Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dancing on the Sun Stone is a uniquely transdisciplinary work that fuses modern Latin American history and literature to explore women's lives and gendered politics in Mexico. In this important work, scholar Marjorie Becker focuses on the complex Mexican women of rural Michoacán who performed an illicit revolutionary dance and places it in dialogue with Nobel Prize winner Octavio Paz's signature poem, "Sun Stone"--allowing a new gendered history to emerge. Through this dialogue, the women reveal intimate and intellectual complexities of Mexican women's gendered voices, their histories, and their intimate and public lives. The work further demonstrates the ways these women, in dialogue with Paz, transformed history itself. Becker's multigenre work reconstructs Mexican history through the temporal experiences of crucial Michoacán females, experiences that culminate in their complex revolutionary dance, which itself emerges as a transformative revolutionary language.

This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The event horizon of a Black Hole has been discovered reading the ≥ 500 years old Aztec ‘Sun Stone’ almanac glyphs and it has been called Tezcatlipoca in honours to the Mesoamerican God, the ‘Smoking Mirror’. The astronomical phenomenon is guessed to cause the mass extinction between Triassic and Jurassic, the one involving the rising of the Archosauria, from aquatic carnivorous PlacoDontoidae super-family into terrestrial herbivorous Zanclodon laevis (Ladinian – Carnian age). Furthermore, a serendipity conjecture about the European colonization of the American continent before 1492 and the biological identifications of theological Demulge family [Noah, Naamah and their three children (Shem, Ham and Josphet)] emerged via syncretism.

Book excerpt: A fantasy reality The steam-powered civilization of Myrn is a thriving adolescent culture. But the rapid industrial development has given rise to greed, and the triumvirate of government, banks and industry leaders has lost sight of those it swore to serve and protect. A mysterious incurable illness sweeps through the impoverished masses. It increases the suffering to the breaking point. Rebellion boils under the surface. Society is on the brink of revolution, marking the planet for destruction. M’nacht, his son Kes, and his team of researchers investigate a legend of three sacred fossils which could save the people and rebalance Myrn. But they are not the only ones looking. Where they glimpse salvation, others see power, wealth and control. Will they find the gifts of the goddess Navora in time to save their world, or will the sacrifice of innocents vanish under the weight of human depravity and corruption?

Book excerpt: Octavio Paz, asserts Eliot Weinberger in his introduction to these Selected Poems, is among the last of the modernists "who drew their own maps of the world." For Latin America's foremost living poet, his native Mexico has been the center of a global mandala, a cultural configuration that, in his life and work, he has traced to its furthest reaches: to Spain, as a young Marxist during the Civil War; to San Francisco and New York in the early 1940s; to Paris, as a surrealist, in the postwar years; to India and Japan in 1952, and to the East again as his country's ambassador to India from 1962 to 1968; and to various universities in the United States throughout the 1970s. A great synthesizer, the rich diversity of Paz's thought is shown here in all its astonishing complexity. Among the sixty-seven selections in this volume, a gathering in English of his most essential poems drawn from nearly fifty years' work, are Muriel Rukeyser's now classic version of "Sun Stone" and new translations by editor Weinberger of "Blanco" and "Maithuna." And since for Paz, forever in motion, there can be no such thing as a "definitive text," all the poems have been revised to conform to the poet's most recent changes in the original Spanish. Besides those by Rukeyser and Weinberger, the translations in the Selected Poems are by G. Aroul, Elizabeth Bishop, Paul Blackburn, Lysander Kemp, Denise Levertov, Mark Strand, Charles Tomlinson, William Carlos Williams, and Monique Fong Wust.

Book excerpt: Dancing with the Sun is a celebration of the life and artwork of esteemed Chicano artist Manuel Hernandez Trujillo, as curated and edited by his dear friend and fellow artist Dr. Manuel N. Gomez. Trujillo's expansive body of work ranges from yarn paintings and personal watercolors to posters and wall murals. Though varied in subject, style, and color, Trujillo's work carries over-arching themes of his love for his family, the Chicano community, and struggles for social justice. Trujillo was drawn to creating art from a young age, beginning with sketches he created of fellow field workers and orange pickers in Southern California in the 1940s. Decades later, with extensive art education, teaching experience, and personal art exploration under his belt, and his artwork collection is extensive enough to fill an entire published work. Dancing with the Sun takes readers, history lovers, and art enthusiasts through the journey of Trujillo's life, with gorgeous photographs of his entire body of work accompanied by personal commentary, historical background, and insight from Gomez, Trujillo's trusted colleague. "The magnificent Dancing with the Sun, featuring the extraordinary artwork of Manuel Hernandez Trujillo, is a work of love designed and edited by his friend, the UC Irvine Vice Chancellor, Emeritus Manuel N. Gomez ... I had seen some of Trujillo's poster art over the years, but simply had no idea of his remarkable body of work across genres, all of which are lovingly photographed and pictured here." - Michael A. Olivas, author of No Undocumented Child Left Behind: Plyler v. Doe and the Education of Undocumented Children "Dancing with the Sun is a true tribute to one of the most effective activities and graceful artists of our time." - Helena Maria Viramontes, Author of Under the Feet of Jesus and Their Dogs Came With Them and Professor of Creative Writing, Cornell University "Manuel N. Gomez has rendered a splendid tribute to the artwork of visual artist from Santa Ana, California, Manuel Hernandez Trujillo, in this collection of art and poetry." - Maria Herrera Sobek, Editor of Santa Barraza: Artist of the Borderlands and Associate Vice Chancellor/Professor of Chicano Studies at University of California, Santa Barbara

Book excerpt: World myth deciphered and organized into a coherent story of our past. It is almost impossible to read world mythology without noticing common threads and patterns that seem to paint a bigger picture. A story told by our ancient ancestors for future generations to remember and learn. What if the eyewitnesses to past events were taken seriously? What if we listen to their stories with unbiased ears, free of assumptions? What if their stories were backed up by scientific discoveries? What if the myths can explain the mysteries?

Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. "In the poems of THE MACON SEX SCHOOL, Marjorie Becker delivers a gendered syntax that arrives as desire and desire met, all in one gorgeous simultaneity. But resist the temptation to call these poems sly music; they do not exist to disarm. Rather, these super-articulate songs unspool and wind us up, stake claims, and reject bulls**t. They overturn courtesy by channeling it, fiercely. They free us, and they carry us along."--Dorothy Barresi
