Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focused on the appropriation of John Dewey’s ideas on progressive education in revolutionary Mexico, this book reconsiders the interpretation and application of Dewey’s ideas in the world. Rodriguez examines the use of Dewey in Mexico’s state-building projects as a vantage point to assess the global impact of Dewey’s pedagogy. As these projects converged with Dewey’s desire to employ education as a tool for effective social change, Rodriguez understands Dewey not just as a philosopher but as an integral part of the Americas’ progressive movement and era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro se basa mayormente en la vida de mi madre. Les relato en palabras sencillas parte de su niñez, su vida con mi padre; cuando se mudó a Puerto Rico con sus hijas; y cómo murió. Aunque comienzo con una parte que es ficción, en “Morelia”, luego paso a la realidad de “María Estela”, donde encontrarás un conglomerado de amor, tristezas y muchas alegrías en la vida de mi madre y nosotras cuando pequeñas. Mi madre es de nacionalidad dominicana, igualmente mi padre. Nacimos en una hermosa isla llamada la Hispaniola, donde nuestro bello país, La República Dominicana, ocupa la tercera parte. De importancia es la realidad de la vida de mi madre; cuando se mudó a la vecina isla de Puerto Rico; donde llegó sola con tres niñas en los brazos y comenzó una vida nueva, con muy pocos ahorros. María Estela siempre sintió mucho agradecimiento por la hospitalidad que recibió de los puertorriqueños. Mami no sabía que yo estaba escribiendo un libro sobre ella. Sin embargo, poco a poco fui recopilando datos mientras la visitaba. Ella me contaba muchas cosas sobre su niñez y su vida. También obtuve mucha información sobre ella, durante conversaciones que mantuve con familiares en Santo Domingo y en los Estados Unidos. En el relato ficticio que comencé a escribir con el nombre de “Morelia”; identifiqué a mami con ese nombre; ya que a ella le gustaba todo lo que era mexicano. Además, “Morelia” es una ciudad en México muy preciosa y auténtica; de mucha historia y colorido, así como fue la vida de mamá. Cuando le dije la verdad; de que escribía sobre su vida pero en una vida “inventada” en Morelia, ella solo se sonrió y me dijo: “¡Mira muchacha, qué mucho tú inventa!”. Le dije: “Mamá es que comencé a imaginarme cosas y te cambié la vida. Todavía no he terminado, ya verás que volveré a tu realidad en el Capítulo de María Estela. Ahí relataré muchas de las cosas que me has dicho y de nuestra vida en Puerto Rico”. Ella seguía escuchándome muy pensativa y con un gran suspiro me dijo: “María Estela, ahora sí que tu historia parece realidad”. Mi madre fue una mujer ejemplar en su propia sencillez. Ella no completó sus estudios, pues comenzó a trabajar a temprana edad. Ella, con mucho esfuerzo y limitaciones, nunca dejó de proveer para sus tres hijas. Con el tiempo, sus fuerzas menguaron, pero su amor, ¡nunca! De este sentimiento surge la inspiración de muchos de mis poemas. También encontrarás algunas estrofas de un poema de mi hermana Tina; quien también es escritora. Incluyo una cronología de eventos importantes de la vida de mamá, parte de su genealogía, y documentos, cartas y fotos importantes sobre ella. Yo no esperaba publicar un libro; solo quería plasmar la vida de mi madre y cómo ella nos crio en Puerto Rico como un recuerdo de amor para mis familiares inmediatos. Escribí con las mejores intenciones de relatar las cosas como transcurrieron. Sin embargo, necesité mi mente creativa para completar algunos detalles; ya que no recuerdo todo como pasó, pero les aseguro que sí vivimos todas esas experiencias ¡y mucho más! Este relato es en memoria a María Estela y como agradecimiento a Puerto Rico, la vecina isla donde mami hizo muchos de sus sueños realidad y donde crecimos rodeadas de mucho cariño, palmeras, sol, arena y mar. Para mí y mis hermanas, la vida de mamá fue siempre un tapiz abierto y de muchas tonalidades. Mamá fue como una manta fuerte que nos cubría de amor y siempre nos protegía. Es un honor para nosotras compartir “María Estela y Sus Tres Hijas” con todos ustedes. Si tienes en tus manos una copia de este libro; espero que sientas el amor incondicional que solo una madre puede ofrecer, y que seas bendecido(a). ¡Gracias por tu interés!

Download or read book The Library of Paradise written by David A. Michelson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemplative reading is a spiritual practice developed by Christian monks in sixth- and seventh-century Mesopotamia. Mystics belonging to the Church of the East pursued a form of contemplation which moved from reading, to meditation, to prayer, to the ecstasy of divine vision. The Library of Paradise tells the story of this Syriac tradition in three phases: its establishment as an ascetic practice, the articulation of its theology, and its maturation and spread. The sixth-century monastic reform of Abraham of Kashkar codified the essential place of reading in East Syrian ascetic life. Once established, the practice of contemplative reading received extensive theological commentary. Abraham's successor Babai the Great drew upon the ascetic system of Evagrius of Pontus to explain the relationship of reading to the monk's pursuit of God. Syriac monastic handbooks of the seventh century built on this Evagrian framework. 'Enanisho' of Adiabene composed an anthology called Paradise that would stand for centuries as essential reading matter for Syriac monks. Dadisho' of Qatar wrote a widely copied commentary on the Paradise. Together, these works circulated as a one-volume library which offered readers a door to "Paradise" through contemplation. The Library of Paradise is the first book-length study of East Syrian contemplative reading. It adapts methodological insights from prior scholarship on reading, including studies on Latin lectio divina. By tracing the origins of East Syrian contemplative reading, this study opens the possibility for future investigation into its legacies, including the tradition's long reception history in Sogdian, Arabic, and Ethiopic monastic libraries.

Download or read book Pedro Men ndez de Avil s and the Conquest of Florida written by Gonzalo Solís de Merás and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedro Menéndez de Avilés (1519–1574) founded St. Augustine in 1565. His expedition was documented by his brother-in-law, Gonzalo Solís de Merás, who left a detailed and passionate account of the events leading to the establishment of America’s oldest city. Until recently, the only extant version of Solís de Merás’s record was one single manuscript that Eugenio Ruidíaz y Caravia transcribed in 1893, and subsequent editions and translations have always followed Ruidíaz’s text. In 2012, David Arbesú discovered a more complete record: a manuscript including folios lost for centuries and, more important, excluding portions of the 1893 publication based on retellings rather than the original document. In the resulting volume, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and the Conquest of Florida, Arbesú sheds light on principal events missing from the story of St. Augustine’s founding. By consulting the original chronicle, Arbesú provides readers with the definitive bilingual edition of this seminal text.
