Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly lyrical, imagistic debut, Marcelo Hernandez Castillo creates a nuanced narrative of life before, during, and after crossing the US/Mexico border. These poems explore the emotional fallout of immigration, the illusion of the American dream via the fallacy of the nuclear family, the latent anxieties of living in a queer brown undocumented body within a heteronormative marriage, and the ongoing search for belonging. Finding solace in the resignation to sheer possibility, these poems challenge us to question the potential ways in which two people can interact, love, give birth, and mourn—sometimes all at once.

Download or read book The International Brigades written by Giles Tremlett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Magnificent. Narrative history at its vivid and compelling best' Fergal Keane The first major history of the International Brigades: a tale of blood, ideals and tragedy in the fight against fascism. The Spanish Civil War was the first armed battle in the fight against fascism, and a rallying cry for a generation. Over 35,000 volunteers from sixty-one countries around the world came to defend democracy against the troops of Franco, Hitler and Mussolini. Ill-equipped and disorderly, yet fuelled by a shared sense of purpose and potential glory, disparate groups of idealistic young men and women banded together to form a volunteer army of a size and kind unseen since the Crusades, known as the International Brigades. These passionate liberal fighters – from across Europe, China, Africa and the Americas – would join the Republican cause, fighting for over two years on the bloody battlegrounds of Madrid, Jarama and Ebro. Were they heroes or fools? Saints or bloodthirsty adventurers? And what exactly did they achieve? This is a story rendered vivid in the writings of Orwell and Hemingway, the paintings of Picasso and the photographs of Taro and Capa. But here, in this magisterial history, award-winning historian Giles Tremlett tells – for the first time – the story of the Spanish Civil War through the experiences of this remarkable group of people. Drawing on the Brigades' extensive archives in Moscow, Comintern documents and first-hand accounts, Tremlett captures all the human drama of an historic mission to halt fascist expansion in Europe. A fascinating history of resistance, The International Brigades shows just how far ordinary people will go to save democracy against overwhelming odds in a tale of European solidarity that resonates just as strongly today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Best Book of the Year A 2020 International Latino Book Award Finalist An Entertainment Weekly, The Millions, and LitHub Most Anticipated Book of the Year This unforgettable memoir from a prize-winning poet about growing up undocumented in the United States recounts the sorrows and joys of a family torn apart by draconian policies and chronicles one young man’s attempt to build a future in a nation that denies his existence. “You were not a ghost even though an entire country was scared of you. No one in this story was a ghost. This was not a story.” When Marcelo Hernandez Castillo was five years old and his family was preparing to cross the border between Mexico and the United States, he suffered temporary, stress-induced blindness. Castillo regained his vision, but quickly understood that he had to move into a threshold of invisibility before settling in California with his parents and siblings. Thus began a new life of hiding in plain sight and of paying extraordinarily careful attention at all times for fear of being truly seen. Before Castillo was one of the most celebrated poets of a generation, he was a boy who perfected his English in the hopes that he might never seem extraordinary. With beauty, grace, and honesty, Castillo recounts his and his family’s encounters with a system that treats them as criminals for seeking safe, ordinary lives. He writes of the Sunday afternoon when he opened the door to an ICE officer who had one hand on his holster, of the hours he spent making a fake social security card so that he could work to support his family, of his father’s deportation and the decade that he spent waiting to return to his wife and children only to be denied reentry, and of his mother’s heartbreaking decision to leave her children and grandchildren so that she could be reunited with her estranged husband and retire from a life of hard labor. Children of the Land distills the trauma of displacement, illuminates the human lives behind the headlines and serves as a stunning meditation on what it means to be a man and a citizen.

Download or read book Sarah s Search written by Rhoda Fegan and published by Badgley Publishing Company LLC. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Destiny! Fate! Sarah didn’t believe that life was contributable to these uncontrollable forces, but to the choices of human beings, and a very real and loving God. Although still single, she believed that God’s plan for her included marriage and a family with her as a pastor’s wife or hopefully, the wife of a foreign missionary. Her prayers for this very special man and their service together were more than a decade old. She saw no likely candidates, but trusted God with her life. So, Sarah lived her life in the moment serving God and looking for the joy God provided in each day. That joy now found her on a dream vacation in Toledo, Spain where she had fallen in love with the culture, the people, and the city. She had little more than a day left on her vacation and used her unscheduled time to visit an art gallery near her hostel where she met Fillip. They had a few hours together before Sarah dashed back to the safety of her familiar life. Vacation Sarah was little threat to Satan in Toledo even if her witness did win one man to the Enemy. The salvation of this waiter was an incidental note on the demon Warning’s report to his Master. But, Sarah doesn’t stay in her room and Fillip isn’t a man to give up easily. Warning, Satan's demon observer, reports to his Master that Sarah is becoming a real threat to Satan’s plans. Demons are ordered to intervene, but Sarah’s angels don’t leave her defenseless. Is God working and answering prayers? Will the assigned demons keep Sarah from a future with Fillip who is not saved and who has distanced himself from God?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an interdisciplinary comparative investigation of activist, artistic, literary, and academic discourse—expressive work promoting ecological justice, ending racism, and representing self and community through virtual realism—a cultural poetics of environmental justice. Research fixed on women’s work intervenes in patriarchal assumptions. Focus on marginalized areas in India and a U.S. movement led by people of color, defies racisms, and promotes vigilance against structural violence that permeates across political spectrums. Striving for environmental justice is not just community work, merely academic, or trendy art, performance, or literature. Environmental justice work demands interdisciplinary, transnational, transcommunity sharing, many border crossings and solid alliance-building. Chicanas and women in India engaged in such activities generate a rich cultural poetics—a transformative vision of environmental equity, ecological and civic wellbeing, and calming climate.
