Описание: Laudada como una obra centra de la literatura latinoamericana, esta novela asombrosa, de una de las m s prominentes mujeres de letras de Puerto Rico, es a la vez una rebosante saga multigeneracional y una historia m gica de la isla. En una hermosa mansi n con vista a la laguna de Alamares, Isabel Montfort est escribiendo la cr nica de su familia. Es un relato de aventura e intriga, de inmigrantes espa oles y corsos, de esclavos africanos, de pol tica sexual y de luchas pol ticas, de maridos autoritarios y esposas que ingeniosamente subvierten esa autoridad. Pero Quint n Mendiz bal, el marido de Isabel, ha descubierto su manuscrito y se propone contrarrestarlo con su propia versi n de los hechos. Del combate entre sus historias conyugales Rosario Ferr crea una poderosa y astutamente c mica meditaci n sobre la manera en que construimos la verdad--la de nuestra familia, la de nuestros pa ses y la de nuestras propias vidas. La casa de la laguna es una novela llena de encanto e invenci n, poblada por personajes de una gran vitalidad.

Winner, 2018 Peter C. Rollins Book Prize, presented by the Northeast Popular/American Culture Association Winner, 2018 Robert K. Martin Book Prize, presented by the Canadian American Studies Association Honorable Mention, 2019 Outstanding Book Award, given by the Latina/o Studies Section of the Latin American Studies Association A re-examination of the Cuban diaspora through the lens of popular culture. In an era of warming relations between the US and Cuba, this book updates the conversation about Cuban America by showing how this community has changed over the past 25 years. No longer a conservative Republican voting bloc, the majority of Cubans today want more engagement with the island instead of less. Laguna investigates the generational shifts and tensions in a Cuban America where the majority is now made up of immigrants who arrived since the 1990s and those born in the US. To probe these changes, Laguna examines the aesthetic and social logics of a wide range of popular culture forms originating in Miami and Cuba from the 1970s through the 2010s. They include the stand-up comedy of performers like Alvarez Guedes and Robertico, a festival called Cuba Nostalgia, Miami morning radio shows, a form of media distribution on the island known as el paquete, and the viral social media content of Los Pichy Boys. This study illustrates the centrality of play in a community that has been described historically as angry, reactionary, and melancholic. Diversi?n contends that our understanding of the Cuban diaspora is lacking not in seriousness, but in play. By unpacking this archive, Laguna explores our complex, often fraught attachments to popular culture and the way it can challenge and reproduce typical cultural ideologies—especially in relation to politics and race. In the wake of the largest migration wave to the US in Cuban history, Diversi?n and its focus on play is crucial reading for those who seek to understand not only the Cuban American diaspora, but cultural and economic life on the island.

Описание: Este libro es un intento para probar la autenticidad de los relatos del Libro de Mormуn, basado en la historia y evidencia que nos ofrecen las mбs antiguas culturas o civilizaciones que se desarrollaron en este continente. De esa manera inicio mi estudio en el arribo de los pueblos descendientes de Lehi los llamados Lamanitas y Nefitas, su peregrinar, su desarrollo espiritual, su esplendor y caнda a travйs de su recorrido en toda Amйrica. Y descubro en los relatos de nuestra historia indнgena que existen testimonios claros y precisos de la llegada de Lehi, de la separaciуn de sus hijos, de sus construcciones de ciudades, de sus edificios, monumentos, cultura y civilizaciуn de esos pueblos, unidos histуricamente por otros dos pueblos los Mulekitas y los Jareditas, que son relatados en El Libro de Mormуn, y que tambiйn encuentro evidencias y relatos genuinos de su existencia en Amйrica precolombina dos mil aсos antes de Cristo. Por tanto recojo tres mil aсos de los relatos que nos ofrece el libro, con tres mil aсos de la historia indнgena prehispбnica de Amйrica.

The Mexican folkways described in this monograph, of scientific interest to anthropologists, will fascinate laypeople as well. Isabel Kelly collected these notes in the 1950s, as a diversion when official field work was not feasible, in the vicinity of Torreón and particularly in the nearby village of El Cuije, in northern Mexico. She recounts folk customs and habits, focusing on beliefs and practices related to health and healing and on notions concerning magic. These form, Kelly believes, a core of folk culture which has survived tenaciously in the rural areas and on the outskirts of the cities, among mestizo families of scant education and limited economic resources.
These people are well acquainted with simple, matter-of-fact illnesses which result from natural causes and which respond to treatment by herbal and other home remedies or by modern medicines. But they also recognize the evil eye and the emotional upset known as “fright.” They are thoroughly familiar with the ever-present danger of ailments which are not “natural” and God-sent, but which are deliberately inflicted by an enemy, through the artifice of a sorcerer or a spiritualist. Such “instigated” illnesses may take any form, from a cold in the head to a false pregnancy. If a person suspects that poor health results from such malevolence, he or she spurns Western medicine and looks instead to the witch or to the spiritualist as the only hope of a cure.
El Cuije pays an annual quota from community funds to make available modern health services provided by the government. But community funds are similarly drawn upon to provide “medical” attention for those who repair to the sorcerers. Once a week the village truck takes all presumed witchcraft victims to a nearby town, where they receive clinical treatment from professional sorcerers.
Kelly sees little that is genuinely indigenous in the beliefs and practices described; many of them demonstrably result from infiltration from the Old World in the years following the Spanish Conquest. She considers spiritualistic curing—important in northern Mexico and many other parts of Latin America—in some detail, but the specific outlines of its history in northern Mexico still awaited clarification at the time of her research.
