  • Publisher : Duke University Press
  • Release : 2024-08-23
  • ISBN : 1478059591
  • Pages : 150 pages

Download or read book Sanctuary Everywhere written by Barbara Andrea Sostaita and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-23 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Sanctuary Everywhere, Barbara Andrea Sostaita reimagines practices of sanctuary along the U.S.-Mexico border in order to explore the possibilities for radical fugitivity in the face of militarized border enforcement. After the 2016 presidential election, churches, universities, cities, and even states began declaring themselves sanctuaries. Sostaita proposes that these calls for expanded sanctuary are insufficient when dealing with the everyday workings of immigration enforcement. Through fieldwork in migrant clinics, shelters, and the Sonoran Desert, Sostaita demonstrates that, as a sacred practice, sanctuary cannot be fixed in any one destination or mandate. She turns to those working to create sanctuary on the move, from a deported nurse offering medical care on the border to incarcerated migrant women denying rules on touch in detention facilities to collectives set up to honor those who died crossing the border. Understanding sanctuary to be a set of fugitive practices that escapes the everyday, Sostaita shows us how, in the wake of extreme violence and loss, migrants create sanctuaries of their own to care for the living and the dead.

Book The Mexican Filmography  1916 through 2001

Download or read book The Mexican Filmography 1916 through 2001 written by David E. Wilt and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-10-17 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican cinema has largely been overlooked by international film scholars because of a lack of English-language information and the fact that Spanish-language information was difficult to find and often out of date. This comprehensive filmography helps fill the need. Arranged by year of release and then by title, the filmography contains entries that include basic information (film and translated title, production company, genre, director, cast), a plot summary, and additional information about the film. Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.

Book Cemetery Citizens

    Book Details:
  • Author : Adam Rosenblatt
  • Publisher : Stanford University Press
  • Release : 2024-04-30
  • ISBN : 1503639126
  • Pages : 313 pages

Download or read book Cemetery Citizens written by Adam Rosenblatt and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the United States, groups of grassroots volunteers gather in overgrown, systemically neglected cemeteries. As they rake, clean headstones, and research silenced histories, they offer care to individuals who were denied basic rights and forms of belonging in life and in death. Cemetery Citizens is the first book-length study of this emerging form of social justice work. It focuses on how racial disparities shape the fates of the dead, and asks what kinds of repair are still possible. Drawing on interviews, activist anthropology, poems, and drawings, Adam Rosenblatt takes us to gravesite reclamation efforts in three prominent American cities. Cemetery Citizens dives into the ethical quandaries and practical complexities of cemetery reclamation, showing how volunteers build community across social boundaries, craft new ideas about citizenship and ancestry, and expose injustices that would otherwise be suppressed. Ultimately, Rosenblatt argues that an ethic of reclamation must honor the presence of the dead—treating them as fellow cemetery citizens who share our histories, landscapes, and need for care.

Book Manifesting Justice

Download or read book Manifesting Justice written by Valena Beety and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Just as the Black Lives Matter movement and recent protests have shown the leadership of women of color in organizing against the prison state, this book will show the leadership of women, which is too often ignored, in the innocence movement.” —Aya Gruber, Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School, author of The Feminist War on Crime Through the lens of her work with the Innocence Movement and her client Leigh Stubbs—a woman denied a fair trial in 2000 largely due to her sexual orientation—innocence litigator, activist, and founder of the West Virginia Innocence Project Valena Beety examines the failures in America’s criminal legal system and the reforms necessary to eliminate wrongful convictions—particularly with regards to women, the queer community, and people of color… When Valena Beety first became a federal prosecutor, her goal was to protect victims, especially women, from cycles of violence. What she discovered was that not only did prosecutions often fail to help victims, they frequently relied on false information, forensic fraud, and police and prosecutor misconduct. Seeking change, Beety began working in the Innocence Movement, helping to free factually innocent people through DNA testing and criminal justice reform. Manifesting Justice focuses on the shocking story of Beety’s client Leigh Stubbs—a young, queer woman in Mississippi, convicted of a horrific crime she did not commit because of her sexual orientation. Beety weaves Stubbs’s harrowing narrative through the broader story of a broken criminal justice system where defendants—including disproportionate numbers of women of color and queer individuals—are convicted due to racism, prejudice, coerced confessions, and false identifications. Drawing on interviews with both innocence advocates and wrongfully convicted women, along with Beety’s own experiences as an expert litigator and a queer woman, Manifesting Justice provides a unique outsider/insider perspective. Beety expands our notion of justice to include not just people who are factually innocent, but those who are over-charged, pressured into bad plea deals, and over-sentenced. The result is a riveting and timely book that not only advocates for reforming the conviction process—it will transform our very ideas of crime and punishment, what innocence is, and who should be free. With a Foreword by Koa Beck, author of White Feminism “A shocking study of how the criminal justice system discriminates … an invigorating and eye-opening call to action.” —Publishers Weekly “A thought-provoking book about the American justice system . . . Beety, an innocence litigator and former federal prosecutor, concludes her important book by proclaiming ‘Let’s manifest justice now!’” —Booklist

