Wolfgang Vogt Con Vetas de pasiones, de María Jesús Barreta, Real de Catorce conmemora su abandono con buena literatura Miguel García Ascencio -Todos fueron cómplices del crimen -murmura Lorenzo.

Los hechos pasados cobran sentido a través de su tono. El Real es una caja sonora. Lorenzo evoca la sonoridad tersa y cadenciosa de su abuela Pascuala, que fue medio adivina y comadrona. Atendió el parto en el que él llegó al mundo. Auguró -Naciste de pies, Lorenzo; tendrás buena suerte -Lo dijo un cuatro de octubre, día de San Francisco de Asís, durante el festejo de un aniversario más de la fundación de Catorce. A sus seis años las palabras de su abuela produjeron en Lorenzo enorme placer. Feliz vio el chisporrotear de la fogata rodeada de hombres. Ese día Ramón, historiador aficionado, contó como fue el inicio de Catorce...

Download or read book La Int Rprete de Hern N Cort S written by Carlos Laredo and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Conquista de México, contada con todo detalle, sirve de decorado y soporte a una historia de amor y de guerra. Tras la batalla de Centla, la primera librada en el continente americano, los vencidos regalaron a los españoles un puñado de doncellas, entre las que se encontraba la que sería intérprete y amante de Hernán Cortés, doña Marina o La Malinche, como se conoce a la mujer atrevida e inteligente que desempeñó un papel decisivo en el éxito de la conquista del imperio azteca. Un "regalo" que Cortés valoró y conservó durante toda su vida. En esta novela, documentada con meticuloso rigor histórico, el autor imagina los sentimientos vacilantes de una joven india deslumbrada por la personalidad de un hombre audaz, calculador y sensible. Un amor que se sobrepone a la crudeza de las batallas, a las intrigas y traiciones, a las flaquezas y grandeza de los protagonistas y que es el hilo conductor de una narración repleta de emoción y ternura.
Download or read book Chicana Movidas written by Dionne Espinoza and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from a wide array of scholars and activists, including leading Chicana feminists from the period, this groundbreaking anthology is the first collection of scholarly essays and testimonios that focuses on Chicana organizing, activism, and leadership in the movement years. The essays in Chicana Movidas: New Narratives of Activisim and Feminism in the Movement Era demonstrate how Chicanas enacted a new kind of politica at the intersection of race, class, gender, and sexuality, and developed innovative concepts, tactics, and methodologies that in turn generated new theories, art forms, organizational spaces, and strategies of alliance. These are the technologies of resistance documented in Chicana Movidas, a volume that brings together critical biographies of Chicana activists and their bodies of work; essays that focus on understudied organizations, mobilizations, regions, and subjects; examinations of emergent Chicana archives and the politics of collection; and scholarly approaches that challenge the temporal, political, heteronormative, and spatial limits of established Chicano movement narratives. Charting the rise of a field of knowledge that crosses the boundaries of Chicano studies, feminist theory, and queer theory, Chicana Movidas: New Narratives of Activisim and Feminism in the Movement Era offers a transgenerational perspective on the intellectual and political legacies of early Chicana feminism.

Download or read book The House on Mango Street written by Sandra Cisneros and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A coming-of-age classic about a young girl growing up in Chicago • Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world—from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. “Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book Review The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting." Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous—Cisneros’s masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street or Toni Morrison’s Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one’s story and of being proud of where you're from.

Download or read book The Lost War for Texas written by James Aalan Bernsen and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-08 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important themes in US history is the series of struggles that transformed the Southwest from a Spanish to an American possession: the Texas Revolution of 1836 and the Mexican–American War of 1845. But what if historians have been overlooking a key event that led to these wars—another war almost entirely unknown—that took place on what is now US soil and dramatically shaped the development of the American Southwest to this day? The true story of this war, presented in The Lost War for Texas: Mexican Rebels, American Burrites, and the Texas Revolution of 1811, is only now being revealed by never-before-published research, which will challenge paradigms and reshape much of what we know about United States, Texas, and even Mexican history. In the early 1800s, the impact of the Napoleonic Wars rippled across the Atlantic. Within weeks of the United States’s declaration of war on England in 1812, hundreds of western militia forces rallied to a flag and marched boldly to war—but not for the United States. They instead invaded the province of Texas to make common cause with Mexican rebels who had launched their struggle against the Spanish monarchy the year before. The resulting war changed the Southwest forever. Author James Aalan Bernsen places a spotlight on division and separatism at this pivotal moment of the “second revolution” of the United States. The Lost War for Texas, by revealing the forgotten war of 1811–1812 will profoundly change how we understand the birth of the American Southwest.
Download or read book Saltillo 1770 1810 written by Leslie S. Offutt and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the eighteenth century, the community of Saltillo in northeastern Mexico was a thriving hub of commerce. Over the previous hundred years its population had doubled to 11,000, and the town was no longer limited to a peripheral role in the country's economy. Leslie Offutt examines the social and economic history of this major late-colonial trading center to cast new light on our understanding of Mexico's regional history. Drawing on a vast amount of original research, Offutt contends that northern Mexico in general has too often been misportrayed as a backwater frontier region, and she shows how Saltillo assumed a significance that set it apart from other towns in the northern reaches of New Spain. Saltillo was home to a richly textured society that stands in sharp contrast to images portrayed in earlier scholarship, and Offutt examines two of its most important socioeconomic groups—merchants and landowners—to reveal the complexity and vitality of the region's agriculture, ranching, and trade. By delineating the business transactions, social links, and political interaction between these groups, she shows how leading merchants came to dominate the larger society and helped establish the centrality of the town. She also examines the local political sphere and the social basis of officeholding—in which merchants generally held higher-status posts—and shows that, unlike other areas of late colonial Mexico, Saltillo witnessed little conflict between creoles and peninsulars. The growing significance of this town and region exemplifies the increasing complexity of Mexico's social, economic, and political landscape in the late colonial era, and it anticipates the phenomenon of regionalism that has characterized the nation since Independence. Offutt's study reassesses traditional assumptions regarding the social and economic marginality of this trading center, and it offers scholars of Mexican and borderlands studies alike a new way of looking at this important region.
