Book Culture Across Borders

Download or read book Culture Across Borders written by David Maciel and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as Mexicans have emigrated to the United States they have responded creatively to the challenges of making a new home. But although historical, sociological, and other aspects of Mexican immigration have been widely studied, its cultural and artistic manifestations have been largely overlooked by scholars—even though Mexico has produced the greatest number of cultural works inspired by the immigration process. And recently Chicana/o artists have addressed immigration as a central theme in their cultural productions and motifs. Culture across Borders is the first and only book-length study to analyze a wide range of cultural manifestations of the immigration experience, including art, literature, cinema, corridos, and humor. It shows how Mexican immigrants have been depicted in popular culture both in Mexico and the United States—and how Mexican and Chicano/Chicana artists, intellectuals, and others have used artistic means to protest the unjust treatment of immigrants by U.S. authorities. Established and upcoming scholars from both sides of the border contribute their expertise in art history, literary criticism, history, cultural studies, and other fields, capturing the many facets of the immigrant experience in popular culture. Topics include the difference between Chicano/a and Mexican representation of immigration; how films dealing with immigrants are treated differently by Mexican, Chicano, and Hollywood producers; the rich literary and artistic production on immigration themes; and the significance of immigration in Chicano jokes. As a first step in addressing the cultural dimensions of Mexican immigration to the United States, this book captures how the immigration process has inspired powerful creative responses on both sides of the border.

Book Making Lemonade out of Lemons

Download or read book Making Lemonade out of Lemons written by José M. Alamillo and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of the “lemons” handed to Mexican American workers in Corona, California--low pay, segregated schooling, inadequate housing, and racial discrimination--Mexican men and women made “lemonade” by transforming leisure spaces such as baseball games, parades, festivals, and churches into politicized spaces where workers voiced their grievances, debated strategies for advancement, and built solidarity. Using oral history interviews, extensive citrus company records, and his own experiences in Corona, José Alamillo argues that Mexican Americans helped lay the groundwork for civil rights struggles and electoral campaigns in the post-World War II era.

Book THE SYNERMERGENCY

    Book Details:
  • Author : James Pacifico
  • Publisher : Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
  • Release : 2022-01-12
  • ISBN : 1685171486
  • Pages : 245 pages

Download or read book THE SYNERMERGENCY written by James Pacifico and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a super-crisis? " The problems of the world total something greater than their sum" (Juan Fuentes 1992) THE SYNERMERGENCY, a state of supercriticality, or "synergistic emergency" existing between all crises on Earth, known and unknown. In response to this potential of total global super-crisis, this clarion call to anything but arms is the first to discuss the problems of totally interrelated crises, and sound a call to harmony for the Rainbow Warriors everywhere. Global citizen Juan Fuentes creates a new philosophical system that inspires the twentysomething generation into world-saving global evolution, moving dramatically beyond all previous ideologies and into the cyber age of holistic ecology. A paradigm for the 1990s, and for futurity, this brilliant novel's very positive message of rational understanding succeeds in bridging technology and nature, competition and cooperation, rights, and human responsibilities. Not merely concerned with environmental crises, THE SYNERMERGENCY focuses on eight global problem areas called holons, which include basic survival; economics; politics; education, technology, and nature; religion; spirituality and metaphysics; style, the arts, and aesthetics. ese holons, systems within systems, combine in synergy, building toward the collapse of systems, as people are forced to respond by literally making everything better everywhere for everyone in a total planet-healing process. All things considered, James Pacifico presents a new worldview unlike any suggested before. We are quite fortunate to have THE SYNERMERGENCY, the ultimate in utopian thought. ***** An Ecotopian Philosophical Novel by James Pacifico Because you accept the truth, others shall lie about you and slander your reputation. Because you seek light, others shall keep you in the darkness and hide what little truth they have from you. Because you love life and live love, others shall hate you and try to hurt you. You are Rainbow Warriors. You shall conquer the foe, Babylon, and your children shall solve all the problems of the Earth. You are glorious brothers and sisters in your battle with death and evil. You all shall be victorious!
