American Sabor by Marisol Berros-Miranda,Shannon Dudley,Michelle Habell-Palln Pdf
Evoking the pleasures of music as well as food, the word sabor signifies a rich essence that makes our mouths water or makes our bodies want to move. American Sabor traces the substantial musical contributions of Latinas and Latinos in American popular music between World War II and the present in five vibrant centers of Latin@ musical production: New York, Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco, and Miami. From Tito Puente�s mambo dance rhythms to the Spanglish rap of Mellow Man Ace, American Sabor focuses on musical styles that have developed largely in the United States�including jazz, rhythm and blues, rock, punk, hip hop, country, Tejano, and salsa�but also shows the many ways in which Latin@ musicians and styles connect US culture to the culture of the broader Americas. With side-by-side Spanish and English text, authors Marisol Berr�os-Miranda, Shannon Dudley, and Michelle Habell-Pall�n challenge the white and black racial framework that structures most narratives of popular music in the United States. They present the regional histories of Latin@ communities�including Chicanos, Tejanos, and Puerto Ricans�in distinctive detail, and highlight the shared experiences of immigration/migration, racial boundary crossing, contesting gender roles, youth innovation, and articulating an American experience through music. In celebrating the musical contributions of Latinos and Latinas, American Sabor illuminates a cultural legacy that enriches us all.

Mapping Spaces of Translation in Twentieth-Century Latin American Print Culture by María Constanza Guzmán Pdf
This book reflects on translation praxis in 20th century Latin American print culture, tracing the trajectory of linguistic heterogeneity in the region and illuminating collective efforts to counteract the use of translation as a colonial tool and affirm cultural production in Latin America. In investigating the interplay of translation and the Americas as a geopolitical site, Guzmán Martínez unpacks the complex tensions that arise in these “spaces of translation” as embodied in the output of influential publishing houses and periodicals during this time period, looking at translation as both a concept and a set of narrative practices. An exploration of these spaces not only allows for an in-depth analysis of the role of translation in these institutions themselves but also provides a lens through which to uncover linguistic plurality and hybridity past borders of seemingly monolingual ideologies. A concluding chapter looks ahead to the ways in which strategic and critical uses of translation can continue to build on these efforts and contribute toward decolonial narrative practices in translation and enhance cultural production in the Americas in the future. This book will be of particular interest to scholars in translation studies, Latin American studies, and comparative literature.

Retrato de un hombre libre by Agustín García Simón Pdf
La tradición cultural que alimentó a los grandes maestros en las aulas de institutos y universidades españolas se ha ido extinguiendo en los últimos años, como acervo incompatible con una sociedad que niega o, simplemente, ignora la entrega callada y sabia de los viejos profesores. El ruido mediático, la velocidad y vértigo de nuestro tiempo, han arrumbado vidas y trayectorias dedicadas por vocación y pasión al saber y su transmisión, como concepto inseparable del conocimiento, la ética y el civismo. Hay que retroceder a las postrimerías del siglo pasado para encontrar los últimos eslabones sueltos de lo que antaño fue una cadena brillante y sólida de pedagogía humanística y crítica, que unía sabiduría y vida como ejemplo y método de enseñanza. Es el caso de don Santiago de los Mozos, catedrático de las universidades de Granada y Valladolid en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, protagonista de este Retrato de un hombre libre; retrato intelectual, en efecto, de uno de los maestros españoles más desconocidos y, a la vez, más fascinantes del espectro universitario español contemporáneo. Su porte institucionista, aunque nunca pasó por la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, su temple maireniano, su ideario ilustrado que expresaba una inteligencia excepcional y un don de la palabra que le hicieron justamente célebre en su medio, van revelándose en esta obra a través de un agudo diálogo entre el autor y el maestro, hasta conformar un atractivo ensayo, intenso y apasionado, sobre la historia y cultura españolas en sus claves más importantes, y en sus demonios característicos y redivivos. Un retrato espléndido que desprende por doquier la natural grandeza del maestro, cuya lección ilumina con finísima ironía la España democrática que va de la Transición al año 2000. Agustín García Simón (Montemayor –Valladolid–, 1953). Editor, escritor y periodista, ha dedicado su vida profesional a la cultura del libro, aunque sigue atento a la actualidad en sus colaboraciones en distintos medios periodísticos. En los últimos treinta años ha dirigido la edición de cientos de libros, seis de los cuales han merecido premios nacionales a los libros mejor editados. Su inclinación por la historia y el humanismo le han llevado a una exigente labor editorial en la que han primado los temas y figuras más abiertos y universales de la cultura y lengua españolas de naturaleza castellana. Entre sus grandes obras como editor destacan: Historia de una Cultura (4 vols.), 1995-1996; Historia de la Ciencia y de la Técnica en la Corona de Castilla (4 vols.), 2002; o la recuperación histórica de los Viajes de extranjeros por España y Portugal (6 vols.), 1999, de don José García Mercadal. Ha publicado ensayos sobre viajes y viajeros extranjeros por España, pero como autor es conocido, fundamentalmente, por el libro que dedicó al retiro del emperador Carlos V: El ocaso del emperador. Carlos V en Yuste (1995). Como narrador se dio a conocer con una singular novela: Valcarlos (Premio Miguel Delibes de narrativa, 2005); y, sobre todo, con los doce relatos que reunió en su última obra: Cuando leas esta carta, yo habré muerto (2009).

African-American Holiness Pentecostal Movement by Sherry S. DuPree Pdf
First Published in 1996. Those of us who aspire to know about the black church in the African-American experience are never satisfied.

That goal will never be attained, of course, but there do remain many conquerable worlds. Sherry Sherrod DuPree set her mind to conquering one of those worlds. She has persisted, with the results detailed here. A huge number of items are available to inform us about Holiness, Pentecostal, and Charismatic congregations and organizations in the African-American Christian community.

American and European Values by John Lachs Pdf
American and European Values: Contemporary Philosophical Perspectives is a collection of essays by contemporary scholars considering key aspects of intersection and encounter between American and European values in the contemporary world. The truly international makeup of twenty-one contributors enlivens the book's theme in surprising, and frequently edifying ways. The authors consider, in places with revealing frankness, the cultural sensibilities unique to America and Europe, key historical philosophic figures, from John Dewey, Josiah Royce, and William James to Jean-Paul Sartre, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Mikhail Bakhtin. They also take up various philosophic trends and movements unique to the American and European traditions, including pragmatism, existentialism, phenomenology, and logical-linguistic analysis. Readers interested in deepening their understanding of the increasingly vital philosophical problems that continue to emerge with growing trends of globalization are invited into this rich conversation.

When seriously ill, what contributes to a sense of being truly cared for and respected? This compelling book explores healthcare inequalities by listening closely to Black and Latina women with breast cancer. It puts their stories into conversation with current healthcare statistics, sharp theological imagination, healthcare providers, and social ethics. Vigen contends that ethicists, healthcare providers, and scholars arrive at an adequate understanding of human dignity and personhood only when they take seriously the experiences and needs of those most vulnerable due to systemic inequalities.
