Download or read book Barrio Dreams written by Silviana Wood and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the advent of Chicano teatro, dozens of groups sprang up across the country in Chicano/a communities. Since then, teatristas have been leading voices in the creation and production of plays touching minds and hearts that galvanize audiences to action. Barrio Dreams is the first book to collect the work of one of Arizona’s foremost teatristas, playwright Silviana Wood. During her decades-long involvement in theater, Wood forged a reputation as a playwright, actor, director, and activist. Her works form a testimonio of Chicana life, steeped in art, politics, and the borderlands. Wood’s plays challenge, question, and incite women to consider their lot in life. She ruptures stereotypes and raises awareness of social issues via humor and with an emphasis on the use of the physical body on stage. The play Una vez, en un barrio de sueños . . . offers a glimpse into familiar terrain—the barrio and its dwellers—in three actos. In Amor de hija, a fraught mother-daughter relationship in contemporary working-class Arizona is dealt an additional blow as the family faces Alzheimer’s disease. In the tragedy A Drunkard’s Tale of Melted Wings and Memories, and in the trilingual (Spanish, English, and Yaqui) tragicomedy Yo, Casimiro Flores, characters love, live, die, travel through time and space, and visit the afterlife. And in Anhelos por Oaxaca, a grandfather travels back in time through flashbacks, as he and his grandson travel through homelands from Arizona to Oaxaca. Part of Wood’s genius is the way she portrays life in what Gloria Anzaldúa called “el mundo zurdo,” that space inhabited by the people of color, the poor, the female, and the outsiders. It is a place for the atravesados, the odd, the different, those who do not fit the mainstream. The people who inhabit Wood’s plays are common folk—janitors, mothers, grandmothers, and teenagers—hardworking people who, in one way or another, have made their way in life and who embody life in the barrio.

Download or read book Dan Zanes House Party written by Dan Zanes and published by Young Voyageur. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dan Zanes' House Party!, the Grammy Award-winning children's artist presents a huge collection of folk songs along with inspiration to start your own family band. Too often, new parents eager to share their love of music with their young children feel their options are limited to cuddly singing dinosaurs and well-meaning humans whose understanding of children’s music starts with “Kumbaya” and ends with “Puff the Magic Dragon.” For many sane adults, these choices are more abrasive than the most aggro noise-rock of their college years. Dan Zanes has spent the past 20 years creating a truly compelling body of children's music that music-loving parents can also get behind. A former 1980s indie rocker, Zanes' 13 children's albums have gained wide praise for their authentic arrangements and preservation of America's folk traditions. In Dan Zanes' House Party!, the Grammy Award–winning Zanes has curated a rich selection of folk songs that comprise an essential musical cross-section of the American experience and its multicultural, immigrant underpinnings. The selections include the standard songs we all know and love, along with folk classics. Each song is accompanied by a brief narrative on its historical context, followed by lyrics, notation, and chords. Among the songs you'll learn to play: "Erie Canal," "Pay Me My Money Down," "Titanic," "Waltzing Matilda," "The Farmer Is the One," "Wabash Cannonball," "Sloop John B.," "Old Joe Clark," "Skip to My Lou," "King Kong Kitchie," and "We Shall Not Be Moved." Dan Zanes' House Party! also includes informational sidebars throughout to give families the basics needed to pick up instruments and learn to more fully enjoy music as a family band. And in the back of the book, you'll find chord charts for guitar, ukele, and mandolin. More than just a collection of songs, Dan Zanes’ House Party! is part music book, part history lesson, and a work that all families can enjoy—together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, the celebrated new wave band Blondie headed to Los Angeles to record a new album and along with it, the cover song “The Tide Is High,” originally written by Jamaican legend John Holt. Featuring percussion by Peruvian drummer and veteran LA session musician “Alex” Acuña, and with horns and violins that were pure LA mariachi by way of Mexico, “The Tide Is High” demonstrates just one of the ways in which Los Angeles and the music of Latin America have been intertwined since the birth of the city in the eighteenth century. The Tide Was Always High gathers together essays, interviews, and analysis from leading academics, artists, journalists, and iconic Latin American musicians to explore the vibrant connections between Los Angeles and Latin America. Published in conjunction with the Getty's Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, the book shows how Latin American musicians and music have helped shape the city’s culture—from Hollywood film sets to recording studios, from vaudeville theaters to Sunset Strip nightclubs, and from Carmen Miranda to Pérez Prado and Juan García Esquivel.

