Book excerpt: La segunda guerra mundial estalla en Europa en 1939, pero eso sólo formaba parte de un proceso aún mayor que se venía gestando incluso desde que el primer hombre pisó la Tierra. Nuestro mundo fue un escenario más de la eterna batalla universal entre el bien y el mal, cuyas armas más poderosas no eran los misiles ni las balas, sino la magia blanca y la magia negra. ¿Qué motivaba realmente a Hitler? ¿Es cierto que un chileno estuvo a punto de cambiar el destino de la guerra? ¿Qué papel desempeñó la España de Franco? ¿Logró Hitler construir la fabulosa arma secreta que se proponía? ¿Quién ganó realmente la guerra? ¿Qué papel jugaron las predicciones del fin del mundo en todo esto? Estos y otros misterios pretenden ser develados por el autor a través de un paseo histórico, siguiendo los pasos de una extraña estirpe, desde la época previa al diluvio universal hasta nuestros días.
Download or read book Sol White s History of Colored Base Ball with Other Documents on the Early Black Game 1886 1936 written by Sol White and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1996-08-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America and baseball are rediscovering the game played by African Americans before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947. We now know a great deal about the Negro Leagues of 1920 on, and their great stars-Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and their contemporaries. But what of the pre-1920 black game? From the onset in the 1880s of the "gentleman's agreement" that barred blacks from playing in white leagues, that game is nearly invisible. Financially shaky, with sporadic media coverage even in black newspapers and completely overlooked by the mainstream, Negro teams of this era played on for love of the game and in hopes that their skills would receive their due. In 1907, Sol White, a remarkable African-American ballplayer, successful manager, and baseball loyalist, wrote a small volume on the history of the black game. Part fund-raising effort, advertising brochure, team hype, celebration of black baseball, and throughout an implicit and explicit challenge to racism, Sol White's History of Colored Base Ball is the source of much of what we know of the events in the organized black game of that time. The original was poorly printed, and copies are exceedingly rare (known and rumored copies number only four). This edition republishes the full 1907 edition (with the even rarer supplement), completely reset for legibility, and reproduces all the original's illustrations, including the advertisements that speak volumes on the social world of the day. Fifteen additional documents from 1886 to 1936 augment the picture of the black game and our record of Sol White himself. The work is introduced by Jerry Malloy, a recognized expert on the history of Negro leagues who has spent years inpainstaking research into this vanished world.
Download or read book Amexica written by Ed Vulliamy and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amexica is the harrowing story of the extraordinary terror unfolding along the U.S.-Mexico border—"a country in its own right, which belongs to both the United States and Mexico, yet neither"—as the narco-war escalates to a fever pitch there. In 2009, after reporting from the border for many years, Ed Vulliamy traveled the frontier from the Pacific coast to the Gulf of Mexico, from Tijuana to Matamoros, a journey through a kaleidoscopic landscape of corruption and all-out civil war, but also of beauty and joy and resilience. He describes in revelatory detail how the narco gangs work; the smuggling of people, weapons, and drugs back and forth across the border; middle-class flight from Mexico and an American celebrity culture that is feeding the violence; the interrelated economies of drugs and the maquiladora factories; the ruthless, systematic murder of young women in Ciudad Juarez. Heroes, villains, and victims—the brave and rogue police, priests, women, and journalists fighting the violence; the gangs and their freelance killers; the dead and the devastated—all come to life in this singular book. Amexica takes us far beyond today's headlines. It is a street-level portrait, by turns horrific and sublime, of a place and people in a time of war as much as of the war itself.
Download or read book El Inmortal written by Sebastián Salado and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es básicamente una novela de aventuras que narra una historia de amor imposible ambientada en el antiguo Egipto desde la perspectiva que contempla el mundo de los primeros dioses Annunaki en la mitología egipcia, los Annu-na-Ki, "aquellos que vinieron de Annu (Nibiru) a Ki (La Tierra)". Ésta es una historia plena de actualidad entroncada en las leyendas milenaristas de la apocalíptica nueva visita del planeta Nibiru (Ajenjo) a nuestro sistema solar según las controvertidas profecías Mayas y Cristiano judías. La narrativa se integra con airoso equilibrio entre la mitología y la fantasía combinando los datos históricos que obtenemos de los documentos arcanos que se han podido conservar hasta nuestros días, cómo es el caso de la Aigyptíaka de Manetón. Los términos empleados en esta novela, al igual que los nombres, localizaciones, conjuros, rituales, etc. han sido sacados de la relación de libros más antiguos conservados como: El Libro de los Muertos (Peri Em Heru), El Libro de las Puertas (Am-Tuat), El Libro de Enoc, El Papiro de Ani, El Papiro de Hunefer, La Biblia, La Epopeya de Erra y La Epopeya de Gilgamesh. No falta en la novela el misterio y el esoterismo arcano inspirados en obras maestras inmortales como: El "Corpus Hermeticum" o La Tabla Esmeralda de Hermes Trimegisto. Estos libros se han conservado con mayor o menor integridad en sus traducciones y versiones. Sin embargo, a pesar de todo, aún continúan mostrando el sabor de la magia antigua que llega hasta nuestros días con un halo de insondable misterio.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El verano de 2013 ha sido testigo del avance inquietante de los herederos del Nazismo en Europa, especialmente en Grecia, donde finalmente las autoridades del Estado se han decidido a actuar antes de llegar a un escenario cercano a la guerra civil, y en España, donde tras una violenta puesta en escena contra el nacionalismo Catalan, precedido por una vergonzosa y diaria exhibición de simbología Fascista y Nazi por todo el país, con muchos de sus implicados ligados presuntamente al Partido gobernante, o a sus juventudes. Incidentes que a fecha de hoy no han supuesto tramites de expulsión, y se calificaron de "chiquilladas". En este libro se aborda el proceso que les llevo al poder, desde un germen abonado con el racismo, y una religión pagana basada en los mitos nórdicos, el apoyo de los sectores industriales y militares Alemanes, pasando por su intención de extenderse a USA mediante un golpe de estado.

