Download or read book Ethnic Studies Research written by Timothy P. Fong and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2008 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic Studies Research synthesizes and benchmarks ethnic studies methodologies as interdisciplinary modes of inquiry, providing state-of-the-art summary chapters on key methods and issues, extensive bibliographies, and promising new directions for the future. The study of ethnic groups and race relations has always existed in academia, primarily in the areas of sociology and anthropology. However, grassroots movements for ethnic studies programs and departments developed with very different agendas for the study of these groups. It is surprising, then, that relatively few books devoted to these methods exist to document and promote this innovation among succeeding generations of graduate students, as well as current academics and professional practitioners. Ethnic Studies Research is a step toward ending that void. Book jacket.
Download or read book Grandes mitos y leyendas de la Historia written by Carlos Javier Taranilla de la Varga and published by Editorial Almuzara. This book was released on 2016-04-16 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde la «Fuente de la Eterna Juventud», el «Elixir de la Vida» y otros mitos que tienen como base el anhelo de Inmortalidad, hasta las tierras legendarias y civilizaciones perdidas como la «Ciudad Errante de los Césares» o la Atlántida, pasando por otros tan conocidos como dragones, centauros, arpías, sirenas, cíclopes o «el Judío Errante». Estos son algunos de los mitos y leyendas en los que la obra indaga para dar a conocer sus orígenes y motivaciones. «Para la ciencia, el origen del hombre sigue siendo un misterio. ¿Por qué un primate comenzó a ser inteligente hasta convertirse en lo que denominamos homo sapiens? Lo que está claro es que la inteligencia de la nueva especie se manifestó y se manifiesta mediante lo que denominamos “el pensamiento simbólico”, algo que desde el momento de nuestra aparición sirvió para que los seres humanos intentásemos descifrar la ininteligible realidad en la que estábamos inmersos. En este libro, su autor, tiene la virtud de ofrecernos una recopilación bien sistematizada de mitos y leyendas de la historia de la humanidad, de una forma que me atrevo a calificar como enciclopédica. Un libro, en fin, documentado con rigor y elaborado con destreza descriptiva, que nos muestra las ficciones milenarias que cuajaron en los mitos y en las leyendas venerables, urdiéndolo todo en un tejido de referentes culturales muy completo y atractivo». Del prólogo de José María Merino (de la Real Academia Española).

Download or read book La Guera Rodriguez written by Silvia Marina Arrom and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fact is torn from fiction in this first biography of Mexico’s famous independence heroine, which also traces her subsequent journey from history to myth. María Ignacia Rodríguez de Velasco y Osorio Barba (1778–1850) is an iconic figure in Mexican history. Known by the nickname “La Güera Rodríguez” because she was so fair, she is said to have possessed a remarkably sharp wit, a face fit for statuary, and a penchant for defying the status quo. Charming influential figures such as Simon Bolívar, Alexander von Humboldt, and Agustín de Iturbide, she utilized gold and guile in equal measure to support the independence movement—or so the stories say. In La Güera Rodríguez, Silvia Marina Arrom approaches the legends of Rodríguez de Velasco with a keen eye, seeking to disentangle the woman from the myth. Arrom uses a wide array of primary sources from the period to piece together an intimate portrait of this remarkable woman, followed by a review of her evolving representation in Mexican arts and letters that shows how the legends became ever more fanciful after her death. How much of the story is rooted in fact, and how much is fiction sculpted to fit the cultural sensibilities of a given moment in time? In our contemporary moment of unprecedented misinformation, it is particularly relevant to analyze how and why falsehoods become part of historical memory. La Güera Rodriguez will prove an indispensable resource for those searching to understand late-colonial Mexico, the role of women in the independence movement, and the use of historic figures in crafting national narratives.
Download or read book Conquistadoras written by Carlos B. Vega and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2003-10-02 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though women played an integral role in the conquest of the New World, little has been written about their contributions. This Spanish-language work examines the lives and deeds of women who influenced the course of history in the Americas some 500 years ago. Covered in detail are the lives of Maria de Toledo, first woman governor in America; Isabel de Bobadilla, governor of Cuba and instrumental in the Spanish expedition to Florida; Ana Francisca de Borja, governor of Peru and a military leader; Beatriz de la Cueva, governor of Guatemala and a political leader; Maria de Penalosa, governor of Nicaragua and a military strategist; Isabel Barreto y Quiros, first and only woman admiral of the Spanish navy; and mestizo leaders Francisca Pizarro and Leonor de Alvarado. Also covered are more than 40 other women of the same period--Spanish, Indian, and black--who held a wide variety of leadership positions. The book draws its information from the writings of respected early historians as well as historical documents from libraries and archives in Spain, Latin America and the United States. Cortes, Pizarro, Alvarado, todos ellos hombres conocidos y famosos. Pero y las mujeres? Si bien fue el hombre el que mayormente cargo sobre sus hombros la empresa conquistadora, muchas fueron las mujeres que tambien formaron parte de tal epopeya. Sin embargo, la historia les paso por encima y las relego al triste olvido. Esta obra se empena en hacerles justicia historica a estas mujeres, destacando sus vidas y hazanas sobre todo a ocho de ellas, quizas las mas conocidas, pero no las unicas. Fueron mujeres excepcionales, resolutas, integras, juiciosas, prontas a echar un pie adelante cuando las circunstancias asi lo exigieron, pero, vale recalcar, sin renunciar en ningun momento a sus dotes de madres y esposas. De las ocho mujeres, seis fueron espanolas y dos indigenas, incluyendose, ademas, a unas cuarenta mas aunque en menos detalle. La obra rebosa humanidad y sentido historico y esta escrita en un lenguaje pulcro y sencillo, al alcance de todo tipo de lector. Sus fuentes son rigurosamente historicas y fidedignas, fruto de las mas excelsas plumas a ambos lados del Atlantico y pertenecientes a todas las epocas, incluyendo, claro esta, a los primitivos cronistas de Indias.