Download or read book La Int Rprete de Hern N Cort S written by Carlos Laredo and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Conquista de México, contada con todo detalle, sirve de decorado y soporte a una historia de amor y de guerra. Tras la batalla de Centla, la primera librada en el continente americano, los vencidos regalaron a los españoles un puñado de doncellas, entre las que se encontraba la que sería intérprete y amante de Hernán Cortés, doña Marina o La Malinche, como se conoce a la mujer atrevida e inteligente que desempeñó un papel decisivo en el éxito de la conquista del imperio azteca. Un "regalo" que Cortés valoró y conservó durante toda su vida. En esta novela, documentada con meticuloso rigor histórico, el autor imagina los sentimientos vacilantes de una joven india deslumbrada por la personalidad de un hombre audaz, calculador y sensible. Un amor que se sobrepone a la crudeza de las batallas, a las intrigas y traiciones, a las flaquezas y grandeza de los protagonistas y que es el hilo conductor de una narración repleta de emoción y ternura.
Download or read book 2 0 1 2 written by Hugo Enrique Reyes Devesa and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En diversos documentales que han circulado por los medios informativos e inclusive en la Internet, el 2012 aparece el año del Juicio Final o el "Hunab-Ku", según las profecías de los mayas, mencionado que la raza humana y nuestro planeta sufrirán una catástrofe de proporciones inimaginables. Estos hechos se ven vinculados a un fenómeno cósmico que ocurre cada 25, 800 años y que tendrá lugar en el solsticio de invierno del 2012, cuando la Tierra se encuentre alineada con el Sol y el centro de nuestra galaxia, la vía Láctea, donde existe un agujero negro ocasionando alteraciones en el manto terrestre y por consiguiente, en la superficie de nuestro planeta. A raíz de estos augurios que vaticinan un peligro inminente a la Tierra y a sus pobladores, los protagonistas de esta increíble aventura, se hacen a la tarea de iniciar una investigación científica que les proporcionara una información más exacta de la realidad, del peligro que estaba a punto de desatarse, y esto era a la vuelta de la esquina ya que, de ocurrir esta catástrofe, ocurriría en tan solo dos años. El resultado de dicha investigación hace que uno de ellos exponga una hipótesis aterradora y descabellada, la "supe-marea del manto terrestre" ejercida por las fuerzas gravitacionales del Sol y el agujero negro. Con la ayuda de dos geofísicos estadounidenses emprenden una odisea que inicia con la búsqueda de un lugar seguro y la creación de un refugio que pueda contener los embates apocalípticos de dicho efecto gravitacional cósmico. Sin embargo, los eventos dan inicio mucho antes de lo esperado por lo que se ven obligados a adelantar sus planes de huída y de sobrevivencia, viéndose envueltos en una serie de controversias ante las decisiones que tienen que tomar con respecto a cuántos y quiénes debían acudir a San Pedro y lo que tenían que llevar consigo. "Todo lo que inicia tiene un fin". Desde que el ser humano existe, y de acuerdo con la historia que nos habla de Oráculos y profetas, siempre ha esperado con temor el día en que llegue éste final. ¿Ficción o una realidad? ¿El año 2012 pondrá fin a la existencia del ser humano sobre la faz de la Tierra? ¿Podrá soportar nuestro planeta, y nosotros mismo, seremos capaces de sobrevivir a esta devastadora ecuación cósmica? Hugo Enrique Reyes Devesa
Download or read book Philippine Studies written by Priscelina Patajo-Legasto and published by UP Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 791 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays by Philippine and U.S.-based scholars illustrate the dynamism and complexities of the discursive field of Philippine studies as a critique of vestiges of "universalist" (Western/hegemonic) paradigms; as an affirmation of "traditional" and "emergent" cultural practices; as a site for new readings of "old" texts and "new" popular forms brought into the ambit of serious scholarship; and as a liberative space for new art and literary genres.
