Book excerpt: After twelve years in Spain, Jason Webster had developed a deep love for his adopted homeland; his life there seemed complete. But when he and his Spanish wife moved into an idyllic old farmhouse in the mountains north of Valencia, by chance he found an unmarked mass grave from the Spanish Civil War on his doorstep.Spurred to investigate the history of the Civil War, a topic many of his Spanish friends still seemed to treat as taboo, he began to uncover a darker side to the country. Witness to a brutal fist-fight sponsored by remnants of Franco's Falangists, arrested and threatened by the police in the former HQ of the Spanish Foreign Legion, sheltered by a beautiful transvestite, shunned by locals, haunted by ghosts and finally robbed of his identity, Webster encountered a legacy of cruelty and violence that seems to linger on seventy years after the bloody events of that war. As in Webster's previous books, Duende and Andalus, ¡Guerra! reveals the essence of modern Spain, which few outsiders ever manage to see. Fascinating true stories from the Civil War, vividly retold as he travels around the country. Yet the more Webster unveils of the passions that set one countryman against another, the more he is led to wonder: could the dark, primitive currents that ripped the country apartin the 1930s still be stirring under the sophisticated, worldly surface of today's Spain?

Download or read book The Myth of Jos Mart written by Lillian Guerra and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-03-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on a period of history rocked by four armed movements, Lillian Guerra traces the origins of Cubans' struggles to determine the meaning of their identity and the character of the state, from Cuba's last war of independence in 1895 to the consolidation of U.S. neocolonial hegemony in 1921. Guerra argues that political violence and competing interpretations of the "social unity" proposed by Cuba's revolutionary patriot, Jose Marti, reveal conflicting visions of the nation--visions that differ in their ideological radicalism and in how they cast Cuba's relationship with the United States. As Guerra explains, some nationalists supported incorporating foreign investment and values, while others sought social change through the application of an authoritarian model of electoral politics; still others sought a democratic government with social and economic justice. But for all factions, the image of Marti became the principal means by which Cubans attacked, policed, and discredited one another to preserve their own vision over others'. Guerra's examination demonstrates how competing historical memories and battles for control of a weak state explain why polarity, rather than consensus on the idea of the "nation" and the character of the Cuban state, came to define Cuban politics throughout the twentieth century.

A través de la narración alternada de sus historias, conocemos a sus protagonistas: Harry, es inteligente y tiene buen corazón. Su familia inglesa forma parte de la alta burguesía, militar y conservadora, pero está abrumada por los enormes cambios sociales que ocurrieron en el período de entreguerras.

Marina es guapa, lista y tiene el fi rme propósito de triunfar en la vida. Al principio, su familia le proporciona las circunstancias ideales para lograr este resultado: sus familiares son gente con iniciativa y ganas de trabajar para hacerse una vida mejor. Mientras se fragua la guerra huyen de Italia y abren la famosa heladería de la calle Ancha. La obsesión con la heladería provoca una desavenencia que casi destruye a la familia. Cuando conoce a Harry, Marina fi nalmente puede imaginarse otra manera de vivir. A pesar de las tensiones culturales y familiares, Harry se escapa de los constreñimientos de su clase social, y se empieza a conocer a sí mismo. Marina aprende que ella tiene que ser egoísta si quiere lograr su propia felicidad. Desde la contenida acuarela de la vida burguesa en Inglaterra, al óleo de colorido chillón de Cádiz, Amor, guerra y helado nos cuenta la historia de dos familias que luchan para sobrevivir en el nuevo orden mundial. Depende de Harry y de Marina demostrarles a sus padres que la vida as para vivirla.

Book excerpt: This incisive and elegantly written examination of Chicano antiwar mobilization demonstrates how the pivotal experience of activism during the Viet Nam War era played itself out among Mexican Americans. ¡Raza Sí! ¡Guerra No! presents an engaging portrait of Chicano protest and patriotism.
