Download or read book Monasticism in Modern Times written by Isabelle Jonveaux and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a broad sociological perspective on the contemporary issues facing Christian monasticism. Since the founding work of Max Weber, the sociology of monasticism has received little attention. However, the field is now being revitalized by some new research. Focusing on Christian monks and nuns, the contributors explore continuity and discontinuity with the past in what superficially might appear a monolithic tradition. Contributors speak not only about monasticism in Europe and the United States but also in Africa and Latin America, a different landscape where the question of recruitment does not figure among issues considered as problematic.

Download or read book Gringo written by CHESA BOUDIN and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gringocharts two journeys, both of which began a decade ago. The first is the sweeping transformation of Latin American politics that started with Hugo Chávez's inauguration as president of Venezuela in 1999. In that same year, an eighteen-year-old Chesa Boudin leaves his middle-class Chicago life -- which is punctuated by prison visits to his parents, who were incarcerated when he was fourteen months old for their role in a politically motivated bank truck robbery -- and arrives in Guatemala. He finds a world where disparities of wealth are even more pronounced and where social change is not confined to classroom or dinner-table conversations, but instead takes place in the streets. While a new generation of progress-ive Latin American leaders rises to power, Boudin crisscrosses twenty-seven countries throughout the Americas. He witnesses the economic crisis in Buenos Aires; works inside Chávez's Miraflores palace in Caracas; watches protestors battling police on September 11, 2001, in Santiago; descends into ancient silver mines in Potosí; and travels steerage on a riverboat along the length of the Amazon. He rarely takes a plane when a fifteen-hour bus ride in the company of unfettered chickens is available. Including incisive analysis, brilliant reportage, and deep humanity, Boudin's account of this historic period is revelatory. It weaves together the voices of Latin Americans, some rich, most poor, and the endeavors of a young traveler to understand the world around him while coming to terms with his own complicated past. The result is a marvelous mixture of coming-of-age memoir and travelogue.

Download or read book Ayer written by Juan Emar and published by Gatopardo ediciones. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En San Agustín de Tango el peligro, el delirio o la Verdad acechan a la vuelta de la esquina. A lo largo del día —el día de ayer— que abarca esta novela, el protagonista y su querida esposa asisten a la decapitación de un hombre por predicar los placeres intelectuales del sexo, se unen al canto celestial de un coro de cinocéfalos, presencian la ingesta de un león por parte de un avestruz, visitan el taller de un artista obsesionado con el color verde y se embarcan en un sinfín de disquisiciones filosóficas. Todo ello conforma un prodigioso peregrinaje urbano, una vuelta al día en pos de una revelación que se insinúa y nunca acaba de llegar. Porque en la literatura cuántica de Juan Emar el tiempo y el espacio van siempre un paso por delante del sujeto que los observa. Ayer, publicada originalmente en Chile en 1935, y que en esta edición viene acompañada de un prólogo de Alejandro Zambra, es una de las novelas más singulares escritas en español en el siglo xx, un derroche de humor e inteligencia en el que el espíritu vanguardista se alía felizmente con una irrefrenable pulsión narrativa para dar cuenta del absurdo metafísico y cotidiano de la existencia.

Book excerpt: "In Gringo, Chesa Boudin takes us on a delightfully engaging trip through Latin America, in an ingenious combination of memoir and commentary" (Howard Zinn). Gringo charts two journeys, both of which began a decade ago. The first is the sweeping transformation of Latin American politics that started with Hugo Chávez's inauguration as president of Venezuela in 1999. In that same year, an eighteen-year-old Chesa Boudin leaves his middle-class Chicago life -- which is punctuated by prison visits to his parents, who were incarcerated when he was fourteen months old for their role in a politically motivated bank truck robbery -- and arrives in Guatemala.

Download or read book El Cinco de Mayo written by David Hayes-Bautista and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-05-05 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is Cinco de Mayo—a holiday commemorating a Mexican victory over the French at Puebla in 1862—so widely celebrated in California and across the United States, when it is scarcely observed in Mexico? As David E. Hayes-Bautista explains, the holiday is not Mexican at all, but rather an American one, created by Latinos in California during the mid-nineteenth century. Hayes-Bautista shows how the meaning of Cinco de Mayo has shifted over time—it embodied immigrant nostalgia in the 1930s, U.S. patriotism during World War II, Chicano Power in the 1960s and 1970s, and commercial intentions in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, it continues to reflect the aspirations of a community that is engaged, empowered, and expanding.
