Book excerpt: The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism.

Book excerpt: A splash of sea foam. A sly sparrow. A man dodging the rain. From such mundane, unexpected moments, Spanish poet Claudio Rodríguez crafted his 1965 Alliance and Condemnation, a collection of poems that temper the joy of existence--the "bounty that turns my flawed breath into prayer"--with a questioning of empirical reality. In these pages are poems of love and hate, contrition and forgiveness, and the joys of sorrow and existence. Many of the poems are essentially parables that seem to address the immediacy of the world yet point beyond it toward philosophical and eternal values. The result is a conjoining of the real and the ideal, a frequent theme in Spanish literature. Many of these poems bridge the distance between the Spanish mystics, among them Saint John of the Cross and Saint Teresa, and the nature poetry of romanticism. Of all his creations, the radiant poems in Alliance and Condemnation offer the best imaginable introduction to his extraordinary life and work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although today Luis Palés Matos is virtually unknown to most American readers, the eminent U.S. poet and writer William Carlos Williams once praised his younger contemporary as "one of the most important poets out of Latin America." Palés Matos was a native, and lifelong resident, of Puerto Rico. Though he was not black, he became one of the Caribbeans leading advocates of poesía negra (black poetry). His landmark 1937 collection Tuntún de Pasa y Grifería: Poesía Afro-Antillana (Tom-Tom of Kinky Hair and Black Things: Afro-Caribbean Poetry) joyously celebrated the African aspects and sources of Puerto Ricos culture and influenced later generations of writers throughout the Western hemisphere. Translator Julio Marzán has selected the best of Palés Matoss poems from throughout his career, among them "Prelude in Boricua," "Danza Negra," "Buccaneer Winds," and "Elegy on the Duke of Marmalade." He also provides a helpful glossary of obscure terms and an introduction that locates Palés Matos in the broader cultural context of his contemporaries and poetic influences including such North American poets as Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, and Vachel Lindsay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta novela trata sobre la lucha desde los tiempos de la conquista por la democracia, la libertad y la paz que han experimentado los pueblos latinoamericanos. A través de los tiempos, la mayoría de estos pueblos han experimentado la explotación y represión a manos de fuerzas opresoras extranjeras y nacionales. Esto ha llevado algunos de estos pueblos a recurrir a la revolución armada como última alternativa para alcanzar la democracia, la libertad y la paz. Desafortunadamente, estos pueblos han descubierto que la violencia no es el camino apropiado para encontrar la liberación. Un día muy confundido y preocupado de ver el camino que había tomado la revolución, Juanito decidió ir a la biblioteca y retiró varios libros para conocer más la ideología que El Estado, los ideólogos y los líderes del partido en el poder imponían sobre la población. Entre más leía sobre aquella doctrina, menos entendía cómo era posible que una ideología cuya filosofía hablaba y promulgaba la liberación del ser humano, a la hora de la práctica convirtiera en esclavos y dogmáticos a toda la población. La doctrina y los adoctrinadores caminaban caminos diametralmente opuestos. La doctrina decía una cosa y los que trataban de ponerla en práctica hacían otra. Los demagogos hablaban de libertad y ellos mismos eran esclavos de su propia doctrina enajenante y seguían obligando al pueblo a ser esclavo. -Es una desgracia tener que pasarse la vida en silencio sin poder decir lo que uno piensa porque si lo hacemos nos meten a la cárcel, nos torturan, nos mandan al exilio o simplemente nos acribillan frente a un paredón-pensaba Juanito. -Yo no puedo vivir así-decía-. ¿De qué valió que miles de compañeros perdieran sus vidas en feroces combates contra el enemigo? . . . ¿De qué valieron todos aquellos años metidos en la montaña con la espalda mojada, cansados, ahuevados, durmiendo en el suelo, enfermos, con el lodo hasta la rodilla, aguantando frío y hambres? . . . “Yo no puedo vivir bajo un sistema que me obliga a aceptar dogmas y una doctrina sacada de los fantásticos sueños de un viejo tejedor de sueños. Yo no tengo por qué aceptar doctrinas enajenantes, filosofías huecas o mitos . . . Yo no puedo vivir con una mordaza en la boca, una venda en los ojos, grilletes en las manos y una cadena de hierro en mi mente. Yo ya me cansé de toda esta carajada. Voy a salir y gritar a los cuatro vientos todo lo que siento. También le voy a decir a mis familiares y amigos que hagan lo mismo . . . , que no se queden con nada por dentro. Aunque me metan en una celda fría y acaben conmigo a palos, yo voy a decir lo que pienso-acabó diciendo Juanito-. BR> Esa misma tarde, Juanito tomó una hoja de papel y le escribió una carta a Juventino, el hijo mayor de su hermana Rosaura, quien para entonces ya estudiaba en la secundaria del Liceo José Martí. En aquella carta, Juanito le aconsejaba a su sobrino: Nunca dejes que otros manipulen tu vida ni tu mente. Mantén los ojos abiertos y nunca dejes que otros te impongan sus ideologías, doctrinas, dogmas, o mitos de los cuales tú no eres simpatizante ni entiendes. Prepárate y siempre defiende tu punto de vista. No seas como aquellos que no son ni chicha ni limonada. No seas como esas barcas o el cometa que se deja llevar por el viento. Si no estás de acuerdo con lo que hacen tus gobernantes, pues dilo y ya. Habla . . . , no te quedes callado porque lo que uno guarda en el pecho poco a poco te sofoca hasta dejarte inerte en el lecho. Dicho y hecho. Libera tu mente y tu ser . . . , ten fe en lo que haces, camina con determinación, se lo que tú quieras ser sin importarte el que dirán, respeta los derechos de los demás, mantén la mirada puesta en el futuro y muchas cosas buenas vendrán con el estudio y el trabajo.” Dos días después como a eso de las cuatro de la tarde, Juanito fue al parque situado frente a la catedral en la ciudad capital, se subió sobre una banca de c

