The children who decided to change it all

Autor: Marcela Fonseca

Número de Páginas: 40

Children with disabilities just want to be treated as kids, they don’t need people feeling sorry for them. They want to have friends, to be accepted, to be invited to other kid’s birthdays, to feel included not to be discriminated against. Inclusive education is a great first step and an indispensable tool to achieve this goal. The children who decided to change it all is a book which, more than tolerance, celebrates the acceptance of disabilities, without concessions, ifs or buts.

Her Name Was Dolores

Autor: Pete Salgado

Número de Páginas: 272

The untold story of the iconic Jenni Rivera through the perspective of her former managers, Pete Salgado and Gabriel Vazquez and it will be the basis for a TV series that airs on Univision. This book will take us into the boiler room and offer a behind-the-scenes look into the strategies and moments that lead to national headlines. Pete Salgado was Jenn’s longstanding manager, considered by Jenn her fifth bother, he worked with her for nearly a decade, and helped negotiate many of her deals. She shared things with him she did not with others, and he came to know her in ways no one else did. The months before Jenni’s death were filled with betrayals and disappointments from those she most loved and trusted. Salgado addresses that and takes readers deep inside some cryptic tweets Jenni posted as well of answering very difficult questions such as: Did Chiquis have an affair with Jenni’s husband, Esteban? Who really was the person Jenni called El Pelón and tweeted about, and what did he mean to her? Was Jenni embroiled with the drug cartel? Did the notorious narco El Barbie mistreat her? Was she going to buy a plane? Was Jenni’s death truly an accident? This book describes...

Los Beatles

Autor: VVAA

Número de Páginas: 304

Las letras de las canciones de los Beatles leídas como si fueran poesía: un enfoque artístico y en detalle de cada uno de los temas. Se analizan las historias, los temas y las ideas que inspiraron 178 canciones de este emblemático grupo, y de cada uno de sus miembros. Obras de arte, fotografías e ilustraciones dan vida a las canciones de los Fab Four. "¿Las letras de los Beatles son poemas? Lo cierto es que no. Los poemas poseen su propia música inherente; las letras están llenas de espacios vacíos a la espera de que los sonidos de las guitarras, los teclados y las baterías los llenen. No obstante, en muchas de sus canciones los Beatles utilizaron técnicas poéticas y recurrieron a poetas inspirados. Lo que sí lograron, y resulta significativo, fue desempeñar la función tradicional de la poesía al unir a la tribu y expresar sus deseos, sus temores y sus alegrías. "La mayoría de nosotros somos incapaces de recitar de memoria un poema de Ted Hughes o de Robert Frost, pero muchos podemos cantar "All You Need Is Love" o "Hey Jude". Tenemos sus letras grabadas en el cerebro". [Steve Turner, Londres]

Número de Páginas: 206

The research is enrooted on the position that the achievement of Europe's Lisbon goal set in March 2000 is dependent on the extend to which Europe will utilize all of its human resources and its rich socio-cultural heritage

Constructing selves: Issues in Gender, Age, Ethnicity and Nation

Autor: Eduardo de Gregorio-Godeo , Ángel Mateos-Aparicio

Número de Páginas: 346

The notion of self has become crucial for contemporary cultural studies in its examination identities. Identities are often conceptualized as an engagement of the individual’s self—their condition of being a person—with broader cul-tural cons tructs. However, in addition to being culturally situated, the constitution of selves may be conceived of through identity-construction phenomena whereby individuals’ subjectivities take up, or resist, the subject posi-tions made available in discursive practices. Selves—the notion of ‘Who and I?’—may only be understood as resulting from power-based discourses and cultural practices. In this respect, the idea of the self could be best made sense of in the broader context of the circuits of cul-ture where identities are conformed together with other key cultural processes including representation and cul-tural production, consumption and regulation. The chapters in this collection explore the relations of selves with a wide range of cultural products (e.g. mass media, poetry, fiction, film, painting, advertising, the Internet, education, the institutional, etc.) across a multiplicity of social, political, geographical and...

