Pura Belpre Award Winner * "Readers will be swept up." -Publishers Weekly, starred review Esperanza thought she'd always live a privileged life on her family's ranch in Mexico. She'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home filled with servants, and Mama, Papa, and Abuelita to care for her. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California and settle in a Mexican farm labor camp. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard work, financial struggles brought on by the Great Depression, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When Mama gets sick and a strike for better working conditions threatens to uproot their new life, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances--because Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.
Download or read book Workers Control in Latin America 1930 1979 written by Jonathan C. Brown and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years between 1930 and 1979 witnessed a period of intense labor activity in Latin America as workers participated in strikes, unionization efforts, and populist and revolutionary movements. The ten original essays AEMDNMOin this volume examine sugar mill seizures in Cuba, oil nationalization and railway strikes in Mexico, the attempted revolution in Guatemala, railway nationalization and Peronism in Argentina, Brazil's textile strikes, the Bolivian revolution of 1952, Peru's copper strikes, and the copper nationalization in Chile--all important national events in which industrial laborers played critical roles. Demonstrating an illuminating, bottom-up approach to Latin American labor history, these essays investigate the everyday acts through which workers attempted to assert more control over the work process and thereby add dignity to their lives. Working together, they were able to bring shop floor struggles to public attention and--at certain critical junctures--to influence events on a national scale. The contributors are Andrew Boeger, Michael Marconi Braga, Jonathan C. Brown, Josh DeWind, Marc Christian McLeod, Michael Snodgrass, Andrea Spears, Joanna Swanger, Maria Celina Tuozzo, and Joel Wolfe.
Download or read book International Labor Organizations and Organized Labor in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Robert J. Alexander and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first scholarly work to focus exclusively on the roles of pan-regional and worldwide labor organizations in the labor movements across the nations of the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. With a career that covers over a half century, Robert J. Alexander is perhaps our foremost authority on Latin American history and politics. In International Labor Organizations and Organized Labor in Latin America and the Caribbean: A History, Alexander explores one of the most fascinating and often overlooked aspects of the Latin American labor scene he has so meticulously chronicled: the relationships between labor unions within specific nations, region wide organizations, and organized labor around the world. Alexander has written many of the cornerstone works on labor movements within the nations of Latin America, and this is his first volume to focus on the impact of international unions on Latin American labor issues. Coverage includes the AFL-offshoot Pan American Federation of Labor and the CIA-backed AIFLD; the role of the Russian Union, Profintern; European-based unions like the anti-Communist/anti-Fascist Postal Telegraph and Telephone International; and intraregional organizations like the Confederacion de Trabajadores de America Latina (CTAL)—the first attempt to form a multinational labor organization exclusively for the region.

Download or read book Performing the Transition to Democracy written by David Rodríguez-Solás and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-08 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines troupes, plays, festivals, performative practices, and audiences active during the final years of the Franco dictatorship and the beginning of the transition to democracy. This period, spanning 1968 to 1982, is considered the historical moment that most directly shaped contemporary Spanish politics and society. The dominant narrative of the Transition has long portrayed it as a normalized, non-confrontational, and consensual process steered by political elites. But the world of Spanish theater tells a very different story - one in which ordinary Spaniards played a vital role in the transition to democracy. The chapters of this book draw on censorship files, photographs, audiovisual and textual material, and the author’s own interviews with more than a dozen audience and troupe members. Using these sources, David Rodriguez-Solas examines the notable experimentation during this period with theatrical performance and music; the establishment of performing spaces and festivals; the development of touring networks as a way to evade censorship; and the creation of networks of support that opposed diverse forms of violence and repression. This study will be of great interest to students and scholars interested in theater and the cultural and political history of Spain in the 1960s and 1970s.
Download or read book Collective Memory Narratives in Contemporary Culture written by Antonella Pocecco and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from the central importance of memory in contemporary societies, this book encourages a transdisciplinary reflection on how the “presentification of the past” is never a simple reenactment but corresponds to the interaction between memory and cultural sensitiveness, present beliefs and needs, expectations, and forecasts for the future. It studies cultural (re)construction through collective stories, including academic debates, media narratives, collective mobilizations, state narratives of history, architectural reconstructions, and artistic expressions. It looks at how technological innovations have profoundly changed the practices of conservation and dissemination of collective memory, with particular reference to cultural digitization. Finally, it shows that the relevance and selection of events, the organization of connections and cross-references between past, present, and future, as well as the importance of diversified collective imaginaries are the keys to narrative constructions of memory that prove to be sensitive and decisive for its continuity and its intergenerational transmission. This interdisciplinary collection is for students and scholars of the social sciences, cultural studies, and the humanities interested in memory studies.

