Book excerpt: La música del compositor mexicano Manuel María Ponce (1882 – 1948) constituye una de las voces más reconocidas y significativas de la música americana del siglo XX. Autor de un catálogo amplio de géneros y estilos, su música transita desde sus famosos arreglos de canciones mexicanas hasta algunas de las obras de cámara y sinfónicas más importantes del repertorio del pasado siglo. Ampliamente conocido por sus páginas para guitarra –que fueron alentadas por Andrés Segovia-, por su canción Estrellita –que Jascha Heifetz convirtió en una encore de rigueur para los violinistas de todo el mundo- y por una brillante producción para piano, su obra esconde, sin embargo, mayores tesoros y partituras por descubrir. El presente libro se propone poner al día la biografía de su autor mediante la revisión exhaustiva de su correspondencia personal –en su mayor parte inédita-, revisar en forma global la importante labor de Ponce como editor y crítico –tras la compilación de los más de cien artículos de que publicó a lo largo de su vida, amén de una colección de casi quinientos recortes periodísticos-, así como ofrecer a los lectores una visión general, informada y analítica de su producción, con especial atención a sus obras más importantes. Con todo ello el autor propone una nueva visión de este importante músico, tanto de su vida y logros artísticos como del amplio y revelador conjunto de su creación. - back over

Download or read book War Against All Puerto Ricans written by Nelson Denis and published by Nation Books. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1950, after over fifty years of military occupation and colonial rule, the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico staged an unsuccessful armed insurrection against the United States. Violence swept through the island: assassins were sent to kill President Harry Truman, gunfights roared in eight towns, police stations and post offices were burned down. In order to suppress this uprising, the US Army deployed thousands of troops and bombarded two towns, marking the first time in history that the US government bombed its own citizens. Nelson A. Denis tells this powerful story through the controversial life of Pedro Albizu Campos, who served as the president of the Nationalist Party. A lawyer, chemical engineer, and the first Puerto Rican to graduate from Harvard Law School, Albizu Campos was imprisoned for twenty-five years and died under mysterious circumstances. By tracing his life and death, Denis shows how the journey of Albizu Campos is part of a larger story of Puerto Rico and US colonialism. Through oral histories, personal interviews, eyewitness accounts, congressional testimony, and recently declassified FBI files, War Against All Puerto Ricans tells the story of a forgotten revolution and its context in Puerto Rico’s history, from the US invasion in 1898 to the modern-day struggle for self-determination. Denis provides an unflinching account of the gunfights, prison riots, political intrigue, FBI and CIA covert activity, and mass hysteria that accompanied this tumultuous period in Puerto Rican history.

Download or read book Finding Afro Mexico written by Theodore W. Cohen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the Mexican state counted how many of its citizens identified as Afro-Mexican for the first time since independence. Finding Afro-Mexico reveals the transnational interdisciplinary histories that led to this celebrated reformulation of Mexican national identity. It traces the Mexican, African American, and Cuban writers, poets, anthropologists, artists, composers, historians, and archaeologists who integrated Mexican history, culture, and society into the African Diaspora after the Revolution of 1910. Theodore W. Cohen persuasively shows how these intellectuals rejected the nineteenth-century racial paradigms that heralded black disappearance when they made blackness visible first in Mexican culture and then in post-revolutionary society. Drawing from more than twenty different archives across the Americas, this cultural and intellectual history of black visibility, invisibility, and community-formation questions the racial, cultural, and political dimensions of Mexican history and Afro-diasporic thought.

This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The premise of Kitharologus is that Guitar technique is made up of a limited number of procedures with an unlimited number of applications. Therefore, a sound technical methodology is not one that tries to cover all possible forms of a given procedure, but rather one that identifies and trains the essential mechanism which makes the procedure, in all its forms, possible. Covering all grades from novice to expert, this book is certain to be enthusiastically embraced by any classical guitarist wishing to maximize his technique.
