Bøger om Caribien

Accompanying a major exhibition at The Museum at FIT, Latin American and Latinx Fashion Design Today: ¡Moda Hoy! examines Latin American and Latinx fashion design from the past 20 years, asking "What is Latin American fashion design in the 21st century"?The book seeks to explore the sociohistorical influences and cultural dynamics that have propelled the development of the unique sartorial bricolage that is Latin American and Latinx fashion. Through a series of themes and topics favored by contemporary designers - including Indigenous heritage, art, sustainable design, politics, gender, elegance, and popular culture - it highlights established designers with a strong international presence, such as Isabel Toledo, Carolina Herrera, Rick Owens, Oscar de la Renta, Carla Fernández, and Gabriela Hearst. Accompanied by regional brands and emerging talents, and case studies that take an in-depth look into specific designers, and beautifully illustrated in full color throughout, Latin American and Latinx Fashion Design Today is essential reading for fashion enthusiasts who have an overlapping interest in Latin American studies, and all who appreciate the history and visual culture of fashion and Latin America.

"The rise and imposition of military dictatorships in South America in the late twentieth century holds particular relevance today as the world has experienced a broad resurgence of authoritarianism. This publication marks the fiftieth anniversary of Chile's coup d'âetat, whic was led by Augusto Pinochet and ushered in seventeen years of repression. Chile's reign of terro under military dictatorship had counterparts in the continent's other 'Southern Cone' countries--Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay--as democracy fell to dictatorial rule. In time, citizens across the continent and abroad bonded in their fight against authoritarianism. Rising against oppression, they were supported by local, regional, hemispheric, and international organizations, solidarity groups, and persons in exile. By 1990, when Chile began its return to democracy, all the region's countries had--in varying degrees--repudiated the military-authoritarian model. Dictators and the Disappeared: Democracy Lost and Restored is a timely look at a tumultuous period in Latin American history. Essays represent a range of topics and perspectives considering political events and what it means to live and struggle today with the legacies of past dictatorships. The book features artwork from the collections of the Albuquerque Museum and the University of New Mexico's Sam L. Slick and Chile Ephemera collections"--Page 4 of cover.

