Book Synopsis Caribbean and Latinx Street Art in Miami by : Jana Evans Braziel
Download or read book Caribbean and Latinx Street Art in Miami written by Jana Evans Braziel and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on street art and large-scale murals in metropolitan Miami/Dade County, while also foregrounding the diasporic and aesthetic interventions made by migrant and second-generation artists whose families hail from the Caribbean and Latin America. Jana Evans Braziel argues that Caribbean and Latinx street artists define and visually mark the city of Miami as a diasporic, transnational urban space. These artists also help define Miami as a cosmopolitan city, yet one that is also a distinctly Caribbean and Latinx urban space, and simultaneously resist but also (at times reluctantly) participate in the forces of gentrification and urban re/development, particularly through the myriad and complex ways in which street art contributes to city branding and art tourism. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, urban studies, American studies, and Latin American/Caribbean studies.

Book excerpt: When it comes to family, there’s little Lupita Sanchez won’t do—even if it means throwing herself in the path of a man as feral as his predatory namesake. Julian “Jaguar” Domingas has carved out a violent reputation as one of the most powerful and dangerous drug lords alive. He’s exactly the kind of beast Lupita has learned the hard way to run far, far away from—but desperate times call for insane measures. Jaded and cynical, Jaguar has seen it all when it comes to the multitude of schemers and spies eager for even a taste of his power—and convincing him to help her won’t be easy. Protecting her heart, however, will be child’s play—or so she thinks. After all, what can a man like Jaguar want more than her body? Certainly not her soul… And definitely not her love. El Mundo de Sangre is a world of linked dark romance trilogies. Diamante de Sangre continues where Dinero de Sangre ends. Each trilogy can be read as a standalone, but will be better enjoyed if read in order. Blood Diamond and Blood Debt end with cliffhangers.

Download or read book Buyology written by Martin Lindstrom and published by Currency. This book was released on 2010-02-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

Book excerpt: John Ross has been living in the old colonial quarter of Mexico City for the last three decades, a rebel journalist covering Mexico and the region from the bottom up. He is filled with a gnawing sense that his beloved Mexico City's days as the most gargantuan, chaotic, crime-ridden, toxically contaminated urban stain in the western world are doomed, and the monster he has grown to know and love through a quarter century of reporting on its foibles and tragedies and blight will be globalized into one more McCity. El Monstruo is a defense of place and the history of that place. No one has told the gritty, vibrant histories of this city of 23 million faceless souls from the ground up, listened to the stories of those who have not been crushed, deconstructed the Monstruo's very monstrousness, and lived to tell its secrets. In El Monstruo, Ross now does.

Download or read book Blood and Gold written by Peter Murrieta and published by Sundown Press. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joaquin Murrieta. In the California gold camps of the 1850s, his very name struck terror into the hearts of miners. A bounty was put on his head and a new law-enforcement agency created just to capture or kill him. Joaquin was a lover, a leader, and a legend. While terrorizing white miners, he earned respect and devotion from the many Mexicans and Latin Americans in the gold fields. Although he tried to live an honest, hardworking life, the racism and intolerance he encountered altered his course. Forced into a life of crime, he struck back, forming a band of outlaws and then an army of patriots, with the intent of driving the Americans from the land that had so recently been Mexican territory. The historical epic novel Blood and Gold: The Legend of Joaquin Murrieta, by Jeffrey J. Mariotte and Peter Murrieta, is the definitive account of the life and legend of the "Robin Hood of the El Dorado"--the first fictional treatment of these events that benefits from memories handed down through generations of the Murrieta family.

Book excerpt: With Empty Rooms, bestselling award-winning novelist Jeffrey J. Mariotte introduces crime savant Krebbs and obsessive comic book fan Robey, who will quickly join the ranks of the most beloved heroes of thriller literature. Richie Krebbs is an ex-cop, a walking encyclopedia of crime and criminals who chafes at bureaucracy. Frank Robey quit the FBI and joined the Detroit PD, obsessed with the case of a missing child and unwilling to leave the city before she was found. When Richie unearths a possible clue in one of Detroit’s many abandoned homes, it puts him on a collision course with Frank—and with depths of depravity that neither man could have imagined. How do people who dwell in the darkest places—by profession or predilection—maintain their connection to the world of light and humanity? Richie and Frank will need every coping mechanism at their disposal to survive their descent into darkness and emerge unbroken on the other side. "This is not a book for the timid or easily shocked...despite this, Empty Rooms remains a highly recommended read.” —Mystery Scene
