Download or read book Emilio Sanchez in New York and Latin America written by Victor Deupi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the life and artistic activities of Emilio Sanchez (1921–1999) in New York, and Latin America in the 1940s and 1950s. More specifically, the book will consider Sanchez in the wider context of mid-century Cuban artists, and cross-cultural exchange between New York, Cuba, and the Caribbean. The book reflects on why Sanchez chose to be a mobile observer of the American and Caribbean vernacular at a time when such an approach seemed at odds with the mainstream avant-garde. The book includes a foreword by Dr. Ann Koll, former Executive Director/Curator of the Emilio Sanchez Foundation, and an introduction by Dr. Nathan J. Timpano, University of Miami Department of Art and Art History. This book will be of interest to scholars in modern art, Caribbean studies, architectural history, and Latin American and Hispanic studies.

Download or read book With All and for the Good of All written by Gerald E. Poyo and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1989-03-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuban-Americans are beginning to understand their long-standing roots and traditions in the United States that reach back over a century prior to 1959. This is the first book-length confirmation of those beginnings, and its places the Cuban hero and revolutionary thinker José Martí within the political and socioeconomic realities of the Cuban communities in the United States of that era. By clarifying Martí’s relationship with those communities, Gerald E. Poyo provides a detailed portrait of the exile centers and their role in the growth and consolidation of nineteenth-century Cuban nationalism. Poyo differentiates between the development of nationalist sentiment among liberal elites and popular groups and reveals how these distinct strains influenced the thought and conduct of Martí and the successful Cuban revolution of the 1890s.

Download or read book Henry Meiggs written by Watt Stewart and published by International Law & Taxation Pub. This book was released on 2000 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The illicit adventures of an American on foreign soil. Henry Meiggs, the hero in this novel is one of a type that has become familiar in American history: the man who wanted power and millions and was not much concerned about his means of getting them. But his story has freshness because little attention has been paid him and because of the Latin-American scene of his activities. While many Americans have gone abroad and played roles of significance in the life of other nations, few perhaps equaled Meiggs in the scope of his ideas or in the daring with which he strove to make them actualities. His place in the history of both Chile and Peru is one of considerable importance. The economic and political developments in those countries in the period 1855-1880, during most of which Meiggs was quite prominent in one or both, were of the first importance in their later history. The fact that the War of the Pacific, of greatest significance to both countries, was begun shortly after Meigg's death, cannot fail to suggest that his activities are worthy of some study.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brilliant and eminently readable cultural history looks at Mexican life during the dictatorship of Porfirio D�az, from 1876 to 1911.

Beezley illuminates many facets of everyday Mexican life lying at the heart of this conflict and change, including sports, storytelling, healthcare, technology, and the traditional Easter-time Judas burnings that became a primary focus of the strife during those years.
