Book excerpt: While growing up in México, Lucia Inocencio Granados is unconditionally loved by her grandmother, Mamá Juanita who tells her that she is the light of their destiny, born to change their lineage. All Lucia has to do is put herself in God’s hands. It is not until many years later, in the darkest moment of her life, that Lucia finally understands the depth of Mamá Juanita’s message. When she is just eight years old, Lucia’s life changes forever when she boards a bus with her parents and siblings without any idea that she is leaving everything she knows behind to migrate illegally to Los Angeles. After spending a month in Tijuana, Lucia and her family finally cross the border and settle in a rough neighborhood in Los Angeles. As she sets down a new path as a determined first-generation Méxican-American, Lucia attempts to overcome social pressures and expectations, financial and personal challenges, and cultural stereotypes. Brava is the inspirational story of a young Latina’s coming-of-age journey as she searches for success and true happiness after she migrates to the United States from México. But will she find a way to eventually realize the destiny her grandmother envisioned for her?
Download or read book Stringing Coral Beads The Religious Poetry of Brava c 1890 1975 written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 858 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents fifty-one didactic and devotional Sufi poems (with English translations) composed by the ulama of Brava, on Somalia’s Benadir coast, in Chimiini, a Bantu language related to Swahili and unique to the town. Because the six ulama-poets, among whom two women, guided local believers towards correct beliefs and behaviours in reference to specific authoritative religious texts, the poems allow insight into their authors’ religious education, affiliations, in which the Qādiriyyah and Aḥmadiyyah took pride of place, and regional connections. Because the poems refer to local people, places, events, and livelihoods, they also bring into view the uniquely local dimension of Islam in this small East African port city in this time-period.

Download or read book Crush Me R a Brava written by f.l.Crank and published by Radical Narratives. This book was released on 2016-10-23 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Crush Me / Ría Brava, f.l.Crank writes from the perspective of an immigrant woman, a worker who cleans the house of a wealthy Anglo woman in the United States. The sparse prose and dreamlike qualities of the narrator’s language encourage us to read this story as that of both a singular person and a representative of a larger mass of immigrant workers. Indeed our protagonist only names herself once and by the end of the narrative seems poised to disintegrate to an even more abstract version of herself. We may read this novel, as we are asked to understand it, as a broken one, a set of jagged pieces that together offer a portrait of gendered labor in a foreign land.” -Ariana Vigil, Ph.D.
