The anthology includes tales by such masters as Alberto Gerchunoff, . . . a large number of innovative women writers, and some authors more familiar to English-speaking readers.”—Library Journal “Reminds us that society south of the border is just as multicultural as in the US, and that Jews have played an important role in it since the time of the Spanish conquest.”—Publishers Weekly Jewish identity and magical realism are the themes of the tales of adventure and cultural alienation collected here by the leading authority on Jewish Latin American literature.

Cada capítulo comprende aspectos vinculados con recetas, lengua, arte y teoría. Los estudiantes son expuestos a temas de geografía, historia, literatura, política, economía, religión, música e, incluso, cuestiones de género que estarían implicadas en la elaboración y en el consumo de ciertas comidas. Y, esto, mientras mejoran sus habilidades en temas esenciales y específicos del español. A lo largo del libro, están incorporados materiales de internet —como vínculos para videos, registros sonoros, referencias históricas, sitios web de cocina y contenidos suplementarios para la investigación. Muy útil en cursos universitarios, Saberes con sabor es un recurso original y único de aprendizaje para estudiantes fascinados por los placeres del paladar y, de igual manera, con una genuina pasión por las culturas hispánicas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Trauma in Postdictatorship Latin American Literature: Chile and Argentina examines the traumatic experiences of Chile and Argentina under authoritarian regimes and argues that in order for postdictatorship countries to successfully implement transitions to democracy, they must confront the past. This book employs the research of psychologists Bessel van der Kolk, Judith Herman, Donald Dutton, Elizabeth Loftus, and Cathy Caruth, in order to better understand the emotional and psychological effects of national trauma in the works of Chileans Diamela Eltit and Ariel Dorfman, and Argentines Ricardo Piglia and Griselda Gambaro. The themes and characters transcend national boundaries - the abuse, torture, paranoia, anguish, and shame are common to all human beings oppressed by tyranny. The inclusion of theater is necessary in global times for the art of drama has the power to ignite a repressed consciousness to emerge and contribute to progress and change. National Trauma in Postdictatorship Latin American Literature: Chile and Argentina proceeds with the reality that it is possible to heal from past trauma and become - once again - dignified citizens of the world.

Book excerpt: La marcha fúnebre puede haberse oído unas 13 mil veces por las bajas entre las tropas invasoras y quizás incluso el doble por los muertos del país derrotado: así de mortífero fue el conflicto que enfrentó a Estados Unidos con México entre 1846 y 1848. Caídos en acción o víctimas del hambre, la sed o diversas enfermedades, esos soldados formaban parte de ejércitos variopintos en los que convivían los combatientes voluntarios con los profesionales, oficiales de élite con pobres diablos que no imaginaban más futuro que alistarse para escapar a la miseria, e incluso guerrilleros que de forma espontánea enfrentaron al enemigo; por si fuera poco, también miles de civiles mexicanos fueron ultimados, ora por el fuego de los combates, ora por la falta de comida. Peter Guardino traza en esta obra la historia social y no sólo política de una guerra que marcó para siempre la relación entre estos dos países norteamericanos. Su detallado análisis —en el que hay una constante mirada a los aspectos de género, raza y religión— permite confrontar la arraigada creencia de que México fue derrotado porque su población carecía de un firme sentimiento nacional y postular que las principales explicaciones del desenlace fueron el expansionismo estadounidense y la disparidad económica de los contendientes. Este nuevo acercamiento al traumático choque de México con su entonces muy admirado vecino del norte sin duda revitalizará la comprensión de un momento clave de nuestra historia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el siglo XIX, un joven y apuesto arquitecto español, viaja de España a un pueblo de Veracruz, para reclamar una propiedad de sus ancestros, pero se enamora de una hermosa lugareña, con la que vive un amor inconmensurable. El producto de su amor furtivo, fuera del matrimonio, es arrancado de los brazos de su madre con una deleznable mentira, para obsequiarlo a una yerbera llamada Manuela, y así esconder la deshonra de la familia, Un abominable crimen por el robo de unas perlas, y que nunca se esclarece sirve para descargar el odio del ofendido padre de la joven hacia el arquitecto; lo hace parecer culpable y lo encierran prisión bajo un nombre falso. El martirio por el que pasa en su encierro, la búsqueda incansable de su familia para dar con su paradero; su amada con el corazón de hecho que tampoco deja de buscarlos a él y a su hijo; la yerbera que descubre en su hijo adoptivo su extraordinario don, que utiliza en sus remedios con asombrosos resultados, y la llevan a la fama; el reencuentro del hijo con su madre; la amistad que surge entre ambas mujeres; llenan esta historia de aventuras, de misterio, de magia y de amor, con un final estremecedor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she hears about the suicide of a Buenos Aires train driver who has left a note confessing to four mortal ‘accidents’ on the train tracks, journalist Veronica Rosenthal decides to investigate. For the police the case is closed (suicide is suicide), for Veronica it is the beginning of a journey that takes her into an unfamiliar world of grinding poverty, crime-infested neighborhoods, and train drivers on commuter lines haunted by the memory of bodies hit at speed by their locomotives in the middle of the night. Aided by a train driver with whom she has a tumultuous and reckless affair, a junkie in rehab and two street kids willing to risk everything for a can of Coke, she uncovers a group of men involved in betting on working-class youngsters convinced to play Russian roulette by standing in front of fast-coming trains to see who endures the longest.

