Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a refreshingly novel approach to the writings of Gloria E. Anzaldúa (1942–2004), Andrea J. Pitts addresses issues relevant to contemporary debates within feminist theory and critical race studies. Pitts explores how Anzaldúa addressed, directly and indirectly, a number of complicated problems regarding agency in her writings, including questions of disability justice, trans theorizing, Indigenous sovereignty, and identarian politics. Anzaldúa's conception of what Pitts describes as multiplicitous agency serves as a key conceptual link between these questions in her work, including how discussions of agency surfaced in Anzaldúa's late writings of the 1990s and early 2000s. Not shying away from Anzaldúa's own complex and sometimes problematic framings of disability, mestizaje, and Indigeneity, Pitts draws from several strands of contemporary Chicanx, Latinx, and African American philosophy to examine how Anzaldúa's work builds pathways toward networks of solidarity and communities of resistance.

Download or read book The Anzald an Theory Handbook written by AnaLouise Keating and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Anzaldúan Theory Handbook AnaLouise Keating provides a comprehensive investigation of the foundational theories, methods, and philosophies of Gloria E. Anzaldúa. Through archival research and close readings of Anzaldúa’s unpublished and published writings, Keating offers a biographical-intellectual sketch of Anzaldúa, investigates her writing process and theory-making methods, and excavates her archival manuscripts. Keating focuses on the breadth of Anzaldúa’s theoretical oeuvre, including Anzaldúa’s lesser-known concepts of autohistoria y autohistoria-teoría, nos/otras, geographies of selves, and El Mundo Zurdo. By investigating those dimensions of Anzaldúa’s theories, writings, and methods that have received less critical attention and by exploring the interconnections between these overlooked concepts and her better-known theories, Keating opens additional areas of investigation into Anzaldúa’s work and models new ways to “do” Anzaldúan theory. This book also includes extensive definitions, genealogies, and explorations of eighteen key Anzaldúan theories as well as an annotated bibliography of hundreds of Anzaldúa’s unpublished manuscripts.

Download or read book Revolutionary Care written by Maurice Hamington and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by one of the world’s most respected care scholars, Revolutionary Care provides original theoretical insights and novel applications to offer a comprehensive approach to care as personal, political, and revolutionary. The text has nine chapters divided into two major sections. Section 1, "Thinking About Better Care," offers four theoretical chapters that reinforce the primacy of care as a moral ideal worthy of widespread commitment across ideological and cultural differences. Unlike other moral approaches, care is framed as a process morality and provides a general trajectory that can only determine the best course of action in the moment/context of need. Section 2, "Invitations and Provocations: Imagining Transformative Possibilities," employs four case studies on toxic masculinity, socialism and care economy, humanism and posthumanism, pacifism, and veganism to demonstrate the radical and revolutionary nature of care. Exploring the thinking and writing of many disciplines, including authors of color, queer scholars, and indigenous thinkers, this book is an exciting and cutting-edge contribution to care ethics scholarship as well as a useful teaching resource.

Download or read book Bridging written by AnaLouise Keating and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational writings of cultural theorist and social justice activist Gloria Anzaldúa have empowered generations of women and men throughout the world. Charting the multiplicity of Anzaldúa’s impact within and beyond academic disciplines, community trenches, and international borders, Bridging presents more than thirty reflections on her work and her life, examining vibrant facets in surprising new ways and inviting readers to engage with these intimate, heartfelt contributions. Bridging is divided into five sections: The New Mestizas: “transitions and transformations”; Exposing the Wounds: “You gave me permission to fly in the dark”; Border Crossings: Inner Struggles, Outer Change; Bridging Theories: Intellectual Activism with/in Borders; and “Todas somos nos/otras”: Toward a “politics of openness.” Contributors, who include Norma Elia Cantú, Elisa Facio, Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Aída Hurtado, Andrea Lunsford, Denise Segura, Gloria Steinem, and Mohammad Tamdgidi, represent a broad range of generations, professions, academic disciplines, and national backgrounds. Critically engaging with Anzaldúa’s theories and building on her work, they use virtual diaries, transformational theory, poetry, empirical research, autobiographical narrative, and other genres to creatively explore and boldly enact future directions for Anzaldúan studies. A book whose form and content reflect Anzaldúa’s diverse audience, Bridging perpetuates Anzaldúa’s spirit through groundbreaking praxis and visionary insights into culture, gender, sexuality, religion, aesthetics, and politics. This is a collection whose span is as broad and dazzling as Anzaldúa herself.

