Download or read book Gringo-Latino written by Edwin L Mourino-Ruiz Ph D and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. demographics are changing. It is increasingly getting minority, in particular Latino. They are actually 53 million estimated Latinos in the U.S., making the 2nd most country in the world, only after Mexico with most Latinos. In addition the U.S. is the 5th country in the world where Spanish is spoken. For every Anglo that dies one is born, for every Latino that dies, 8 are born. Due to this increasing population, changing demographic, and exchanging influence is why I decided to write this book. This fictional book is about a group of Latino friends that through choice or circumstance were either born or raised in the U.S. in a bi-cultural and bi-lingual environment. They come together now on vacation to get together and enjoy each other's company and relax. While they vacation the reader has an opportunity to look into their pasts while the characters reminisce on their life journey with its ups and downs while pursuing their Sueño Americano/American dream. Through their reflections we get a close view to what they have been through, both good and bad to arrive where they are today.The present amount of Latinos in America today and their influence in this country through music, art, food, language, and culture has since before the pilgrims and particularly now impacted this country in ways that sometimes many don't realize. Through the personal stories of the characters, the book will hopefully increase non-Latinos understanding of the differences and similarities as they pursue the American dream. How family, culture, religion, their faith, hopes, and dreams add to the evolving immigrant created country called America. This book will provide a unique perspective of people's lives as they tried to live them as best they could regardless of their circumstances. It will provide a look back on the characters as they reflect on their lives as they gather to vacation with their friends. It sets out to tell a series of stories that follow a group of friends as they gather for vacation. Each of them reflects on their life journey to where they are today. How they started and where and through the difficulties that some of them went through as they blended into the American way of life, either from other Latin American countries or as 2nd generation Latinos. How some went through more difficult circumstances then others, but all were appreciative of having made it this far, to where they were today as they gathered with their vacation Latino friends. This book provides a blend of unique stories, perspectives, and journeys that have the common denominator of being Latino in the U.S. while pursuing the American Dream. This book is intended for anyone that wants to enjoy a series of stories of friends as they reflect on their life journeys. It might be increasingly interesting for the growing Latino-American population in this country who might relate to one or some of the stories through either personal or by someone they know of that went through a similar experience.
Book Synopsis My (Underground) American Dream by : Julissa Arce
Download or read book My (Underground) American Dream written by Julissa Arce and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Bestseller! What does an undocumented immigrant look like? What kind of family must she come from? How could she get into this country? What is the true price she must pay to remain in the United States? JULISSA ARCE knows firsthand that the most common, preconceived answers to those questions are sometimes far too simple-and often just plain wrong. On the surface, Arce's story reads like a how-to manual for achieving the American dream: growing up in an apartment on the outskirts of San Antonio, she worked tirelessly, achieved academic excellence, and landed a coveted job on Wall Street, complete with a six-figure salary. The level of professional and financial success that she achieved was the very definition of the American dream. But in this brave new memoir, Arce digs deep to reveal the physical, financial, and emotional costs of the stunning secret that she, like many other high-achieving, successful individuals in the United States, had been forced to keep not only from her bosses, but even from her closest friends. From the time she was brought to this country by her hardworking parents as a child, Arce-the scholarship winner, the honors college graduate, the young woman who climbed the ladder to become a vice president at Goldman Sachs-had secretly lived as an undocumented immigrant. In this surprising, at times heart-wrenching, but always inspirational personal story of struggle, grief, and ultimate redemption, Arce takes readers deep into the little-understood world of a generation of undocumented immigrants in the United States today- people who live next door, sit in your classrooms, work in the same office, and may very well be your boss. By opening up about the story of her successes, her heartbreaks, and her long-fought journey to emerge from the shadows and become an American citizen, Arce shows us the true cost of achieving the American dream-from the perspective of a woman who had to scale unseen and unimaginable walls to get there.

Book Synopsis The Audacity of Hope by : Barack Obama
Download or read book The Audacity of Hope written by Barack Obama and published by Crown. This book was released on 2006-10-17 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Barack Obama’s lucid vision of America’s place in the world and call for a new kind of politics that builds upon our shared understandings as Americans, based on his years in the Senate “In our lowdown, dispiriting era, Obama’s talent for proposing humane, sensible solutions with uplifting, elegant prose does fill one with hope.”—Michael Kazin, The Washington Post In July 2004, four years before his presidency, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Obama called “the audacity of hope.” The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama’s call for a different brand of politics—a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces—from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media—that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment. At the heart of this book is Barack Obama’s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats—from terrorism to pandemic—that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy—where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, Obama says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes—“waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them.”
