Quiara Alegría Hudes’ stage adaptation of her much-lauded memoir is a joyous celebration of Puerto Rican womanhood in 1990s West Philadelphia.In this memoir-turned-play, Hudes showcases a handful of key life moments that mark subtle changes in her sense of self and her place in the world. Interlaid between these vignettes are moments of song, dance, and ritual that evoke her boisterous girlhood in a house run by the Perez women. Through this piece, we come to understand the collaborative art that was Hudes’s coming of age, and the communal nature of autobiography.

Volume III covers the Iberian Empires and the important ethnic dimension of the Ibero-American independence movements, revealing the contrasting dynamics created by the Spanish imperial crisis at home and in the colonies. It bears out the experimental nature of political changes, the shared experiences and contrasts across different areas, and the connections to the revolutionary French Caribbean. The special nature of the emancipatory processes launched in the European metropoles of Spain and Portugal is explored, as are the connections between Spanish America and Brazil, as well as between Brazil and Portuguese Africa. It ends with an assessment of Brazil and how the survival of slavery is shown to have been essential to the new monarchy, although simultaneously, enslaved people began pressing their own demands, just like the indigenous population.

Después de la tormenta, viene la calma, sin embargo a su paso dejó huellas que no tan fácil se borran. En el presente libro Llantos del silencio, un apasionado Elvis Dino Esquivel expresa nuevamente su fuente infinita de inspiración con sentimentales poemas románticos, melancólicos y filosóficos, donde su inquietud por expresar lo que siente su corazón lo lleva a un estado de profunda reflexión en el cual cuestiona su propia existencia y al mundo que lo rodea. Los poemas de Elvis Dino Esquivel proyectan en ocasiones emociones desbordadas, imágenes simbólicas que esconden la realidad de la que habla, la purificación la lleva a cabo entre imágenes fantásticas y surrealistas en ocasiones, pero expresando siempre su visión particular, y la manera tan singular en que expresa sus pensamientos y emociones.

Another justice is possible. Genocide in the Neighborhood documents the theories, debates, successes, and failures of a rebellious tactic to build popular power and transformative justice.Genocide in the Neighborhood explores the autonomist practice of the "escrache," a series of public shamings that emerged in the late 1990s to honor the lives of those tens of thousands disappeared and exterminated under the Argentinean military dictatorship (1976 to 1983) and to protest the amnesty granted to perpetrators of state violence. Through a series of hypotheses and two sets of interviews, Colectivo Situaciones highlights the theories, debates, successes, and failures of the escraches-those direct and decentralized ways to agitate for justice that Brian Whitener defines as ?something between a march, an action or happening, and a public shaming." Genocide in the Neighborhood also follows the popular Argentine uprising in 2001, a period of intense social unrest and political creativity that led to the collapse of government after government. The power that ordinary people developed for themselves in public space soon gave birth to a movement of neighborhoods organizing themselves into hundreds of popular assemblies across the country, while the unemployed took over streets and workers occupied factories. These events marked a sea change, a before and an after for Argentina that has since resonated around the world. In its wake Genocide in the Neighborhood investigates the nature of rebellion, discusses the value of historical and cultural memory to resistance, and tactfully deploys a much-needed model of political resistance that has recently been given new life by feminist groups across Latin America organizing against patriarchal violence.

Fully-illustrated, The Passenger collects the best new writing, photography, art and reportage from around the world.IN THIS VOLUME: Underground Tenochtitlan by Guadalupe Nettel - Crime and (No) Punishment by Juan Villoro - The Birth of Fridolatry by Valeria Luiselli - plus: the cocaine that washes in from the sea and the pearl of the west, the jungle train and the last stop on the line, femicide and TikTok politics, mole, rice, the Virgin of Guadalupe and much more ...Once synonymous with escape and freedom, Mexico is now more frequently described as a place plagued by widespread violence, drug trafficking, endemic corruption, and uncontrolled migration. Under the patina of a tourist paradise--with its beaches, its ancient ruins, its tequila--lies a complex, dynamic country trying to carve out a place for itself in the shadow of its powerful neighbor.The most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world, Mexico is also home to 89 indigenous peoples and languages: one of the many contradictory legacies of the country's colonial past, which still permeates its politics, society, religion, food, and culture. With a fifth of the population identifying as indigenous, the issue of rediscovering and revaluing the country's pre-Columbian roots is at the center of the public debate. The controversial Mayan train project, which would connect Mexico's Caribbean resorts with the South's archaeological sites, crossing (and endangering) communities and forests, is a perfect example of the opposition between the two souls of the country.The attempts to resolve this contradiction, or better still to learn to live with it, will define the Mexico of the future. Only by recognizing equal status to ethnic and linguistic minorities will the country be able to reconcile its fractured identity.

"The first full-length English translation of Chinese Peruvian writer Julia Wong Kcomt, A Blind Salmon engages in her characteristic unflinching plumbing of the human body and traces fanged emotions with sticky precision, and also explores mothering, multilinguality, madness. A Blind Salmon, Chinese Peruvian writer Julia Wong Kcomt's sixth collection of poetry, is her first full-length collection in English. Written while she was living in Buenos Aires, the collection crosses borders between Berlin, Buenos Aires, Chepâen, Tijuana, and Vienna; ranges over mothering, multilinguality, madness; takes up sameness and differences; and is shot through with desert sand. In these poems, Wong Kcomt engages in her characteristic unflinching plumbing of the human body and traces fanged emotions with sticky precision. She renders homage to the Peruvian poet Jorge Eduardo Eielson, who died in Milan as she was writing these poems. She fingers the filmy line between poetry and narrative prose. She builds a lyrical menagerie"--

