Book excerpt: Días de Consuelo is an intimate immigration memoir in the graphic tradition of "Persepolis" that connects the personal recollections of the author's abuela (grandmother) with the storm of events that made up one of the most important uprisings of the 20th century: The Mexican Revolution. This graphic novel introduces middle grade through adult readers to the captivating story of Consuelo, her mother Evarista, grandmother Isabel and sister Beatriz as their lives are upended apart by civil war. "Días de Consuelo" is also the perfect introduction to revolutionary figures like Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, the series of uprisings that they led to put an end to centuries-old systems of oppression, and the toll that this violence took on daily life. With its expressive cartooning style, this book celebrates the Mexican-American experience in a way that has yet not been seen in the comics medium.
Download or read book The Meaning of Consuelo written by Judith Ortiz Cofer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2003-11-07 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La nina seria, the serious child. That's how Consuelo's mother has cast her pensive, book-loving daughter, while Consuelo's younger sister Mili, is seen as vivacious--a ray of tropical sunshine. Two daughters: one dark, one light; one to offer comfort and consolation, the other to charm and delight. But something is not right in this Puerto Rican family. Set in the 1950s, a time when American influence is diluting Puerto Rico's rich island culture, Consuelo watches her own family's downward spiral. It is Consuelo who notices as her beautiful sister Mili's vivaciousness turns into mysterious bouts of hysteria and her playful invented language shift into an incomprehensible and chilling "language of birds." Ultimately Consuelo must choose: Will she fulfill the expectations of her family--offering consolation as their tragedy unfolds? Or will she risk becoming la fulana, the outsider, like the harlequin figure of her neighbor, Mario/Maria Sereno, who flaunts his tight red pedal pushers and empty brassiere as he refuses the traditional macho role of his culture. This affecting novel is a lively celebration of Puerto Rico as well as an archetypal story of loss, the loss each of us experiences on our journey from the island of childhood to the uncharted territory of adulthood.
Download or read book Home in Florida written by Anjanette Delgado and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Independent Publisher Book Awards, Silver Medal for Anthology National Indie Excellence Awards, Finalist in the Anthology Category International Latino Book Awards, Gold Medal for Best Fiction (Multi-Author) International Latino Book Awards, Honorable Mention, Best Nonfiction (Multi-Author) A powerful collection of contemporary voices Showcasing a variety of voices shaped in and by a place that has been for them a crossroads and a land of contradictions, Home in Florida presents a selection of the best literature of displacement and uprootedness by some of the most talented contemporary Latinx writers who have called Florida home. Featuring fiction, nonfiction, and poetry by Richard Blanco, Jaquira Díaz, Patricia Engel, Jennine Capó Crucet, Reinaldo Arenas, Judith Ortiz Cofer, and many others, this collection of renowned and award-winning contributors includes several who are celebrated in their countries of origin but have not yet been discovered by readers in the United States. The writers in this volume—first- , second- , and third-generation immigrants to Florida from Cuba, Mexico, Honduras, Perú, Argentina, Chile, and other countries—reflect the diversity of Latinx experiences across the state. Editor Anjanette Delgado characterizes the work in this collection as literature of uprootedness, literatura del desarraigo, a Spanish literary tradition and a term used by Reinaldo Arenas. With the heart-changing, here-and-there perspective of attempting life in environments not their own, these writers portray many different responses to displacement, each occupying their own unique place on what Delgado calls a spectrum of belonging. Together, these writers explore what exactly makes Florida home for those struggling between memory and presence. In these works, as it is for many people seeking to make a new life in the United States, Florida is the place where the uprooted stop to catch their breath long enough to wonder, “What if I stayed? What if here could one day be my home?” Contributors: Daniel Reschinga | Ana Menéndez | Frances Negrón Muntaner | Hernán Vera Álvarez | Liz Balmaseda | Ariel Francisco | Andreina Fernandez | Amina Lolita Gautier PhD | Jennine Capó-Crucet | Dainerys Machado Vento | Carlos Harrison | Legna Rodríguez Iglesias | Judith Ortiz Cofer | Chantel Acevedo | Guillermo Rosales | Achy Obejas | Alex Segura | Patricia Engel | Anjanette Delgado | Mia Leonin | Carlos Pintado | Nilsa Ada Rivera | Natalie Scenters-Zapico | Pedro Medina León | Caridad Moro-Gronlier | Aracelis González Asendorf | Michael García-Juelle | Jaquira Díaz | José Ignacio Chascas-Valenzuela | Raúl Dopico | Javier Lentino | Yaddyra Peralta

Book excerpt: CONTRAPORTADAConsuelo busca desesperadamente sus or�genes secretos lejos de las palmeras tropicales, persigue sus apellidos biol�gicos en otro lugar completamente desconocido y apartado, en un pa�s fr�o y nevado. Su otra identidad ha estado oculta hasta mucho despu�s del fallecimiento de su padre, el prominente pol�tico Jacobo Majluta Azar, expresidente constitucional de Rep�blica Dominicana durante 42 d�as, como efecto del tr�gico suicidio de su predecesor. La verdad de su adopci�n ha sido celosamente guardada, cual herm�tico pacto conyugal y familiar hasta el �ltimo momento, incluso hasta el lecho de muerte de su amorosa madre adoptiva, la reservada Ana Elisa Villanueva Callot, Primera Dama de la Rep�blica, mujer de temple y exquisito ser humano. Tan inaudito secreto, lleva a Consuelo a cuestionar los misteriosos motivos del silencio guardado por tanto tiempo y conocido solo por un c�rculo muy �ntimo. Detalle oculto y demoledor, develado de manera casual, casi inadvertido, luego del fallecimiento de sus padres adoptivos, llev�ndola a revisitar su pasado con otra perspectiva, a ver el mundo de otra manera, y a descubrir con extrema dificultad e inquebrantable voluntad, el inapelable llamado de la sangre.
