Download or read book Conflicts of Interest written by MarÕa Amparo Ruiz de Burton and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, the recently discovered nineteenth-century novelist, broke many of the boundaries that circumscribed the life of both women and Hispanics in the southwestern territories of the United States. Not only was she the first Hispanic novelist to write English, but her courage and resolve took her into the circles of governmental and financial power where very few women had tread before. Conflicts of Interest captures the conflicted personality of María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, a woman pulled in different directions by tensions of class, race, gender, and nationality. The trajectory of Ruiz de Burtons life through her correspondence makes for a compelling and revealing narrative, one that brings to life the evolution of discourse and culture in the Southwest as it was becoming integrated in the United States a process which, some might argue, continues today. This volume is as complete a collection of the Ruiz de Burton letters as is possible, given the imperfect historical record. Included are various personal and business documents and a collection of articles about her family. Among her correspondents were such important historical figures as Samuel L. M. Barlow, E. W. Morse, Prudenciana Moreno, and Platón Vallejo. But this album is not a simple collection of letters and documents; rather, researchers Sánchez and Pita have made great efforts to reconstitute Ruiz de Burtons life and times through their analysis and commentary.

Download or read book Recovering the U S Hispanic Literary Heritage Volume V written by Kenya Dworkin y M?ndez and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2006-05-31 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays marks the fifteenth year of archival and critical work conducted under the auspices of the Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project at the University of Houston. This ongoing and comprehensive program seeks to locate, identify, preserve, and disseminate the literary contributions of U.S. Latinos from the Spanish Colonial Period to contemporary times. The contributors explore key issues and challenges in this project, such as the issue of its legitimacy and acceptance in teh academic canon, whether the basic archival phase of the Recovery Project is complete, and if teh assumption that there is widespread recognition of the existence and vitality of a centuries-long U.S. Hispanic literary tradition may be premature and perhaps imprudent. Originally presented at the biennial conferences of the Recovery project, the essays are divided in five sections: "Rethinking Latino/a Subject Positions," "Negotiating Cultural Authority and the Canon," "Orality, Performance, and the Archive," "Re-Contextualizing Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton," and "Bibliographic Reports." Covering a wide range of topics, essays include "Bending Chicano Identity and Experience in Arturo Isla's Early Borderland Short Stories," "Recovering Mexican America in the Classroom," and "Early New Mexican Criticism: The Case of Breve Resena de la literatura hispana de Nuevo Mexico y Colorado." In their introduction, editors Kenya Dworkin y Mendez and Agnes Lugo-Ortiz give an overview of the editorial framing of the previous volumes in the series and discuss the significant research issues and agendas raised over the past fifteen years. This volume, like the ones that precede it, is bilingual, confirming the cultural politics that have animated the Recovery Project since its inception: the understanding that the U.S. is a complex multicultural and multilingual society.

Download or read book San Diego Noir written by Maryelizabeth Hart and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern California is not all sun, sand, and surf in this gripping collection of noir tales from T. Jefferson Parker, Don Winslow, Maria Lima, and others. San Diego is home to miles of beaches, Balboa Park, a world-famous zoo, and some of the country’s most expensive home and resort real estate. Yet the city also houses a few items that aren’t actively promoted by the visitor’s bureau: a number of the country’s most corrupt politicians, border-related crimes, terrorists, and the occasional earthquakes. A noir feast! In the fifty-plus years since Raymond Chandler set Playback in Esmeralda, his name for La Jolla, the population has grown by more than a million, and crime has proliferated as well. San Diego of the past and the present offers the book’s contributors a rich selection of settings, from the cross on Mount Soledad to the piers of Ocean Beach, and perpetrators and victims from the residents of its wealthiest enclaves to the inhabitants of its segregated barrios. San Diego Noir includes stories by T. Jefferson Parker, Jeffrey J. Mariotte, Martha C. Lawrence, Diane Clark & Astrid Bear, Debra Ginsberg, Morgan Hunt, Ken Kuhlken, Taffy Cannon, Don Winslow, Cameron Pierce Hughes, Lisa Brackmann, Gabriel R. Barillas, Gar Anthony Haywood, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Maria Lima. “When it’s done right, noir is a darkly delicious thrill: smart, sharp-tongued, surprising. The knife goes in at the end with a twist. San Diego Noir, a new 15-story collection by some of the region’s best writers, has all that going for it, and the steady supply of hometown references makes it even more fun.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune

