Book Description
Este libro ofrece 73 pautas ingeniosas, sencillas y sin embargo eficaces que simplifican nuestra labor como consumidores y consumidoras sin sermonear ni culpabilizar, y nos allanan el camino hacia un modo de vida más responsable. Consumir de manera consciente, es decir, teniendo en cuenta las implicaciones sociales y medioambientales, parece una meta cada vez más difícil de alcanzar. Pero al igual que el voto, toda opción ligada al consumo es a fin de cuentas una decisión política con la que día a día perfilamos nuestra realidad, pues implica intereses de todo tipo que, sin saberlo, podemos estar apoyando en contra de nuestros propios valores. Apelando al sentido común que habita en todos nosotros y eludiendo cualquier tipo de fanatismo, Brenda Chávez entreteje de manera hábil y amena una serie de datos sorprendentes, ejemplos reveladores y consejos prácticos al alcance de cualquier persona. El primer paso para desprogramar unas lógicas de mercado que tenemos totalmente interiorizadas y que ejercen en nosotros una influencia poderosa sin que apenas nos demos cuenta.

Lady Eleanor Ramsay is the only one who knows the truth about Hart Mackenzie. Once his fiancee, she is the sole woman to whom he could ever pour out his heart.

Cecilia Valdés or El Angel Hill
Author: Cirilo Villaverde
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199725233
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.
