Download or read book Working Women into the Borderlands written by Sonia Hernández and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Working Women into the Borderlands, author Sonia Hernández sheds light on how women’s labor was shaped by US capital in the northeast region of Mexico and how women’s labor activism simultaneously shaped the nature of foreign investment and relations between Mexicans and Americans. As capital investments fueled the growth of heavy industries in cities and ports such as Monterrey and Tampico, women’s work complemented and strengthened their male counterparts’ labor in industries which were historically male-dominated. As Hernández reveals, women laborers were expected to maintain their “proper” place in society, and work environments were in fact gendered and class-based. Yet, these prescribed notions of class and gender were frequently challenged as women sought to improve their livelihoods by using everyday forms of negotiation including collective organizing, labor arbitration boards, letter writing, creating unions, assuming positions of confianza (“trustworthiness”), and by migrating to urban centers and/or crossing into Texas. Drawing extensively on bi-national archival sources, newspapers, and published records, Working Women into the Borderlands demonstrates convincingly how women’s labor contributions shaped the development of one of the most dynamic and contentious borderlands in the globe.

Book excerpt: The Four Loves is a 1960 book by C. S. Lewis which explores the nature of love from a Christian and philosophical perspective through thought experiments. The book was based on a set of radio talks from 1958 which had been criticized in the U.S. at the time for their frankness about sex. C.S. Lewis examines storge or empathy love; philia, friendship love; eros, romantic love; and agape, or God love. Excerpt: "GOD is love," says St. John. When I first tried to write this book I thought that his maxim would provide me with a very plain highroad through the whole subject. I thought I should be able to say that human loves deserved to be called loves at all just in so far as they resembled that Love which is God."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las multitudes argentinas (1899), de José María Ramos Mejía, es un estudio de psicología colectiva influido por Psychologie des foules, de Le Bon. A partir de un sociologismo evolucionista, Ramos analiza la dimensión social y política de la inmigración masiva y la gobernabilidad de las masas, y aplica los preceptos positivistas a la historia social. "Las obras de Ramos Mejía (Argentina, 1842-1914), Juan Agustín García (Argentina, 1862-1923) y Jorge Basadre (Perú, 1903-1980) abrieron el camino hacia una nueva historia de Hispanoamérica, hacia una historia social. Tienen las virtudes y los defectos de toda obra fundacional: imprecisión terminológica, manejo de conceptos determinados por las corrientes de la época. Los historiadores que no las tuvieron en cuenta pasaron por alto una riqueza que a ellos mismos les hubiera correspondido rectificar, acrecentar y perfilar. Esa omisión es aún recuperable. Pero la recuperación solo es posible cuando se tenga una visión transparente de nuestro pasado cultural y de nuestra historia, es decir, una visión que no solo censure y que cuando lo haga no confunda la censura con la condena; una visión que no crea que la generosidad en la apreciación de una obra del pasado es necesariamente apología o ignorancia de la última moda. Las creaciones literarias y científicas son inevitablemente efímeras, pero el reconocimiento de la fugacidad no puede inducir a creer que lo que es pasado para una o dos generaciones carece de suscitaciones para las generaciones posteriores, de las que se supone que tienen una perspectiva más amplia." Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot
Download or read book Suite Francaise written by Irene Nemirovsky and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-03-18 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the early 1940s, when Ukrainian-born Irène Némirovsky began working on what would become Suite Française—the first two parts of a planned five-part novel—she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz: a month later she was dead at the age of thirty-nine. Two years earlier, living in a small village in central France—where she, her husband, and their two small daughters had fled in a vain attempt to elude the Nazis—she’d begun her novel, a luminous portrayal of a human drama in which she herself would become a victim. When she was arrested, she had completed two parts of the epic, the handwritten manuscripts of which were hidden in a suitcase that her daughters would take with them into hiding and eventually into freedom. Sixty-four years later, at long last, we can read Némirovsky’s literary masterpiece The first part, “A Storm in June,” opens in the chaos of the massive 1940 exodus from Paris on the eve of the Nazi invasion during which several families and individuals are thrown together under circumstances beyond their control. They share nothing but the harsh demands of survival—some trying to maintain lives of privilege, others struggling simply to preserve their lives—but soon, all together, they will be forced to face the awful exigencies of physical and emotional displacement, and the annihilation of the world they know. In the second part, “Dolce,” we enter the increasingly complex life of a German-occupied provincial village. Coexisting uneasily with the soldiers billeted among them, the villagers—from aristocrats to shopkeepers to peasants—cope as best they can. Some choose resistance, others collaboration, and as their community is transformed by these acts, the lives of these these men and women reveal nothing less than the very essence of humanity. Suite Française is a singularly piercing evocation—at once subtle and severe, deeply compassionate and fiercely ironic—of life and death in occupied France, and a brilliant, profoundly moving work of art.
