We Are Aztlán! by Norma Cárdenas,Oscar Rosales Castañeda,Josué Q. Estrada,Theresa Meléndez,Carlos Maldonado,Rachel Maldonado,Dylan Miner,Ernesto Todd Mireles,Dionicio Valdés Pdf

Mexican Americans/Chicana/os/Chicanx form a majority of the overall Latino population in the United States. In this collection, established and emerging Chicanx researchers diverge from the discipline’s traditional Southwest focus to offer academic and non-academic perspectives specifically on the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest. Their multidisciplinary papers address colonialism, gender, history, immigration, labor, literature, sociology, education, and religion, setting El Movimiento (the Chicanx movement) and the Chicanx experience beyond customary scholarship and illuminating how Chicanxs have challenged racialization, marginalization, and isolation in the northern borderlands. Contributors to We Are Aztlan! include Norma Cardenas (Eastern Washington University), Oscar Rosales Castaneda (activist, writer), Josue Q. Estrada (University of Washington), Theresa Melendez (Michigan State University, emeritus), the late Carlos Maldonado, Rachel Maldonado (Eastern Washington University, retired), Dylan Miner (Michigan State University), Ernesto Todd Mireles (Prescott College), and Dionicio Valdes (Michigan State University). Winner of a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title.

Revelation in Aztlán by Jacqueline M. Hidalgo Pdf

Bridging the fields of Religion and Latina/o Studies, this book fills a gap by examining the “spiritual” rhetoric and practices of the Chicano movement. Bringing new theoretical life to biblical studies and Chicana/o writings from the 1960s, such as El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán and El Plan de Santa Barbara, Jacqueline M. Hidalgo boldly makes the case that peoples, for whom historical memories of displacement loom large, engage scriptures in order to make and contest homes. Movement literature drew upon and defied the scriptural legacies of Revelation, a Christian scriptural text that also carries a displaced homing dream. Through the slipperiness of utopian imaginations, these texts become places of belonging for those whose belonging has otherwise been questioned. Hidalgo’s elegant comparative study articulates as never before how Aztlán and the new Jerusalem’s imaginative power rest in their ambiguities, their ambivalence, and the significance that people ascribe to them.

Heart of Aztlan by Rudolfo Anaya Pdf

PEN Center West Award Winner: A novel of myth and migration set in a mid-twentieth–century New Mexico barrio, by the author of Bless Me, Ultima. Today is the day Benjie Chávez and his family will leave the town of Guadalupe behind. Far from the land of the eagle and the nopal, they travel west to find a new home of opportunity. But adapting to the big, impersonal city of Albuquerque is no easy task. As both life and death come to the barrio, a blind seer named Crispin arrives in the Chávezes’ world. At first everyone dismisses his stories about an elusive place called Aztlán as the ramblings of an old man. But gradually, they come to realize that he can see what they cannot. In earthy prose, American Book Award–winning author Rudolfo Anaya tells a spellbinding story of myth and migration, love and loss. Heart of Atzlán is a hopeful and heartbreaking novel about people in search of the shimmering mirage of a better life—and the land that keeps calling them back.

China:The Aztlan Protocol by Aldéric Au Pdf

A very realistic geopolitical thriller, with all the elements of hybrid warfare, that begins with a murder. In Beijing, the delayed 22nd Communist Party Congress offers an opportunity to the PLA. The elite power brokers and party elders are unable to agree the new leadership line-up. The political stand-off starts fueling international tension surrounding Taiwan and the Diaoyu Islands. The PLA, taking advantage of the situation, seeks to bring matters to a head and resolve the Taiwan, South China Sea and Diaoyu island disputes by force. Or is it that simple? The ambition and designs of China create opportunities for others. In Mexico City, a multi-billionaire uses the conflict to further his ambitions for Mexico. In a diplomatic initiative with echoes of the 1917 Zimmermann Telegram, China makes a move to ensure Mexican and wider Latin American support for China. The implications dawn on a shocked America. As China unleashes its accumulated reserves of financial, economic and diplomatic power, will the debt-burdened and divided United States be able to respond? Will China’s massive gold and foreign exchange reserves and its dominance in global trade and world GDP help it prevail? The US finds itself isolated in confronting China. The Pentagon's attempts to gain the upper hand display a hopeless misunderstanding of the nature of the challenge. As World War Three threatens, is conflict with China inevitable? The First Battle of the Philippine Sea was a decisive naval battle of World War II, which eliminated the Imperial Japanese Navy and decided the war. Will the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea be the decisive naval battle of World War III? In the tradition of all great naval battles both sides will try to inflict a strategic disaster on the other, while avoiding such a fate themselves. Will victory favor the aggressive leadership and battle plan of the Americans or the conservative battle plan of the Chinese? As the crisis deepens and war looms, both sides field their latest technological secrets, in an unseen war in space and the cyber-sphere, as each seeks the virtual high ground in this prescient technothriller. Will we witness a reordering of the international hierarchy - the yielding of global hegemony - as an old empire attempts to replace the new and reclaim its rightful position? Is this fictional account of a clash between the United States and China - that has the unsettling qualities of a techno thriller deploying real and recognizable technical, financial, and military developments discernible today - what we can expect in 2032?

Bringing Aztlan to Mexican Chicago by Jose Gamaliel Gonzalez Pdf

Bringing Aztlán to Mexican Chicago is the autobiography of Jóse Gamaliel González, an impassioned artist willing to risk all for the empowerment of his marginalized and oppressed community. Through recollections emerging in a series of interviews conducted over a period of six years by his friend Marc Zimmerman, González looks back on his life and his role in developing Mexican, Chicano, and Latino art as a fundamental dimension of the city he came to call home. Born near Monterey, Mexico, and raised in a steel mill town in northwest Indiana, González studied art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame. Settling in Chicago, he founded two major art groups: El Movimiento Artístico Chicano (MARCH) in the 1970s and Mi Raza Arts Consortium (MIRA) in the 1980s. With numerous illustrations, this book portrays González's all-but-forgotten community advocacy, his commitments and conflicts, and his long struggle to bring quality arts programming to the city. By turns dramatic and humorous, his narrative also covers his bouts of illness, his relationships with other artists and arts promoters, and his place within city and barrio politics.

A Luis Leal Reader by Luis Leal Pdf

Since his first publication in 1942, Luis Leal has likely done more than any other writer or scholar to foster a critical appreciation of Mexican, Chicano, and Latin American literature and culture. This volume, bringing together a representative selection of Leal’s writings from the past sixty years, is at once a wide-ranging introduction to the most influential scholar of Latino literature and a critical history of the field as it emerged and developed through the twentieth century. Instrumental in establishing Mexican literary studies in the United States, Leal’s writings on the topic are especially instructive, ranging from essays on the significance of symbolism, culture, and history in early Chicano literature to studies of the more recent use of magical realism and of individual New Mexican, Tejano, and Mexican authors such as Juan Rulfo, Carlos Fuentes, José Montoya, and Mariano Azuela. Clearly and cogently written, these writings bring to bear an encyclopedic knowledge, a deep understanding of history and politics, and an unparalleled command of the aesthetics of storytelling, from folklore to theory. This collection affords readers the opportunity to consider—or reconsider—Latino literature under the deft guidance of its greatest reader.
