Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cerré mis ojos un instante frente al cielo despejado; soplaba el viento libre, deslizándose en mi rostro, acariciándome. Me invadió una sensación de ternura, imagine despegar desde la tierra hast alas Alturas; eschuche el sonido de las aves y el crujir de las hojas como un concierto que disfrute en silencio. Ese día suspire, proque sentí EL ULTIMO LATIDO DE MI MADRE, en efecto ella había muerto me quedé a su lado recordando su bella sonrisa; cerci junto a dos hermanos y una hermana, fue sensacional. Mi madre supero dos capturas, vivimos momentos de angustia; la repression y la impunidad reinaban en la década de los 70. Siendo unos pequeños, el dolor se apoderó de nuestra inocencia, la Guerra era inminente, años más tarde entraría a nuestro hogar. Nos quedamos como en un naufragio, solos en medio del terror, burlados y pisoteados por un sistema que institucionalizó la repression y atentaba contra las libertades fundamentals de la población. La guerra no solo destruye lo físico sino también el tejido social de una nación. Han pasado tantos años de la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz y es necesario que las nuevas generaciones conozcan los hechos lamentable de esa época. Las cicatrices de la guerra aún no han sanado, siguen ahi recuperándose lentamente." Roldán Alfredo Quintanilla Dimas

Book excerpt: An extraordinary retelling of the passionate and tragic love between the conquistador Cortez and the Indian woman Malinalli, his interpreter during his conquest of the Aztecs. Malinalli's Indian tribe has been conquered by the warrior Aztecs. When her father is killed in battle, she is raised by her wisewoman grandmother who imparts to her the knowledge that their founding forefather god, Quetzalcoatl, had abandoned them after being made drunk by a trickster god and committing incest with his sister. But he was determined to return with the rising sun and save her tribe from their present captivity. Wheh Malinalli meets Cortez she, like many, suspects that he is the returning Quetzalcoatl, and assumes her task is to welcome him and help him destroy the Aztec empire and free her people. The two fall passionately in love, but Malinalli gradually comes to realize that Cortez's thirst for conquest is all too human, and that for gold and power, he is willing to destroy anyone, even his own men, even their own love.

Download or read book Exploring Identity in Literature and Life Stories written by Guri Barstad and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, globalization, migration and political polarization complicate the individual’s search for a cohesive identity, making identity formation and transformation key issues in everyday life. This collection of essays highlights a number of the dimensions of identity, including cultural hybridity, religion, ethnicity, profession, gender, sexuality, and childhood, and explores how they are thematized in different narratives. The stories discussed are set in Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, France, Germany, Great Britain, Haiti, India, Israel, Japan, Polynesia, Norway, Romania, Spain and South Africa, emphasizing today’s international focus on identity. The majority of the contributions here focus on literary texts, while others investigate identity formations in interviews, language corpora, student reading logs, film, theatre and pathographies.

Download or read book The Cry of Mother Earth written by Ecosocialist Horizons and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cry of Mother Earth: Plan of Action of the Ecosocialist International recognizes and records the history and the future of the world’s first Ecosocialist International, a chorus of grief and praise for Mother Earth, and a planetary program of revolutionary action in defense of free life. It combines two historic documents, written in a collective process of loving exchange and hope, in a land that knows liberation, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The first is an invitation—an urgent summons to come together and draft a plan of action for the salvation of ourselves and the planet. It is a wish—a seed. The second is the fruit of that seed written a year later, over the course of four days with the words of over 100 delegates from five continents. It is a compass and a cradle, a map and a manifesto, for a global revolution—a return to a way of life in unity with nature.

Download or read book Affectual Erasure written by Cynthia Margarita Tompkins and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affectual Erasure examines how Argentine cinema has represented Indigenous peoples throughout a period spanning roughly a century. Cynthia Margarita Tompkins interrelates her discussion of films with the ethnographic context of the Indigenous peoples represented and an analysis of the affective dimensions at play. These emotions underscore the inherent violence of generic conventions, as well as the continued political violence preventing Indigenous peoples from access to their ancestral lands and cultural mores. Tompkins explores a broad range of movies beginning in the silent period and includes both feature films and documentaries, underscored by archival and contemporary film stills. She traces the initial erotic projection, moving through melodrama to the conventions of the Western, into the 1960s focus on decolonization, superseded by allegorical renditions and the promise of self-expression in late twentieth-century documentaries. Each section includes an introduction to the sociohistorical events of the period and their impact on film production. Analyzed chronologically, the films evidence different stages in the projection of the hegemonic Argentine imaginary, which fails to envision the daily life of Indigenous peoples prior to conquest or in colonial times—and remains in denial of their existence in the present.