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Literaturwissenschaft - Lateinamerika, Note: 1,0, Universität Passau, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Jahr 1968 gab es tiefe Gräben in der mexikanischen Gesellschaft, die sich durch wochenlange Proteste, hauptsächlich durch Student*innen organisiert, äußerten. Diese verliefen bis zu jener eskalierenden Nacht weitestgehend friedlich, jedoch wurde das Massaker von Tlatelolco (Matanza de Tlatelolco) von der Regierung gezielt geplant und durchgeführt. Hauptverantwortlich dafür war der damalige Präsident Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, der die Student*innendemonstrationen durch Militär und Geheimpolizei blutig niederschlagen ließ. Zu Beginn dieser Arbeit möchte ich die Beweggründe aufzeigen, die zur verheerenden Nacht von Tlatelolco führten.Im weiteren Verlauf wird die Bedeutsamkeit des behandelten Werkes "La noche de Tlatelolco" beleuchtet. Durch die Zusammenstellung von Zeitungsberichten, Polizeiberichten sowie Zeugenaussagen verschiedener Sichtweisen, hat Elena Poniatowska ein fundamental essenzielles Werk geschaffen, das die Gräueltaten jener Nacht bis ins kleinste Detail beschreibt und somit an die Öffentlichkeit brachte. Es ist die erste Literatur zur Aufdeckung von Ereignissen, die durch minutiöse Nachforschung das Ausmaß dieses Massakers ans Tageslicht brachte. Mexikanische Journalist*innen sowie die Weltpresse waren dazu nicht in der Lage bzw. wurden von der Regierung mundtot gemacht. Ohne die Bemühungen von Elena Poniatowska wüsste die Allgemeinheit wohl sehr wenig über die Geschehnisse.Darauf aufbauend wird in dieser Arbeit vertieft die damalige Vertuschung der Ereignisse durch die Regierung im Rahmen der zehn Tage später stattfindenden Olympischen Spiele dargelegt. Die Olympiade 1968 in Mexiko-Stadt war ein Prestigeprojekt der mexikanischen Regierung und somit musste die Planung und Durchführung makellos sein, um Mexiko als exotisches, lebensfrohes und wirtschaftlich stabiles Land zu repräsentieren. Der Druck war enorm, denn es waren die ersten Spiele auf lateinamerikanischem Boden. In Anbetracht der Geheimhaltung wird dahingehend auf andere Olympiaden verwiesen, die ähnliche Motive hatten und Parallelen aufweisen.Des Weiteren ist die Reaktion mexikanischer Intellektueller zu betrachten. In den 1960er Jahren waren lateinamerikanische Schriftsteller*innen äußerst beliebt und schrieben Weltliteratur. Dementsprechend war auch der Einfluss dieser Größen immens und ihre Reaktionen waren für Bevölkerung und Gesellschaft ausgesprochen wichtig.

Die Studie schreibt eine transatlantische Kulturgeschichte der Beziehungen zwischen Europa und Hispanoamerika an der Schwelle vom 18. zum 19. Jahrhundert. Am Beispiel der beiden Hauptwerke des neuspanischen Dominikanermönchs fray Servando Teresa de Mier (1763-1827) untersucht sie, wie hispanoamerikanische Schriftsteller der Sattelzeit geographische, kulturelle, gattungstheoretische und diskursive Grenzregime überschritten und dadurch nicht nur die politische Unabhängigkeit der spanischen Kolonien in Hispanoamerika vorbereitet, sondern auch deren literarische Unabhängigkeit ins Werk gesetzt haben. Indem sie Miers Historia de la Revolución de Nueva España (1813) und seine sogenannten Memorias (1817-1820) mit vergleichbaren Werken von europäischen und hispanoamerikanischen Zeitgenossen in Beziehung setzt, gelingt ihr der Nachweis, dass der kreolische Autor bewusst kanonische Gattungsmuster aus Europa transformiert, um eine eigene "expresión americana" (J. Lezama Lima) zu begründen. Auf diese Weise leuchtet der Band nicht nur das Panorama emanzipatorischen Schreibens in der Zeit zwischen dem Ende der Kolonialzeit und der beginnenden Unabhängigkeit aus, sondern auch dessen Potential für die hispanoamerikanische Literatur des 20. und frühen 21. Jahrhunderts.

"Cubantropâia (Cubanthropy) is a work of cultural criticism whose title is a neologism coined by the author to describe the energy between anthropology and entropy, the space between the street and the library, the island and the world. These collected essays, written in Ivâan de la Nuez's trademark ironic, erudite style, range in subject matter from the Berlin Wall to Havana's Malecâon. This book examines recent clashes between the market and democracy, the digital era and post-colonialism, the centre and the periphery, utopia and tourism, the diaspora and the nation, racism and Big Data, Guantâanamo and Reggaeton, soccer and baseball, Obama and the Rolling Stones, Europe and Donald Trump. It is written between the socialist perspective of the Cold War and the neoliberal perspective of subsequent years, and is equally critical of both and of geopolitics in the age of globalization. The author, Cuban art critic and curator Ivâan de la Nuez does not seek to explain his motherland to the world but uses it as a scaled-down referent in which contemporary socio-political conflicts are intensified. Though Fidel Castro and his death are omnipresent in this collection of essays, the word "Castro" intentionally appears less often than "future," "art," "life," or "journey." In Cubantropâia, Cuba is not a separate, discreet place, but a miniature of the world and its conflicts. Cubantropâia can be read as an intellectual autobiography, a map of itineraries of New Men born out of the revolution, or a bacchanalia of the consequences that arise from a world obsessed with causes and culprits"--
