Book excerpt: Ria es bonita, rica, delgada y popular. Si sólo la conocieras de la escuela, pensarías que tiene una vida de ensueño. Pero de repente todo cambia para ella. El matrimonio supuestamente perfecto de sus padres se ha roto y antes de que Ria tenga tiempo de hacerse a la idea, su padre desaparece en un accidente aéreo. Y todo empeora cuando empiezan los rumores de que tal vez él no era el hombre—ni el padre—que todos creían. Ria decide que tiene que tomar medidas desesperadas para protegerse a sí misma, a su hermano menor y la reputación de su padre. Ria is rich, slim, pretty, popular. You'd think she led a charmed life—and until recently you'd have been right. But her situation has taken a sudden, unfortunate change. Her parents' seemingly perfect marriage has broken up, and before she's had a chance to absorb the blow, her beloved father disappears in a plane crash. What's worse, rumors begin to surface that he may have perpetrated a multimillion-dollar investment scam and everybody—Ria's mother, her best friends, even her boyfriend—believes them. Ria sees no choice but to take her little brother and run. She vows to keep the memory of her father alive. Soon, though, she begins to wonder: is her memory playing tricks on her—or is he?

Download or read book Latinos in Israel written by Alejandro I. Paz and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos in Israel charts the unexpected ways that non-citizen immigrants become potential citizens. In the late 1980s Latin Americans of Christian background started arriving in Israel as labor migrants. Alejandro Paz examines the ways they perceived themselves and were perceived as potential citizens during an unexpected campaign for citizenship in the mid-2000s. This ethnographic account describes the problem of citizenship as it unfolds through language and language use among these Latinos both at home and in public life, and considers the different ways by which Latinos were recognized as having some of the qualities of citizens. Paz explains how unauthorized labor migrants quickly gained certain limited rights, such as the right to attend public schools or the right to work. Ultimately engaging Israelis across many such contexts, Latinos, especially youth, gained recognition as citizens to Israeli public opinion and governing politics. Paz illustrates how language use and mediatized interaction are under-appreciated aspects of the politics of immigration, citizenship, and national belonging.

Download or read book The Dog Who Spoke and More Mayan Folktales written by James D. Sexton and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the delightful Mayan folktale The Dog Who Spoke, we learn what happens when a dog’s master magically transforms into a dog-man who reasons like a man but acts like a dog. This and the other Mayan folktales in this bilingual collection brim with the enchanting creativity of rural Guatemala’s oral culture. In addition to stories about ghosts and humans turning into animals, the volume also offers humorous yarns. Hailing from the Lake Atitlán region in the Guatemalan highlands, these tales reflect the dynamics of, and conflicts between, Guatemala’s Indian, Ladino, and white cultures. The animals, humans, and supernatural forces that figure in these stories represent Mayan cultural values, social mores, and history. James D. Sexton and Fredy Rodríguez-Mejía allow the thirty-three stories to speak for themselves—first in the original Spanish and then in English translations that maintain the meaning and rural inflection of the originals. Available in print for the first time, with a glossary of Indian and Spanish terms, these Guatemalan folktales represent generations of transmitted oral culture that is fast disappearing and deserves a wider audience.