Download or read book Faulkner s People written by Robert W. Kirk and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faulkner's People is an essential reference for the student and general reader of Faulkner who seeks guidance in identifying and interrelating the more than 1,200 characters in Faulkner’s novels, short stories, and sketches. The book will help even experienced readers make their way through the labyrinth of Faulkner’s style and plots and distinguish the interconnections between all of Faulkner’s writings. The guide is constructed as follows: The novels from Soldiers’ Pay (1926) to The Reivers (1962) are listed by title in the order of their publication. Under each title, all of the named characters who appear or are mentioned in the work are listed alphabetically, together with the number of every page on which the character’s name occurs. A concise account of the actions of each character is given, together with a description of that character’s salient personality features. The name under which a character is listed in the guide is often supplied in brackets when a nickname, maiden name, or other variant is used in the sketches. Major characters in each novel are indicated by boldface type. Immediately following the section devoted to the novels appear the named characters in all of Faulkner’s short stories and sketches, which are also treated in the order of their publication. Carryover characters who are handled inconsistently by Faulkner are marked with an asterisk and treated further by the authors in the appendix. The authors have also included genealogical charts of the Sartoris, Burden, and McCaslin-Beauchamp-Edmonds families, as well as a map of Yoknapatawpha County. Finally, an alphabetically arranged master index of characters lists every work in which their names occur. Specific bibliographical information concerning editions is given, together with other editions, American and British, with the same pagination. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1963.

Download or read book Human Rights in Colombian Literature and Cultural Production written by Carlos Gardeazábal Bravo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores how Colombian novelists, artists, performers, activists, musicians, and others seek to enact—to perform, to stage, to represent—human rights situations that are otherwise enacted discursively, that is, made public or official, in juridical and political realms in which justice often remains an illusory or promised future. In order to probe how cultural production embodies the tensions between the abstract universality of human rights and the materiality of violations on individual human bodies and on determined groups, the volume asks the following questions: How does the transmission of historical traumas of Colombia’s past, through human rights narratives in various forms, inform the debates around the subjects of rights, truth and memory, remembrance and forgetting, and the construction of citizenship through solidarity and collective struggles for justice? What are the different roles taken by cultural products in the interstices among rights, laws, and social justice within different contexts of state violence and states of exception? What are alternative perspectives, sources, and (micro)histories from Colombia of the creation, evolution, and practice of human rights? How does the human rights discourse interface with notions of environmental justice, especially in the face of global climate change, regional (neo)extractivism, the implementation of megaprojects, and ongoing post-accord thefts and (re)appropriations of land? Through a wide range of disciplinary lenses, the different chapters explore counter-hegemonic concepts of human rights, decolonial options struggling against oppression and market logic, and alternative discourses of human dignity and emancipation within the pluriverse.

Download or read book Palabra de mediod a Noon Words written by Lucha Corpi and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2001-03-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palabras de mediodia/Noon Words is Lucha CorpiÍs pioneering collection of poems that established her as a major figure in Mexican American literature. Written in Spanish and expertly translated by Catherine Rodriguez-Nieto, the poems fairly bloom off the page in a display of lyric virtuosity. Corpi is the first of the Mexican American poets to explore through deeply personal and intimate feelings potentially explosive political topics, transculturation, the role of women, her commitment to social change, and the grand themes of love and death. Highly sophisticated, enchanting, and well steeped in the literary tradition of Juana de Ibarbourou, Federico Garcia Lorca and Pablo Neruda, CorpiÍs poetry successfully portrays the magic of her childhood in tropical Veracruz, her move to the city and the challenges of modern life in San Luis Potosi and the San Francisco Bay Area. Particularly moving is CorpiÍs struggle to bridge the chasm between the obligations of family life and single parenthood and the career opportunities of the outside world.
