Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As young females we are taught physics, mathematics, biology, in case you go to school; in case not, at least parents taught us our duties, transmit values and their fears, but no one gives us classes on how to manage our feelings, we are left in silence with our own thoughts, sometimes, at home, there are no explanation on how to handle disappointments, racism, misogynist mates. Parents have their own traditions, the love for us , and at the same time the ignorance of a changing world may result in our question increasing their fears and our doubts. If adults refuse to answer, and we ask our siblings they might not know, so we should investigate in various sources, books, videos, prestigious conferences, now we can find things from the most prestigious universities. But when we are kids, we learn through stories, in this book you will find many answers that different women, from childhood to youth have had, and they learnt from living their challenges and surpassing their obstacles. I hope these stories resonate in some or other way with you, and start writing your own. You will be taken to different worlds in which many different women have lived their life, from North to South, from poverty and wealth, traditions and breaking patterns, these paths are just some o many females walk and open doors to live better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Padre Eduardo Mojica, en mala hora es trasladado a un libertino pueblo donde las mujeres se habían abrogado para sí el tradicional derecho masculino de conquistar al sexo opuesto, enamorándose de una bella joven. Los hombres no le perdonan su doble moral: inquisitorial para los feligreses, laxa y libidinosa para èl; y una mañana que sale a dar un corto paseo por el pueblo, es agredido por una turba de no menos de treinta energúmenos, enviándolo al hospital con multiples fracturas y contusiones. El cura decide vengarse de sus agresores enamorando a doce de sus esposas, teniendo un hijo con once de ellas, esa, en síntesis, su venganza por partida doble: ponièndoles los “cuernos” y que le criaran un hijo suyo con todos los deberes y obligaciones que conlleva semejante responsabilidad. Pasados dos años, las mujeres descubren que fueron utilizadas por el sacerdote para llegar a sus esposos y concretar su venganza, decidiendo a su vez tomar represalias en su contra....y lo hacen.... Su hermano mayor, como irreverentemente llamaba a Jesucristo, lo abandona y se lo hace saber en la que sería la última misa ofi ciada por el sacrilego sacerdote. El padre Eduardo Mojica Castro en su postrero acto como clèrigo, lee ante el pueblo su TESTAMENTO, la última bellaquería cometida por èste cura quien al parecer estaba predestinado para alcanzar altas dignidades en El Escalafón Clerical.

Download or read book Identity Nation Discourse written by Claire Taylor and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores women’s literary and cultural production in Latin America, and suggests how such works engage with discourses of identity, nationhood, and gender. Including contributions by several prominent Latin American scholars themselves, it seeks to provide a vital insight into the analysis and reception of the works in a local context, and foster debate between Latin American and metropolitan academics. The book is divided into two sections: Women and Nationhood, and Models and Genres. The first section comprises six chapters which examines women’s responses to, and attempts to carve out space within, national discourses in a Latin American context. Spanning the nineteenth century to the present day, the chapters offer an insight into the ways in which Latin American women have constructed themselves as modern subjects of the nation, and made use of the ambiguous spaces created by modernization and national discourses. The section starts firstly with a focus on the Southern Cone, covering Chile and Argentina, and then moves geographically northward, to Colombia and Bolivia. The second section, Models and Genres, consists of six chapters that examine how women writers engage with, and critically re-work, existing literary discourses and paradigms. Considering phenomena such as detective fiction, fairy-tales, and classical mythological figures, the chapters illustrate how these genres and models–frequently coded as masculine–are given new inflections, both as a result of their deployment by women, and as a result of their re-working in a Latin American context.

This book was released on 2008-10-29 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Bolivia, el 9 de abril de 1952, despus de tres das de combates los trabajadores derrotaron al ejrcito nacional, arrebataron el poder poltico a la oligarqua e impusieron un gobierno al servicio del pueblo. Naci la Revolucin Nacional, una de las tres ms grandes realizadas en Latinoamrica durante el Siglo XX. El ensayo La Novela Revolucionaria. Contribucin a la Crtica demuestra que novellas publicadas durante el perodo pre revolucionario, provocaron cambios ideolgicos en las conciencias de los lectores populares, y de ese modo contribuyeron a la Revolucin Nacional Boliviana. Otras novelas escritas durante los aos del gobierno revolucionario, procuraron crear una conciencia en favor de una revolucin socialista. Al hacerlo instauraron un nuevo subgnero novelstico: La novela revolucionaria boliviana. El ensayo est enfocado en el anlisis dialctico de dos categoras: Historia y novela. Ofrece referencias conceptuales formuladas por tericos (Karl Marx, Georg Lukcs, Gerald Genette y Robert Jauss) que privilegian una crtica literaria basada en las interconexiones entre el desarrollo social y la cosmovisin que se expresa en las novellas que refl ejan, de uno u otro modo, dicha realidad. El ensayo precisa que la novella boliviana posee la capacidad de tomar de la vida de los trabajadores sus experiencias ms esenciales, y las expresa artsticamente. Siendo lo ms relevante el propsito de ayudarles a convertirse de una clase en s a una clase para s. El mrito del ensayo del Dr. Guido J. Arze es haber sabido demostrar que las novellas revolucionarias bolivianas ayudaron a promover la lucha armada liberadora, usndolas como vehculos de concientizacin, y con ello consagraron un nuevo subgnero: La novella revolucionaria boliviana. Novela que difi ere en cuanto a su funcin de sus semejantes las novelas de la Revolucin Mexicana y de la Revolucin Cubana.

Download or read book Intermediate Medical Spanish written by Diana Galarreta-Aima and published by BrownWalker Press. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an intermediate/advanced level textbook directed toward students who are interested in learning the necessary medical terminology and cultural sensitivity to successfully care for the U.S. Spanish-speaking community in medical contexts. This textbook is divided into 13 chapters that include medical vocabulary, dialogues between medical professionals and patients, case studies, readings on health issues that affect the Latino community, readings to deepen students’ cultural competence while working with Latino patients, and interactive and realistic activities to provide students the tools they need to effectively care for this population. This textbook is unique in the market in its cultural perspective focused on the diversity and complexity of the Latino community living in the United States. The book addresses particular health concerns that affect the Hispanic population such as specific illnesses (diabetes type 2, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, HIV/AIDS, obesity, and liver disease) as well as barriers to accessing healthcare and, at the same time, the book highlights the complexity and diversity among this population. Most medical Spanish textbooks on the market only offer lists of words and common phrases to provide basic tools of communication to healthcare workers. Intermediate Medical Spanish: A Healthcare Workers' Guide for Communicating With the Latino Patient, by contrast, is directed to learners with intermediate and advanced levels of Spanish who wish to broaden their use of the target language in medical contexts. Some of the topics covered in the textbook are: children’s health, maternal and reproductive health, diet and nutrition, mental health, and physical therapy. The book includes hundreds of vocabulary exercises and critical thinking activities pertaining to cultural awareness. The book also includes a key for some of the vocabulary exercises, a Spanish-English glossary, and a list of common medical procedures
