Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corazón Abierto: Mexican American Voices in Texas Music provides a wide view of the myriad contributions Mexican American artists have made to music in Texas and the United States. Based on interviews with longtime stalwarts of Mexican American music—Flaco Jiménez, Tish Hinojosa, Ernie Durawa, Rosie Flores, and others—and also conversations with newer voices like Lesly Reynaga, Marisa Rose Mejia, Josh Baca, and many more, Kathleen Hudson allows the musicians to tell their own stories in a unique and personal way. As the artists reveal in their free-ranging discussions with Hudson, their influences go far beyond traditionally Mexican genres like conjunto, norteño, and Tejano to extend into rock, jazz, country-western, zydeco, and many other styles. Hudson’s survey also includes essays, poetry, and other creative works by Dagoberto Gilb, Sandra Cisneros, and others, but the core of the book consists of what she describes as “a collection of voices from different locations in Texas. . . . Some represent voices from the edge, while others give us a view from the center.” Weaving together a tapestry that combines “family, borders, creativity, music, food, and community,” the book presents an image as varied and difficult to define as the musicians themselves. By sharing the artists’ accounts of their influences, their experiences, their family stories, and their musical and cultural journeys, Corazón Abierto reminds us that borders can be gateways, that differences enrich, rather than isolate.

Download or read book Open Heart written by Elvira Lindo and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intimate family novel that follows the rise and fall of a great love is also a moving tribute to the generation that struggled to survive in Spain after the Civil War. In Open Heart, Elvira Lindo tells the story of her parents—the story of an excessive love, passionate and unstable, forged through countless fights and reconciliations, which had a profound effect on their entire family. Manuel Lindo came from nothing, but stubbornly worked his way up at the Dredging and Construction Company. Obliged to move from city to city for his job, the family couldn’t put down roots, and Elvira and her siblings’ childhood was marked by unpredictability. As they pass through temporary homes, they’re caught between Manuel’s outsized temper and their young mother’s worsening illness, which would tragically take her life. Beginning with nine-year-old Manuel’s experience in Madrid in 1939, Open Heart takes us on a sweeping journey through Spain full of beautifully observed insights about love in its many forms.

Download or read book Contemporary Latina o Media written by Arlene M. Dávila and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural politics creating and consuming Latina/o mass media. Just ten years ago, discussions of Latina/o media could be safely reduced to a handful of TV channels, dominated by Univision and Telemundo. Today, dramatic changes in the global political economy have resulted in an unprecedented rise in major new media ventures for Latinos as everyone seems to want a piece of the Latina/o media market. While current scholarship on Latina/o media have mostly revolved around important issues of representation and stereotypes, this approach does not provide the entire story. In Contemporary Latina/o Media, Arlene Dávila and Yeidy M. Rivero bring together an impressive range of leading scholars to move beyond analyses of media representations, going behind the scenes to explore issues of production, circulation, consumption, and political economy that affect Latina/o mass media. Working across the disciplines of Latina/o media, cultural studies, and communication, the contributors examine how Latinos are being affected both by the continued Latin Americanization of genres, products, and audiences, as well as by the whitewashing of "mainstream" Hollywood media where Latinos have been consistently bypassed. While focusing on Spanish-language television and radio, the essays also touch on the state of Latinos in prime-time television and in digital and alternative media. Using a transnational approach, the volume as a whole explores the ownership, importation, and circulation of talent and content from Latin America, placing the dynamics of the global political economy and cultural politics in the foreground of contemporary analysis of Latina/o media.
Download or read book Bachata and Dominican Identity La bachata y la identidad dominicana written by Julie A. Sellers and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachata--a guitar-based romantic music that debuted in Santo Domingo's urban shantytowns in the 1960s--is today one of the hottest Latin genres. Still, fans and musicians have not forgotten the social stigma the genre carried for decades. This book interweaves bachata's history and development with the socio-political context of Dominican identity. The author argues that its early disfavor resulted from the political climate of its origins and ties between class and race, and proposes that its ultimate acceptance as a symbol of Dominican identity arose from its innovations, the growth of the lower class, and a devoted following among Dominican migrants. La bachata--una musica de guitarra que se estreno en los barrios populares de Santo Domingo en los anos 60--hoy, es uno de los generos latinos mas populares. No obstante, sus aficionados y sus exponentes recuerdan el estigma social asociado que conllevo por decadas. Este libro entreteje la historia y el desarrollo de la bachata con el contexto socio-politico de la identidad dominicana. La autora plantea que su desaprobacion temprana resulto del clima politico en que nacio y los vinculos entre raza y clase social. Propone que su aceptacion final como simbolo de identidad dominicana surge de sus innovaciones, el crecimiento de la clase baja y sus seguidores leales entre los migrantes dominicanos.

