Winner of the 2009 Lora Romero First Book Prize from the American Studies Association 2009 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Explores the transnational movements of Mexican migrants, including their expressive culture and social movement practices Migrant Imaginaries explores the transnational movements of Mexican migrants in pursuit of labor and civil rights in the United States from the 1920s onward. Working through key historical moments such as the 1930s, the Chicano Movement, and contemporary globalization and neoliberalism, Alicia Schmidt Camacho examines the relationship between ethnic Mexican expressive culture and the practices sustaining migrant social movements. Combining sustained historical engagement with theoretical inquiries, she addresses how struggles for racial and gender equity, cross-border unity, and economic justice have defined the Mexican presence in the United States since 1910. Schmidt Camacho covers a range of archives and sources, including migrant testimonials and songs, Amrico Parede’s last published novel, The Shadow, the film Salt of the Earth, the foundational manifestos of El Movimiento, Richard Rodriguez’s memoirs, narratives by Marisela Norte and Rosario Sanmiguel, and testimonios of Mexican women workers and human rights activists, as well as significant ethnographic research. Throughout, she demonstrates how Mexicans and Mexican Americans imagined their communal ties across the border, and used those bonds to contest their noncitizen status. Migrant Imaginaries places migrants at the center of the hemisphere’s most pressing concerns, contending that border crossers have long been vital to social change.

Описание: A "San Francisco Chronicle" Recommended Book of 2015 * A "Kirkus Reviews" Best Book of 2015 * One of the "Texas Observer" s Five Books We Loved in 2015 * One of PRI s The World s Five Books You Should Read in 2016 Profound and wrenching A deeply moving chronicle of one family s collective devastation, full of remarkable wisdom and humor ("The" "New York Times Book Review") that follows the members of a wealthy Mexican family after their patriarch is kidnapped. On an unremarkable night, Jose Victoriano Arteaga the head of a thriving Mexico City family vanishes on his way home from work. The Arteagas find few answers; the full truth of what happened to Arteaga is lost to the shadows of Mexico s vast underworld. But soon packages arrive to the family house, offering horrifying clues. Fear, guilt, and the prospect of financial ruin fracture the once-proud family and scatter them across the globe, yet delicate threads still hold them together: in a swimming pool in Palo Alto, Arteaga s grandson struggles to make sense of the grief that has hobbled his family; in Mexico City, Arteaga s mistress alternates between rage and heartbreak as she waits, in growing panic, for her lover s return; in Austin, the Arteagas housekeeper tries to piece together a second life in an alienating new land; in Madrid, Arteaga s son takes his dog through the hot and unforgiving streets, in search of his father s ghost. A stunningly original exploration of the wages of a hidden war, "Barefoot Dogs" is a heartfelt elegy to the stolen innocence of every family struck by tragedy. Urgent and vital fiction, these powerful stories are worthy of rereading in order to fully digest the far-reaching implications of one man s disappearance this singular book affords the reader the chance to step inside a world of privilege and loss, and understand how the two are inextricably intertwined ("San Francisco Chronicle")."

Автор: Musaed Alsayer Dalal, Camacho Ricardo, Soares Sara Saragoça Название: Pan-Arab Modernism 1968-2018: The History of Architectural Practice in the Middle East ISBN: 1948765276 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781948765275 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 59730.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Using Kuwait as a case study and Pan Arab Modernism as a lens, this book comes to fill two voids in the literature on Middle Eastern architecture: one is in practice and the other is in history. The current practice of architecture in Kuwait, the Gulf and the larger Middle East, is typically a-contextual and lacking any understanding of the local context. The architectural history, on the other hand, ignores the larger context of the Middle East and the influence of Pan Arabism is not configured into many analyses. Thus, this project seeks to tackle both. By providing a re]contextualizing of the architectural history of Kuwait and bringing forgotten protagonists back into the dialogue, a nuanced reading of Pan Arab Modern architecture emerges. This book It aims to create a "knowledge generation" which can re]define how a local generation is being influence on the ground.

Описание: Fiction. "The women in Leigh Camacho Rourk's stories carry guns and they know how to use them. This is the best kind of fiction, well-honed, lean and flinty with deep pockets of compassion and vulnerability and hope, every sentence a made thing. If you love Lucia Berlin and Dorothy Allison, (or even if you don't) these women will get under your skin and stay there. MOON TREES is a truly stunning literary debut."--Pam Houston "Leigh Camacho Rourks' fiction sits on the fault-line of reality and lore: fever-dreams that will reveal a place you thought you knew but didn't. MOON TREES is more than just a story collection. It's a guidebook of folktales and food and language. It's an invitation to the customs of a region. Accept the invitation. You won't be sorry."--John McNally "Hot damn, this is a powerhouse debut. Leigh Camacho Rourks deserves a hallowed space on the shelf between Flannery O'Connor and Donald Ray Pollock. Every sentence burns like a black candle, and her stories are gothic and fearless and unsparing and barbed with wondrous detail and populated by the kinds of misfits and renegades and freaks you might feel nervous living next door to, but can't get enough of on the page."--Benjamin Percy
