Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1738, Carina de Ulloa recibe la carta que cambiará su vida. Su padre, un marino de la Armada Real destinado al Virreinato de Nueva Granada, le pide que se reúna con él en Cartagena de Indias. La esperan una fortuna en cacaotales y un aristócrata venido a menos con quien casarse. Pero al desembarcar le informan que su padre fue asesinado y su prometido se casó con otra. Pronto Carina descubrirá los turbios negocios de su padre, el contrabando generalizado, el clima de guerra que se vive en todo el Caribe entre España e Inglaterra, la existencia de una hermanastra mulata perseguida por la Inquisición y los pasquines difamatorios que la han puesto en ridículo antes de llegar a la ciudad. Su camino se cruzará con el de Diego de Veranz, un malcriado aristócrata desterrado de la ciudad acusado de un crimen, que tras su fachada de bonvivant trabaja en secreto para la Corona. Oculto tras el disfraz de letrado, ayudará a la mujer a la que él mismo convirtió en el hazmerreír de toda Cartagena. Ambos buscan venganza, pero serán arrollados por un elemento imprevisto: la pasión.Las plantaciones de cacao, las misas negras en las ciénagas, el poder de la Inquisición y el lujo de la corte virreinal, el pirateo en Jamaica y Tortuga, el asalto inglés a Portobello y el ataque inglés a Cartagena -el mayor en la historia naval hasta el de Normandía doscientos años después-, son el escenario de esta heroica novela de amor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Poemas de escombros y cenizas, Consuelo Hernández, su autora, nos provee de una palabra urgida y urgente, incontenible. Se abalanza esta voz por el espacio injusto que descubre en todo lugar, y hecha grito recorre en busca de hacerse oír, en donde ya sabemos nadie oye. No le parece tarea perdida sino necesaria. Y va pues, a atravesarse en los carriles de lo que vislumbra es nuestra historia un sartal de catástrofes que no nos deja en pie- a parar estos versos en alto, a hacer visible la alerta, con la ilusión de que alguien se detendrá. Sin duda, un libro con estas características es un libro necesario y urgente. Elvira Hernández Poeta chilena In Poems of Debris and Ashes, Consuelo Hernández, the author, provides us with critical, urgent, and irrepressible words. This voice balances on the injustice found everywhere and becomes a shout that, in search of being heard, travels to a place where we know no one hears it. Its effort is not wasted, but necessary. And so it goes, down the road of what seems to be our history a string of catastrophes that knock us down to put these verses on high, making the warning visible, with the hope that someone will pause. Without a doubt, a book with these characteristics is a much needed and urgent book. Elvira Hernández Chilean poet

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In western countries, including the United States, foreign-trained nurses constitute a crucial labor supply. Far and away the largest number of these nurses come from the Philippines. Why is it that a developing nation with a comparatively greater need for trained medical professionals sends so many of its nurses to work in wealthier countries? Catherine Ceniza Choy engages this question through an examination of the unique relationship between the professionalization of nursing and the twentieth-century migration of Filipinos to the United States. The first book-length study of the history of Filipino nurses in the United States, Empire of Care brings to the fore the complicated connections among nursing, American colonialism, and the racialization of Filipinos. Choy conducted extensive interviews with Filipino nurses in New York City and spoke with leading Filipino nurses across the United States. She combines their perspectives with various others—including those of Philippine and American government and health officials—to demonstrate how the desire of Filipino nurses to migrate abroad cannot be reduced to economic logic, but must instead be understood as a fundamentally transnational process. She argues that the origins of Filipino nurse migrations do not lie in the Philippines' independence in 1946 or the relaxation of U.S. immigration rules in 1965, but rather in the creation of an Americanized hospital training system during the period of early-twentieth-century colonial rule. Choy challenges celebratory narratives regarding professional migrants’ mobility by analyzing the scapegoating of Filipino nurses during difficult political times, the absence of professional solidarity between Filipino and American nurses, and the exploitation of foreign-trained nurses through temporary work visas. She shows how the culture of American imperialism persists today, continuing to shape the reception of Filipino nurses in the United States.

Book excerpt: In the last fifty years, transnational adoption—specifically, the adoption of Asian children—has exploded in popularity as an alternative path to family making. Despite the cultural acceptance of this practice, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the factors that allowed Asian international adoption to flourish. In Global Families, Catherine Ceniza Choy unearths the little-known historical origins of Asian international adoption in the United States. Beginning with the post-World War II presence of the U.S. military in Asia, she reveals how mixed-race children born of Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese women and U.S. servicemen comprised one of the earliest groups of adoptive children. Based on extensive archival research, Global Families moves beyond one-dimensional portrayals of Asian international adoption as either a progressive form of U.S. multiculturalism or as an exploitative form of cultural and economic imperialism. Rather, Choy acknowledges the complexity of the phenomenon, illuminating both its radical possibilities of a world united across national, cultural, and racial divides through family formation and its strong potential for reinforcing the very racial and cultural hierarchies it sought to challenge.

Book excerpt: The second installment in the New York Times bestselling series "made for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Sabaa Tahir" (Bustle), Lady Smoke is an epic new fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people. The Kaiser murdered Theodosia's mother, the Fire Queen, when Theo was only six. He took Theo's country and kept her prisoner, crowning her Ash Princess--a pet to toy with and humiliate for ten long years. That era has ended. The Kaiser thought his prisoner weak and defenseless. He didn't realize that a sharp mind is the deadliest weapon. Theo no longer wears a crown of ashes. She has taken back her rightful title, and a hostage--Prinz Soren. But her people remain enslaved under the Kaiser's rule, and now she is thousands of miles away from them and her throne. To get them back, she will need an army. Only, securing an army means she must trust her aunt, the dreaded pirate Dragonsbane. And according to Dragonsbane, an army can only be produced if Theo takes a husband. Something an Astrean Queen has never done. Theo knows that freedom comes at a price, but she is determined to find a way to save her country without losing herself. Praise for the Ash Princess Series: "A darkly enchanting page-turner you won't be able to put down."--Bustle "A smart, feminist twist on a traditional tale of a fallen heroine, with plenty of court intrigue, love, and lies to sweeten the deal. Good luck putting this one down." --Virginia Boecker, author of The Witch Hunter series "This searing page-turner is a compelling examination of the complexities of both evil and resistance."--Sarah Porter, author of Vassa in the Night "A dark and spellbinding epic." --Sara Holland, New York Times bestselling author of Everless "A rebel queen fans the sparks of revolution...[and] Theo's first-person narration remains enthralling with emotional immediacy...[while] packed to the brim with intrigue and the promise."-Kirkus Reviews
