Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta novela trata sobre la lucha desde los tiempos de la conquista por la democracia, la libertad y la paz que han experimentado los pueblos latinoamericanos. A través de los tiempos, la mayoría de estos pueblos han experimentado la explotación y represión a manos de fuerzas opresoras extranjeras y nacionales. Esto ha llevado algunos de estos pueblos a recurrir a la revolución armada como última alternativa para alcanzar la democracia, la libertad y la paz. Desafortunadamente, estos pueblos han descubierto que la violencia no es el camino apropiado para encontrar la liberación. Un día muy confundido y preocupado de ver el camino que había tomado la revolución, Juanito decidió ir a la biblioteca y retiró varios libros para conocer más la ideología que El Estado, los ideólogos y los líderes del partido en el poder imponían sobre la población. Entre más leía sobre aquella doctrina, menos entendía cómo era posible que una ideología cuya filosofía hablaba y promulgaba la liberación del ser humano, a la hora de la práctica convirtiera en esclavos y dogmáticos a toda la población. La doctrina y los adoctrinadores caminaban caminos diametralmente opuestos. La doctrina decía una cosa y los que trataban de ponerla en práctica hacían otra. Los demagogos hablaban de libertad y ellos mismos eran esclavos de su propia doctrina enajenante y seguían obligando al pueblo a ser esclavo. -Es una desgracia tener que pasarse la vida en silencio sin poder decir lo que uno piensa porque si lo hacemos nos meten a la cárcel, nos torturan, nos mandan al exilio o simplemente nos acribillan frente a un paredón-pensaba Juanito. -Yo no puedo vivir así-decía-. ¿De qué valió que miles de compañeros perdieran sus vidas en feroces combates contra el enemigo? . . . ¿De qué valieron todos aquellos años metidos en la montaña con la espalda mojada, cansados, ahuevados, durmiendo en el suelo, enfermos, con el lodo hasta la rodilla, aguantando frío y hambres? . . . “Yo no puedo vivir bajo un sistema que me obliga a aceptar dogmas y una doctrina sacada de los fantásticos sueños de un viejo tejedor de sueños. Yo no tengo por qué aceptar doctrinas enajenantes, filosofías huecas o mitos . . . Yo no puedo vivir con una mordaza en la boca, una venda en los ojos, grilletes en las manos y una cadena de hierro en mi mente. Yo ya me cansé de toda esta carajada. Voy a salir y gritar a los cuatro vientos todo lo que siento. También le voy a decir a mis familiares y amigos que hagan lo mismo . . . , que no se queden con nada por dentro. Aunque me metan en una celda fría y acaben conmigo a palos, yo voy a decir lo que pienso-acabó diciendo Juanito-. BR> Esa misma tarde, Juanito tomó una hoja de papel y le escribió una carta a Juventino, el hijo mayor de su hermana Rosaura, quien para entonces ya estudiaba en la secundaria del Liceo José Martí. En aquella carta, Juanito le aconsejaba a su sobrino: Nunca dejes que otros manipulen tu vida ni tu mente. Mantén los ojos abiertos y nunca dejes que otros te impongan sus ideologías, doctrinas, dogmas, o mitos de los cuales tú no eres simpatizante ni entiendes. Prepárate y siempre defiende tu punto de vista. No seas como aquellos que no son ni chicha ni limonada. No seas como esas barcas o el cometa que se deja llevar por el viento. Si no estás de acuerdo con lo que hacen tus gobernantes, pues dilo y ya. Habla . . . , no te quedes callado porque lo que uno guarda en el pecho poco a poco te sofoca hasta dejarte inerte en el lecho. Dicho y hecho. Libera tu mente y tu ser . . . , ten fe en lo que haces, camina con determinación, se lo que tú quieras ser sin importarte el que dirán, respeta los derechos de los demás, mantén la mirada puesta en el futuro y muchas cosas buenas vendrán con el estudio y el trabajo.” Dos días después como a eso de las cuatro de la tarde, Juanito fue al parque situado frente a la catedral en la ciudad capital, se subió sobre una banca de c

