Download or read book Family Secrets written by Gloria González-López and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “My breasts stopped growing when my grandfather touched them,” confides ‘Elisa’, a young woman who recounts the traumatic incest and sexual abuse she experienced in childhood. In Family Secrets, Gloria González-López tells the life stories of 60 men and women in Mexico who, like Elisa, saw their lives irrevocably changed in the wake of childhood and adolescent incest. In Mexico, a patriarchal, religious society where women are expected to make themselves sexually available to men and where same-sex experiences for both men and women bring great shame, incest is easily hidden, seldom discussed, and rarely reported to authorities. Through gripping, emotional narrative, González-López brings the deeply troubling, hidden, and unspoken issues of incest and sexual violence in Mexican families to light. González-López contends that family and cultural structures in Mexican life enable incest and the culture of silence that surrounds it. She examines the strong bonds of familial obligation between parents and children, brothers and sisters, and elders and youth that, in the case of incest, can morph into sexual obligation; the codes of honor and shame reinforced by tradition and the Church, discouraging openness about sexual violence and trauma; the double standards of morality and stereotypes about sexuality that leave girls and women and gender nonconforming boys and men especially vulnerable to sexual abuse. Together, these cultural factors create a perfect storm for generations upon generations of unspoken incest, a cycle that takes great courage and strength to heal from and overcome. A riveting account, Family Secrets turns a feminist and sociological lens on a disturbing trend that has gone unnoticed for far too long.

Book excerpt: In Pura vida (Life is good)Spanish is more than vocabulary and grammar, just as Spanish-speaking cultures are more than products and practices. In this learner-centered introductory program, the authors’ commitment to a methodology based on true-to-life experiences brings Spanish to life. Pura vida is the discovery of a Spanish-speaking world through the experiences of real people who share anecdotes and reflections on those experiences. Students relate to these people and make deeper, more meaningful connections between language and culture, and acquire Spanish with an unparalleled sense of personal engagement. In this 12-chapter introductory program, students don’t only learn Spanish for real life, but also from real life. They discover that there is not just one homogeneous Hispanic culture, but rather that each Spanish-speaking country has its own rich, unique culture and that the people who live in these countries speak one common language with different accents, characteristics, and idiosyncrasies. The program offers truly seamless integration of cultural notions and language instruction and features 100% contextualized and personalized activities.

Download or read book El mito de la familia perfecta written by Israel Belo de Azevedo and published by Editora Hagnos. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Casados & Felices el autor compara el matrimonio a una maleta vieja, pesada y sin manija. La gura parece rara y negativa, pero es sugestiva. Cuando nos casamos llevamos para la casa una maleta con nuestro ajuar. En ese ajuar, llevamos no solo ropas y lencería, ropas de mesa y baño, sino también llevamos nuestros hábitos, mañas, cultura, idiosincrasias, vicios y deformidades. Cuando abrimos esas maletas y juntamos las cosas, algunas cosas sobran, y esas cosas incomodan, y mucho. Deberíamos ser más sensibles a nuestro cónyuge y menos apegados a esas reliquias y antigüedades que transportamos en esa maleta vieja y sin manija. En este libro el autor nos muestra que el proyecto de Dios para la familia es que aprendan las verdades esenciales de la vida, especialmente el valor máximo de amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas y al prójimo como a sí mismos a pesar de las diferencias y de no existir familias perfectas.
