Download or read book Fruteros written by Rocío Rosales and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the social worlds of young Latino street vendors as they navigate the complexities of local and federal laws prohibiting both their presence and their work on street corners. Known as fruteros, they sell fruit salads out of pushcarts throughout Los Angeles and are part of the urban landscape. Drawing on six years of fieldwork, Rocío Rosales offers a compelling portrait of their day-to-day struggles. In the process, she examines how their paisano (hometown compatriot) social networks both help and exploit them. Much of the work on newly arrived Latino immigrants focuses on the ways in which their social networks allow them to survive. Rosales argues that this understanding of ethnic community simplifies the complicated ways in which social networks and social capital work. Fruteros sheds light on those complexities and offers the concept of the “ethnic cage” to explain both the promise and pain of community.

Download or read book The Many Deaths of Danny Rosales and Other Plays written by Carlos Morton and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 1983-12-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Carlos MortonÍs first collection of plays, the fruit of a ten-year journey that took him from the turmoil of agit-prop theatre to a fellowship with the National Repertory Theatre and advanced academic degrees in drama. The works included here have been produced before audiences, which have varied from San Diego Park pedestrians to Harvard University faculty and students. In his lighter works, Morton has proven himself to be the master of the incongruous, the prince of satire and the poet laureate of the unexpected and comic in daily speech. His serious plays, like The Many Deaths of Danny Rosales, confront audiences with gripping appeals for justice. Whether as a humorist or a tragedian, one note characterizes MortonÍs works: unfettered, expansive imagination.
Download or read book Chicano The History of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement written by F. Arturo Rosales and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chicano! The History of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement is the most comprehensive account of the arduous struggle by Mexican Americans to secure and protect their civil rights. It is also a companion volume to the critically acclaimed, four-part documentary series of the same title, which is now available on video from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Both this published volume and the video series are a testament to the Mexican American communityÍs hard-fought battle for social and legal equality as well as political and cultural identity. Since the United States-Mexico War, 1846-1848, Mexican Americans have striven to achieve full rights as citizens. From peaceful resistance and violent demonstrations, when their rights were ignored or abused, to the establishment of support organizations to carry on the struggle and the formation of labor unions to provide a united voice, the movement grew in strength and in numbers. However, it was during the 1960s and 1970s that the campaign exploded into a nationwide groundswell of Mexican Americans laying claim, once and for all, to their civil rights and asserting their cultural heritage. They took a name that had been used disparagingly against them for yearsChicanoand fashioned it into a battle cry, a term of pride, affirmation and struggle. Aimed at a broad general audience as well as college and high school students, Chicano! focuses on four themes: land, labor, educational reform and government. With solid research, accessible language and historical photographs, this volume highlights individuals, issues and pivotal developments that culminated in and comprised a landmark period for the second largest ethnic minority in the United States. Chicano! is a compelling monument to the individuals and events that transformed society.

He has superhero fantasies, hangs around with the neighborhood kids, smokes cigarettes, tells very lame jokes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rosales House is a contemporary novel about Claire Rosales, a twenty-eight year old advertising executive in Singapore, who hails from a powerful political clan in the Philippines. Claire's orderly life in Singapore is disrupted by the death of her influential grandmother Gloria Rosales. With Gloria's demise, Claire loses her constant support and her strongest pillar especially after her broken wedding engagement. Moreover, the Rosales estate is now divided and the clan will have to rely more on Claire's uncle, Ric, a congressman, for their public face. Claire knows only too well, though, that Ric is not the charismatic family man he pretends to be. At Christmas, Claire masks her grief and goes about her duties just like everyone else in her clan. On this trip though, she sees her parents, Dino and Anna, in a new light. Dino, quiet and introverted, effectively manages Buena Vista, a vast farmland that he inherits from Gloria. Anna steps up and becomes actively involved in farm activities. Claire starts to feel hopeful, but she then discovers a family secret that shatters her sense of identity--Claire is not the daughter of Dino and Anna, but of Ric and a yet unknown woman. Claire searches for her biological mother and ultimately locates a Melanie Montero in New York. But while Melanie seems warm and welcoming, Claire feels that she will always be an outsider in Melanie's tight-knit family. The truth about Claire and her meeting Melanie cannot be revealed to the rest of the Rosales clan yet because of a threat to Ric's re-election bid, a setback that can further diminish the Rosales's social standing, which has started to erode since Gloria's death. Before this can be resolved, the clan is beset by new scandals that drives Claire to avoid the Rosales House altogether. After all she has her own neat life in Singapore and it's high time she starts her own family...away from the chaos of the Rosales House. A few years later, in yet another election season, Claire's relatives urge her to help in rebuilding the clan's reputation. This time around it is not for Ric who himself has not returned to Valle Viejo after an earlier loss, but for JM, Claire's cousin/ half-brother, who runs for a seat in congress in an attempt to restore the shattered Rosales image. On election eve, the clan spontaneously gathers at Buena Vista partly to escape the tension at the Rosales House. Claire stands under one of the sturdy trees that have survived past storms as she surveys her clan, all three generations of them. She is confident that the Rosales name, though without Ric, its supposed-pillar, will rise anew for the younger generation--just like the trees that now stand tall as though guarding Buena Vista.

Download or read book Francis A Pope for Our Time written by Luis Rosales and published by Humanix Books. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church has been undoubtedly going through a period of profound crisis. Endless scandals and conspiracies have plagued the Church in recent years, and with resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in February 2013, the Catholic community was left in dire need of direction and spiritual renewal. Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio, elected to Saint Peter’s Throne on March 13, 2013, in one of the briefest conclaves in history, represents a rekindled sense of hope for the Church’s 1.2 billion followers. The first Jesuit to occupy the papacy, Pope Francis I is also the first pope ever to hail from the Americas, and has inspired an enormous sense of pride, especially among Latin Americans and his native Argentina. Francis: A Pope for Our Time, The Definitive Biography incisively chronicles Pope Francis’ ancestry, youth, call to faith, humble beginnings with the Society of Jesus, and rise through Argentina’s ecclesiastical ranks, all the way to the Vatican. The book emphasizes His Holiness’ Jesuit background of humility, poverty, and service that stands to reform the Vatican’s long history of lavish excess and removed otherworldly style of leadership. This concise biography also details Jorge Bergoglio’s coming of age during the Peronist years, the challenges he faced throughout Argentina’s brutal military dictatorship, as well as his political stance against the progressive policies of the Kirchners. Known as the “Black Pope” (for his Jesuit garb), the “Pope of the Poor,” and the “Third World Pope,” such monikers exemplify Pope Francis’ original and primary mandate: his pastoral commitment to society’s most underprivileged and disenfranchised. His dedication to interreligious dialogue, accessibility to his community, and rejection of pomp in favor of simplicity promises to bring real-world leadership to a modern Church desperate to emerge from old-world precepts.
