Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960s don’t seem that long ago to many of us. Given how crowded and closely connected the world of the present is, it’s hard to imagine there were places then that had been settled and cultivated for four hundred years but, as recently as the 1980’s, had no electricity, no plumbing, and very little traffic except for horses, donkeys, and (mostly bare) feet. The valley of the Rio Mira in Ecuador was such a place. Jesuit priests brought slaves - including Lola Laben’s ancestors - to farm sugarcane almost four hundred years ago. Slavery was abolished, but the work continued. Agrarian reform came, Lola’s parents became land owners, and the work continued. Lola was born in a mud house identical to the ones her slave ancestors had been born in for generations. She helped her parents farm a little farther downriver in the same manner that her ancestors had farmed. She explored her tropical paradise and wondered about faraway places and listened to the news of the outside world: the world beyond her valley and the city where the train came to and from three times a week. Fate determined that the outside world would find her, and she now resides in the most thoroughly modern and up-to-date nation on the planet. Guess what? Her childhood was full of wonder, beauty, adventure, and freedom even though survival was less certain. This book recounts the world that Lola was born into and how her heritage prepared her to meet the challenges of her future.

Download or read book Made in Puerto Rico written by Hugo R. Viera-Vargas and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Made in Puerto Rico: Studies in Popular Music serves as a comprehensive introduction to the history, culture, and musicology of 20th and 21st century popular music in Puerto Rico. The essays in this volume, written by both local experts and leading scholars, contextualize under-researched areas of Puerto Rican popular music-making in relation to ideologies, aesthetics, and symbolism, and propose new ways of thinking about Puerto Rican musical cultures. A groundbreaking introduction to Puerto Rican musical culture, the volume covers the major figures, styles, and social contexts of popular music in Puerto Rico, while also going beyond conventional narratives. Rather than simply providing histories of key genres, these insightful essays focus on the ways in which Puerto Rican musicians reimagine their distinctive musical language as it transmutes from local practices into global expressions. Offering both a survey of Puerto Rican popular music and pathways into deeper critical inquiry, Made in Puerto Rico is an essential resource for scholars and students of music and of Puerto Rican, Caribbean, Latin American, and African Diaspora Studies.

Download or read book Impresiones a Colores written by Xelhua RodÉ and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impresiones a Colores son una serie de relatos que compendian veinte años de la vida del autor y que, mediante la secuencia no cronológica expone las realidades sociales y culturales que se concretan en la comunidad mexicana; el autor hace un recorrido atrevido expresando con libertad poética, las sensaciones que le transcurren; en algunos momentos se declara dadaísta y surrealista. Como Tzara balbucea los sonidos en el intento de la experiencia cero o Kandinsky se pierde en el caballete. La vida cotidiana le permite al autor inventarse y recrear mediante ejercicios de narrativa, de versificación, destacar los problemas sociales y la importancia de la vida en familia. El libro intenta acercarse al lector en un viaje sincrético, volátil y sensacional que le permiten al autor construir un enfoque de vida diaria grandemente enriquecido por la cotidianeidad, el amor a su familia y a su única hija, -que estuvo a punto de perder- hacen un vuelco fundamental que describe las Líneas de Tiempo y su entorno vital. Es una obra provocadora que más allá de la exposición de personajes y aventuras relatadas, desencadena quizá al análisis posterior de la realidad, oponerse al positivismo todavía vigente en algunos contextos.

Download or read book A Portrait of Death written by Claudio Hernández and Manuel DelPrieto and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2019-04-13 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An artist whose canvas signifies death. A Deputy Inspector desperate for a child who’s caught in the middle. An Inspector who prefers to work alone. These are the essential elements of ‘A Portrait of Death’. Deputy Inspector Lola Gúzman and her husband are on holiday innocently wandering around Barcelona, enjoying the sights and experiencing the culture, when all hell breaks loose as blood and death seem to occur all around her. However, the killing spree isn’t just confined to the Catalonian capital, but spreads to other cities all around Spain growing ever more gruesome. The massacres do have one thing in common; they come accompanied by works of art. Art created by the brush of a master. Deputy Inspector Lola Gúzman teams up with Inspector Andrés López of the UCO, Spain’s elite organized crime department. They are confronted by no ordinary criminal, but a madman who will stop at nothing to produce the most grotesque paintings possible; paintings that will live long in the memory. However, the paintings don’t just include random members of the general public, as the two police officers find that the lives of the ones they hold dearest have also stepped into the killer’s cross hairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Higher Education, What makes you so high? Are you reaching a form of enlightenment that I cannot reach without your guidance? What are all these fancy words that you believe you have created with recycled thoughts passed through the wisdom of human life that now you have accumulated into a theory simply because you have these three letters by your namePhD? Dear University, What is this oversaturated word that you call diversity? Diverse bodies based on skin tones are simply diverse demographics in which you can statistically accumulate, quantify, and therefore display to the world like a curated gallery of foreign objects for an anthropological final project. That in which you promote as diverse. Do you cultivate a diversified mentality, or have you simply perpetuated stagnancy in the name of a degree? A degree that is as thin as paper yet as valuable, as life-changing, as the life you will live two thousand kilometers away from sec. 8. Dear Millennial, In the name of activism, social justice, justice, and service, how has the time you spent listening to lectures developed your adequacy in connecting to that which you serve? What has become of you to be driven by the rush of feeling good and clocking in your social justice volunteers hours on a clipboard? Rather, become soulfully apart of the integrity behind the mission itself. A mission, simply words put into theory, and theory published throughout a course curriculum to what point has your morality bridged theory into praxis? Oh, the irony! To be a woman of color and only know of what I am once I have gone through a formula of stepstirelessly attain not one, but many internships and volunteer in various fields or experiences. Maintain a stellar GPA since you will learn very early on that it is a number that will define your value and, therefore, your worth. Become an applicant then be accepted, for it is a resume that will define the blueprint of your skill-set and, therefore, capabilities.

Cuando aceptes esta invitación, podrás lanzar UNA MIRADA AL CIELO y encontrarás una maravillosa sorpresa: el descubrimiento del paraíso y la vida eterna que se abre ante ti. Realiza conmigo este viaje y encuentra los designios que Dios me ha revelado para ti. Descubre, a través de la lectura de esta obra testimonial, experiencias por las que he pasado yo misma y por las que han pasado otros, y una respuesta a las interrogantes existenciales: ¿Qué es la muerte física? ¿Qué hay más allá de ella? ¿Somos solo polvo que se extingue y lleva el viento o somos un espíritu que trasciende? ¿Existe un juicio superior después de la muerte? Y si es así, ¿quién lo hace? ¿Existe Dios? ¿Qué es el purgatorio? ¿Qué es la vida eterna? ¿Cómo deberé vivir en el aquí y en el ahora para tener derecho a una vida mejor? Como adelanto, quiero decirte que este viaje no tiene fi n. Es apenas un breve itinerario, pero ten cuidado, porque necesitas ir preparado. Como equipaje, debes llevar un corazón sensible y abierto, una actitud humilde para aceptar lo que descubras durante el trayecto y una mente alejada de toda crítica, porque solo de esta manera podrás darle uso a tus nuevos ojos. Pronto estarás de regreso para continuar con la cotidianeidad de tu existencia, y tal vez, después de lanzar UNA MIRADA AL CIELO, tu corazón, tu espíritu y tu mente encontrarán el verdadero sentido de la felicidad y la clave para vivir eternamente en el paraíso, en compañía de Dios y tus seres queridos. ¿Qué esperas? ¡Acompáñame!
