Download or read book Cuban migr s and Independence in the Nineteenth Century Gulf World written by Dalia Antonia Muller and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the violent years of war marking Cuba's final push for independence from Spain, over 3,000 Cuban emigres, men and women, rich and poor, fled to Mexico. But more than a safe haven, Mexico was a key site, Dalia Antonia Muller argues, from which the expatriates helped launch a mobile and politically active Cuban diaspora around the Gulf of Mexico. Offering a new transnational vantage on Cuba's struggle for nationhood, Muller traces the stories of three hundred of these Cuban emigres and explores the impact of their lives of exile, service to the revolution and independence, and circum-Caribbean solidarities. While not large in number, the emigres excelled at community building, and their effectiveness in disseminating their political views across borders intensified their influence and inspired strong nationalistic sentiments across Latin America. Revealing that emigres' efforts were key to a Cuban Revolutionary Party program for courting Mexican popular and diplomatic support, Muller shows how the relationship also benefited Mexican causes. Cuban revolutionary aspirations resonated with Mexican students, journalists, and others alarmed by the violation of constitutional rights and the increasing conservatism of the Porfirio Diaz regime. Finally, Muller follows emigres' return to Cuba after the Spanish-American War, their lives in the new republic ineluctably shaped by their sojourn in Mexico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filón; el personaje de esta novela, emprende una cruzada en contra de un mundo que se ha sumergido en una total crisis de proporciones apocalípticas, llevado por sus lecturas de metafísica y alquimia tradicional, se vuelve loco, y rompe con todo lo establecido en los tiempos modernos, en una suerte de profeta callejero, predicando el advenimiento de la Edad de Oro, lo que lo lleva a ser perseguido como enemigo número uno del establishment, y de la Bestia; que lo considera un loco peligroso y reo de lesa humanidad, ya que había postulado, contrariamente al pensamiento de Nietzsche, que en realidad, quien había muerto era la humanidad; y no Dios. El poder lo perseguirá, mientras la ciencia siquiátrica tratará de sicoanalizarlo para encontrar las causas de su errática locura. Filón logrará escapar entre las catacumbas de una gran persecución, refugiándose en el Árbol de la Vida, más allá del bien y del mal. Pasando por varias aventuras, hasta probar el mismo infierno.

Book excerpt: La pasión que me llevó atreves de 25 años de mi mensaje es que puedas tener LIBERTAD COMPLETA y GLORIOSA; la clase de vida que sólo el Salvador puede dar; todos los que pueda alcanzar con mi mensaje de libertad sean libres y sanados en todas sus áreas; el Poder de la Palabra de Dios puede llegar a lo más profundo del corazón y quitar toda aflicción y arrancar todas las piedras quemadas y llevarse toda cenizas del pasado. Así como los terremotos dejan al descubierto las grietas geológicas, las presiones sobre nosotros nos traen verdaderos y reacciones que ponen al descubierto grietas de nuestro carácter que no siempre estamos dispuestos a admitirlo, la verdadera medida de crecimiento y madures en nuestras vidas tiene que ver con nuestro carácter. Te invito a que leas esta historia que te alentara a seguir adelante, te reto a que escribas tu nueva historia con la pluma de Dios como pasó con las tablas que el Señor dio a Moisés, que las primeras se rompieron por la desobediencia de ellos pero como en Dios siempre tendremos la segunda oportunidad, podemos tomarla y dejarlo a Él poner esos nuevos renglones de historia escritos por su pluma y te aseguro que será lo más hermosa historia que hayas vivido.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In climbing the Seven Summits, Silvia Vasquez-Lavado did nothing less than take back her own life—one brave step at a time. She will inspire untold numbers of souls with this story, for her victory is a win on behalf of all of us.”—Elizabeth Gilbert Endless ice. Thin air. The threat of dropping into nothingness thousands of feet below. This is the climb Silvia Vasquez-Lavado braves in her page-turning, pulse-raising memoir chronicling her journey to Mount Everest. A Latina hero in the elite macho tech world of Silicon Valley, privately, she was hanging by a thread. Deep in the throes of alcoholism, hiding her sexuality from her family, and repressing the abuse she’d suffered as a child, she started climbing. Something about the brute force required for the ascent—the risk and spirit and sheer size of the mountains and death’s close proximity—woke her up. She then took her biggest pain as a survivor to the biggest mountain: Everest. “The Mother of the World,” as it’s known in Nepal, allows few to reach her summit, but Silvia didn’t go alone. She gathered a group of young female survivors and led them to base camp alongside her. It was never easy. At times hair-raising, nerve-racking, and always challenging, Silvia remembers the acute anxiety of leading a group of novice climbers to Everest’s base, all the while coping with her own nerves of summiting. But, there were also moments of peace, joy, and healing with the strength of her fellow survivors and community propelling her forward. In the Shadow of the Mountain is a remarkable story of heroism, one which awakens in all of us a lust for adventure, an appetite for risk, and faith in our own resilience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are moments when a story shakes you...Barely Missing Everything is one of those stories, and Mendez, a gifted storyteller with a distinct voice, is sure to bring a quake to the literary landscape.” —Jason Reynolds, New York Times bestselling author of Long Way Down In the tradition of Jason Reynolds and Matt de la Peña, this heartbreaking, no-holds-barred debut novel told from three points of view explores how difficult it is to make it in life when you—your life, brown lives—don’t matter. Juan has plans. He’s going to get out of El Paso, Texas, on a basketball scholarship and make something of himself—or at least find something better than his mom Fabi’s cruddy apartment, her string of loser boyfriends, and a dead dad. Basketball is going to be his ticket out, his ticket up. He just needs to make it happen. His best friend JD has plans, too. He’s going to be a filmmaker one day, like Quentin Tarantino or Guillermo del Toro (NOT Steven Spielberg). He’s got a camera and he’s got passion—what else could he need? Fabi doesn’t have a plan anymore. When you get pregnant at sixteen and have been stuck bartending to make ends meet for the past seventeen years, you realize plans don’t always pan out, and that there are some things you just can’t plan for… Like Juan’s run-in with the police, like a sprained ankle, and a tanking math grade that will likely ruin his chance at a scholarship. Like JD causing the implosion of his family. Like letters from a man named Mando on death row. Like finding out this man could be the father your mother said was dead. Soon Juan and JD are embarking on a Thelma and Louise­—like road trip to visit Mando. Juan will finally meet his dad, JD has a perfect subject for his documentary, and Fabi is desperate to stop them. But, as we already know, there are some things you just can’t plan for…