Download or read book Madrid 1931 1934 written by Santos Juliá and published by Siglo XXI Ediciones. This book was released on 1984 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A los trabajos que sobre la 11 República española ha publicado Santos Juliá se añade ahora este libro que obtuvo el premio “Ortega y Gasset” Villa de Madrid (1982). En él se intenta reconstruir minuciosamente el proceso y los determinantes que convirtieron la fiesta popular con que Madrid celebró la instauración de la República en el abierto enfrentamiento de clases que caracterizó la vida madrileña durante el invierno de 1933-34. A la par, y por el hecho de reconstruir este proceso en un espacio reducido -una ciudad- aunque sumamente significativo -Madrid-, el autor propone un modelo de interpretación de las luchas de clases urbanas durante la 11 República que, más allá de sus determinantes políticos, tenga en cuenta el propio desarrollo de la ciudad, las transformaciones de su estructura, los procesos migratorios, la crisis que afectó a sus principales industrias, el tipo de sus organizaciones obreras y patronales y, en fin, la dinámica de los discursos y las prácticas de clase. De acuerdo con esos presupuestos metodológicos, el libro concede una atención especial a la fiesta como momento fundante de la República para desembocar, tras el análisis de la cristalización de conciencias enfrentadas de clase, en el estudio de las diferentes formas de lucha de los dos sindicatos obreros y las distintas agrupaciones patronales. El “pueblo todo entero” que aparece como sujeto del primer capítulo del libro se convertirá, durante este corto y denso proceso, en el “frente obrero” y el “bloque patronal” que aparecen radicalmente enfrentados en su última parte. Santos Juliá es profesor del Departamento de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología de la UNED. Ha publicado, en diversas revistas y obras colectivas, una veintena de artículos sobre temas relacionados con la II República y es autor de La izquierda del, PSOE, 1935-36 y de Orígenes del Frente Popular en España, aparecidos en esta misma editorial.
Download or read book The Power of Entrepreneurs written by Mercedes Cabrera and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Spain is an important member of the EU, relatively little is known about its economy and its interrelationship with political forces. This book, the first of its kind, offers a long-term view and analyzes this ever-changing relationship throughout the 20th century with its various upheavals such as the crisis of the democratic republic and the civil war in the 1930s, the long General Franco dictatorship from the 1940s until the 1970s and the subsequent transition to democracy. From the detailed studies of individual cases, specific companies as well as entrepreneurial organizations, a very diverse picture emerges, contradicting widespread simplistic interpretations of politico-economic linkages, which demonstrates both the pluralism of the economic interests as well as the complexity of their relationship to the political class.

Download or read book Miguel de Unamuno s political writings 1918 1924 El absolutismo en acecho 1921 1922 written by Miguel de Unamuno and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unamuno, known as novelist, poet, essayist, and philosopher, was also passionately interested in the political development of Spain, and devoted much time to expressing his political ideas in thousands of articles for the Spanish and foreign press. Most of these were omitted from both editions of his Complete Works, and although several editions of articles have appeared in recent years, there is still a great deal of material which is still unavailable. The articles in this volume reflect both the persistence of Unamuno's campaign against politicians and royals and the complex picture of political, regional, and social tensions in post-bellum Spain. The original articles are in Spanish, the introduction, notes, and appendices in English.
