Download or read book Pura vida written by Norma Lopez-Burton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pura vida (Life is good)Spanish is more than vocabulary and grammar, just as Spanish-speaking cultures are more than products and practices. In this learner-centered introductory program, the authors’ commitment to a methodology based on true-to-life experiences brings Spanish to life. Pura vida is the discovery of a Spanish-speaking world through the experiences of real people who share anecdotes and reflections on those experiences. Students relate to these people and make deeper, more meaningful connections between language and culture, and acquire Spanish with an unparalleled sense of personal engagement. In this 12-chapter introductory program, students don’t only learn Spanish for real life, but also from real life. They discover that there is not just one homogeneous Hispanic culture, but rather that each Spanish-speaking country has its own rich, unique culture and that the people who live in these countries speak one common language with different accents, characteristics, and idiosyncrasies. The program offers truly seamless integration of cultural notions and language instruction and features 100% contextualized and personalized activities.

Download or read book Agrotropolis written by J.T. Way and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Agrotropolis, historian J. T. Way traces the developments of Guatemalan urbanization and youth culture since 1983. In case studies that bring together political economy, popular music, and everyday life, Way explores the rise of urban space in towns seen as quintessentially "rural" and showcases grassroots cultural assertiveness. In a post-revolutionary era, young people coming of age on the globally inflected city street used popular culture as one means of creating a new national imaginary that rejects Guatemala's racially coded system of castes. Drawing on local sources, deep ethnographies, and the digital archive, Agrotropolis places working-class Maya and mestizo hometowns and creativity at the center of planetary urban history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, Passion and Patriotism is an intimate account of the lives and experiences of a renowned group of young Filipino patriots, the men whose propaganda campaign was a catalyst for the country's revolt against Spain. As writers, artists, and scientists who resided in Europe, they were exposed to new ideas. Reyes uses their paintings, photographs, political writings, novels, and letters to show the moral contradictions inherent in their passionate patriotism and their struggle to come to terms with the relative sexual freedom of European women, which they found both alluring and sordid.

Download or read book Enormes minucias written by Gilbert Keith Chesterton and published by Espuela de Plata. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ESTA muy temprana colección de artículos, de carácter misceláneo, editada en 1909 por la casa editorial londinense Methuen & Co. es ya, sin embargo, la tercera del gran escritor y mayor periodista inglés, G. K. Chesterton; pues con anterioridad había publicado The Defendant (1901) y All Things Considered (1908), que aparecerán también, próximamente, en esta misma editorial. Tremendous Trifles (Enormes minucias) recoge artículos aparecidos con anterioridad en el Daily News, donde Chesterton colaboró durante muchos años, y que están milagrosamente escritos sobre casi nada y sobre casi todo, del modo más chestertoniano. La única traducción española hasta el momento era la del escritor y editor Rafael Calleja, numerosas veces reeditada desde la segunda década del pasado siglo, pero un tanto incompleta. La que ahora presentamos aumentada, corregida y actualizada, a cargo de Vicente Corbi, restituye tres artículos (entre ellos el primero, que precisamente da el título al volumen) y una breve introducción del propio Chesterton que habían permanecido inéditos hasta el momento. Cuenta asimismo esta edición con un brillante prólogo del poeta Juan Lamillar. A. L.