la visión de la mujer Irlandesa de finales de siglo XIX y principios del XX en la narrativa de George Moore: una perspectiva feminista

Autor: María Elena Jaime de Pablos

Número de Páginas: 320

Se ha analizado la narrativa de George Moore, en concreto aquella que tiene como referente Irlanda, y se ha investigado la imagen que el autor propaga en torno a sus contemporáneas irlandesas. Dicha imagen se ha contrastado con la que ofrecen de ellas fuentes históricas. El resultado del contraste ha sido un elevado índice de similitud entre las descripciones dadas por el autor y las presentadas por estudiosos de la mujer en Irlanda durante finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, época de auge de la llamada "Women Question". Asimismo, se ha constatado que George Moore participa del controvertido debate que tal cuestión centra a juzgar por multitud de pasajes en los que se decanta abiertamente a favor de que la mujer goce de los mismos derechos y privilegios que los varones en el terreno social, jurídico, laboral o educativo, al tiempo que manifiesta su aversión hacia ideologías filosóficas, políticas o religiosas que conciben al sexo femenino en un plano secundario, siempre subordinado al masculino. La perspectiva de análisis adoptada ha radicado en la crítica literaria feminista.

Folk Stories from the Hills of Puerto Rico / Cuentos folklóricos de las montañas de Puerto Rico

Autor: Rafael Ocasio

Número de Páginas: 214

This exciting new anthology gathers together Puerto Rican folktales that were passed down orally for generations before finally being transcribed beginning in 1914 by the team of famous anthropologist Franz Boas. These charming tales give readers a window into the imaginations and aspirations of Puerto Rico’s peasants, the Jíbaro. Some stories provide a distinctive Caribbean twist on classic tales including “Snow White” and “Cinderella.” Others fictionalize the lives of local historical figures, such as infamous pirate Roberto Cofresí, rendered here as a Robin Hood figure who subverts the colonial social order. The collection also introduces such beloved local characters as Cucarachita Martina, the kind cockroach who falls in love with Ratoncito Pérez, her devoted mouse husband who brings her delicious food. Including a fresh English translation of each folktale as well as the original Spanish version, the collection also contains an introduction from literary historian Rafael Ocasio that highlights the historical importance of these tales and the Jíbaro cultural values they impart. These vibrant, funny, and poignant stories will give readers unique insights into...

I was born in a small town that at that time had about 300 inhabitants between children and adults ... I am a simple person, not very happy but not bitter. I am always willing to help those who need it; I do not wait for me to go begging, I offer help. I do not have much education I went to school for a short time. I finished sixth grade until I had 15 years old, but I remember that since I was young I liked to write stories, although I had never had the opportunity to publish them. I hope these stories reach your hearts and I also hope they like you. I want you enjoy them so much that you want to read them all... and other stories more.

Sometimes we can even physically or mentally harm them. Among the stories written here, one is true. It speaks of a little girl who has been criticized since her birth but has had the intelligence to turn criticism into positive energy. She has not stopped to listen to mediocre...

Autor: Hugo Salcedo

Esta pieza dramática construye una denuncia de la violencia contra las mujeres de diversa época y en latitudes distintas; asentada en la historia, la mitología y la vida cotidiana, por el sólo hecho de serlo. Su estructura en 10 escenas provoca un dinamismo expositivo y estilístico, mientras va hilando aspectos hirientes -algunos lamentablemente reales-, que bajo su título irónico grita a topo pulmón: ¡ya basta!

How the fuck I do forget you. Wake up happy again

Autor: Rodrigo Romojaro

Número de Páginas: 73

It’s an informal book; I will call you an asshole, we will talk about Tinder, jealousy, other girls, getting drunk to forget and making her feel sorry for you by sending her messages, groveling or even going over to her house with flowers like an imbecile. I’ll try to touch your pride to make you react. I will make an “over my dead balls is this going to go on like it is now” come out of you. Before you even buy the book, you should know that you will only get out of this shit on the base of pride and self-love, putting your well-being above all else. And you will realize that it’s not selfishness, but rather on the contrary: to love others, you first have to learn to love yourself. It’s a short book and quick to read; I don’t want to annoy you with words. It’s not about entertaining yourself on a long trip where you don’t know what to do. It’s a manual of steps to follow in order to be happy and you will read it in a good mood and smiling. Believe me that if you follow everything in the book to the letter, you will soon recover and you will do so in a healthy manner and having learned a lot to continue being happy in the future.

