Book Cuban Youth and Revolutionary Values

Download or read book Cuban Youth and Revolutionary Values written by Denise F. Blum and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Havana's secondary schools, Cuban Youth and Revolutionary Values is a remarkable ethnography, charting the government's attempts to transform a future generation of citizens. While Cuba's high literacy rate is often lauded, the little-known dropout rates among teenagers receive less scrutiny. In vivid, succinct reporting, educational anthropologist Denise Blum now shares her findings regarding this overlooked aspect of the Castro legacy. Despite the fact that primary-school enrollment rates exceed those of the United States, the reverse is true for the crucial years between elementary school and college. After providing a history of Fidel Castro's educational revolution begun in 1953, Denise Blum delivers a close examination of the effects of the program, which was designed to produce a society motivated by benevolence rather than materialism. Exploring pioneering pedagogy, the notion of civic education, and the rural components of the program, Cuban Youth and Revolutionary Values brims with surprising findings about one of the most intriguing social experiments in recent history.

  • Pages : 456 pages

Download or read book Corrido written by and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present compilation of ballads from the Mexican states of Guerrero and Oaxaca documents one of the world's great traditions of heroic song, a tradition that has thrived continuously for the last hundred years. The 107 corridos presented here, gathered during ethnographic research over a period of twenty-five years in settlements on Mexico's Costa Chica and Costa Grande, offer a window into the ethos of heroism among the cultures of Mexico's southwestern coast, a region that has been plagued by recurrent cycles of violence. John Holmes McDowell presents a richly annotated field collection of corridos, accompanied by musical scores and transcriptions and translations of lyrics. In addition to his interpretation of the corridos' depiction of violence and masculinity, McDowell situates the songs in historical and performance contexts, illuminating the Afro-mestizo influence in this distinctive population.

Book Words of the True Peoples Palabras de los Seres Verdaderos

Download or read book Words of the True Peoples Palabras de los Seres Verdaderos written by Carlos Montemayor and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and Huichol. Volume Three contains plays by six Mexican indigenous writers. Their plays appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Montemayor and Frischmann have abundantly annotated the Spanish, English, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that introduce the work of each playwright and discuss the role of theater within indigenous communities. These supporting materials make the anthology especially accessible and interesting for nonspecialist readers seeking a greater understanding of Mexico's indigenous peoples.

Book Te esperar

  • Author : Tomás Ortiz Martínez
  • Publisher : Odisea Editorial
  • Release : 2010-05
  • ISBN : 849260929X
  • Pages : 113 pages

Download or read book Te esperar written by Tomás Ortiz Martínez and published by Odisea Editorial. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lo largo de una noche Antonio escribe febrilmente una carta. Una carta feroz, desgarradora y compulsiva cuyo autor no puede dejar de escribir durante una larga noche. La escritura es lo único que alivia el sufrido dolor de Antonio tras el abandono de Juanjo. “¿Recuerdas cuánto te quiero, a ti, cómo te quiero? ¿Recuerdas? ¿Me quieres recordar?” Antonio, que siempre ha huido del amor, de repente topa con él y lo único que hace es dejarlo escapar. Arrepentido y afligido la escritura de esta carta es como un conjuro para que regrese Juanjo; un descenso a sus propios infiernos, de los que sale una narración brillante y atrevida. Te esperaré, novela ganadora del II Premio Odisea de Literatura, acreditó a Tomás Ortiz (Madrid, 1978) como uno de los autores más destacados de su generación. Apasionado de la literatura desde la infancia, Tomás inició con Te esperaré (2000) su particular visión sobre la pérdida del ser amado que continuó con Seguiré aquí cuando despiertes (2003) y que culmina con Los amigos de Sebastián y Tu otra mitad (2008). A estos títulos hay que añadir un pequeño y delicioso pecado llamado Contactos (Libido, 2001) que aún consigue sonrojar al autor.

Book Domestic Economies

  • Author : Susanna Rosenbaum
  • Publisher : Duke University Press

  • ISBN : 0822372266

Download or read book Domestic Economies written by Susanna Rosenbaum and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Domestic Economies, Susanna Rosenbaum examines how two groups of women—Mexican and Central American domestic workers and the predominantly white, middle-class women who employ them—seek to achieve the "American Dream." By juxtaposing their understandings and experiences, she illustrates how immigrant and native-born women strive to reach that ideal, how each group is indispensable to the other's quest, and what a vital role reproductive labor plays in this pursuit. Through in-depth ethnographic research with these women at work, at home, and in the urban spaces of Los Angeles, Rosenbaum positions domestic service as an intimate relationship that reveals two versions of female personhood. Throughout, Rosenbaum underscores the extent to which the ideology of the American Dream is racialized and gendered, exposing how the struggle for personal worth and social recognition is shaped at the intersection of motherhood and paid employment.
