En POR SI NO AMANECE / IN CASE DAWN NEVER COMES, Belkis M. Marte nos ofrece un balcón desde donde podemos atestiguar (a quemarropa) el incendio de un amor: su ardiente principio, su fulgor, y su inminente deceso, a la vez que muestra en cada verso, el valor de la mujer que lucha por sobrevivir al desengaño.Toda expresión poética obedece a una avalancha emocional que amenaza con arropar y sofocar a su creadora o creador. Dicha avalancha solo se contiene en la represa del verso. Desde el alto y transparente portón que los poetas erigen, el lector, de una forma u otra, logra acceder a este íntimo cataclismo.

Join author and filmmaker James Weeks as he delves into the ancient Ifa spiritual tradition that led his family to healing. Absorb his stories as he travels abroad, tapping into the spirit realm and showing us ways to commune with our ancestors while discovering our purpose on Earth. His story has already touched tens of thousands of lives. Complete with updated chapters, this new edition of Meditations Across the King's River reaches deep into the soul, urging us to open ourselves to our spirit guides and embrace their gifts."Like the ancient wisdom gatherers, James Weeks has walked from village to village, island to island, country to country, collecting dispersed pieces of knowledge. Along the way he has acquired an intricate trove of family memories, blessed encounters, and lessons learned. He is the storyteller that can engage your soul." ~ Monique Clendinen Watson "To fully understand the impact of generational wealth, we need only look at one telling statistic. Roughly one-third of Forbes 400 richest Americans inherited some or all their wealth. James Weeks addresses the life-altering impact of generational wealth in this important book. For African Americans, denied generational wealth by slavery, Jim Crowism, redlining, and institutionalized racism, this is a timely and critical issue." ~Melvin Claxton, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Uncommon Valor: The Story of Race, Patriotism, and Glory in the Final Battles of the Civil War"Meditations Across the King's River beautifully interweaves African spiritual wisdom and guidance for living. Through James' various life experiences, the reader is taken on an adventure which captivates the heart and the imagination. It is filled with nourishing, cultural gems of knowledge, plus spiritual tips and advice. The healing and motivational energy from this inspiring piece is very empowering!"~Verona Spence-AdofoAncestral Voices Co-founder "From James' encounter with an amazing healer in Jamaica to the touching tribute to the great Ifa priest, Dr. Afolabi Epega, Meditations Across the King's River is a masterpiece that provides an intimate experience with African culture and spirituality that most of us have thought long gone. Many thanks to Baba James Weeks and his ancestors for this great work!"~Chief Oluwo Obafemifayemi Founder of the Obafemifayemi Institute for the Divine and Universal Study of IFA (O.I.D.S.I.)

Joyce Nassar Huna Waharina is a survivor of her own past which was filled with abuse, violence, addictions, depression & trauma, anxiety and burnout. She was under the hells of life and was abandoned medically and by those around her. She lived in a whirlpool of inner self-destruction and constant sadness. Always looking to be loved, seen and valued for who she was, not how she was supposed to function or be molded. Somewhere along the way, she lost herself in all the diagnoses she had received, living out her own self-abandonment, resistance and depression. 14 years ago, at the age of 30, she was told that this state of hopelessness, pain and permanent inner darkness was chronic and that she had to learn to live with it. This statement lit a new fire in her. She made a decision to finally live. Without even knowing what real LIFE was, she began her journey. She began to believe in herself, found ways to heal herself and activate her own self-healing powers, changed her outlook on life and became healthy. Today she stands for hope, belief in oneself and never giving up.Her poems are a journey from 1993-2010, through her darkness, depressions and moments of hope. Let yourself be inspired by a journey in darkness that led more and more into the light.

Diamela Eltit's literary work emerged on the Chilean cultural scene in the 1980s when the Pinochet regime (1973-1990) had consolidated its project of extermination, censorship, and neoliberal shock therapy. Forced to write in a suffocating atmosphere of restriction and violence, Eltit boldly cultivated a radical, insurrectional poetics aimed at questioning the very underpinnings of authoritarian power and discourse.While Eltit's novels, published between 1983 and the present, provide a remarkable vision of Chile that has evolved over the past decades, she offers a different vantage point through her prolific and rigorous cultivation of literary essays.Translated for the first time into English, this collection of Eltit's essays allows readers to delve into her key concerns as a writer and intellectual: the neoliberal marketplace; the marginalization of bodies in society; questions of gender and power; struggles for memory, truth, and justice after dictatorship; and the ever-complex relationships among politics, ethics, and aesthetics.