The role of the humanities in times of crisis

Autor: Rodríguez, María Pilar (ed.)

This book explores the relevance of the Humanities at a time when financial crises promote lifestyles and public policies that undermine human rights and gender equality. The articles study the ways in which the Humanities, by emphasizing critical thinking and opening new ways of seeing what institutional discourses and the media fail to address, fulfill an essential role in our societies. It focuses on the role of intellectuals, artists, filmmakers, and educators and reflects on their significant influence to contribute to a more ethical and dignified social representation of the world. Different perspectives are offered; the articles suggest different approaches to the manners in which the Humanities can offer answers to the questions of our time, for the pulse of the arts, for example, interrupts the logic of profit and economic exchange by foregrounding the less obvious: that there are and have always been spaces for societies to instill a civic and reconstructive culture in our midst. The book offers a balanced presence of theoretical contributions along with other articles that include an illustration of the ways in which analyses of cinema and media can be conducive to a...

Secrets of State

Autor: Juan Carlos Zambrana M

Número de Páginas: 228

Secret of State explains how the respect and admiration of some countries for the United States, was turned into anti-imperialism. Starting with the uprising of the Bolivian people in October 2003, against their president and their proverbial enemy, "the Yankee Empire," two investigators dig into history to unearth the Pandora's Box of the Bolivia-United States relations, and the root cause for Bolivian anti-imperialistic sentiment. Putting in jeopardy their own lives, they obtain valuable information on the devious schemes of certain White House administrations, to impose their abusive policies on Bolivia, with the complicity of that country's own puppet regimes; the resistance of the Bolivian people, and the response with repression, rigged elections, massacres, revolutions, dictatorships, and assassination of opposing leaders. The author masterfully weaves together historical events, and declassified information, to create, using real and fictional characters, an exciting plot full of action and suspense that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

4 Fairy Tales + 1 Poem

Autor: Mildres Daudinot

Número de Páginas: 112

Estas historias surgen de un sentimiento de gratitud hacia una tía " cicatera" que, rica sólo en su amor y generosidad, me ha dejado un precioso legado de recuerdos, imágenes y sobre todo el conocimiento de que la verdadera riqueza reside en las cosas pequeñas y que la belleza también reside donde todo parece un poco "destartalado". Fueron sus historias, sus canciones las que me siguieron en mi andar por el mundo. Con el tiempo me hablaron y me susurraron en momentos difíciles, me sugirieron acción o silencio, escucha y cuidado. Las resonancias en mí, de este mundo mágico, inspiraron las historias de este libro, que son sí para los niños pero que pueden hacer que los adultos se sientan a su lado mediten para contarlas. Las historias, aunque fantásticas, están escritas en un lenguaje que recuerda el lenguaje común en el que uno se reconoce fácilmente. Cada historia contiene un entrelazado de situaciones que se refieren a reflexiones sobre aspectos humanos que nos envían de un camino que conduce a la "felicidad". La ligereza que los caracteriza se encuentra y desata grandes nudos que bloquean el desarrollo de nuestro ser, y que tienen sus raíces en la desconfianza...

Communal Feminisms

Autor: Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs

Número de Páginas: 306

Communal Feminisms explores identity and exile from three different perspectives: theory, interviews, and imaginative literature. The first part of this book describes and defines exile within identity; the second part delivers ten interviews and examines the socio-historical construction of exile through feminine Chicano literature and Chilean literature created and circulated during the Pinochet regime; and the third part contains a collection of unpublished, original works from each author interviewed. Including the interviews and creative works in both English and Spanish, Dr. Gabriella Gutierrez y Muhs emphasizes the need to publish bilingual works, without alienating English readers. This uniquely crafted collection will appeal to scholars across disciplines.
