Download or read book Mi Voz Mi Vida written by Andrew Garrod and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the flurry of debates about immigration, poverty, and education in the United States, the stories in Mi Voz, Mi Vida allow us to reflect on how young people who might be most affected by the results of these debates actually navigate through American society. The fifteen Latino college students who tell their stories in this book come from a variety of socioeconomic, regional, and family backgrounds-they are young men and women of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central American, and South American descent. Their insights are both balanced and frank, blending personal, anecdotal, political, and cultural viewpoints. Their engaging stories detail the students' personal struggles with issues such as identity and biculturalism, family dynamics, religion, poverty, stereotypes, and the value of education. Throughout, they provide insights into issues of racial identity in contemporary America among a minority population that is very much in the news. This book gives educators, students, and their families a clear view of the experience of Latino students adapting to a challenging educational environment and a cultural context-Dartmouth College-often very different from their childhood ones.
Download or read book Algo habla con mi voz written by Vaitiere Alejandra, Rojas Manrique and published by Universidad Central. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Cómo sobrevive en Bogotá una migrante venezolana asediada por la depresión y la voz de la locura, que tiene un matrimonio resquebrajado y una niña que le seca las lágrimas, y cuya única fuente de fraternidad es la literatura? Escribe. Escribe cartas a su amigo F., en las que vierte sus ansias de habitar en las palabras, sus sueños de nefelibata, sus poemas, “relleno de papeleras” y “mariqueras suyas”, como ella llama a sus escritos. Y en estas cartas también le cuenta lo que significa salir de un país sin lugar para ella y llegar a otro en el que su nacionalidad anula su individualidad. El relato ganador del Concurso de Novela Universidad Central 2019 ilumina el vórtice de un drama social de carácter transnacional y un problema de salud pública desde la profunda intimidad de una narración en primera persona que fluye audaz y auténticamente entre la prosa epistolar y el verso libre, entre el pasado y el presente, en últimas, entre la conciencia y el abismo de aquello que se apodera de su voz.

Download or read book European Romanticism written by Stephen Prickett and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 1065 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romanticism was always culturally diverse. Though English-language anthologies have previously tended to see Romanticism as predominantly British, the term itself actually originated in Germany, where it became the banner of a Europe-wide movement involving the profound intellectual and aesthetic changes which we now associate with modernity. This anthology is the first to place British Romanticism within a comprehensive and multi-lingual European context, showing how ideas and writers interconnected across national and linguistic boundaries. By reprinting everything in the original languages, together with an English translation of all non-English material in parallel on the opposite page, it offers a new intellectual map of Romanticism. Material is thematically arranged as follows: - Art & Aesthetics - The Self - History - Language - Hermeneutics & Theology - Nature - The Exotic - Science While focusing on European texts, the inclusion of essays on their North American and Japanese reception means that Romanticism can be seen as a global phenomenon, influencing a surprising number of the ways in which the modern world sees itself.
Download or read book Nada En Absoluto written by Darielys Tejera and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El propósito de este libro es, fundamentalmente, dar esperanza a aquéllos que atraviesan por la misma situación que una vez vivió la autora Darielys Tejera. Pretende además sacar a la luz una historia con la cual el lector pueda identificarse, y crear una conciencia entre los demás de que el suicidio sí ocurre, y que cuando ocurre, la víctima nunca está sola porque hay muchos que pasan por lo mismo. A algunos se les dan talentos, mientras que otros tienen que encontrar por sí solos su razón de ser. Mis talentos los descubrí. Mi razón de ser la tuve que buscar hasta que la encontré. Mi razón de ser era y es ayudar a otros. Por eso decidí escribir este libro. Creo que todos estamos en este mundo para, en un momento u otro, de una manera o otra, salvar a alguien, aunque no siempre tengamos conciencia de ello.

Download or read book Growing Up Muslim written by Andrew Garrod and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While 9/11 and its aftermath created a traumatic turning point for most of the writers in this book, it is telling that none of their essays begin with that moment. These young people were living, probing, and shifting their Muslim identities long before 9/11. . . . I've heard it said that the second generation never asks the first about its story, but nearly all the essays in this book include long, intimate portrayals of Muslim family life, often going back generations. These young Muslims are constantly negotiating the differences between families for whom faith and culture were matters of honor and North America's youth culture, with its emphasis on questioning, exploring, and inventing one’s own destiny."—from the Introduction by Eboo Patel InGrowing Up Muslim, Andrew Garrod and Robert Kilkenny present fourteen personal essays by college students of the Muslim faith who are themselves immigrants or are the children of immigrants to the United States. In their essays, the students grapple with matters of ethnicity, religious prejudice and misunderstanding, and what is termed Islamophobia. The fact of 9/11 and subsequent surveillance and suspicion of Islamic Americans (particularly those hailing from the Middle East and the Asian Subcontinent) have had a profound effect on these students, their families, and their communities of origin.
Download or read book Mixed written by Andrew Garrod and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed presents engaging and incisive first-person experiences of what it is like to be multiracial in what is supposedly a postracial world. Bringing together twelve essays by college students who identify themselves as multiracial, this book considers what this identity means in a reality that occasionally resembles the post-racial dream of some and at other times recalls a familiar world of racial and ethnic prejudice. Exploring a wide range of concerns and anxieties, aspirations and ambitions, these young writers, who all attended Dartmouth College, come from a variety of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Unlike individuals who define themselves as having one racial identity, these students have lived the complexity of their identity from a very young age. In Mixed, a book that will benefit educators, students, and their families, they eloquently and often passionately reveal how they experience their multiracial identity, how their parents' race or ethnicity shaped their childhoods, and how perceptions of their race have affected their relationships.

Download or read book La Isla de Togo Togo written by Victor Enr Quez and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta novela es de un género dramático, ya que muchos de sus pasajes recrean el tiempo de la dictadura vivida en el país. Está llena de suspenso, de amoríos imprevistos y a la vez de grandes sucesos costumbristas. Con el infalible argumento de la poesía, en esos tiempos de percances existenciales. De una forma fascinante se escribió este libro, que consta de tres relatos cortos, agrupados en una sola novela, y relacionada a vivencias familiares. Por cierto, desde el principio hasta el final es sumamente cautivante e inspira al lector a no dejar de leerla hasta el final. Porque no sólo vemos cómo se desarrolla la poesía dentro de las historias, también descubrimos el efecto positivo de la misma, como parte íntima de su línea de cuento y su virtud figurativa. Me atrevo a dedicarla, a todas las personas que se complacen con la buena y entretenida lectura, porque la obra está llena de poesías épicas, de gracia, y de la misteriosa picardía de mi tierra Guaraní, el Paraguay. Pero sobre todo, ésta novela refleja innumerables experiencias vividas. Y mi gran deseo es que al final de la lectura, tanto el apreciado lector como yo quedemos satisfechos y nos demos un fervoroso y simbólico apretón de manos como señal de satisfacción mutua.