Download or read book History s Peru written by Mark Thurner and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2011-02-13 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Thurner here offers a brilliant account of Peruvian historiography, one that makes a pioneering contribution not only to Latin American studies but also to the history of historical thought at large. He traces the contributions of key historians of Peru, from the colonial period through the present, and teases out the theoretical underpinnings of their approaches. He demonstrates how Peruvian historical thought critiques both European history and Anglophone postcolonial theory. And his deeply informed readings of Peru's most influential historians--from Inca Garcilaso de la Vega to Jorge Basadre--are among the most subtle and powerful available in English.
Download or read book Latin American Identities After 1980 written by Gordana Yovanovich and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2010-04-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American Identities After 1980 takes an interdisciplinary approach to Latin American social and cultural identities. With broad regional coverage, and an emphasis on Canadian perspectives, it focuses on Latin American contact with other cultures and nations. Its sound scholarship combines evidence-based case studies with the Latin American tradition of the essay, particularly in areas where the discourse of the establishment does not match political, social, and cultural realities and where it is difficult to uncover the purposely covert. This study of the cultural and social Latin America begins with an interpretation of the new Pax Americana, designed in the 1980s by the North in agreement with the Southern elites. As the agreement ties the hands of national governments and establishes new regional and global strategies, a pan–Latin American identity is emphasized over individual national identities. The multi-faceted impacts and effects of globalization in Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and the Caribbean are examined, with an emphasis on social change, the transnationalization and commodification of Latin American and Caribbean arts and the adaptation of cultural identities in a globalized context as understood by Latin American authors writing from transnational perspectives.
Download or read book The Neo Indians written by Jacques Galinier and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neo-Indians is a rich ethnographic study of the emergence of the neo-Indian movement—a new form of Indian identity based on largely reinvented pre-colonial cultures and comprising a diverse group of people attempting to re-create purified pre-colonial indigenous beliefs and ritual practices without the contaminating influences of modern society. There is no full-time neo-Indian. Both indigenous and non-indigenous practitioners assume Indian identities only when deemed spiritually significant. In their daily lives, they are average members of modern society, dressing in Western clothing, working at middle-class jobs, and retaining their traditional religious identities. As a result of this part-time status the neo-Indians are often overlooked as a subject of study, making this book the first anthropological analysis of the movement. Galinier and Molinié present and analyze four decades of ethnographic research focusing on Mexico and Peru, the two major areas of the movement’s genesis. They examine the use of public space, describe the neo-Indian ceremonies, provide analysis of the ceremonies’ symbolism, and explore the close relationship between the neo-Indian religion and tourism. The Neo-Indians will be of great interest to ethnographers, anthropologists, and scholars of Latin American history, religion, and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ultimately, Sandino saw himself as a Divine incarnation. In exploring how religion dominated his persona and activated his political and social projects, this book portrays Sandino as not just a rebel but a revolutionary prophet and messiah. It is at once an intriguing and significant contribution to the growing literature on Sandino, on Nicaraguan and Latin American history, and on millenarian movements and religions."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Aztl n and Arcadia written by Roberto Ramon Lint Sagarena and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the Mexican-American War, competing narratives of religious conquest and re-conquest were employed by Anglo American and ethnic Mexican Californians to make sense of their place in North America. These "invented traditions" had a profound impact on North American religious and ethnic relations, serving to bring elements of Catholic history within the Protestant fold of the United States' national history as well as playing an integral role in the emergence of the early Chicano/a movement. Many Protestant Anglo Americans understood their settlement in the far Southwest as following in the footsteps of the colonial project begun by Catholic Spanish missionaries. In contrast, Californios--Mexican-Americans and Chicana/os--stressed deep connections to a pre-Columbian past over to their own Spanish heritage. Thus, as Anglo Americans fashioned themselves as the spiritual heirs to the Spanish frontier, many ethnic Mexicans came to see themselves as the spiritual heirs to a southwestern Aztec homeland.

Book excerpt: Aqui la historia real es el viaje inconcluso del Cristo de la Veracruz desde Espana hasta la costa sur de Cuba en el ano 1713, a bordo de un mercante espanol. Se quedo en Trinidad por voluntad propia, negandose a abandonar aquella tierra segun rezan la historia y la leyenda, alli permanecio y alli continua hasta el presente, venerado en la iglesia de la Santisima Trinidad por todo aquel que cree en El y en sus milagros. La parte imaginaria nos cuenta la historia de una joven nacida en las cumbres del Macizo de Garraf, en Cataluna, que huye de su misera existencia privada de afectos y, con ese fin, se embarca como polizon en el mismo barco encargado de trasladar el Cristo a su destino; ella se sobrepone a sus miedos, enfrenta el peligro segun se le presenta dia a dia, desembarca para quedarse en el mismo lugar que lo hace la imagen sagrada. Anos despues escribe sus memorias y deja el manuscrito aprisionado en las paredes de un palacete trinitario del Siglo XVIII donde vivio hasta su muerte.
Download or read book Pol tica written by Felipe Gonzales and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Política offers a stunning revisionist understanding of the early political incorporation of Mexican-origin peoples into the U.S. body politic in the nineteenth century. Historical sociologist Phillip B. Gonzales reexamines the fundamental issue in New Mexico's history, namely, the dramatic shift in national identities initiated by Nuevomexicanos when their province became ruled by the United States. Gonzales provides an insightful, rigorous, and controversial interpretation of how Nuevomexicano political competition was woven into the Democratic and Republican two-party system that emerged in the United States between the 1850s and 1912, when New Mexico became a state. Drawing on newly discovered archival and primary sources, he explores how Nuevomexicanos relied on a long tradition of political engagement and a preexisting republican disposition and practice to elaborate a dual-party political system mirroring the contours of U.S. national politics. Política is a tour de force of political history in the nineteenth-century U.S.-Mexico borderlands that reinterprets colonization, reconstructs Euro-American and Nuevomexicano relations, and recasts the prevailing historical narrative of territorial expansion and incorporation in North American imperial history. Gonzales provides critical insights into several discrete historical processes, such as U.S. racialization and citizenship, integration and marginalization, accommodation and resistance, internal colonialism, and the long struggle for political inclusion in the borderlands, shedding light on debates taking place today over Latinos and U.S. citizenship.

Download or read book Monsters by Trade written by Lisa Surwillo and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transatlantic studies have begun to explore the lasting influence of Spain on its former colonies and the surviving ties between the American nations and Spain. In Monsters by Trade, Lisa Surwillo takes a different approach, explaining how modern Spain was literally made by its Cuban colony. Long after the transatlantic slave trade had been abolished, Spain continued to smuggle thousands of Africans annually to Cuba to work the sugar plantations. Nearly a third of the royal income came from Cuban sugar, and these profits underwrote Spain's modernization even as they damaged its international standing. Surwillo analyzes a sampling of nineteenth-century Spanish literary works that reflected metropolitan fears of the hold that slave traders (and the slave economy more generally) had over the political, cultural, and financial networks of power. She also examines how the nineteenth-century empire and the role of the slave trader are commemorated in contemporary tourism and literature in various regions in Northern Spain. This is the first book to demonstrate the centrality of not just Cuba, but the illicit transatlantic slave trade to the cultural life of modern Spain.