Download or read book Fatima para hoy written by Andrew Apostoli and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Para nosotros, Fátima es una señal de la presencia de la fe, del hecho que precisamente es de los pequeños que ésta adquiere nuevas fuerzas, tales que no solamente están sujetas a los pequeños sino que contiene un mensaje para el mundo entero y toca la historia aquí y ahora, y brinda luz a esta historia." - Papa Benedicto XVI A pesar que las apariciones de Nuestra Señora de Fátima tuvieron lugar hace casi cien años, el llamado de la Virgen a la oración y la penitencia por la salvación de las almas y la paz del mundo es tan relevante hoy como cuando fue revelado a los tres niños campesinos portugueses en 1917. En la cúspide de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Nuestra Señora advirtió sobre otro conflicto en todo el mundo, el auge y expansión del Comunismo, y una terrible persecución a la Iglesia a menos que la gente se arrepintiera de sus pecados y volvieran a Dios. Además pidió devoción a su Inmaculado Corazón y una especial consagración de Rusia. Gran parte de lo que dijo Nuestra Señora de Fátima fue revelado poco después de sus apariciones, pero el tercer y último "secreto", que no era un mensaje sino una visión profética que tuvieron los niños, no se dio a conocer por el Vaticano hasta el año 2000. El Papa Juan Pablo II, quien leyó el tercer secreto mientras se recuperaba del atentado contra su vida en 1981, cree que la visión significaba los sufrimientos que la Iglesia había sufrido en el Siglo XX. Debido a la naturaleza profética de sus mensajes, Nuestra Señora de Fátima ha sido objeto de mucha controversia y especulación. En este libro, el Padre Andrew Apostoli analiza cuidadosamente los acontecimientos que ocurrieron en Fátima y aclara interrogantes e incertidumbres sobre su significado. Además desafía al lector a escuchar de nuevo la llamada de la Virgen a la oración y el sacrificio, pues el mundo necesita corazones generosos dispuestos a reparar por aquellos que están en peligro de perder su camino hacia Dios. Padre Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., miembro fundador de Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (Frailes Francisanos de la Renovación), ha estado enseñando y predicando retiros y misiones parroquiales durante algunas décadas. Es considerado uno de los principales expertos sobre las apariciones de Fátima a nivel mundial. El Padre Apóstoli es autor de numerosos libros, entre ellos Following Mary to Jesus (Siguiendo a María hacia Jesús) y Walk Humbly With Your God (Camina Humildemente con tu Dios). El Padre Apostoli es el vice-postulador de la causa de canonización del Arzobispo Fulton Sheen. Un invitado frecuente en EWTN televisión, fue el anfitrión del especial de televisión "Our Lady of Fatima and the First Saturday Devotion" (Nuestra Señora de Fátima y la devoción del Primer Sábado).
Download or read book Un Reined Soul written by El Rios Paolino and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-12 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Un-Reined Soul" is a bilingual poetry collection expressing in both English and Spanish the full spectrum, from triumph to tragedy, of the modern human experience. The overlying theme of finding the inner voice that had been dormant for many years and using those emotions to fully express the depth of the human soul is one which is universal to any who have lived, loved or lost. The inspiration for the works contained in Un-Reined Soul comes quite literally from everyday life. The poet takes moments in time and expresses them in a way that can touch the hearts, minds and souls of readers, relating to specific moments in their own lives. Readers will be uplifted by expressions of love, hope and family, experiencing awakenings of self-reflection through the poets inner most thoughts. The books opening work, Unleashed is a poem that describes the awakening of a soul that once lay dormant and the new feelings and experiences that are revealed when that place is, at last, touched by the hand of inspiration. Thief reflects on how individuals come into our lives disturbing, uncovering and exposing things we never knew had always existed below the surface, ultimately making the reader wonder who was really the Thief. Reflection is a poem of self examination and introspection. At its core, it questions the juxtaposition of others perceptions of who we are to the true self that can be found in moments of inner contemplation. Liberarme a poem in Spanish that expresses the pain felt by a heart that remains imprisoned by a lost love. Expressing the beauty and pain of life is close to the heart of El Rios Paolino, who has experienced an abundance of both in her own life and has gained a newfound perspective by putting pen to paper in the creation of Un-Reined Soul. In the heart of the poet is the desire to show each reader that there is a new corner of their soul waiting to be un-reined.