Download or read book Ima and Coli Are the Tree That Was Never a Seed written by Alejandro Pérez-Cortés and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new winner of the Paz Prize for Poetry, granted by the National Poetry Series, is the author’s impressionistic homage to his hometown of Colima, Mexico. “In this remarkable bilingual debut . . . Pérez-Cortés cracks open the name of his hometown, Colima, to generate a vast mythology . . . The side-by-side presentation of the original Spanish and its English translation adds another layer to this engrossing volume.” —Booklist A Poets & Writers Page One Selection Ima and Coli Are the Tree That Was Never a Seed is Alejandro Pérez-Cortés’s personal genesis of Colima, Mexico, published here in both English and Spanish. The tree is an element/character in the book that appears and disappears throughout. Some poems are set in an ancient pre-Hispanic Colima; others reflect the reality of a modern-day Colima, sadly stigmatized and eroded by violence perpetrated by the narcos. In his introduction, preeminent Cuban poet José Kozer praises Pérez-Cortés: “Ima and Coli Are the Tree That Was Never a Seed comprises a voice that I consider poetic and that should be cared for and listened to with true interest. A voice that encompasses all, one that seeks to integrate, remake, and modify normative language when necessary, and to distort language that allows a better perception of the present and of everything that is historically behind a contemporary poet.” The Paz Prize for Poetry is presented by the National Poetry Series and Miami Book Fair at Miami Dade College and is awarded biennially. Named in the spirit of the late Nobel Prize–winning poet Octavio Paz, it honors a previously unpublished book of poetry written originally in Spanish by an American resident.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CRÓNICA DE UN CANIBALSinópsisCrónica de un Caníbal es una historia de amor, de dolor y de perseverancia. Es la historia de Sebastián Mogollón, un muchacho pobre que se enamora de Beatriz una muchacha rica de ciudad Panamá. El inicio de la novela tiene lugar en ciudad Panamá, a finales de la década del los ochenta, durante el gobierno de Manuel Antonio Noriega. Luego los personajes emigran a la ciudad de Nueva york, y la novela se desarrolla en las zonas marginadas de Brooklyn y el bajo Manhattan. Es diciembre del 1989, y además de todas las barreras sociales que se interponen en los planes de Sebastián para conquistar al amor de su vida, parece que el destino conspira también contra él. Sebastián, desesperado por ganarse el cariño de Beatriz, recuerda un embrujo de amor que le había enseñado un amigo. Se ilusiona pensando que sin dudas Beatriz se rendiría ante ese sortilegio. Para su sorpresa, ella se escapa con otro de sus pretendientes a los Estados Unidos. Sebastián cae en una depresión tal, que sólo desea morirse o dormir toda una vida; no se suicida porque le falta la energía suficiente para levantarse de la cama y matarse. Rehúsa escuchar los consejos de sus padres y su hermana, y solo encuentra algún alivio a su desventura tocando la guitarra y escuchando canciones de boleros. Cuando pensaba que dentro de él no quedaba más espacio para más sufrimiento, su familia perece durante la invasión de Estados Unidos a Panamá de 1989. Sin Beatriz, y sin su familia, Sebastián pierde aun más la falta de interés por la vida. Su amigo César Ramirez le recuerda que siempre hay razón para seguir viviendo, que solo se ha perdido una batalla, pero no la guerra, y lo convence para que emigre a Los Estados Unidos. Los dos atraviesan la frontera Méjico-Estados Unidos y llegan a Williamsburg, New York, un sector plagado drogas, prostitución y violencia. Sebastián había escuchado sobre los pesares que sufren los emigrantes en Nueva York, pero nunca pensó vivirlos en carne propia. Aprender un nuevo idioma, adaptarse a nueva cultura, sobrevivir al peligro de las calles del Williamsburg, y a los inviernos de Nueva York, sin embargo no lo desanimaron a seguir buscando el tesoro que escondía los muros de esa gran ciudad. Con la paciencia de quien busca una aguja en un pajar y está dispuesto a remover cada hoja de heno hasta encontrarla, o como el cazador furtivo que en medio del bosque arma una trampa y se sienta a esperar, así Sebastián espera que el efecto de ese embrujo de amor haga su efecto en Beatriz. El tema de la novela tiene cierta similitud con El Amor en los Tiempos del Cólera de Gabriel García Márquez. Es la historia del músico pobre que se enamora de la muchacha rica. Sebastián Mogollón, al igual que Florentino Ariza, en El Amor en los Tiempos del Cólera, se enferma gravemente de amor y ambos se refugian en la música para consolarse. La perseverancia, y un amor que prevalece a través de los años es el tema principal de ambas novelas. Pero a diferencia de Florentino Ariza, Sebastián no pretende hacerse rico y famoso para poder conquistar a Beatriz. Él se conforma con mucho menos: le es suficiente con ser un mesero de un restauran, y ver a través del cristal a la gente pasar, y soñar con algún día ver a Beatriz pasar frente a él.