Download or read book The Closed Hand written by Rebecca Riger Tsurumi and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her book, The Closed Hand: Images of the Japanese in Modern Peruvian Literature, Rebecca Riger Tsurumi captures the remarkable story behind the changing human landscape in Peru at the end of the nineteenth century when Japanese immigrants established what would become the second largest Japanese community in South America. She analyzes how non-Japanese Peruvian narrators unlock the unspoken attitudes and beliefs about the Japanese held by mainstream Peruvian society, as reflected in works written between 1966 and 2006. Tsurumi explores how these Peruvian literary giants, including Mario Vargas Llosa, Miguel Gutiérrez, Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Carmen Ollé, Pilar Dughi, and Mario Bellatin, invented Japanese characters whose cultural differences fascinated and confounded their creators. She compares the outsider views of these Peruvian narrators with the insider perceptions of two Japanese Peruvian poets, José Watanabe and Doris Moromisato, who tap personal experiences and memories to create images that define their identities. The book begins with a brief sociohistorical overview of Japan and Peru, describing the conditions in both nations that resulted in Japanese immigration to Peru and concluding in contemporary times. Tsurumi traces the evolution of the terms "Orient" and "Japanese/Oriental" and the depiction of Asians in Modernista poetry and in later works by Octavio Paz and Jorge Luis Borges. She analyzes the images of the Japanese portrayed in individual works of modern Peruvian narrative, comparing them with those created in Japanese Peruvian poetry. The book concludes with an appendix containing excerpts from Tsurumi's interviews and correspondence in Spanish with writers and poets in Lima and Mexico City.

Book excerpt: Cosa rara es pensar en el futuro, siempre he tratado de pensar en el presente, y vivir mí día, día. Jamás me he puesto a hacer planes de mi propia vida, el solo pensar que la vida termina marcándose en cada arruga en tu cuerpo, me hace ser reacia a toda clase de vislumbramientos futuros. Por eso me he apegado al presente, pensando en que todo estaba resuelto para mí, nada en el mundo podía arruinar mi maravilloso cielo que había construido junto a las personas que amaba. Y justo ahora, cuando todo parece ser color cielo, pero no me imagine... ¿Qué color? Porque cuando llega el atardecer las tinieblas envuelven en caricias al cielo, tornándolo oscuro, de una manera angustiante y aterradora. ¿Por qué en mí cielo no hay luna ni estrellas?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta traducción al español del libro considerado como la biblia del embarazo en Norteamérica con más 19 millones de copias impresas, What to Expect When You’re Expecting: 4th Edition, es más vital, menos formal y más sencilla de entender de manera general que cualquier otra anterior. Es un libro dirigido a padres que esperan un bebé y quienes no dominan el inglés o quienes, en un momento de estrés como este, prefieren lo que les resulta más familiar – su primer idioma. Está repleto de información actualizada no sólo sobre lo nuevo que se sabe sobre el embarazo, pero también sobre los temas que son relevantes para las embarazadas. Heidi Murkoff ha respondido decenas de nuevas preguntas e incluido nuevos materiales requeridos por los lectores, como, por ejemplo, una sección detallada en todos los capítulos sobre cada mes del embarazo sobre el desarrollo fetal en cada una de las semanas de este, un capítulo expandido sobre la pre-concepción y uno completamente nuevo sobre embarazos múltiples. Siendo más completa, reconfortante y empática que todas las anteriores, esta edición incorpora nuevos descubrimientos en obstetricia y toca diferentes tendencias actuales (desde el tatuaje y otras modificaciones corporales hasta el Botox y la aromaterapia). Hay mucho más que antes sobre temas prácticos (incluyendo una sección aumentada sobre cuestiones relacionadas con el sitio laboral), físicos (con más síntomas y soluciones para estos), emocionales (más consejos sobre cómo navegar la montaña rusa emocional), nutricionales (desde la dieta baja en carbohidratos hasta la vegana y desde la comida chatarra hasta la adicción a la cafeína) y sexuales (lo que es excitante y lo que no lo es al hacer el amor durante el embarazo), así como mucho más apoyo para ese muy importante socio en la maternidad: el papá. Con derroche de consejos útiles y humor (el mejor amigo de una mujer embarazada), esta nueva edición es más asequible y fácil de usar que en el pasado. Es todo lo que los padres esperan de Que puedes esperar . . . durante el embarazo, pero mucho mejor. This Spanish-language translation of What to Expect When You're Expecting: 4th Edition, America's pregnancy bible with over 19 million copies in print, is livelier, less formal, and altogether more user-friendly than ever before. It’s a book for expectant parents who don’t speak English or who, at a stressful time, find that what's most familiar—their first language—is most welcome. It's filled with up-to-date information reflecting not only what's new in pregnancy but what's relevant to pregnant women. Heidi Murkoff has answered dozens of new questions and included loads of new asked-for material, such as a detailed week-by-week fetal development section in each of the monthly chapters, an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand-new one on carrying multiples. More comprehensive, reassuring, and empathetic than ever, this edition incorporates recent developments in obstetrics and addresses current lifestyle trends (from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy). There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (more advice on riding the mood roller coaster), nutritional (from low-carb to vegan, from junk food–dependent to caffeine-addicted), and sexual (what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking), as well as much more support for that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be. Overflowing with tips, helpful hints, and humor (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's everything parents-to-be have come to expect from What to Expect . . . only better.