Download or read book Mitos errantes written by Tommaso Braccini and published by Alianza Editorial. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Todo el mundo conoce, ha oído alguna vez o tal vez incluso ha difundido historias que normalmente se engloban dentro de lo que conocemos como "leyendas urbanas", de carácter más o menos terrorífico o inquietante, o también burlón o humorístico: la chica de la curva, los animales amenazantes que surgen del inodoro, conspiraciones de toda laya..., entre otras muchas. En este amenísimo libro, Tommaso Braccini trae a colación numerosos casos de estas leyendas -que deberían llamarse con más propiedad, aclara, "leyendas contemporáneas"- y nos revela su relación con los cuentos o relatos populares propios del folclore, así como la existencia de precedentes, en muchos casos, no sólo en la Edad Media y la Antigüedad, sino también a lo largo de la geografía, de forma que nos da a conocer su verdadera esencia de "mitos" inherentes a la naturaleza humana, lo cual los convierte en "mitos" errantes en el tiempo y el espacio.
Download or read book The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Latino Literature 3 volumes written by Nicolás Kanellos and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-08-30 with total page 1444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From East L.A. to the barrios of New York City and the Cuban neighborhoods of Miami, Latino literature, or literature written by Hispanic peoples of the United States, is the written word of North America's vibrant Latino communities. Emerging from the fusion of Spanish, North American, and African cultures, it has always been part of the American mosaic. Written for students and general readers, this encyclopedia surveys the vast landscape of Latino literature from the colonial era to the present. Aiming to be as broad and inclusive as possible, the encyclopedia covers all of native North American Latino literature as well as that created by authors originating in virtually every country of Spanish America and Spain. Included are more than 700 alphabetically arranged entries written by roughly 60 expert contributors. While most of the entries are on writers, such as Julia Alvarez, Sandra Cisneros, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Oscar Hijuelos, and Piri Thomas, others cover genres, ethnic and national literatures, movements, historical topics and events, themes, concepts, associations and organizations, and publishers and magazines. Special attention is given to the cultural, political, social, and historical contexts in which Latino literature has developed. Entries cite works for further reading, and the encyclopedia closes with a selected, general bibliography.

Download or read book Laura M ndez de Cuenca written by Mílada Bazant and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laura Méndez de Cuenca—poet, teacher, editor, writer, and feminist—dared to bypass the cultural traditions of her time. In the early 1870s, when conservative religious thought permeated all aspects of Mexican life, she was one of very few women to gain admission to an extraordinary constellation of male poets, playwrights, and novelists, who were also the publicists and statesmen of the time. She entered this world through her poetry, intellect, curiosity, assertiveness, but her personal life was fraught with tragedy: she had a child out of wedlock by poet Manuel Acuña, who killed himself shortly thereafter. She later married another poet, Agustín Fidencio Cuenca, and had seven other children. All but two of her children died, as did Agustín. As a penniless young widow facing social rejection, Laura became a teacher and an important force in Mexico’s burgeoning educational reform program. She moved abroad—first to San Francisco, then St. Louis, then Berlin. In these places where she was not known and women had begun to move confidently in the public sphere, she could walk freely, observe, mingle, make friends across many circles, learn, think, and express her opinions. She wrote primarily for a Mexican public and always returned to Mexico because it was her country’s future that she strove to create. Now, for the first time in English, Mílada Bazant shares with us the trajectory of a leading Mexican thinker who applied the power of the pen to human feeling, suffering, striving, and achievement.
