Book Description
El libro trata sobre historias basadas en la politica y sexualidad, donde los estudiantes de posgrado aprenden sobre historias en diferentes idiomas, para comprender la ficcion en los Estados Unidos. Todas las historias tienen un tema en el que la mayoria de ellas involucran relaciones masculinas y femeninas de la misma edad. Estas relaciones se basan en la Biblia, donde Dios creo a Adan y Eva en el sexto dia, lo que significa la misma edad y el sexo opuesto. Hay otros temas biblicos que incluyen la ciencia, entre otros mensajes, para que el lector se centre en cada palabra utilizada en estas historias. Los objetivos para escribir estas historias es lograr que las personas lean y desarrollen la lectura como un pasatiempo. Leer ficcion puede ser un escape de la realidad, para adentrarse en una imaginacion paradisiaca. Aquellos que se especializan en Literatura, probablemente, tendran una gran comprension de las historias cortas en "Pasatiempos para lectores".

Book Description
Desde hace tiempo, tenía deseos de escribir algo interesante y narrar mis sueños, vivencias y experiencias. El haber logrado lo anterior, no ha sido fácil por ello admiro a los literatos. Dicen que el trabajo es empezar, aunque vayas escribiendo para algunas personas puras pendejadas, pero no se atreven. Lo que hago es con alegría y entusiasmo para compartirlo con los amantes de la lectura. Es diferente y original, para dejarle al lector buen sabor de boca y si deja mensaje tanto mejor. A través de estas páginas, toco temas históricos y costumbres de mi amado México. Encontraran anécdotas, parte de mi lírica, albures, cuentos y canciones; destacando los episodios de mi loca y fantasiosa mente. Tratare de llevar una escritura acorde a los temas y si caigo en lo vulgar, son cosas del vulgo, pero sin ganas de ofender. Usare un lenguaje culto y pícaro, cuando las circunstancias así lo requieran. Si lo hiciera diferente se perdería lo jocoso y no es la idea... ¡Aunque la patria no me lo demande!, pobre patria como la chingamos. Pero sigue erecta y bella. A continuación quiero dedicar un poema, a todo el que tenga el valor de comprar el libro y a los que no... ¡También!, pues aunque son gorrones, tienen derecho a conocer novedades literarias, que de algo han de servir. "Pobre patria mía, como la han chingado"

Book Description
El Gato Negro Es una recopilación de historias tejidas entre sí, grandes secretos se cobijan entre sus páginas, es una mezcla de sueños con un toque de humor negro y erotismo. "La gente común no existe" se dice sencillamente y, sin embargo, la diversidad de sus personajes, lo viajarán a través de sensaciones que anteponen lo cósmico a la ilusión de un amor que jamás llegará, a la marginación, al rapto y a los tantos misterios que están por surgir de entre las aguas de una inundación que nadie esperaba. ¡Siga los pasos de El Gato Negro y sedúzcase en su mirada!

Book Description
"This synthesis of history, anthropology, and linguistics gives a view of the first two hundred years of the Spanish colonization of the Yucatec Maya. Drawing on a range of sources, it documents the crucial role played by language in cultural conquest: how colonial Mayan emerged in the age of the cross, how it was taken up by native writers to become the language of indigenous literature, and how it ultimately became the language of rebellion against the system that produced it. The book includes analyses of the linguistic practices of both missionaries and Mayas--as found in bilingual dictionaries, grammars, catechisms, land documents, native chronicles, petitions, and the forbidden Maya Books of Chilam Balam. It presents an approach to the study of religious and cultural conversion that aims to illuminate the history of Latin America and beyond."--

Book Description
“In this latest compilation of poetry from Saenz, fifty poems about love, hope, peace, nature and meditation are collected for the reader’s enjoyment. Each of these poems is printed in a side-byside nature, with the original English on the left and a Spanish version translated by both the author and his brother (who holds a doctorate in foreign language education) to ensure that the meaning and detail intended is not lost in translation. The overall themes of this collection are tranquil and reflective, even with titles like “Vagabonds” and “Human Struggles.” Finding beauty in every moment and circumstance, Saenz captures these moments of peace and frames them in contemplative thought to share with the reader.” — US Review of Books “As a whole, this poetic collection comprises a vast variety of inner reflections, both lucid in expression and stimulating in depiction. Stocked with one hundred poems, what is especially engaging about this work is that it is presented in a bilingual format, which smartly allows it to reach and entertain a far vaster readership. Each poetic composition appears firstly as the English version and then the Spanish version follows consecutively, however, no matter which language the poems appear in, they still resonate artfully with a soulful authenticity.” — Pacific Book Review Edge of a Fantasy and Other Poems is a book of approximately fifty poems written in English and Spanish side by side in a bilingual format.

Book Description
In an analysis based in a sophisticated use of critical theory, Fojas (Latin American and Latino studies, DePaul U., Chicago) engages a selection of modernist Latin American writers of the early 20th century as examples of cosmopolitanism, a notion here interpreted as a worldly modernity. The writings of Enrique Gomez Carrillo, Aurelia Castillo de Gonzalez (who wrote about the Chicago World's Fair), Jose Enrique Rodo, and the Venezuelan journal Cosmopolis are discussed in the context of other writers in Latin America, Europe, and the United States, and in terms of their expression of determinedly non-mainstream values, lifestyles, and ideas.

Book Description
In this volume, university researchers and urban elementary teacher-researchers coauthor chapters on the teachers' year-long inquiries, on a range of literacy topics that they conducted as part of a collaborative school-university action research project. Central to this project was the teacher-researchers' attempts to transform their teaching practices to meet the needs of students from diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, and their finding that their inquiry efforts resulted in developing more collaborative styles of teaching. Because the everyday interactions between teachers and students are realized by the social talk in the classroom, the university- and teacher-researchers analyzed classroom discourse to study and document the teachers' efforts to make changes in the locus of power in literacy teaching and learning. The chapters include many classroom discourse examples to illustrate the critical points or incidents of these teachers' inquiries. They show the successes and the struggles involved in shedding teacher-controlled patterns of talk. This book explores the process of urban teachers' journeys to create dialogically organized literacy instruction in particular literacy routines--called, in this book, curriculum genres. The book is organized in terms of these curriculum genres, such as writing curriculum genres, reading-aloud curriculum genres, drama curriculum genres, and so forth. Teacher inquiries were conducted in various elementary grade levels, from kindergarten through grade eight. Three occurred in bilingual classrooms and one in a special education classroom. The first and last chapters, written by the editors, provide the background, theoretical, and methodological underpinnings of the project.