Book excerpt: INTIHUATANA Del Quechua: Donde se Ata al Sol El tiempo no es más que espacio entre recuerdos de vida. Una vida de renacer diario que nos conlleva a aprender una sucesión de lecciones. Pasan los años como peldaños desde donde puedo ver mejor lo absurdo, lo verosimil, lo verdadero de lo vivido, en un tiempo que realmente no pasa. Pasamos nosotros que no encontramos el escondite para el elemento tiempo que nos devora hasta desaparecernos y sustituirnos entre sus fauces del plano de este mundo, más tenemos algo eterno dentro de nosotros que el tiempo no logra corroer porque no pertenece a este mundo y tiene una gran fuerza : el espíritu. Les dejo algunas memorias de unas porciones en del espacio de mi tiempo , del Intihuatana de mi vida. Con mucho cariño, espero que la disfruten. Salud!. Intihuatana es una misteriosa escultura irregular, localizada a un extremo del Templo de las Tres Ventanas, un obervatorio Inca de la Ciudad de Macchupicchu en Perú, considerada una de las maravillas del mundo. Cuenta la Leyenda Inca, que Intihuatana era utilizado para amarrar al Sol, en un esfuerzo por evitar que se fuera, o quizá sólo para alargar el día y estirar las horas de luz. El Sol era considerado el Padre y Dios de los Incas e Intihuatana era una roca labrada ubicada en casi todas las cudades incas. Con la llegada de los españoles al Perú todas las Intihuatanas fueron destruidas permaneciendo en el tiempo solo la que existe hoy en Macchupicchu. María Belén (Maribé) escucha últimamente indefi nibles sonidos en el sótano de su casa donde por años nadie ha descendido.

La reconocen como su antepasada. La curiosidad las distrae del objetivo por el que están en el lugar. Se entretienen leyendo rápidamente, resumiendo páginas. Tess tiene muchas cosas expresadas en papel. Casi toda una vida. Se emocionan compartiendo sus letras y vivencias . Pero no están solas. Alguien más que se manifi esta de modo incomprensible. Poco a poco se dan cuenta que son prisioneras de la realidad de si mismas y desearán escapar y vivir una nueva vida. Lo lograrán?

Download or read book De Tripas un C Razon written by Jose Antonio Velasquez Ochoa and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NUESTRO OBJETIVO Esta historia es un homenaje a todos aquellos que han superado desventajas: físicas, económicas y sociales; es también un homenaje a quienes apoyan a los que tienen menos, para que puedan seguir adelante. De allí el nombre "DE TRIPAS, UN CORAZON" (de algo que NO vale se puede HACER algo de valor). Esta novela tiene sus principios en una terrible tragedia, cuando en el año 1970, el Personaje Adán Rodríguez, un joven latino que perdió a su madre, quien era su único sostén y por esas circunstancias de la vida, se encontró con un muchacho de la calle, personificado por Roco Santer. Estos dos muchachos destinados a perder llegaron al pequeño apartamento del "Pastor Elías" y "Ela Cosme", quienes a pesar de sus limitados recursos económicos no los rechazaron, inculcándoles que la FE es: Confiar y trabajar fuerte con los talentos que tenemos, creer que si se puede y que las desventajas son bendiciones envueltas en papeles toscos. Todos tenemos la alternativa de dejar lo que encontramos: Como está... Peor... o Mejor. "EL PUEBLO SIN VISION PERECE"- dice El LIBRO de los LIBROS. José Antonio Velásquez Ochoa
