Book excerpt: In Sacafiesta, Jack Espinosa recounts his experiences as a comedian and entertainer - as a child in Ybor City, as a young man touring clubs in post-War United States and pre-Castro Cuba, and later as a family man whose infectious humor helps him transition from janitor to high school social studies teacher overnight. Like his first memoir, Cuban Bread Crumbs, Espinosa weaves wry and witty tales of growing up as son of Spanish immigrants with keen observations about the rich cultural history of his beloved Tampa.
Download or read book El Monte written by Lydia Cabrera and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in Cuba in 1954 and appearing here in English for the first time, Lydia Cabrera’s El Monte is a foundational and iconic study of Afro-Cuban religious and cultural traditions. Drawing on conversations with elderly Afro-Cuban priests who were one or two generations away from the transatlantic slave trade, Cabrera combines ethnography, history, folklore, literature, and botany to provide a panoramic account of the multifaceted influence of Afro-Atlantic cultures in Cuba. Cabrera details the natural and spiritual landscape of the Cuban monte (forest, wilderness) and discusses hundreds of herbs and the constellations of deities, sacred rites, and knowledge that envelop them. The result is a complex spiritual and medicinal architecture of Afro-Cuban cultures. This new edition of what is often referred to as “the Santería bible” includes a new foreword, introduction, and translator notes. As a seminal work in the study of the African diaspora that has profoundly impacted numerous fields, Cabrera’s magnum opus is essential for scholars, activists, and religious devotees of Afro-Cuban traditions alike.

Book Synopsis Making Lemonade out of Lemons by : José M. Alamillo
Download or read book Making Lemonade out of Lemons written by José M. Alamillo and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2006-04-27 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of the “lemons” handed to Mexican American workers in Corona, California--low pay, segregated schooling, inadequate housing, and racial discrimination--Mexican men and women made “lemonade” by transforming leisure spaces such as baseball games, parades, festivals, and churches into politicized spaces where workers voiced their grievances, debated strategies for advancement, and built solidarity. Using oral history interviews, extensive citrus company records, and his own experiences in Corona, José Alamillo argues that Mexican Americans helped lay the groundwork for civil rights struggles and electoral campaigns in the post-World War II era.
