Book ra  lrsalinas and the Jail Machine

Download or read book ra lrsalinas and the Jail Machine written by Raúl Salinas and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raúl R. Salinas is regarded as one of today's most important Chicano poets and human rights activists, but his passage to this place of distinction took him through four of the most brutal prisons in the country. His singular journey from individual alienation to rage to political resistance reflected the social movements occurring inside and outside of prison, making his story both personal and universal. This groundbreaking collection of Salinas' journalism and personal correspondence from his years of incarceration and following his release provides a unique perspective into his spiritual, intellectual, and political metamorphosis. The book also offers an insider's view of the prison rebellion movement and its relation to the civil rights and anti-war movements of the 1960s and 1970s. The numerous letters between Salinas and his family, friends, and potential allies illustrate his burgeoning political awareness of the cause and conditions of his and his comrades' incarceration and their link to the larger political and historical web of social relations between dominant and subaltern groups. These collected pieces, as well as two interviews with Salinas—one conducted upon his release from prison in 1972, the second more than two decades later—reveal to readers the transformation of Salinas from a street hipster to a man seeking to be a part of something larger than himself. Louis Mendoza has painstakingly compiled a body of work that is autobiographical, politically insurgent, and representative.

Book Un Trip through the Mind Jail y Otras Excursions

Download or read book Un Trip through the Mind Jail y Otras Excursions written by Raúl Salinas and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 1999-11-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the long-awaited second edition of a pioneer work of Chicano literature, originally published as a collection in 1980 after individual poems by Salinas had appeared in numerous magazines, newspapers, and anthologies from the 1960s through the 1970s. These fifteen years of poetry forged in the heat of the Chicano Movement (a period Salinas spent, in part, in prison) reveal the growing politicization of intelligent and talented minority convicts incarcerated at a time when their communities were marching forward. As with Ricardo Sanchez and Jimmy Santiago Baca, prison bars were not strong enough to limit Salinas's highly lyric, even rhapsodic calls for liberation -- poems inspired by jazz, the Beat writers, nature, and political skirmishes. Un Trip through the Mind Jail will stand for generations as a seminal text of Chicano and U. S. minority literature.

Book Global Indios

    Book Details:
  • Author : Nancy E. van Deusen
  • Publisher : Duke University Press
  • Release : 2015-06-12
  • ISBN : 0822375699
  • Pages : 329 pages

Download or read book Global Indios written by Nancy E. van Deusen and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sixteenth century hundreds of thousands of indios—indigenous peoples from the territories of the Spanish empire—were enslaved and relocated throughout the Iberian world. Although various laws and decrees outlawed indio enslavement, several loopholes allowed the practice to continue. In Global Indios Nancy E. van Deusen documents the more than one hundred lawsuits between 1530 and 1585 that indio slaves living in Castile brought to the Spanish courts to secure their freedom. Because plaintiffs had to prove their indio-ness in a Spanish imperial context, these lawsuits reveal the difficulties of determining who was an indio and who was not—especially since it was an all-encompassing construct connoting subservience and political personhood and at times could refer to people from Mexico, Peru, or South or East Asia. Van Deusen demonstrates that the categories of free and slave were often not easily defined, and she forces a rethinking of the meaning of indio in ways that emphasize the need to situate colonial Spanish American indigenous subjects in a global context.
