Thirty years after the death of the family's son and brother, Jesse, in Vietnam, the family has remained in many ways locked in a time of grief and pain. Having heard her son's voice, Alicia makes a vow to touch his name on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., and her decision inspires her warring children, along with hundreds of strangers across the country.Stella Pope Duarte portrays a family struggling with the universal scars suffered by all who have been touched by death through war. In this powerfully evocative novel, Pope Duarte connects family, friends, and an entire nation with the names on the Wall, honoring the men and women who served in Vietnam as well as those who watched and waited, but never forgot.

A powerful novel in verse from Newbery and Pura Belpré Award-winning author Margarita Engle about the friendship between a young girl and the poet Gabriela Mistral that leads to healing and hope for both of them.Cuban-born eleven-year-old Oriol lives in Santa Barbara, California, where she struggles to belong. But most of the time that’s okay, because she enjoys helping her parents care for the many injured animals at their veterinary clinic.Then Gabriela Mistral, the first Latin American winner of a Nobel Prize in Literature moves to town, and aspiring writer Oriol finds herself opening up. And when she discovers that someone is threatening the life of a baby elephant at her parents’ clinic, Oriol is determined to take action. As she begins to create a world of words for herself, Oriol learns it will take courage and strength to do what she thinks is right—even if it means keeping secrets from those she loves.A beautifully written, lyrically told story about the power of friendship—between generations, between humans and animals—and the potential of poetry to inspire action, justice, and acceptance.* "Replete with lovely, nearly magical imagery...Brilliant, joyful, and deeply moving." –Kirkus, starred review* "Employing immersive free verse that conveys themes of compassion, friendship, justice, and vulnerability, Engle captures how inexplicable Oriol’s grief feels, encasing it in a powerful, charitable, and brave young voice." –Publishers Weekly, starred review* "A novel written in verse that sings in your heart." –Pura Belpré Award-winning author Marjorie Agosín

La obra nace en el marco del proyecto Discurso institucional e imagen de la mujer: impacto comunicativo y social en Andalucía (US-1381061) y aborda la representación que se hace de la mujer en el discurso de las instituciones en el ámbito hispánico y sus implicaciones sociales. Los trabajos que la conforman abordan los niveles implicados en la producción discursiva: lingüístico, psicosocial, comunicativo y sociocultural, partiendo de la idea de que el imaginario social se crea y fija a través del discurso. Se denuncian los sesgos discriminatorios que se mantienen, dificultando el camino hacia la igualdad real y efectiva entre hombres y mujeres. Esta obra contribuye a evidenciar la necesidad de seguir investigando en las estrategias comunicativas como instrumento de cambio social.

Her duty is to rule.While running for her life, Catalina is rescued by Manuel, the son of her former general, who has spent years searching for allies. With his help, Catalina could find the city of gold that's home to the fierce Illari people and strike a deal with them for an army to retake her throne.But the elusive Illari are fighting a battle of their own-a mysterious blight is corrupting the jungle, laying waste to everything they hold dear. As a seer, Catalina should be able to help, but her ability to read the future in the stars is as feeble as her survival instincts.

Eighty Poems Like Swords Wrapped in Meteors, by poet Lionel Yino Sánchez, is a unique collection in three parts."Part One: The Offertory" introduces the reader to initiatory voices that make the struggle between mind and heart known.

"Gilbert's account gives readers a front-row seat on the country's communal movement as he chronicles the efforts of grassroots initiatives and gives voice to the communards living and working in communes such as El Panal, El Maizal, Che Guevara, and Luisa Câaceres. He blends these firsthand accounts of communal construction with theoretical reflections and historical insights. The central story of the book is how Venezuelan communes bring people together to democratically determine their ways of living and working, thus generating a new, non-alienated social metabolism that the communes also work to extend to the whole society. Along the way, readers learn how Venezuela's communal project draws inspiration from advanced Marxist theory-including the innovative work of Istvâan Mâeszâaros-and derives from Indigenous and Afro-Venezuelan traditions of communal self-governance"--

The lives of a scientist, his wife, and his patient collide, laying bare the carefully constructed political and personal narratives they have crafted for themselves.

"Terror is the given of the place." The place is El Salvador in 1982, at the ghastly height of its civil war. The writer is Joan Didion, who delivers an anatomy of that country's particular brand of terror-its mechanisms, rationales, and intimate relation to United States foreign policy.As ash travels from battlefields to body dumps, interviews a puppet president, and considers the distinctly Salvadoran grammar of the verb "to disappear," Didion gives us a book that is germane to any country in which bloodshed has become a standard tool of politics.

Providing an overview of the symbolism of different civilisational collapsing experiences, the book explores the complexity of the Mexican cultural context and analyses the different ways in which narratives of the end of a World exhibit several axiological dimensions. The book will focus on the multi-faceted character of the imaginary and its expressions as a way of exploring the content as well as the character of the eschatological and axiological narratives. The collection aims to be a book that deals with the different connections between imaginaries, narratives, and representations of the end of a world. Therefore the book's organisation will be an adempt to understand the different ways in which the end-time imaginaries turns into a complex scope of images, focusing on the content and the character of eschatological narratives.
