Book excerpt: La tragedia de una mujer vendida por sus padres a un rico empresario repercute como eco en las vidas de varias generaciones que presencian el paso de la historia desde principios y hasta finales del siglo XX. En sus cartas, hacen referencia a un pueblo perdido en la montaña, cuyas gélidas paredes de piedra ocultan secretos familiares, intrigas políticas y peligro mortal. Pero si le preguntas a cualquiera de ellos sobre lo que pasó ahí, se limitarán a decir: "¡No hay para tanto!" "Una excelente novela de intriga, pero también un ciclorama sobre el que se proyectan una serie de personajes y situaciones típicas de la sociedad rural –el cacique, el cura, el juez, el rechazo a los forasteros, los odios seculares entre familias...– y una panorámica sobre los hechos que han caracterizado el siglo XX en nuestro país." Joan Josep Isern "Noventa años de nuestro país en una novela orgánica, viva, donde todos los elementos encajan como en un reloj de hora exacta." Andreu Martín "¡No hay para tanto!, una novela que no podéis dejar de leer: corta, intensa y diferente. Por su tratamiento epistolar, por las distintas voces que la habitan, por la intriga tan bien conducida y por su originalidad... ¡Buena lectura!" Gemma Lienas "Conocí bien a Bartomeu Cruells y compartí con él actividades de la lucha clandestina contra la dictadura y ahora descubro su talento literario para, novelando un crimen, hacer un repaso de noventa años de nuestra historia más reciente."Xavier Vinader Tags: misterio, novella histórica

Book excerpt: More effectively meet the diverse literacy needs of the growing Latino population by learning how to evaluate and select quality Latino children's literature. Latinos are the fastest growing and largest ethnic minority in the United States. The number of Latino children is at a historic high. As a result, librarians and teachers in the United States must know how to meet the informational, cultural, and traditional literacy needs of this student demographic group. An ideal way to overcome this challenge is by providing culturally accurate and authentic children's literature that represents the diversity of the Latino cultures. Much more than simply a topical bibliography, this book details both historical and current practices in educating Latino children; explains why having quality Latino children's literature in classrooms and libraries is necessary for the ethnic identity development of Latino children; and offers a historical overview of Latino children's literature in America. Web resources of interest to educators working with Latino children are also included.

Download or read book North American Lake Monsters written by Nathan Ballingrud and published by Small Beer Press. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathan Ballingrud's Shirley Jackson Award winning debut collection is a shattering and luminous experience not to be missed by those who love to explore the darker parts of the human psyche. Monsters, real and imagined, external and internal, are the subject. They are us and we are them and Ballingrud's intense focus makes these stories incredibly intense and irresistible. These are love stories. And also monster stories. Sometimes these are monsters in their traditional guises, sometimes they wear the faces of parents, lovers, or ourselves. The often working-class people in these stories are driven to extremes by love. Sometimes, they are ruined; sometimes redeemed. All are faced with the loneliest corners of themselves and strive to find an escape. Nathan Ballingrud was born in Massachusetts but has spent most of his life in the South. He worked as a bartender in New Orleans and New York City and a cook on offshore oil rigs. His story "The Monsters of Heaven" won the inaugural Shirley Jackson Award. He lives in Asheville, North Carolina, with his daughter.
Download or read book The Imagined Island written by Pedro L. San Miguel and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-05-18 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a landmark study of history, power, and identity in the Caribbean, Pedro L. San Miguel examines the historiography of Hispaniola, the West Indian island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic. He argues that the national identities of (and often the tense relations between) citizens of these two nations are the result of imaginary contrasts between the two nations drawn by historians, intellectuals, and writers. Covering five centuries and key intellectual figures from each country, San Miguel bridges literature, history, and ethnography to locate the origins of racial, ethnic, and national identity on the island. He finds that Haiti was often portrayed by Dominicans as "the other--first as a utopian slave society, then as a barbaric state and enemy to the Dominican Republic. Although most of the Dominican population is mulatto and black, Dominican citizens tended to emphasize their Spanish (white) roots, essentially silencing the political voice of the Dominican majority, San Miguel argues. This pioneering work in Caribbean and Latin American historiography, originally published in Puerto Rico in 1997, is now available in English for the first time.