Download or read book Maria Estela written by Dominique Ravelo-Napoli and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro se basa mayormente en la vida de mi madre. Les relato en palabras sencillas parte de su niñez, su vida con mi padre; cuando se mudó a Puerto Rico con sus hijas; y cómo murió. Aunque comienzo con una parte que es ficción, en “Morelia”, luego paso a la realidad de “María Estela”, donde encontrarás un conglomerado de amor, tristezas y muchas alegrías en la vida de mi madre y nosotras cuando pequeñas. Mi madre es de nacionalidad dominicana, igualmente mi padre. Nacimos en una hermosa isla llamada la Hispaniola, donde nuestro bello país, La República Dominicana, ocupa la tercera parte. De importancia es la realidad de la vida de mi madre; cuando se mudó a la vecina isla de Puerto Rico; donde llegó sola con tres niñas en los brazos y comenzó una vida nueva, con muy pocos ahorros. María Estela siempre sintió mucho agradecimiento por la hospitalidad que recibió de los puertorriqueños. Mami no sabía que yo estaba escribiendo un libro sobre ella. Sin embargo, poco a poco fui recopilando datos mientras la visitaba. Ella me contaba muchas cosas sobre su niñez y su vida. También obtuve mucha información sobre ella, durante conversaciones que mantuve con familiares en Santo Domingo y en los Estados Unidos. En el relato ficticio que comencé a escribir con el nombre de “Morelia”; identifiqué a mami con ese nombre; ya que a ella le gustaba todo lo que era mexicano. Además, “Morelia” es una ciudad en México muy preciosa y auténtica; de mucha historia y colorido, así como fue la vida de mamá. Cuando le dije la verdad; de que escribía sobre su vida pero en una vida “inventada” en Morelia, ella solo se sonrió y me dijo: “¡Mira muchacha, qué mucho tú inventa!”. Le dije: “Mamá es que comencé a imaginarme cosas y te cambié la vida. Todavía no he terminado, ya verás que volveré a tu realidad en el Capítulo de María Estela. Ahí relataré muchas de las cosas que me has dicho y de nuestra vida en Puerto Rico”. Ella seguía escuchándome muy pensativa y con un gran suspiro me dijo: “María Estela, ahora sí que tu historia parece realidad”. Mi madre fue una mujer ejemplar en su propia sencillez. Ella no completó sus estudios, pues comenzó a trabajar a temprana edad. Ella, con mucho esfuerzo y limitaciones, nunca dejó de proveer para sus tres hijas. Con el tiempo, sus fuerzas menguaron, pero su amor, ¡nunca! De este sentimiento surge la inspiración de muchos de mis poemas. También encontrarás algunas estrofas de un poema de mi hermana Tina; quien también es escritora. Incluyo una cronología de eventos importantes de la vida de mamá, parte de su genealogía, y documentos, cartas y fotos importantes sobre ella. Yo no esperaba publicar un libro; solo quería plasmar la vida de mi madre y cómo ella nos crio en Puerto Rico como un recuerdo de amor para mis familiares inmediatos. Escribí con las mejores intenciones de relatar las cosas como transcurrieron. Sin embargo, necesité mi mente creativa para completar algunos detalles; ya que no recuerdo todo como pasó, pero les aseguro que sí vivimos todas esas experiencias ¡y mucho más! Este relato es en memoria a María Estela y como agradecimiento a Puerto Rico, la vecina isla donde mami hizo muchos de sus sueños realidad y donde crecimos rodeadas de mucho cariño, palmeras, sol, arena y mar. Para mí y mis hermanas, la vida de mamá fue siempre un tapiz abierto y de muchas tonalidades. Mamá fue como una manta fuerte que nos cubría de amor y siempre nos protegía. Es un honor para nosotras compartir “María Estela y Sus Tres Hijas” con todos ustedes. Si tienes en tus manos una copia de este libro; espero que sientas el amor incondicional que solo una madre puede ofrecer, y que seas bendecido(a). ¡Gracias por tu interés!

Download or read book Just Traveling written by Jaco J. Hamman and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just Traveling celebrates overcoming distance and seeking difference as defining human traits. Following the scriptural witness of God as the Earthroamer, the book explores the liminal qualities of traveling through six movements: anticipating, leaving, surrendering, meeting, caring, and returning. To travel is to move at the speed of being present to one's experiences, bridging distance and difference through acts of care. Drawing on personal experience as well as the wisdom of theology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and cultural studies, Hamman reimagines travel in a welcoming and beautiful, yet also complex and troubled world. Whether leaving home serves our wanderlust and curiosity or has personal or spiritual purposes; whether we travel a few miles or cover vast distances, we travel best when we contribute to human flourishing. Care--the compassionate reaching out to someone or something--is the practice that allows one to travel differently. The spirituality of roads is filled with hopeful restorative potential, and life is best lived with the Earthroamer.