Download or read book El lenguaje del perd n written by Sixto Porras and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El amor no crece solo. Debe alimentarse cada día con palabras de afirmación, afecto, confianza y diálogo. Cuando dejamos que el rencor, la amargura y la falta de perdón se apoderen de nosotros, vamos matando el amor lentamente hasta producir un distanciamiento que se manifiesta con indiferencia, gritos, silencios que castigan y recriminaciones. El perdón es el puente que facilita el diálogo para recuperar la confianza, y fortalecer la relación. Si no pedimos perdón y no perdonamos, podríamos matar la ilusión y la alegría de vivir juntos. Recuerda… En una discusión, la mejor solución la alcanza la humildad. No acumules situaciones sin perdonar o pedir perdón. La queja, el reclamo, los insultos y la burla alejan el amor. Comunícate con amabilidad. Admite los errores. Decide cada día que darás lo mejor de ti para hacer crecer la relación. Cuando hay amor de verdad jamás Love does not grow by itself. It must be nourished daily with gentle words, trust, and good communication. When we allow hate, resentment, and lack of forgiveness to take over, we start killing love. Distance takes its place, along with indifference, yelling, demeaning silences, and reproaches. Forgiveness is the bridge that enables dialogue to regain trust and strengthen the relationship. If we don’t forgive and ask for forgiveness, we may kill the joy of sharing our lives with others. Remember… When arguing, humility brings out the best solution. Do not hold grudges without forgiving or asking for forgiveness. Complaining, insults, and mockery turn love away. Approach your partner with gentleness. Hold yourself accountable for your mistakes. To experience a flourishing relationship, you must give your best every day. When there is true love, it’s never too late to appreciate it. Today is the best day to ask for forgiveness and start all over again!

Muchos de nosotros crecimos Muchos de nosotros crecimos observando y entendiendo el amor desde lugares muy equivocados. Tuvimos como referencia a nuestros padres, nuestros abuelos y personas importantes de nuestra vida que nos dijeron qué podíamos esperar del amor y cómo amar y ser amados, pero nadie nos dio un ejemplo sano de cómo construir un amor compañero, un amor sanador. En este indispensable libro para las parejas actuales, Anamar nos confirma que para construir una pareja sana se requiere trabajo personal, buena voluntad y deseos de una comunicación sincera. Y aunque muchas de las situaciones que rodean la relación de pareja no son muy claras -nuestros modelos familiares, nuestras heridas, nuestras necesidades, nuestras creencias-, todo juega un papel importante a la hora de consolidar una unión afectiva. Sana tus heridas en pareja te brinda las herramientas para detener la dinámica tóxica que vives en tu relación de pareja y que sólo hace más dolorosas las heridas de rechazo, abandono, humillación, traición e injusticia, y te ayuda a observar la forma en que te enganchas con personas por esas heridas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ¿Why do I always attract the same type of person? ¿How do I express and receive love? ¿How can someone fall out of love so quickly? Most people had their parents or grandparents as a guiding point of how relationships should work and what to expect from a partner, but no one really explained how to build a loving, peaceful, and healing relationship. In this essential book geared towards today's couples, Anamar asserts that in order to build a healthy relationship, one must put forth a lot of work, goodwill, and be open to genuine communication. Heal Your Wounds as a Couple gives you the tools to do away with the toxic energy in your relationship, one that makes old wounds of rejection, humiliation, betrayal, and injustice more painful. Through different techniques, soul-searching exercises, and real-life examples, you will learn to let go of the pain, to identify any recurring themes in your relationship, and to heal your wounds in order to establish a mature and loving relationship.