While Milly sought a career in Design, Andy joined the Navy and began training as a SEAL, but after an auto accident led to his leg being amputated, he was discharged and with his dreams all but destroyed, chose to live on the sea, piloting a boat and doing his best to make a living.While working for a hotel chain, Milly was tasked with working on a new property in the Caribbean, but even though she was worried about a future hurricane, her boss ignored the threat until it was too late and the two were now trapped in the path of a Category Five Hurricane. Using her contacts, Milly managed to call home to warn her family about her predicament and her father contacted Andy's family. When Andy learned that Milly was trapped, it brought back all those memories of her and realizing she meant more to him than anything else, he contacted his old Navy buddies and using a borrowed boat, they were able to barely reach the island alive just after the storm passed.Arriving safely was one thing, finding the love of his life was something even more difficult in the destruction and chaos now engulfing the island. Reaching her last known location, Andy was upset to find she was gone and frantically searched the surrounding area until he was able to decide where she had gone and had a difficult time reaching her before they were able to plan how to safely leave the island.

CubaRican is a bilingual sequence of vignettes and poems based on the author's experiences growing up in Puerto Rico as a Cuban exile. Evoking childhood memories, the author explores the feelings of a boy developing an identity in a place that seems both familiar and alien. Throughout this loose chronology, parents, siblings, and childhood friends serve as symbols for the increasing sense of conflict the boy grapples with and struggles to identify. Describing both the Puerto Rican countryside and its urban grit, the maturing narrator eventually comes to grips with both sides of his Caribbean self.

Explores the adaptation of Hinduism and Islam in diasporic settings and inter-religious relations in the Girmit diaspora.

Extending from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century, The Cambridge History of Cuban Literature is the first book in English to tell the intricate story of Cuban literary-intellectual culture from the seventeenth-century to the twenty-first century. This landmark book highlights the intricacies of linguistic and cultural translation embodied in telling a story in English about a body of work expressed predominantly in Spanish, but also French, Haitian Kreyòl, Angolan Portuguese, and English. Broad in its scope, this book encompasses such major figures as Gómez de Avellaneda, Heredia, Plácido, Manzano, Villaverde, Martí, Casal, Carpentier, L. Cabrera, Mañach, Loynaz, Piñera, Lezama Lima, and Cabrera Infante, as well as theatre and performance groups, film, post-revolutionary projects, post-1989 Special Period writers, and literature of Cuba's diasporas. It highlights four key features weaving through Cuban literary history: its engagement with international networks; its key role in cultural identity debates throughout Latin America; persistent debates about race, gender, and class; and the tropes of travel and movement-voluntary, exploratory, enslaved, migratory, or exilic.

Sandhed og løgn. Jamaica og England. Hvem har ret til at fortælle? Zadie Smith er tilbage med sin første historiske roman.Kilburn, 1873. Tichborne-sagen har hele Englands udelte opmærksomhed, og enke og husholderske mrs. Eliza Touchet er ingen undtagelse. Folk er rygende uenige om, hvorvidt tiltalte er den, han siger han er – eller en bedrager.Mrs. Touchet er en kvinde med mange interesser: litteratur, kampen for de slavegjortes rettigheder, klassesamfundet, sin fætter som er romanforfatter og hans koner, det jordiske liv og evigheden. Men hun er også skeptisk anlagt og overbevist om at kun få ting er, som de ser ud.Andrew Bogle er kronvidne i Tichborne-sagen, og hans fremtid afhænger af at han fortæller den rette historie – hvis bare han vidste, hvad det ville sige. Med sin opvækst på en plantage i Jamaica i bagagen ved han, at hver en sukkerknald har menneskelige omkostninger. At de rige fører de fattige bag lyset. Og at mennesker er nemmere at manipulere med, end de selv ved af.Bedrageren er baseret på virkelige begivenheder. Et glitrende monument over en verden af hykleri og selvbedrag, hvor det at afgøre hvad der er sandt, er sværere, end man skulle tro.
