Book Synopsis Always Running by : Luis J. Rodríguez
Download or read book Always Running written by Luis J. Rodríguez and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning memoir of life in an LA street gang from the acclaimed Chicano author and former Los Angeles Poet Laureate: “Fierce, and fearless” (The New York Times). Luis J. Rodríguez joined his first gang at age eleven. As a teenager, he witnessed the rise of some of the most notorious cliques in Southern California. He grew up knowing only a life of violence—one that revolved around drugs, gang wars, and police brutality. But unlike most of those around him, Rodríguez found a way out when art, writing, and political activism gave him a new path—and an escape from self-destruction. Always Running spares no detail in its vivid, brutally honest portrayal of street life and violence, and it stands as a powerful and unforgettable testimonial of gang life by one of the most acclaimed Chicano writers of his generation. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Luis J. Rodríguez including rare images from the author’s personal collection.

Book excerpt: In Buones Aires geboren, studierte Fabio Borquez Kunst und Architektur. Stipendien führten ihn nach Indien, Kolumbien und seit einigen Jahren lebt er in Deutschland. Er arbeitete als Architekt, bevor er sich ganz der Fotografie zuwandte. Regelmäßig reist er nach Südamerika, um Fotostrecken für den argentinischen Playboy und andere Magazine zu schießen. "Borquez-Akte wirken immer ehrlich, authentisch und direkt... Es lodert, wenn diese Frauen die Kleider ablegen und für ihn Sex-Appeal zeigen. Es brennt, wenn sie auf dem Sofa liegen und uns entgegenblicken. Wissend um diesen voyeuristischen Moment voll sinnlicher Anspannung. Fabio Borquez läßt die Frauen Vamp sein oder Mäuschen. Die meisten zeigen in diesem Augenblick mehr die Marlene, die Femme fatale, als den Unschuldsengel. Die Fotografie ist für ihn ein Spiel mit der Kamera, dessen Regeln der Augenblick schreibt. Und ständig ändert." Manfred Zollner, Stellv. Chefredakteur Fotomagazin

Book Synopsis American Sabor by : Marisol Berros-Miranda
Download or read book American Sabor written by Marisol Berros-Miranda and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evoking the pleasures of music as well as food, the word sabor signifies a rich essence that makes our mouths water or makes our bodies want to move. American Sabor traces the substantial musical contributions of Latinas and Latinos in American popular music between World War II and the present in five vibrant centers of Latin@ musical production: New York, Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco, and Miami. From Tito Puente�s mambo dance rhythms to the Spanglish rap of Mellow Man Ace, American Sabor focuses on musical styles that have developed largely in the United States�including jazz, rhythm and blues, rock, punk, hip hop, country, Tejano, and salsa�but also shows the many ways in which Latin@ musicians and styles connect US culture to the culture of the broader Americas. With side-by-side Spanish and English text, authors Marisol Berr�os-Miranda, Shannon Dudley, and Michelle Habell-Pall�n challenge the white and black racial framework that structures most narratives of popular music in the United States. They present the regional histories of Latin@ communities�including Chicanos, Tejanos, and Puerto Ricans�in distinctive detail, and highlight the shared experiences of immigration/migration, racial boundary crossing, contesting gender roles, youth innovation, and articulating an American experience through music. In celebrating the musical contributions of Latinos and Latinas, American Sabor illuminates a cultural legacy that enriches us all.
Book Synopsis Latino Image Makers in Hollywood by : Frank Javier Garcia Berumen
Download or read book Latino Image Makers in Hollywood written by Frank Javier Garcia Berumen and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos have been part of the Hollywood film industry for more than 100 years, yet beyond the remarkable success of a few, their visibility and clout have generally not reflected their significance in American society. Worse, the Latino image has suffered from widespread stereotyping in film, and performers face unjustified constraints in the kinds of roles available to them. Decade by decade from 1960 onward, this book analyzes important films made by or about Latinos, details the careers of Latino performers and filmmakers of the time, and analyzes how film portrayals of Latino characters and subjects connect with political and social trends of each decade. It discusses the role of gender, social class, and ethnicity in film portrayals and provides an overview of the diverse and dynamic Latino community in the United States, while celebrating a substantial and enduring contribution to Hollywood film history.

Book Synopsis In the Company of Women by : Karen Hollinger
Download or read book In the Company of Women written by Karen Hollinger and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Desperately Seeking Susan, Steel Magnolias, and Thelma & Louise to Desert Hearts, Girl Friends, and Passion Fish, mainstream cinema has seen a wave of films focusing on friendships between women. In tire Company of Women is the first critical work to investigate the recent resurgence of this variety of the "woman's film". Examining the female friendship film since the 1970s and setting it against older films of the 1930s and 1940s, such as Mildred Pierce and Stella Dallas, Karen Hollinger studies the character of the films themselves and how they speak to female viewers. She argues that while many of these films initially seem to affirm the power of female friendship and reject traditional images of women, most of them ultimately fall back on conventional feminine roles. Hollinger argues that the female friendship film, by attempting to assimilate into the mainstream, uses ideas from the women's movement, like female autonomy and sisterhood, that are particularly susceptible to compromise. It is this blend of empowering and conservative elements that makes the female friendship film neither a true challenge to the status quo nor a mere confirmation of dominant ideology but rather a multifaceted cinematic form that reflects both of these strains. Hollinger considers all of the major issues in feminist film criticism -- from audience reception to the identification with characters, from sexuality to racial identity. Engaging and provocative, In the Company of Women is an entertaining and enlightening account of one of contemporary cinema's most vital genres.
