Download or read book Apple Pie and Enchiladas written by Ann V. Millard and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sudden influx of significant numbers of Latinos to the rural Midwest stems from the recruitment of workers by food processing plants and small factories springing up in rural areas. Mostly they work at back-breaking jobs that local residents are not willing to take because of the low wages and few benefits. The region has become the scene of dramatic change involving major issues facing our country—the intertwining of ethnic differences, prejudice, and poverty; the social impact of a low-wage workforce resulting from corporate transformations; and public policy questions dealing with economic development, taxation, and welfare payments. In this thorough multidisciplinary study, the authors explore both sides of this ethnic divide and provide the first volume to focus comprehensively on Latinos in the region by linking demographic and qualitative analysis to describe what brings Latinos to the area and how they are being accommodated in their new communities. The fact is that many Midwestern communities would be losing population and facing a dearth of workers if not for Latino newcomers. This finding adds another layer of social and economic complexity to the region's changing place in the global economy. The authors look at how Latinos fit into an already fractured social landscape with tensions among townspeople, farmers, and others. The authors also reveal the optimism that lies in the opposition of many Anglos to ethnic prejudice and racism.
Download or read book Alton s Paradox written by Nicolas Poppe and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alton's Paradox builds upon extensive archival and primary research, but uses a single text as its point of departure—a 1934 article by the Hungarian American cinematographer John Alton in the Hollywood-published International Photographer. Writing from Argentina, Alton paradoxically argues of cine nacional, "The possibilities are enormous, but not until foreign technicians will take the matter in their hands and with foreign organization will there be local industry." Nicolas Poppe argues that Alton succinctly articulates a line of thought commonly held across Latin America during the early sound period but little explored by scholars: that foreign labor was pivotal to the rise of national film industries. In tracking this paradox from Hollywood to Mexico to Argentina and beyond, Poppe reconsiders a series of notions inextricably tied to traditional film historiography, including authorship, (dis)continuation, intermediality, labor, National Cinema, and transnationalism. Wide-angled views of national film industries complement close-up analyses of the work of José Mojica, Alex Phillips, Juan Orol, Ángel Mentasti, and Tito Davison.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta es la historia de una gran mentira entre los miembros de una familia de clase media: los Daniels. El rumbo de sus vidas cambia drásticamente a causa de un matrimonio y el nacimiento de un hijo. La dependencia al alcohol de los Daniels, la malsana influencia de los Powell y el fracaso espiritual de un sacerdote, derrumba la frágil estructura que sostiene a nuestros personajes que caen atrapados en una telaraña de intriga entretejida con deslealtad, venganza y lujuria. Abrumados por el devastador resultado de sus propios actos, no comprenden sino hasta muy tarde, que han sido ellos mismos las únicas víctimas, por querer controlar el destino de otros con el único propósito de satisfacer sus malsanas intenciones. Por estar reducidos a vivir en perenne turbiedad no sospechan que la reconciliación y redención interna estuvieron esperando desde un principio y sin sospecharlo detrás del amor.
