Download or read book Rediscovering Cuba written by Jorge Reyes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the riveting story of a family's trip to their native land of Cuba. In 1998, the author was informed of his grandmother's terminal illness. Curious to unravel the mystery that for many years has enshrouded Cuba, he convinced his mother and aunt to accompany him and revisit their native land, the country they had left behind forty and twenty years, respectively. This book, part diary, part memoir, is based on this memorable and nostalgic trip. We are taken to Santiago de Cuba and to Boniato, a small town on the outskirts of the city rumored to have been built atop an old Indian cemetery. Along the way, we meet colorful characters and eccentric family members set against a rich background of folklore, local color and politics: we meet the author's aunt Mimi who as a girl thought a cow was her mother; his great grandmother who died of a stroke after arguing with a flock of pigeons; and even ghosts rumored to haunt his small family house in Boniato.
Download or read book Visible Ruins written by Mónica M. Salas Landa and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the failures of the Mexican Revolution through the visual and material records. The Mexican Revolution (1910–1920) introduced a series of state-led initiatives promising modernity, progress, national grandeur, and stability; state surveyors assessed land for agrarian reform, engineers used nationalized oil for industrialization, archaeologists reconstructed pre-Hispanic monuments for tourism, and anthropologists studied and photographed Indigenous populations to achieve their acculturation. Far from accomplishing their stated goals, however, these initiatives concealed violence, and permitted land invasions, forced displacement, environmental damage, loss of democratic freedom, and mass killings. Mónica M. Salas Landa uses the history of northern Veracruz to demonstrate how these state-led efforts reshaped the region's social and material landscapes, affecting what was and is visible. Relying on archival sources and ethnography, she uncovers a visual order of ongoing significance that was established through postrevolutionary projects and that perpetuates inequality based on imperceptibility.
Download or read book M xico al chile written by Fabián Giles and published by Fabián Giles. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dicen que segundas partes nunca han sido buenas, (pero que la excepción son El Padrino II y El Imperio Contraataca) y aunque este es un libro y no una película, todo parece indicar que esta segunda parte de México al chile, el libro que muchos políticos y empresarios NO quieren que lean y lo han descontinuado, contiene mucho más picante y acidez que su antecesor. Desde las controvertidas elecciones de 2012 hasta los sucesos mediáticos del 2013, Fabián Giles vuelve a mostrar porque el humor y la política son ingredientes necesarios para condimentar la vida nacional. Aderezados con una buena dosis de fotomontajes ventilados por los medios actuales como las redes sociales y el internet que le han ayudado a transmitir las ideas para hacer reflexión de lo que nos sucede, y aunque a veces nos haga llorar, pero de la risa, con tantas tonterías que vemos a diario hacer a la clase política que no nos dicen las cosas como todos quisieramos: Al chile. Agárrense fuerte porque este libro viene doblemente entrón pues si se quedaron más que picados con lo anterior: Tómenlo con calma y siéntense a leerlo antes de que a éste también lo descontinúen...

De acuerdo con el autor de este libro, nuestro cerebro desarrolla determinadas estrategias o atajos mentales que nos permiten elegir de manera casi automática entre las opciones que se nos ofrecen. Ello nos ayuda a enfrentar la realidad de una manera más rápida y eficiente. Sin embargo, esta manera de proceder también oculta sus desventajas. Para Wray Herbert, las decisiones instintivas basadas en la costumbre no siempre son las mejores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Can a Pot Say About a Kettle? A Play By: Craig Attaway What Can a Pot Say About a Kettle? A Play by: Craig Anthony Attaway is the story of a heavy-handed single mother of three young men. Her name is Ms. LuPearl. Not only does LuPearl have the weight of the world on her shoulders, the burden that all mothers bear, she’s also hampered by maternal instinct to navigate her three now adult sons through the many pitfalls of life. This navigation is less solicited than unsolicited. LuPearl’s eldest, Donovan (twenty-eight) is away in the military and owes $10,000 in child-support. Her middle son, Franklin, (twenty-three) is an over-achieving college R.O.T.C. cadet who only returns home for funerals. Then her youngest, Zharquaviyont, (seventeen) struggles with sexual identity issues. He has no future plans whatsoever. LuPearl’s ex-husband, whom she divorced many years ago, has passed away and designated her the executor of his will and funeral arrangements… much to the displeasure of her four former sisters-in-law. However, fret not for Ms. LuPearl. For she is a worshiper.