Nowhere in the United States did the Age of Democratic Revolution exert as profound an influence as in New Orleans. In 1809-10, refugees of the Haitian Revolution doubled the size of the city. In 1811, hundreds of Saint-Dominguan, African, and Louisianan plantation workers marched downriver toward the city in the nation's largest-ever slave revolt. Itinerant revolutionaries from throughout the Atlantic congregated in New Orleans in the cause of Latin American independence. Together with the refugee soldiers of the Haitian Revolution (both Black and white), their presence proved decisive in the Battle of New Orleans. After defeating the British, the soldiers rejoined the struggle against Spanish imperialism. In Creole New Orleans in the Revolutionary Atlantic, 1775-1877, Caryn Cossé Bell sets forth these momentous events and much more to document the revolutionary era's impact on the city. Bell's study begins with the 1883 memoir of Hélène d'Aquin Allain, a French Creole and descendant of the refugee community, who grew up in antebellum New Orleans. Allain's d'Aquin forebears fought alongside the Savarys, a politically influential free family of color, in the Haitian Revolution. Forced from Saint-Domingue/Haiti, the allied families retreated to New Orleans. Bell's reconstruction of the d'Aquin family network, interracial alliances, and business partnerships provides a productive framework for exploring the city's presence at the crossroads of the revolutionary Atlantic. Residing in New Orleans in the heyday of French Romanticism, Allain experienced a cultural revolution that exerted an enormous influence on religious beliefs, literature, politics, and even, as Bell documents, the practice of medicine in the city. In France, the highly politicized nature of the movement culminated in the 1848 French Revolution with its abolition of slavery and enfranchisement of freed men and women. During the Civil War and Reconstruction, the Afro-Creole leaders of the diasporic community pointed to events in France and stood in the forefront of the struggle to revolutionize race relations in their own nation. As Bell demonstrates, their cultural and political legacy remains a formidable presence in twenty-first-century New Orleans.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Literaturwissenschaft - Lateinamerika, Note: 1,7, Universität Passau, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gegenstand dieser Seminararbeit ist die Kritik Isabel Allendes in ihrem Buch "Más allá del invierno" an den politischen Interventionen in Lateinamerika. Sie prangert die Vorgehensweise der USA im 20. Jahrhundert sowie die daraus entstandene politische und gesellschaftliche Instabilität in Lateinamerika an, die bis heute in Form von illegaler Migration sowie Menschenhandel anhält. Jedoch profitiert Allende auch von den unzähligen Erwähnungen historischer Kontexte bezüglich amerikanischer Einmischungen und erhöht dadurch ebenfalls die Bandbreite ihrer Leserschaft. Des Weiteren lebt sie bereits seit etlichen Jahren in den USA und genießt dort hohe Anerkennung. Zunächst beleuchte ich die geschichtlichen Hinter- sowie Beweggründe der politischen Eingriffe der USA in Lateinamerika. Daraufhin verknüpfe ich diese Thematik mit der Intention Allendes und ihrer persönlichen Beziehung zu ihrem Heimatland Chile sowie zu den USA. Abschließend stelle ich die Folgen für die Bevölkerung sowie den aktuellen Bezug dar und gehe dabei auf die resultierende illegale Migration ein. Beginnend mit der Kolonialisierung des Kontinents, hauptsächlich durch die Spanier sowie Portugiesen bis hin zu politischen Interventionen im 19. beziehungsweise 20. Jahrhundert, vor allem durch die Vereinigten Staaten, prägt dieses Eingreifen bis heute die lateinamerikanische Literatur und Gesellschaft. Unzählige Autoren verarbeiten ihre persönlichen Erlebnisse in ihren Werken und verknüpfen ihre Erfahrungen mit fiktiven Handlungen und Charakteren. Diese Einflüsse spiegeln sich ebenfalls in mehreren Werken von Isabel Allende wider, insbesondere in "Más allá del invierno". Aufgrund der zunehmenden politischen Einflussnahme der USA, dem daraus resultierenden Militärputsch sowie der Machtübernahme Augusto Pinochets flüchtete Allende nach Venezuela, um im Exil zu leben. Diese Ereignisse werden in ihren Werken immer wiederkehrend mit unterschiedlichen Figuren und Handlungen dargestellt. Speziell in "Más allá del invierno" könnte man denken es wäre autobiografisch zu verstehen. Vor allem die Figur Lucía Maraz weist einen ähnlich scheinenden Lebenslauf auf. Jedoch streitet Isabel Allende in verschiedenen Interviews ab, jemals autobiografische Literatur verfasst zu haben.

An exemplary story of solidarity in action, Cultivating a Revolutionary Spirit conveys the exhilarating experience of being part of paradigm-changing revolutions.Bill Lankford visited Nicaragua in 1984 to see the Sandinista revolution for himself. What he found led this physics professor to volunteer his skills teaching at the Central American University in Managua. There, he and his students developed a solar cooking project which took on a life of its own, spreading throughout the five countries of Central America.In Cultivating a Revolutionary Spirit, Bill describes how local women used the tools of carpentry to build solar ovens and how they used the tools of feminism to take more control over their own lives and their communities. Bill leveraged his personal resources as a white North American man—professionally educated, fluent in English, with access to money and connections—to facilitate the work of Central American women who started by building ovens and went on to create an array of projects to meet basic needs, improve health, and increase access to educational and leadership opportunities for women.

Antídoto para el olvido, la poesía es un faro que alumbra lo que corre el peligro de perderse en la cotidianidad, en las horas que nos arrastran sin clemencia. De ahí que la búsqueda de la felicidad sea una hazaña, y la poesía el medio para que tal empeño no se pierda en el caudal de los días que se suceden sin remedio.Benito Taibo nos invita en los poemas reunidos en este libro a redescubrir las maravillas que aguardan en cada esquina, a despertar cada mañana con el deseo de aprender algo nuevo, a evocar el dulce resquemor de los amores pretéritos y a soñar con el ojo puesto en las posibilidades de los tiempos venideros, siempre que hallemos en la memoria el salvamento.