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossroads! Intersections physical and/or metaphorical demand processes of consideration, determination, decision and commitment. Stasis is no longer an option where convergence is poised before the unknown. Where categories such as gender, culture, ethnicity, socio-economic status, philosophy and religion clash, the multivariate process can reach such complexity that literary, sociological and psychological tools can have differing interpretations. Real-life intersections range from the mundane (choosing among food items on a menu according to taste preferences) to survival-determinants (evaluating the efficacy of various medical procedures). But such intersections are at the two ends of a very long continuum that takes in issues of form/function, and traditional vs.modern. For example, Home may be defined both as a physical place and/or a mental construct. In more esoteric contexts, artists chiefly known for visual production, representing their ideas with color and form, not infrequently cross media to paint with words. Philosophy, religion, art and literature cross paths via symbols and other visual and linguistic constructs. Writers deal with how and where their own or their characters multiple identities intersect. The Hispanic world is an extraordinarily vivid place to explore these crossroads. This collection of essays addresses a multitude of crossroads in numerous Hispanic contexts across the intersections of time & space/tradition & modernity. The contexts are wide-ranging; e.g., the visual, architectural: how Spains age-old oenological tradition meets modern technology, how the vestiges of long-term dictatorship lurk in the spaces of Spains democracy; and how space/architecture, and art/poetry cross in Latin America. Painters Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlos productions cross the visual to the written; and magical realism products of the twentieth century Latin American artistic movement defy nature, science, time and space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology includes translations of a number of original poems from each of the ten collections of poetry published to date by Spanish poet Ana Maria Fagundo. Its goal is to provide a representative sample of Fagundo's work for an English audience. With the basic tenet of phenomenology as scaffold, the introduction of this anthology elucidates Fagundo's poetic writing as a process whereby the abstract is transformed into a concrete experience through the speaker's own self and body. From Brotes/Buds in 1965 until Trasterrado Marzo/March Beyond in 1999, Fagundo's poetry is an ongoing dialogue with the poetic word. Fagundo's poetic speaker looks into essences, but only in order to reintegrate them into existence. There is no Truth or Beauty or Good out there for which this poet strives, but a truth that each poet articulates in his or her own way. Hers is an aesthetic enterprise, which implies the ethical obligation to affirm life. Candelas Gala is Professor and Chair of the Department of Romance Languages at Wake Forest University.

Book excerpt: The first substantial collection of Claudio Rodriguez's work in English offers the complete poems, in a bilingual edition. Translated by Michael Smith (also responsible for the Shearsman editions of Bécquer, Vallejo and Rosalía de Castro) and Luís Ingelmo (who worked on the Bécquer edition with Michael Smith), this is as good an introduction as it is possble to get for an unfamiliar, yet major literary figure. Perhaps the most important poet of the "50s" generation in Spain, Rodríguez's work deserves to be much better-known in the anglophone world.
