Download or read book Hombrecito written by Santiago Jose Sanchez and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel by a brilliant new voice, Hombrecito is a queer coming-of-age story about a young immigrant’s complex relationships with his mother and his motherland In this groundbreaking novel, Santiago Jose Sanchez plunges us into the heart of one boy’s life. His mother takes him and his brother from Colombia to America, leaving their absent father behind but essentially disappearing herself once they get to Miami. In America, his mother works as a waitress when she was once a doctor. The boy embraces his queer identity as wholeheartedly as he embraces his new home, but not without a sense of loss. As he grows, his relationship with his mother becomes fraught, tangled, a love so intense that it borders on vivid pain but is also the axis around which his every decision revolves. She may have once forgotten him, disappeared, but she is always on his mind. He moves to New York, ducking in and out of bed with different men as he seeks out something, someone, to make him whole again. When his mother invites him to visit family in Colombia with her, he returns to the country as a young man, trying to find peace with his father, with his homeland, with who he’s become since he left, and with who his mother is: finally we come to know her and her secrets, her complex ambivalence and fierce love. Hombrecito—“little man”—is a moving portrait of a young person between cultures, between different ideas of himself. From an extraordinary new talent, this is a story told with startling beauty and intensity, a story for anyone searching for home, searching for a way to love.

Download or read book Andean Journeys written by Ronald Haladyna and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andean Journeys: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Bolivian Poetry is the fourth in a series of books that aspire to address a dearth of information in the English-speaking world about South American poetry of the past thirty years. The fourteen outstanding poets included here represent a diversity of themes, styles, and perspectives in one of South America's more marginalized nations. All of them have published extensively, have been recognized through literary awards and inclusion in national and international anthologies, and continue writing and publishing today. For readers unfamiliar with Bolivia, the introduction provides a brief background of its geography, history, politics, economy, and society. This is followed by an ample selection of representative poems published previously in Spanish, with translations in English on facing pages. The book concludes with a brief biographical sketch of each poet and an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources for readers wishing to pursue further reading or research. Contemporary Uruguayan Poetry: A Bilingual Anthology; Exotic Territory: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Paraguayan Poetry; and Volcanic Reflections: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Ecuadorian Poetry are companion volumes that offer similar exposure to poetry that deserves to be better known in the English-speaking world.

Book excerpt: In a land ravaged by war and vengeance, Yellow Boy, the last warrior of the Mescalaro stands tall, fighting for the soul of his people. As the nineteenth century gives way to the twentieth, the borderlands of New Mexico, Arizona, Chihuahua, and Sonora are aflame with conflict and chaos. A simmering range war between powerful cattle barons and struggling ranchers in the Tularosa Basin country erupts into violence, culminating in the brutal murder and mysterious disappearance of the esteemed Albert Fountain and his young son, Henry. As revolution ignites in Mexico and trench warfare rages across Europe, the last remnants of the Apache continue to roam wild and free in the Sierra Madre, defying the forces that seek to crush them. Amidst this turmoil, the Mescalero Apache warrior, Yellow Boy, emerges as a beacon of resistance. Armed with his rifle and unyielding spirit, Yellow Boy fights to preserve his people's way of life. He confronts an autocratic Indian agent determined to erase Mescalero culture, battles a malevolent witch bent on blood-soaked vengeance, and metes out justice to those who dare commit heinous crimes against the innocent. The Last Warrior, final installment of The Life and Times of Yellow Boy, Mescalero Apache, is a story of a people fighting for their survival against relentless oppression. Weaving together truth and fiction, W. Michael Farmer paints a devastating picture of a time when cultures clashed and the old ways of the Apache teetered on the brink of extinction. Join Yellow Boy, the last warrior of the Mescalero, as he stands tall against the tides of history, ensuring that his people’s legacy endures.
