Download or read book Maria Estela written by Dominique Ravelo-Napoli and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro se basa mayormente en la vida de mi madre. Les relato en palabras sencillas parte de su niñez, su vida con mi padre; cuando se mudó a Puerto Rico con sus hijas; y cómo murió. Aunque comienzo con una parte que es ficción, en “Morelia”, luego paso a la realidad de “María Estela”, donde encontrarás un conglomerado de amor, tristezas y muchas alegrías en la vida de mi madre y nosotras cuando pequeñas. Mi madre es de nacionalidad dominicana, igualmente mi padre. Nacimos en una hermosa isla llamada la Hispaniola, donde nuestro bello país, La República Dominicana, ocupa la tercera parte. De importancia es la realidad de la vida de mi madre; cuando se mudó a la vecina isla de Puerto Rico; donde llegó sola con tres niñas en los brazos y comenzó una vida nueva, con muy pocos ahorros. María Estela siempre sintió mucho agradecimiento por la hospitalidad que recibió de los puertorriqueños. Mami no sabía que yo estaba escribiendo un libro sobre ella. Sin embargo, poco a poco fui recopilando datos mientras la visitaba. Ella me contaba muchas cosas sobre su niñez y su vida. También obtuve mucha información sobre ella, durante conversaciones que mantuve con familiares en Santo Domingo y en los Estados Unidos. En el relato ficticio que comencé a escribir con el nombre de “Morelia”; identifiqué a mami con ese nombre; ya que a ella le gustaba todo lo que era mexicano. Además, “Morelia” es una ciudad en México muy preciosa y auténtica; de mucha historia y colorido, así como fue la vida de mamá. Cuando le dije la verdad; de que escribía sobre su vida pero en una vida “inventada” en Morelia, ella solo se sonrió y me dijo: “¡Mira muchacha, qué mucho tú inventa!”. Le dije: “Mamá es que comencé a imaginarme cosas y te cambié la vida. Todavía no he terminado, ya verás que volveré a tu realidad en el Capítulo de María Estela. Ahí relataré muchas de las cosas que me has dicho y de nuestra vida en Puerto Rico”. Ella seguía escuchándome muy pensativa y con un gran suspiro me dijo: “María Estela, ahora sí que tu historia parece realidad”. Mi madre fue una mujer ejemplar en su propia sencillez. Ella no completó sus estudios, pues comenzó a trabajar a temprana edad. Ella, con mucho esfuerzo y limitaciones, nunca dejó de proveer para sus tres hijas. Con el tiempo, sus fuerzas menguaron, pero su amor, ¡nunca! De este sentimiento surge la inspiración de muchos de mis poemas. También encontrarás algunas estrofas de un poema de mi hermana Tina; quien también es escritora. Incluyo una cronología de eventos importantes de la vida de mamá, parte de su genealogía, y documentos, cartas y fotos importantes sobre ella. Yo no esperaba publicar un libro; solo quería plasmar la vida de mi madre y cómo ella nos crio en Puerto Rico como un recuerdo de amor para mis familiares inmediatos. Escribí con las mejores intenciones de relatar las cosas como transcurrieron. Sin embargo, necesité mi mente creativa para completar algunos detalles; ya que no recuerdo todo como pasó, pero les aseguro que sí vivimos todas esas experiencias ¡y mucho más! Este relato es en memoria a María Estela y como agradecimiento a Puerto Rico, la vecina isla donde mami hizo muchos de sus sueños realidad y donde crecimos rodeadas de mucho cariño, palmeras, sol, arena y mar. Para mí y mis hermanas, la vida de mamá fue siempre un tapiz abierto y de muchas tonalidades. Mamá fue como una manta fuerte que nos cubría de amor y siempre nos protegía. Es un honor para nosotras compartir “María Estela y Sus Tres Hijas” con todos ustedes. Si tienes en tus manos una copia de este libro; espero que sientas el amor incondicional que solo una madre puede ofrecer, y que seas bendecido(a). ¡Gracias por tu interés!

