Book Synopsis Colonial Legacies in Chicana/o Literature and Culture by : Vanessa Fonseca-Chávez
Download or read book Colonial Legacies in Chicana/o Literature and Culture written by Vanessa Fonseca-Chávez and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonial Legacies in Chicana/o Literature and Culture exposes the ways in which colonialism is expressed in the literary and cultural production of the U.S. Southwest, a region that has experienced at least two distinct colonial periods since the sixteenth century. Vanessa Fonseca-Chávez traces how Spanish colonial texts reflect the motivation for colonial domination. She argues that layers of U.S. colonialism complicate how Chicana/o literary scholars think about Chicana/o literary and cultural production. She brings into view the experiences of Chicana/o communities that have long-standing ties to the U.S. Southwest but whose cultural heritage is tied through colonialism to multiple nations, including Spain, Mexico, and the United States. While the legacies of Chicana/o literature simultaneously uphold and challenge colonial constructs, the metaphor of the kaleidoscope makes visible the rupturing of these colonial fragments via political and social urgencies. This book challenges readers to consider the possibilities of shifting our perspectives to reflect on stories told and untold and to advocate for the inclusion of fragmented and peripheral pieces within the kaleidoscope for more complex understandings of individual and collective subjectivities. This book is intended for readers interested in how colonial legacies are performed in the U.S. Southwest, particularly in the context of New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. Readers will relate to the book’s personal narrative thread that provides a path to understanding fragmented identities.
Book Synopsis Through the Kaleidoscope by : Vivian Schelling
Download or read book Through the Kaleidoscope written by Vivian Schelling and published by Verso. This book was released on 2000 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernity in Latin America is defined above all by its multi-layered, kaleidoscopic quality. Reminiscent of Octavio Paz's labyrinth, it is a modernity which has accommodated a piling-on of new traditions to old, a blending of external cultures with local, and of high cultures with more popular ones—mixes which allowed a rich and celebratory avant-garde movement, for example, to emerge in the 1920s, and prompted the explosive growth of cities like Rio de Janeiro. Many such cultural (as well as technological) innovations have occurred without equivalent changes in social and political life, however, and so the region has also been at the mercy of what might be termed an uneven development in many of its civic institutions. In this prestigious volume of original essays, many of the best writers on the region are brought together to examine the nature and manifestations of a specifically Latin American modernity. Beatriz Sarlo and Nicolau Sevcenko write about Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo in an exploration of twentieth century urban experience and shifting patterns of migration and immigration; Renato Ortiz and Ana Lopez look at mass media and the ways in which radio, television and cinema have shaped modernity; Jose Jorge de Carvalho, Jose de Souza Martins and Nelson Manrique address questions of religion, politics, ideology and social movements; Gwen Kirkpatrick and Beatriz Rezende explore the intricacies of artistic and literary modernism; and Nestor Canclini and Ruben Oliven open the collection with essays which unravel the many forces – the legacy of slavery, the freedom from an unquestioning faith in development and 'progress', the impact of globalisation – that have given rise to a characteristically hybrid modernity.

Book excerpt: Will Lyza’s 1968 summer mystery lead to . . . pirate treasure? When Lyza helps her dad clean out her late grandfather’s house, a mysterious surprise brightens the sad task. In Gramps’s dusty attic, Lyza discovers three maps, carefully folded and stacked, bound by a single rubber band. On top, an envelope says “For Lyza ONLY.” What could this possibly be? It takes the help of her two best friends, Malcolm and Carolann, to figure out that the maps reveal three possible spots in their own New Jersey town where Captain Kidd (the Captain Kidd, seventeenth-century pirate) may have buried a treasure. Can three thirteen-year-olds actually conduct a secret treasure hunt? And what will they find? In a tale inspired by a true story of buried treasure, Jen Bryant weaves an emotional and suspenseful novel in poems, all set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War during a pivotal year in U.S. history.

Book Synopsis Come, Look in My Kaleidoscope by : Joyce Coy
Download or read book Come, Look in My Kaleidoscope written by Joyce Coy and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Joyce Coy was recreating mosaics of her adventures with words, she pictured her grandchildren from ages 7 to 25 who often asked, “Gramma, tell us a story about you.” Joyce has included naughty moments, the yearning and search to know God, and the tug of war between fears and faith. She has also given peeks into the cultural backdrop of the farming society of her youth in the 60’s and 70’s. Her wobbly times showcase God meeting her in specific ways. She unwraps the reality that Father God made a way through the unknowns of her life. His steady influence increased her trust. Even when her dearest love, her husband, had a sudden departure to heaven, Joyce could say, “It’s well with my soul, it’s okay.” Her objective in unzipping her heart is that each reader, youth or adult, will be supported on their personal footpath in knowing Him. What God has done for a modest grandma, He can also do for you.
Book Synopsis In Taking Apart a Kaleidoscope by : Adam Zhou
Download or read book In Taking Apart a Kaleidoscope written by Adam Zhou and published by Indolent Books. This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When can you tell a book of poems is really working? For me, it's when the poems provide revolutions on themes--like the tiniest clink of a kaleidoscope. Look at how Adam Zhou recognizes what stays with us, how "the landscape will remain sullen / still dressed in a sullen light" and yet the people are always leaving and returning, wounded or memory or truly breathing, even in stillness. Zhou's lyrics are a personal history unfolding before us. In a world where poems can shatter us in the best way, In Taking Apart a Kaleidoscope reminds us that "there's something new if your heart hasn't stopped"--that we must dissect whatever comes up and hold it to light. --Carly Joy Miller In Taking Apart a Kaleidoscope is an arrangement of burning flowers. Adam Zhou has mastered the narrative of displacement. A world where people and objects are cloaked in words with multiple meanings. A house where "locks prefer not to accept keys." Through these poems a young speaker reconciles collisions of language, culture, and family. With great attention to craft, Zhou finds his voice in a fractured world. --"I'll collect the jagged pieces. Put them in a plastic bag." --Robert Carr Adam Zhou, a Chinese national, was born and raised in the Philippines. He won the Kathy Carlson and Emily Stauffer Award from Apogee, and was one of ten Asian American high school writers included in Hyphen magazine's Youth Poetry Folio for National Poetry Month in 2019. He is the founding editor of The McKinley Review, a literary journal based in the international community of the Philippines and focusing on the natural environment. When this collection is launched, Zhou will be a high school senior at the International School Manila.

Download or read book Looking Through Your Life's Kaleidoscope written by Nola Ann Lean and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you have ever looked into a kaleidoscope you will remember the continuous flowing patterns of coloured forms, forms that are reflected from the mirrors inside. Your personal life encompasses all the choices you have made and can be symbolised by a kaleidoscope that has an intricate pattern of coloured forms, continually changing as the kaleidoscope is moved in a different direction. And so it is with life, as we take different directions, our circumstances change. Life is your mirror where everyone in it is reflecting different aspects of who you are, a concept that makes life much easier to understand. The chapters in this book cover various factors that influence the choices you make. So let's explore the many forms that take shape to see what is in this kaleidoscope we call life. The value in reading Looking Through Your Life's Kaleidoscope is in considering the many factors as you put the pieces together. Each time you become the observer rather than just the busy participator, this can be very valuable in understanding why things happen the way they do. In the course of our life we create our own personal kaleidoscope which when wisely observed, can be of great benefit in making sense of it all." - Nola Ann Lean
