Download or read book Jesse s Bullet Train Mexicali s Yellow Days written by Jesus (Jesse) L. Dominguez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the amazing story of a US citizen who had to go to Mexico at age four (in the spring of 1958) due to family deportation from the USA and had to tough out extreme poverty; imagine being a partially blind child and having to attend grammar school in Mexico with no special help. He describes how he worked as a child selling vegetables; then, at age thirteen, his father dies, and he had to drop out of school to help the family survive. Together with his two younger brothers, he went to sell chocolate candy and gum in the streets of downtown Mexicali (a border town in the hot desert of Northwest Mexico (Baja California) until he had a chance to go to work in the USA, where he returned as a teenager in 1968, and went to work in farm labor to help his family in Mexico survive. He had to circumvent US child labor laws. Consequently, he had to face culture shock straight on. The Vietnam War was at its worst for US troops. The reappearance of racial conflicts in the USA was bad; black power, chicano power, and white power were common terms; the hippie movement was booming, and Martin L. Kings and Robert Kennedys assassination had just happened. The drug culture in the USA was thriving; antiwar demonstrations and riots were a common occurrence; Richard Nixon was coming into power; and the Apollo moon project was making headlines. In this narrative, he shares coping techniques for dealing with stress, hopelessness, and adversity. He suggests that, by connecting with people, he achieved personal success and shares his experiences in seeking mentors, joining events, meeting change agents (community workers, social workers, teachers, and counselors)and joining social movements. Jesse joined student organizations and the independent living movement and learned how to create opportunities that helped him rise from extreme poverty in a Northwest city of Mexico (Mexicali) to being a middle-class citizen in the USA (California) simply by following his mentors leads, by accepting peoples help, and by facing adversity straight on. This is a US citizen who brought back Mexican cultural values and applied them in his work as a vocational rehabilitation counselor in the USA. A very effective counselor, his mission in life is to help others in similar circumstances to succeed, to help family persevere, to say no to drugs or other bad influences, and to encourage others to carry on until the end of the fast train trip. Thats his philosophy of life. Here he shares a few examples of his counseling work, in hopes that these experiences and advice will help more people in similar circumstances to become achievers, not social welfaredependent individuals.

Download or read book Juvenopedia written by Carles Feixa and published by NED Ediciones. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente libro pretende mapear el planeta de las juventudes iberoamericanas, a modo de pequeña enciclopedia capaz de condensar los pequeños saberes y grandes interrogantes sobre las identidades juveniles actuales, ya sean ocultas, sumergidas, emergentes y visibles, es decir, como una Juvenopedia en construcción. Responde a un trabajo de investigación individual de naturaleza interdisciplinaria, pero parte de un esfuerzo colectivo de distintos investigadores iberoamericanos de las últimas generaciones, que de alguna manera han tenido relación como colegas, discípulos o colaboradores de Carles Feixa y Patricia Oliart (coordinadores). Tras una introducción en la que los coordinadores establecen un marco general sobre los estudios de las juventudes iberoamericanas, el libro se articula en capítulos que responden a intereses teóricos y marcos disciplinarios distintos, aunque todos comparten la misma estructura: una primera sección en base a marcos teóricos y conceptuales, una segunda a partir de esbozos etnográficos, y una tercera en base a un caso de estudio como ilustración de las teorías. En ellos se retratan una diversidad de jóvenes contemporáneos en América Latina y la Península Ibérica: jóvenes indígenas, trendsetters, rurales, urbanos, estudiantes, trabajador@s, en masculino, en femenino, digitales, deportistas, ciudadan@s, transnacionales, altermundialistas e indignad@s.

Download or read book Contemporary U S Latinx Literature in Spanish written by Amrita Das and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Latinx Literature in Spanish remains an understudied field despite its large and vibrant corpus. This is partly due to the erroneous impression that this literature is only written in English, and partly due to traditional educational programs focusing on English texts to include non-Spanish speakers and non-Latinx students. This has created a vacuum in research about Latinx literary production in Spanish, leaving the contemporary field wide open for exploration. This volume fills this space by bringing contemporary U.S. Latinx literature in Spanish to the forefront of the field. The essays focus on literary production post-1960 and examine texts by authors from different backgrounds writing from the U.S., providing readers with an opportunity to explore new texts in Spanish within U.S. Latinx literature, and a departure point for starting a meaningful critical discourse about what it means to write and publish in Spanish in the U.S. Through exploring literary production in a language that is both emotionally and politically charged for authors, the academia, and the U.S., this book challenges and enhances our understanding of the term ‘Americas’.

Book excerpt: Yunuen es un pequeño que es adoptado por Uyama y Pedro quienes se convierten en sus tutores responsables esto debido a un lejano pariente que fallece en el pueblo vecino a ellos. Uyama en el trayecto de recoger al niño debe regresar por la selva y montes que separan a los dos pequeños pueblos, pero en la trayectoria de regreso, conoce a un duende maldito cuya responsabilidad es custodiar la entrada a las puertas del inframundo y a un joven de raíces mayas con dones sobrenaturales, quienes tienen un pequeño enfrentamiento del cual Uyama y el pequeño salen ilesos gracias a que llegan Pedro y algunos amigos, pero en ese pequeño lapso el joven maya le solicita que cuando haya pasado un determinado tiempo Uyama deberá entregarle al pequeño. Lo llaman Yunuen y vive un tiempo con ellos aprendiendo aceleradamente, pero al ver que ya no le podían enseñar mas, sin más Uyama muy a su pesar va a donde se encuentra el joven maya y le entrega a Yunuen; en donde el niño sin negarse se va con el y se maravilla del bosque mágico en el que ahora se encuentra y conforme va creciendo y aprendiendo en un mundo mágico de duendes, hadas y seres mágicos que se convierten en sus amigos y donde el joven maya se convierte en su maestro y mentor quien ayudados por otros maestros le enseñan a defenderse, desarrollar y controlar sus dones sobrenaturales. Más adelante en un descuido el Maestro mentor es atacado por el ente maldito, quién a su vez a estado asediando a los pueblerinos y acechando al pueblo con la intención ya marcada de apoderarse de ese prospero y pequeño lugar a lo que Yunuen tiene dos trabajos uno salvar al pueblo y el segundo es que sin saber que esta situación será el medio para salvar a su maestro mentor de sus maléficas garras, pero para ello él se tendrá que enfrentar al ente maldito y a sus soldados que andan con él.
Download or read book IntraLatino Language and Identity written by Kim Potowski and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing diversity of the U.S. Latino population has given rise to a growing population of “mixed” Latinos. This is a study of such individuals raised in Chicago, Illinois who have one Mexican parent and one Puerto Rican parent, most of whom call themselves “MexiRicans.” Given that these two varieties of Spanish exhibit highly salient differences, these speakers can be said to experience intrafamilial dialect contact. The book first explores the lexicon, discourse marker use, and phonological features among two generations of over 70 MexiRican speakers, finding several connections to parental dialect, neighborhood demographics, and family dynamics. Drawing from critical mixed race theory, it then examines MexiRicans’ narratives about their ethnic identity, including the role of Spanish features in the ways in which they are accepted or challenged by monoethnic, monodialectal Mexicans and Puerto Ricans both in Chicago and abroad. These findings contribute to our understandings of dialect contact, U.S. Spanish, and the role of language in ethnic identity.