La pusieron en una casa de adopción y ella fue adoptada en dos ocasiones. Terminando criándose en una institución de niños huérfanos y abandonados. Ella fue violada por el cocinero de la institución cuando ella tenía catorce años. Ella luego tuvo un niño de esa violación y el cocinero al ser descubierto, se ahorcó. Ella murió en el hospital de complicaciones de su anterior embarazo. Entonces, el niño, al nacer vino siendo la tercera generación. La directora de esa institución odiaba tanto a Martha como a su hijo. Pero la directora, cuando Martha murió, el diagnostico que le dieron de su muerte no le agradó. La directora puso al abogado de la institución para que se encargara del caso. Y el abogado rápido actuó, encontrando la verdadera razón y demandando al hospital por una fuerte suma de dinero. Luego la directora, quien era egoísta y ambiciosa, creía que iba a disfrutar de ese dinero. Pero el señor juez puso el dinero en una cuenta del banco para cuando el niño sea mayor de edad. El niño se escapó de la institución a la edad de doce años. Y si ustedes quieren saber todas las demás escenas existentes que ocurrieron en el transcurso del libro tendrán que leer el libro.

Book excerpt: Latinas in the United States: A Historical Encyclopedia records the contribution of women of Latin American birth or heritage to the economic and cultural development of the United States. The encyclopedia, edited by Vicki L. Ruiz and Virginia Sánchez-Korrol, is the first comprehensive gathering of scholarship on Latinas. This encyclopedia will serve as an essential reference for decades to come. In more than 580 entries, the historical and cultural narratives of Latinas come to life. From mestizo settlement, pioneer life, and diasporic communities, the encyclopedia details the contributions of women as settlers, comadres, and landowners, as organizers and nuns. More than 200 scholars explore the experiences of Latinas during and after EuroAmerican colonization and conquest; the early-19th-century migration of Puerto Ricans and Cubans; 20th-century issues of migration, cultural tradition, labor, gender roles, community organization, and politics; and much more. Individual biographical entries profile women who have left their mark on the historical and cultural landscape. With more than 300 photographs, Latinas in the United States offers a mosaic of historical experiences, detailing how Latinas have shaped their own lives, cultures, and communities through mutual assistance and collective action, while confronting the pressures of colonialism, racism, discrimination, sexism, and poverty. "Meant for scholars and general readers, this is a great resource on Latinas and historical topics connected with them." -- curledup.com

Download or read book Trini written by Estella Portillo Trambley and published by Feminist Press at CUNY. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sole novel of beloved Chicana author Estela Portillo Trambley, Trini is the epic story of one girl's journey across borders and into womanhood. Born in the rural region of the Tarahumara (Raramuri) people in Mexico, Trini shares her family's struggle to squeeze a living out of her beautiful but inhospitable land. But she is sustained by the rich traditions of her Mestiza heritage, the adopted traditions of the Tarahumara, and by her own intelligence and spirit. As a young woman, she crosses into the United States to pursue her dreams of independence and land ownership. Trini is a novel distinguished by the richness and beauty of its language and by its rare depiction of life in the Borderlands in the 1940s and 1950s. Most remarkable of all is its portrait of a sensitive and courageous young Chicana woman, whose quiet heroism resonates from every page. Here restored to print with a new foreword, this early novel of the Mexican American experience is bound to take its rightful place among contemporary classics of multicultural American literature.

Contributors include Richard Blanco, Tina Chang, Joseph Lagaspi, Li-Young Lee, Timothy Liu, Naomi Shihab Nye, Oliver de la Paz, Ira Sukrungruang, Ocean Vuong, and many other talented writers from throughout the United States. Winner of a Bronze Medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards for Multicultural Nonfiction “When you hold in your DNA two countries—the cultures, the languages, the delicious foods and stories—you embody richness. These writers know on the cellular level many-layered ways to live, to struggle, to love. Here are voices we need to hear, writers we need to read. This is a brilliant, timely book, an antidote to divisiveness.” —Peggy Shumaker, former Alaska State Writer Laureate “The poets and writers in Two-Countries show that one result of our ongoing national experiment is a rich deepening in our literature. We may be in perilous times as a country, but our writers have never been in more ferocious health.” —Rick Barot, author of The Galleons
