mentoring relationships -- The Silence of Adam deals thoughtfully and honestly with men's ongoing struggles and exposes the difficulties they have in relationships. It presents the rich calling men have to reveal God in ways uniquely masculine. And it summons them beyond their paralyzing fear of failure to bold risk-taking, action, deep spirituality, and full-hearted living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2020 Herbert H. Lehman Prize for Distinguished Scholarship in New York history Honorable Mention, 2019 CASA Literary Prize for Studies on Latinos in the United States, given by La Casa de las Américas The dramatic story of the origins of the Cuban community in nineteenth-century New York. More than one hundred years before the Cuban Revolution of 1959 sparked an exodus that created today’s prominent Cuban American presence, Cubans were settling in New York City in what became largest community of Latin Americans in the nineteenth-century Northeast. This book brings this community to vivid life, tracing its formation and how it was shaped by both the sugar trade and the long struggle for independence from Spain. New York City’s refineries bought vast quantities of raw sugar from Cuba, ultimately creating an important center of commerce for Cuban émigrés as the island tumbled into the tumultuous decades that would close out the century and define Cuban nationhood and identity. New York became the primary destination for Cuban émigrés in search of an education, opportunity, wealth, to start a new life or forget an old one, to evade royal authority, plot a revolution, experience freedom, or to buy and sell goods. While many of their stories ended tragically, others were steeped in heroism and sacrifice, and still others in opportunism and mendacity. Lisandro Pérez beautifully weaves together all these stories, showing the rise of a vibrant and influential community. Historically rich and engrossing, Sugar, Cigars, and Revolution immerses the reader in the riveting drama of Cuban New York. Lisandro Pérez analyzes the major forces that shaped the community, but also tells the stories of individuals and families that made up the fabric of a little-known immigrant world that represents the origins of New York City's dynamic Latino presence.