La democracia se creó para dejar de ser esclavos de los reyes, los ciudadanos pasamos a ser soberanos, no se creó "una forma de gobierno" para ser esclavos de los políticos. El ciudadano soberano, ya sea individualmente o colectivamente, debe usar siempre sus poderes soberanos y jamás quedar víctima en manos de la autocreada "clase política". No se elige amigos; se elige extraños, que son lobos con las garras escondidas. Se crearon terceros, con la única nalidad que hagan la cosa común pública y el ciudadano soberano pueda hacer uso total de su tiempo en libertad para desarrollar sus capacidades y talentos, sin interferir a nadie, ni ser interferido, para la cual usa sus cuatro poderes soberanos en un correcto sistema de democracia creado por los ciudadanos, no por los políticos, porque lo que los políticos hacen es una democracia burlada, degenerada, donde ellos se ponen en el primer nivel del poder. Los políticos no tienen poder. Los reales creadores del correcto sistema de democracia, no inventaron políticos, ni ellos, son padres, "Padres de la Patria". Ellos se autocrearon aprovechando un vacío de poder, generado porque después de la eliminación del rey, los súbditos y vasallos pasaron a ser los ciudadanos soberanos y no estaban preparados y se supone que los ilustres más cali cados" lo harían. Nunca lo hicieron. Todo contrario, se convirtieron en los políticos y son un agelo de alimañas que usurpan los poderes de los ciudadanos soberanos y nos han arrojado a la caverna de la ignorancia cívico-civil. La forma de democracia que fabricaron estos "señores" es la gran estafa de los ambiciosos políticos, militares, terratenientes, latifundista, que incluye, jueces, scales, alcaldes y todos los terceros que aplican esta "forma de gobierno" en la que se eligen políticos y ocurre en todos los países del tercer mundo. Ahora ya sabemos la causa de la desgracia: no hay sistema de democracia; lo que hay es una degeneración social de enormes daños, sangre, muerte de gente inocente, nosotros, los ciudadanos soberanos que, al no conocer nuestros enormes poderes, con amos en esa cornucopia interminable de degenerados llamados políticos. Esto es algo que puedes cambiar si sales de la caverna de la ignorancia y aprendes a usar tus 4 poderes soberanos.

From 2001 to 2007, the world-renowned Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, underwent an ambitious expansion project that reorganized the spatial design of the museum and allowed for additional exhibition space. Coinciding with the completion of this large construction project were a series of celebrations surrounding the 2010 bicentenary of South American independence movements, a clear reminder of the complicated relationship between Spain and its former colonies in Latin America. Inspired by this significant historical moment and with an eye to diversifying its predominantly Spanish-centered permanent collection, the Prado Museum decides to host a competition for a new gallery of Latin American art. The game begins in 2010 as students, assuming the roles of curators, art patrons, living artists, and art dealers, set into motion a series of negotiation sessions that will help the museum decide which artworks to choose for the new gallery. Students will analyze a broad range of artistic movements and styles related to Latin American art from the twentieth to the twenty-first centuries, in an effort to support the acquisition of paintings that best represent the diverse artistic legacies and historical heritage of the region.

The Haitian Revolution was a powerful blow against colonialism and slavery, and as its thinkers and fighters blazed the path to universal freedom, they forced anticolonial, antislavery, and antiracist ideals into modern political grammar. The first state in the Americas to permanently abolish slavery, outlaw color prejudice, and forbid colonialism, Haitians established their nation in a hostile Atlantic World. Slavery was ubiquitous throughout the rest of the Americas and foreign nations and empires repeatedly attacked Haitian sovereignty. Yet Haitian writers and politicians successfully defended their independence while planting the ideological roots of egalitarian statehood. In Awakening the Ashes, Marlene L. Daut situates famous and lesser-known eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Haitian revolutionaries, pamphleteers, and political thinkers within the global history of ideas, showing how their systems of knowledge and interpretation took center stage in the Age of Revolutions. While modern understandings of freedom and equality are often linked to the French Declaration of the Rights of Man or the US Declaration of Independence, Daut argues that the more immediate reference should be to what she calls the 1804 Principle that no human being should ever again be colonized or enslaved, an idea promulgated by the Haitians who, against all odds, upended French empire.
