Описание: Latino/a Thought brings together the most important writings that shape Latino consciousness, culture, and activism today. This historical anthology is unique in its presentation of cross cultural writings--especially from Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban writers and political documents--that shape the ideology and experience of U.S. Latinos. Students can read, first hand, the works or authors who most shaped their cultural heritage. They are guided by vivid introductions that set each article or document in its historical context and describe its relevance today. The writings touch on many themes, but are guided by this book's concern for a quest for public citizenship among all Latino populations and a better understanding of racialized populations in the U.S. today.

Описание: Early modern European thought held that men and women were essentially the same. During the seventeenth century, medical and legal arguments began to turn against this `one-sex` model, with hermaphroditism seen as a medieval superstition. This book traces this change in Iberia in comparison to the earlier shift in thought in northern Europe.
Описание: El estudio de las manifestaciones literarias de «lo insolito» esta ocupando buena parte del interes de la critica en los ultimos tiempos. Bajo esta denominacion se agrupan las creaciones que se oponen en general a las figuraciones mimeticas o de codificacion realista, y que encuentran su cauce expresivo a traves de diferentes categorias como la literatura fantastica, las historias de lo maravilloso, el realismo magico o la ciencia-ficcion, por indicar solo las mas relevantes. En este libro, fruto inicial de un proyecto de investigacion financiado por el MINECO espanol en el que se ha contado con la valiosa colaboracion de renombrados especialistas en la materia, se propone una aproximacion a este ambito literario en el contexto de la cultura mexicana. Los distintos trabajos incluidos en el volumen permiten constatar la existencia en las letras de este pais de una larga y sostenida tradicion en la creacion de este tipo de argumentos y se acercan al estudio de algunos de sus textos, tendencias y autores mas representativos desde el siglo XIX, con nombres como Roa Barcena o Justo Sierra, hasta la obra de escritores actuales como Cecilia Eudave, Alberto Chimal, Adriana Diaz Enciso o Gabriel Trujillo Munoz, entre otros.
Описание: 1892 gaslamp noir - true crime mystery and ghost legend - two fabulous books in one volume - new double (4th) edition 2016-17 on the 125th anniversary of San Diego's famous legend - remembering the tragic Beautiful Stranger's violent and mysterious death at the Hotel del Coronado near San Diego. First Book: Dead Move - Kate Morgan and the Haunting Mystery of Coronado (nonfiction; true crime cold case analysis). Based entirely on known, true history, with over 100 end notes and scholarly references-highly detailed, but entertaining for readers who love a puzzle. This is one of the most challenging you will ever encounter. Also available as a stand-alone.Second Book: Lethal Journey - a noir gaslight period novel closely based on Dead Move. Fast-paced, thriller material with that 19th century patina that takes you to California's own cobblestone streets, dimly glowing gaslights, and shadowy figures moving in the kind of marine layer fog for which the West Coast is notorious. Also available as a stand-alone.Publisher recommends: read Lethal Journey (the novel) first - it's a fast-paced, atmospheric thriller closely based on history, with powerful characters (Kate Morgan, Lizzie Wyllie, John Longfield, John Spreckels - all true people alive in 1892). Then read Dead Move, which is crammed with fascinating, deeply researched evidence solving the case for the first time ever.On Thanksgiving Day, 24 November 1892, a young woman (the legendary 'Beautiful Stranger') checked into the fabulous Hotel del Coronado, near San Diego, under a false name. Dazzling and elegant, she was thought by staff and guests to be a new and upcoming stage actress or socialite. She was actually a poor factory girl from Detroit with stars in her eyes. She was also a 'ruined woman' (pregnant out of wedlock, condemned by Victorian society). Five days later-in a mysterious plot at the hotel that is now explained for the first time by John T. Cullen--she died violently and inexplicably of a gunshot to the head, on the back or beach stairs of the hotel, during one of the century's most violent ocean storms. Was it murder or suicide, and why? Instantly, her story became a national sensation in the Yellow Press, fueled by rumors of scandal with men in the highest circles. For the first time ever, penetrate the fog of myth, deception, and cover-up to learn the true story of the Beautiful Stranger. It is a story with not only local, but also national and global implications. Ultimately, it is a tragic and timeless woman's story, of a 'ruined woman' driven to unbearable ends after her betrayal by those she loved and trusted. In death, she was laid out like a fallen princess-a true Victorian Fallen Angel, in the best tradition of the age, as exemplified in Thomas Hardy's famous tragedy Tess of the D'Urbervilles.This is a historical and scientific investigation that avoids speculative or paranormal considerations. While neutral on the supernatural, this book gives ghost believers a historical baseline for understanding how the ghost legend came to be.
