Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Después de muchos intentos de concepción, Callie finalmente pudo quedar embarazada. Pero al inicio del embarazo ella tuvo hemorragias. Había peligro de que perdiera al bebe y posiblemente su propia vida. Después de que varios doctores de grandes hospitales le recomendaron interrumpir el embarazo del niño que aun no conocían; ella y su esposo Henry decidieron continuar y encontraron ayuda y confort en el hospital del condado de Los Ángeles. Ellos sabían que si ese bebe no nacía, entonces no habría otro. La pareja había sido advertida por los doctores que naciera o no el bebe, ella debía hacerse una histerectomía permanente para poder detener la hemorragia que atentaba con su vida. Esto terminaría con toda esperanza de tener una maternidad natural para los Wares. El bebe Donald nació, pero desarrolló Polio a una edad muy temprana, aun así pude superar este desafío para convertirme en un bailarín profesional. Fui criado en un vecindario pobre pero cambie esa situación convirtiéndome en un doctor reconocido y agente de cambio. Fui desde mi pobre vecindario hasta New York, Washington, DC, y Cambridge MA; y luego regresar a casa para enfrentarme con la oposición de doctores en un hospital local y en uno de las corporaciones hospitalarias más grandes del mundo. Sobre la marcha, en plena lucha, el Espíritu Santo se me reveló en voz, visiones, señales físicas y maravillas en mi vida. Estos acontecimientos me dieron la victoria sobre la tiranía, para el beneficio de todos nosotros. Esta historia de viada es sobre la victoria sobre todas las adversidades. Dice que Dios vive, y se interesa por las vidas de todos, e intervendrá en nuestras vidas por el bien de todos nosotros.

Download or read book Vibrant Andalusia written by Ana Ruiz and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost a thousand years ago, when most of Europe was just edging out of the Dark Ages, the south of Spain was a brilliant center of world culture, a site of splendor, and a magnet for the talented and ambitious from all around the Mediterranean, the Near East, and beyond. In the days before Isabel and Ferdinand (and the Inquisition), the indigenous culture of Spain was enriched by the artistic, scholarly, technical and commercial contributions of Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Jews and Gypsies. Even under the Catholic Monarchs, these diverse influences continued to add spice to a vibrant society evolving under the generous rays of the sun. Written with verve and personality, this book is based in part on the author's personal research in Spain and France and her interviews with celebrated dancers, musicians and others. Topics include early settlers, the Moors, the grandeur of Al-Andalus, Gypsies, the music and dance of Flamenco and Zambra, the individual provinces of the region, Arabisms in the language today, and, of course, the delicious paella. Sites of historic and cultural interest are identified and described, including the best venues for Flamenco performances, historical monuments from the Alhambra to less famous fortresses, fountains and places of worship, markets and scenic outlooks. The text is illustrated by many photographs and original artwork. * Ana Ruiz has worked as a columnist and freelance writer for several magazines and publications in Canada, United States, and Great Britain. She is the author of several books including The Spirit of Ancient Egypt, Algora Publishing (2001), reprinted as Daily Life in Ancient Egypt by Souvenir Press, London, 2004. Ruiz is also a student of dance, specializing in Oriental and Flamenco styles. While her roots are Andalusian, Basque, and Castilian, she and her family now reside in Montreal, Canada.

Download or read book The Culture of Cursiler a written by Noël Valis and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-16 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not easily translated, the Spanish terms cursi and cursilería refer to a cultural phenomenon widely prevalent in Spanish society since the nineteenth century. Like "kitsch," cursi evokes the idea of bad taste, but it also suggests one who has pretensions of refinement and elegance without possessing them. In The Culture of Cursilería, Noël Valis examines the social meanings of cursi, viewing it as a window into modern Spanish history and particularly into the development of middle-class culture. Valis finds evidence in literature, cultural objects, and popular customs to argue that cursilería has its roots in a sense of cultural inadequacy felt by the lower middle classes in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Spain. The Spain of this era, popularly viewed as the European power most resistant to economic and social modernization, is characterized by Valis as suffering from nostalgia for a bygone, romanticized society that structured itself on strict class delineations. With the development of an economic middle class during the latter half of the nineteenth century, these designations began to break down, and individuals across all levels of the middle class exaggerated their own social status in an attempt to protect their cultural capital. While the resulting manifestations of cursilería were often provincial, indeed backward, the concept was—and still is—closely associated with a sense of home. Ultimately, Valis shows how cursilería embodied the disparity between old ways and new, and how in its awkward manners, airs of pretension, and graceless anxieties it represents Spain's uneasy surrender to the forces of modernity. The Culture of Cursilería will interest students and scholars of Latin America, cultural studies, Spanish literature, and modernity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tradicionalmente propicia a la historia política, la diplomacia de la Monarquía ha suscitado en los últimos años un fecundo interés por parte de los historiadores del arte y de la sociedad de corte. Los agentes de la política exterior (gobernantes y virreyes, embajadores y cardenales) actuaron no sólo como intermediarios de los intereses artísticos de los reyes de España, sino también como protagonistas de un intenso coleccionismo personal que emulaba el modelo real. Los estudios sobre le arte y diplomacia vienen a demostrar que, junto a los creaodres de las obras, desempeñaron también un papel determinante los aficionados que las encargaron, coleccionaropn, vendieron e intercambiaron: desde su posición de riqueza y poder, se erigieron en directores del gusto y de las modas en el terreno artístico, y su intervención fue capital para la difusión o la cotización de determinadas escuelas y artistas

Book excerpt: Yucatán, 1847. La incipiente república mejicana está ocupada por tropas de la Unión Americana. Se inicia una ominosa guerra, la que pronto sería llamada "Guerra de castas". Tizimín, situado en las últimas fronteras de la civilización, una década atrás había padecido de asonadas de militares que pretendían separar a la península de Méjico. Desde 1812 la Nueva España habían derogado de facto las leyes de las Cortes de Cádiz, que otorgaban a los indígenas los mismos privilegios que gozaban los españoles. Los nuevos amos son ahora los criollos: hacendados, empresarios, militares, clérigos, y una pequeña burguesía, oprimieron los mayas y restauraron el feudalismo en la región. El levantamiento indígena resultante sería el más cruento que recuerde la historia del Continente. En aquel ambiente, un mozalbete de ambigua procedencia y trastornada personalidad, se involucra activamente en la contienda. La gente blanca del pueblo huye en urgida caravana hacia Mérida, ciudad blanca. En el trayecto, nuestro amigo va descubriendo la realidad de sus orígenes. Y todo parece haber cambiado para él. A la muerte de sus padres, su tía y el cura del pueblo ya se habían encargado de su educación. Un misterioso personaje aparece reiteradamente a suplantar su singular personalidad. Su fascinación por la aventura, la temprana avidez por el dinero, una innata empatía hacia los mayas, y sus relación con una jovencita indígena, le mueven a unirse a los alzados, al tiempo que sus nuevos preceptores le apoyan en su vocación a las letras. A cuatro décadas de la huída, Turix nos relata las peripecias de su vida, y nos da a conocer el intolerante ambiente de aquella época. "El escritor es un observador imparcial, no juez de sus personajes, o de las palabras que él pueda poner en su boca; aprende a alejarse de sí mismo y a mirarse sin complicidades. No resuelve problemas, sólo los plantea abiertamente", expresa en algún momento de su narrativa.