Download or read book Liberatory Practices for Learning written by Julio Cammarota and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book promotes collaborative ways of knowing and group accountability in learning processes to counteract the damaging effects of neoliberal individualism prevalent in educational systems today. These neoliberalist hierarchies imposed through traditional, autocratic knowledge systems have driven much of the United States’ educational policies and reforms, including STEM, high stakes testing, individual-based accountability, hierarchical grading systems, and ability grouping tracks. The net effect of such policies and reforms is an education system that perpetuates social inequalities linked with race, class, gender, and sexuality. Instead, the author suggests that accountability pushes past individualism in education by highlighting democratic methods to produce a collective good as opposed to a narrow personal success. In this democratic model, participants contribute to the common goal of elevating the entire group. Drawing from a well of creative praxes, reflexivity, and spiritual engagement, contributors incorporate collective dreaming to envision alternate realities of learning and schooling and summon the spirit into action for change.

Download or read book Disability and American Philosophies written by Nate Whelan-Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given basic commitments to philosophize from lived experience and a shared underlying meliorist impulse, American philosophical traditions seem well-suited to develop nascent philosophical engagement with disability studies. To date, however, there have been few efforts to facilitate research at the intersections of American philosophy and disability studies. This volume of essays seeks to offer some directions for propelling this inquiry. Scholars working in pragmatist and other American traditions consider intersections between American philosophy and work in disability studies. Consisting of three broader sections, one set of essays considers how American philosophies from contemporary Mexican philosophy to classical American pragmatism inform descriptions of disability and efforts at liberation. The next offer accounts of how American philosophies disclose alternative conceptions of epistemic and ethical issues surrounding disability. Finally, a section considers "living issues" of disability, including essays on parenting, immigration policy, and art education. Throughout, these works provide direction and orientation for further investigation at the intersection of American philosophies and disability studies.

Download or read book Compa eras Latina Lesbians An Anthology Lesbianas Latinoamericanas written by Juanita Ramos and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987 and revised in 2004, Compañeras speaks with the voices of Latina lesbians who are puertorriqueñas, chicanas, cubanas, chilenas, hondureñas, brasileñas, colombianas, argentinas, peruanas, costarricenses, mexicanas, ecuatorianas, bolivianas, dominicanas, and nicaragüenses; women who met to speak about what it implies to be both Latina and lesbian in our communities, whether we live in Latin America or the US. Each time a woman begins to speak, a liberating process begins, one that is unavoidable and has powerful political implications. In these pages we see repeated the process of self-discovery, of affirmation in coming out of the closet, the search for a definition of our identity within the family and our community, the search for answers, for meaning in our personal struggle, and the commitment to a political struggle to end all forms of oppression. The stages of increasing awareness become clear when we begin to recount the story of our lives to someone else, someone who has experienced the same changes. When we write or speak about these changes, we establish our experience as valid and real, we begin to analyze, and that analysis gives us the necessary perspective to place our lives in a context where we know what to do next. Compañeras becomes an instrument of unity, a political tool. Compañeras habla a través de la voz de lesbianas latinoamericanas, chicanas, puertorriqueñas, cubanas, chilenas, hondureñas, brasileñas, colombianas, argentinas, peruanas, costarricense, mexicanas, ecuatorianas, bolivianas, dominicanas, y nicaragüenses; mujeresque se encontraron para hablar sobre lo que significa en nuestra comunidad ser ambas cosas, latinoamericanas y lesbianas, sea que vivamos en América Latina o en los Estados Unidos. Cada vez que una mujer comienza a hablar, comienza el proceso de liberación; es algo inevitable que tiene implicaciones politicas ponderosas. En estas paginas vemos repetido nuestro propio proceso de descubrimiento, la afirmación al asumirnos ante los demás, la búsqueda de una definición de identidad dentro de la familia y de nuestra comunidad, la búsqueda de repuestas significativas a las muchas personales y el compromise en la lucha politica para acabar con toda forma de opresión. Las etapas de crecimiento o de desarrollo de nuestra conciencia se hacen claras cuando comenzamos a reecontar la historia de nuestras vidas en alguien más, alguien que ha experimentado los mismos cambios. Cuando hablamos sobre estos cambios afirmamos nuestra experienca como válida y real, y ese análisis nos da la perspectiva necesaria para colocar neustras vidas dentro de un context que nos permita saber cuál es el próximo paso que temenos que dar. Compañeras viene a ser un instrument de unidad, una herramienta politica.

Download or read book Hybrid Englishes and the Challenges of and for Translation written by Karen Bennett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume problematizes the concept and practice of translation in an interconnected world in which English, despite its hegemonic status, can no longer be considered a coherent unified entity but rather a mobile resource subject to various kinds of hybridization. Drawing upon recent work in the domains of translation studies, literary studies and (socio-)linguistics, it explores the centrality of translation as both a trope for the analysis of contemporary transcultural dynamics and as a concrete communication practice in the globalized world. The chapters range across many geographic realities and genres (including fiction, memoir, animated film and hip-hop), and deal with subjects as varied as self-translation, translational ethics and language change. As a whole, the book makes an important contribution to our understanding of how meanings are generated and relayed in a context of super-diversity, in which traditional understandings of language and translation can no longer be sustained.