Book Synopsis In Search of the American Dream by : Gilberto de Murguía
Download or read book In Search of the American Dream written by Gilberto de Murguía and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-01-02 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the border of the United States and Mexico and delightfully told, this extraordinary story of survival is about Vitto Puentelarra and his struggle in search of the American Dream. But is it true that the American Dream really exists? Or it may be found somewhere else? But then, aren't we all searching for the same. The US is a country of immigrants, but maybe is not for everyone, including us, its citizens, as many have learned in their own search to make a reality of their dreams. Originally written in Spanish and then translated by the author, this work is a novel based on the experiences of many immigrants. Wonderfully written while combining the drama and humor of the characters, De Murguia tells the story of Vittorio Puentelarra, a middle class immigrant from Mexico, and what meant for him and many others the elusive reality of the American Dream.

Download or read book American Dream 1863 written by Alejandro Guerrero Borgia and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-04-06 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Cuánto estarías dispuesto a sacrificar por ser feliz? En el año 1863 muchos europeos se embarcaban rumbo a América con la esperanza de encontrar una vida mejor, o al menos, una en la que no tuvieran que preocuparse de si tendrían algo que llevarse a la boca antes de que acabara el día. El hambre y la miseria que asolan Irlanda provocarán que Tiara, Arthur y Bruno se enrolen en uno de los numerosos barcos que parten hacia el Nuevo Mundo, animados por las misivas que les hace llegar Steven desde Nueva York. Steven, el hermano de Arthur, lleva solo tres meses en el continente americano, pero no hace más que ensalzar las oportunidades que ofrece América a los recién llegados. American Dream 1863 es una novela histórica que nos sumergirá en la vida de tres jóvenes soñadores, que harán todo lo posible por empezar de cero y alcanzar el tan anhelado sueño americano. Sin embargo, el Nueva York de 1863 que se encontrarán al llegar, no será tan idílico como les han hecho creer. La ciudad está plagada de clanes sin escrúpulos que llevan años dirigiendo y gobernando Nueva York a su antojo, y nuestros amigos chocarán de lleno contra ellos, incluso antes de llegar a su destino. ¿Serán capaces Tiara, Arthur y Bruno de pagar el precio que exige América para alcanzar su ansiado nuevo comienzo? BIOGRAFÍA DEL AUTOR: Alejandro Guerrero Borgia es el seudónimo de un escritor español nacido en el año 1984 en la localidad castellana de Valladolid. Apasionado de la literatura desde muy joven, se da a conocer al mundo en 2015 con su primera novela, Atrium. En 2018 lanzará la segunda parte de esta trepidante trilogía con la publicación de Niobe, y un año más tarde, cerrará momentáneamente su etapa en el género erótico, escribiendo Uxuaia, y completando así la trilogía, El oscuro mundo de Daniel. En el año 2020, Alejandro dará el salto al género policíaco con la presentación de su primera novela de suspense, Remember, y también escribirá su primer relato corto, ¿Y si no fuera el destino?, una historia emocional y que ahondará en nuestro lado más humano. En el año 2021 escribe sus dos primeras novelas históricas. Lucha en la sombra, con la cual nos adentraremos en el París ocupado por el imperio nazi durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y American Dream 1863, una trepidante novela de superación, en la que tres inmigrantes lucharán por labrarse un futuro en la naciente ciudad de Nueva York, en plena guerra de secesión americana. A principios de 2022 verá la luz su último libro, Nunca renuncies a intentarlo. Una novela de acción, suspense y emociones, que no nos dejará ni un momento de respiro. Una historia visceral, que nos mostrará lo que está dispuesto a hacer el ser humano cuando está desesperado. Ingeniero de profesión, Alejandro Guerrero Borgia es un observador incansable del mundo y su entorno, que mezcla realidad y una pizca de imaginación para regalarnos historias que no nos dejarán indiferentes. Siempre narradas en primera persona y desde el punto de vista de sus personajes, para provocar que el lector se sumerja en cada una de sus historias, consiguiendo que este las sienta como propias.