Book Sue  Os de lo Que Vendr   Despues Del 2012

Download or read book Sue Os de lo Que Vendr Despues Del 2012 written by El Hombre and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué sucederá después del 2012? Algunas culturas predijeron el fin de nuestro mundo y la idea está generando un pánico colectivo absurdo. El autor cree que después de esa fecha habrá una gran transformación que durará varios siglos, pero el 2012, en especial, traerá una serie de eventos que nos llevarán a un nivel de consciencia diferente. El libro narra una experiencia -producto de diversas meditaciones- en la que el autor entra en contacto con un ser evolucionado, el cual proviene de otro sistema solar y de otra época y ambos sueñan una posible visión del futuro. Pero, ¿cómo serán las sociedades en el futuro? ¿Qué tiene que hacer la humanidad para mejorar? ¿Qué tendremos que hacer todos los humanos para salir del embrollo en que se encuentra actualmente nuestra civilización? Pues, sin duda, nuestras sociedades están enfermas y colapsando sobre sí mismas. El autor pretende dar respuesta a la pregunta: ¿que debe desaparecer para crear esa Edad de Oro que muchos anhelamos? Deberemos renunciar a las creencias y a las ideologías, pero sobre todo a la política y a las actuales formas de control de la gente a través del miedo. Se dará la desaparición de las Instituciones, los gobiernos, las religiones y filosofías que hipnotizan y nos imponen códigos de conducta. Sin duda, será necesaria una nueva economía: deberá dejarse la economía de la acumulación y deberán desaparecer el dinero y el mercantilismo, que tanto sufrimiento han generado; también deberán desaparecer las normas que nos rigen, pues seguramente con menos leyes o tal vez sin leyes, todo mejorará. En la parte final del libro se habla de cómo la humanidad todavía tendrá que enfrentarse a grandes sufrimientos, probablemente a guerras y cataclismos que le permitirán conseguir ese nivel de consciencia diferente y se tiene una visión de cómo será la sociedad del futuro: como vivirán los humanos de esa época indeterminada, que será como un regreso al paraíso. En esa nueva sociedad ya no existirá el trabajo, como medio de subsistencia, ni el dinero; ya nadie acumulará ni vivirá obsesionado por tener más. El crédito y la mayor parte de las profesiones existentes en ésta época ya no tendrán razón de ser. Se tiene una visión clara de la forma de sus comunidades, y sobre la educación en ese tiempo futuro donde cada ser encontrará su propósito y su misión de vida. El autor se presenta bajo el seudónimo de "El Hombre" por considerar que el libro contiene sabiduría que es propiedad de toda la humanidad y porque cree que la transformación de nuestras sociedades depende de el nivel de conciencia que cada ser humano logre en lo individual.

Book White Light

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ronald J. Friis
  • Publisher : Rutgers University Press
  • Release : 2021-11-12
  • ISBN : 1684483476
  • Pages : 211 pages

Download or read book White Light written by Ronald J. Friis and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White Light: The Poetry of Alberto Blanco examines the interplay of complementary images and concepts in the award-winning Mexican writer's cycle of poems from 1979 to 2018. Blanco’s poetic trilogy A la luz de siempre is characterized by its broad range of form and subject and by the poet's own eclectic background as a chemist, maker of collages, and musician. Blanco speaks the language of the visual arts, science, mathematics, music, and philosophy, and creates work with deep interdisciplinary roots. This book explores how polarities such as space and place, reading and writing, sound and silence, visual and verbal representation, and faith and doubt are woven through A la luz de siempre. These complements reveal how Blanco’s poetry, like the phenomenon of white light, embraces paradox and transforms into something more than the sum of its disparate and polychromatic parts.

  • Release : 2006
  • ISBN : 9780820476186
  • Pages : 168 pages

Download or read book Defiant Deviance written by Cristina Santos and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study embarks, from a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, on redefining the «supernatural» as elements that fail to be framed as «natural» by their socio-cultural environment. The «supernatural» elements depicted in this study encompass such monstrous representations as witches, vampires, angels, virgins, apparitions, and other universally recognized reflections of human existence - though not all «supernatural» representations are seen as «monstrous, » but as physical and psychological embodiments of common human experience. Contributors to this project represent a wide scope of literary genres and eras, as well as differing theoretical approaches, united by the common goal of defining the «irreality of reality.»
