Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randall interviewed these outspoken women from all walks of life: working-class Diana Espinoza, head bookkeeper of an employee-owned factory; Daisy Zamora, a vice minister of culture under the Sandinistas; and Vidaluz Meneses, daughter of a Somozan official, who ties her revolutionary ideals to her Catholicism. The voices of these women, along with nine others, lead us to recognize both the failed promises and continuing attraction of the Sandinista movement for women.
Book Synopsis Sandino's Daughters by : Margaret Randall
Download or read book Sandino's Daughters written by Margaret Randall and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1981 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandino's Daughters, Margaret Randall's conversations with Nicaraguan women in their struggle against the dictator Somoza in 1979, brought the lives of a group of extraordinary female revolutionaries to the American and world public. The book remains a landmark. Now, a decade later, Randall returns to interview many of the same women and others. In Sandino's Daughters Revisited, they speak of their lives during and since the Sandinista administration, the ways in which the revolution made them strong--and also held them back. Ironically, the 1990 defeat of the Sandinistas at the ballot box has given Sandinista women greater freedom to express their feelings and ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1980s, in the midst of Central America's decades of dirty wars, Nora Miselem of Honduras and Maria Su�rez Toro of Costa Rica were kidnapped and subjected to rape and other tortures. Of the nearly two hundred disappeared persons in Honduras in those years, they are, remarkably, two of only five survivors. Fourteen years after their ordeal, Su�rez and Miselem's chance meeting at a conference on human rights was witnessed by and is now retold in Margaret Randall's When I Look into the Mirror and See You. Through direct testimony, vivid prose, and evocative photographs, Randall recounts the terror, resistance, and survival of Su�rez and Miselem. The book details the abuses suffered by them, the ruses they used to foil their captors, the support that they gave each other while imprisoned, the means they used to escape, and their attempts to reconstruct their lives. For the first time, Su�rez and Miselem explore the pain and trauma of their past and Randall has done the service of adding these remarkable voices to the global campaign to bring the world's attention to women's human rights.

Book Synopsis Daughters of the Stone by : Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa
Download or read book Daughters of the Stone written by Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the PEN/Robert Bingham Fellowship for Writers It is the mid-1800s. Fela, taken from Africa, is working at her second sugar plantation in colonial Puerto Rico, where her mistress is only too happy to benefit from her impressive embroidery skills. But Fela has a secret. Before she and her husband were separated and sold into slavery, they performed a tribal ceremony in which they poured the essence of their unborn child into a very special stone. Fela keeps the stone with her, waiting for the chance to finish what she started. When the plantation owner approaches her, Fela sees a better opportunity for her child, and allows the man to act out his desire. Such is the beginning of a line of daughters connected by their intense love for one another, and the stories of a lost land. Mati, a powerful healer and noted craftswoman, is grounded in a life that is disappearing in a quickly changing world. Concha, unsure of her place, doesn't realize the price she will pay for rejecting her past. Elena, modern and educated, tries to navigate between two cultures, moving to the United States, where she will struggle to keep her family together. Carisa turns to the past for wisdom and strength when her life in New York falls apart. The stone becomes meaningful to each of the women, pulling them through times of crisis and ultimately connecting them to one another. Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa shows great skill and warmth in the telling of this heartbreaking, inspirational story about mothers and daughters, and the ways in which they hurt and save one another.

Book Synopsis Survival Supervivencia by : Miguel Algarin
Download or read book Survival Supervivencia written by Miguel Algarin and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ñDonÍt believe the deadly game,î Miguel Algarin warns the elderly black Puerto Rican sitting in a park in Old San Juan, ñof Northern cities paved with gold and plenty / donÍt believe the fetching dream / of life improvement in New York / the only thing youÍll find in Boston / is a soft leather shoe up your ass.î In this affecting collection of poetry and prose, Nuyorican poet Miguel Algarin crafts beautifully angry, sad pieces about injustice and loss. While warning his compatriots about the unreality of the American Dream, he acknowledges that ñwe are the pistons that / move the roughage through Uncle / SamÍs intestines, we keep the flow / of New York happening / we are its muscles.î AlgarinÍs poems covering his long career give voice to the disenfranchisedthe junkie, the HIV inflicted, the poverty strickenand survival is a recurring theme. In the essay ñNuyorican Language,î which was originally published in 1975, he argues that for the New York Puerto Rican, there are three survival possibilities: to work hard for little money all your life and remain in eternal debt; to live life by taking risks of all types, including killing, cheating and stealing; and to create alternative behavioral habits. The Nuyorican poet, he says, must create a new language, ñA new day needs a new language or else the day becomes a repetition of yesterday.î While many of the poems focus on the Puerto Rican experience in New York, others touch on universal experiences such as the death of friends and the ephemeral nature of life. ñSo what if youÍre dead, / IÍm here, youÍre gone, / and IÍm left alone / to watch how time betrays, / and we die slow / so very slow.î And he turns his sharp gaze on events around the world, including the fights between England and Argentina for the Falkland Islands, Israel and Palestine for the Holy Land. With an introduction by Ernesto QuiÐonez, author of the acclaimed novel Bodega Dreams, this collection takes the reader through an intimate, autobiographical journey of one of the countryÍs leading Nuyorican writers and intellectuals.

Book Synopsis To Change the World by : Margaret Randall
Download or read book To Change the World written by Margaret Randall and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In To Change the World, the legendary writer and poet Margaret Randall chronicles her decade in Cuba from 1969 to 1980. Both a highly personal memoir and an examination of the revolution's great achievements and painful mistakes, the book paints a portrait of the island during a difficult, dramatic, and exciting time. Randall gives readers an inside look at her children's education, the process through which new law was enacted, the ins and outs of healthcare, employment, internationalism, culture, and ordinary people's lives. She explores issues of censorship and repression, describing how Cuban writers and artists faced them. She recounts one of the country's last beauty pageants, shows us a night of People's Court, and takes us with her when she shops for her family's food rations. Key figures of the revolution appear throughout, and Randall reveals aspects of their lives never before seen. More than fifty black and white photographs, most by the author, add depth and richness to this astute and illuminating memoir. Written with a poet's ear, depicted with a photographer's eye, and filled with a feminist vision, To Change the Worldùneither an apology nor gratuitous attackùadds immensely to the existing literature on revolutionary Cuba.