Book excerpt: Today, the world offers us more options than ever before, but it also forces us to juggle more priorities, to make more choices, and to make them faster. The result: a crisis of doing too much, or not enough, and making our decisions based on impulse, stress or guilt. In 10-10-10Suzy Welch offers an exciting, effective strategy that will help you make the right decision in any situation, at work or at home; with colleagues, family or friends. The rule is deceptively simple: when faced with a decision, consider what the consequences and outcomes of your various options would be in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years. But the results are extraordinary. Using the framework of 10-10-10will allow you to think through your decisions and to match them with the expectations and values you hold dearest. Most importantly, it allows you to chart a path in the direction you want, and to head confidently towards it with focus, balance, and joy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conversation continues. What if a stranger knew you better than you know yourself? Exasperated by her husband’s sudden new obsession with Jesus, Mattie Cominsky views an out-of-town business trip as a welcome opportunity to reflect on their marriage—and to decide if it’s time to put an end to this painfully unrewarding relationship. Aboard the plane, Mattie is relieved to find herself seated next to a passenger who shares her scorn for religion. After she confides her husband’s unexpected turn, their conversation soon leads to a fascinating exploration of spirituality, God, and the quest for meaningful connection. Mattie’s skepticism softens under the perceptive insights of this stranger, and she finds herself confronting the unspoken longings of her soul. As his comments touch on personal issues he couldn’t possibly know about, she begins to wonder if she’s misjudged not only Nick but also the God he now claims to believe in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Caja de Herramientas Para los Líderes Pastorales de Hoy es una respuesta a los comentarios que hemos recibido en la Leadership Roundtable en los últimos años; la importancia de apoyar al siempre creciente clero hispanoparlante y líderes laicos en las mejores prácticas en el liderazgo parroquial. Hemos seleccionado varios temas del existente A Pastor’s Toolbox, Volúmenes 1 & 2, y hemos agregado nuevos trabajos para apoyar los líderes. Algunos de los temas incluyen Recursos Humanos, Visión, Gestión de Voluntarios, Pastoral Juvenil, Gestión de Riesgos y Administración y Recaudación de Fondos, por nombrar algunos. Todos estos capítulos han sido traducidos al español por el Padre Juan Molina y su equipo en el Mexican American Catholic College. En la Leadership Roundtable sentimos que esta obra será un gran complemento para la Iniciativa de Liderazgo Pastoral Latino, donde hemos facilitado muchas de nuestras capacitaciones de mejores prácticas de liderazgo en un formato bilingüe tanto para líderes clérigos como laicos. Aprende más sobre cómo la Leadership Roundtable ha apoyado la formación de clérigos y líderes laicos, en las mejores prácticas de liderazgo en www.LeadershipRoundtable.org.
