Latinas in the United States, set
Author: Vicki L. Ruiz
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253111692
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 909
Book Description
Latinas in the United States: A Historical Encyclopedia records the contribution of women of Latin American birth or heritage to the economic and cultural development of the United States. The encyclopedia, edited by Vicki L. Ruiz and Virginia Sánchez-Korrol, is the first comprehensive gathering of scholarship on Latinas. This encyclopedia will serve as an essential reference for decades to come. In more than 580 entries, the historical and cultural narratives of Latinas come to life. From mestizo settlement, pioneer life, and diasporic communities, the encyclopedia details the contributions of women as settlers, comadres, and landowners, as organizers and nuns. More than 200 scholars explore the experiences of Latinas during and after EuroAmerican colonization and conquest; the early-19th-century migration of Puerto Ricans and Cubans; 20th-century issues of migration, cultural tradition, labor, gender roles, community organization, and politics; and much more. Individual biographical entries profile women who have left their mark on the historical and cultural landscape. With more than 300 photographs, Latinas in the United States offers a mosaic of historical experiences, detailing how Latinas have shaped their own lives, cultures, and communities through mutual assistance and collective action, while confronting the pressures of colonialism, racism, discrimination, sexism, and poverty. "Meant for scholars and general readers, this is a great resource on Latinas and historical topics connected with them." -- curledup.com

El mito de la diosa
Author: Anne Baring
Publisher: Siruela
ISBN: 9788478447329
Category : Religion
Languages : es
Pages : 864
Book Description
Éste es un libro único.;Cuenta, por primera vez, la historia completa de lo femenino a través de las distintas ideas religiosas donde ha ido evolucionando la imagen mítica de este principio: desde las diosas paleolíticas, o Istar en Mesopotamia, Isis en Egipto o las diosas del mundo clásico, hasta Israel, donde lo femenino se oculta, para finalizar con la vuelta de la diosa madre en las figuras de María en el cristianismo y de Sofía en los gnósticos. Este libro, y sus más de 400 ilustraciones, explica cómo el mito originario de la diosa se perdió y cómo la divinidad masculina fue desplazando su papel por la necesidad de situarlo en el nuevo contexto de la evolución de la conciencia humana. Ahora, cuando los modelos de lo masculino y lo femenino están más confusos, cuando hemos desacralizado la naturaleza y somos incapaces de contemplar la vida como una unidad viviente, quizá se haga necesario conocer a fondo cuál es la naturaleza de la antigua diosa madre, para comprender mejor las implicaciones psicológicas que ha supuesto su pérdida para el ser humano.

Diosas / Goddesses
Author: Eddie Ferraioli
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1035865629
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
In 2005, a mosaic artist embarked on a project to exalt the beauty and strength of women through twenty vibrant mosaics inspired by the lush landscapes of Puerto Rico. But during the three years of intensive work, a chilling realization emerged: the rising tide of violence against women. By September 2007, as the mosaics neared completion, the number of women tragically killed by their partners in Puerto Rico almost equaled the number of artworks. The artist’s exhibition, ‘Virgins,’ became a haunting tribute to the twenty women whose lives were lost that year, their names etched into the pages of this book. This powerful collection serves as a powerful homage to all victims of gender violence past, present, and future, and a desperate plea to end this devastating epidemic. Each mosaic is a testament to the lives stolen, their beauty and spirit forever immortalized in vibrant tile.

Soldaderas in the Mexican Military
Author: Elizabeth Salas
Publisher: Univ of TX + ORM
ISBN: 0292757085
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
This study explores the evolving role of women soldiers in Mexico—as both fighters and cultural symbols—from the pre-Columbian era to the present. Since pre-Columbian times, soldiering has been a traditional life experience for innumerable women in Mexico. Yet the many names given these women warriors—heroines, camp followers, Amazons, coronelas, soldadas, soldaderas, and Adelitas—indicate their ambivalent position within Mexican society. In this original study, Elizabeth Salas challenges many traditional stereotypes, shedding new light on the significance of these women. Drawing on military archival data, anthropological studies, and oral history interviews, Salas first explores the real roles played by Mexican women in armed conflicts. She finds that most of the functions performed by women easily equate to those performed by revolutionaries and male soldiers in the quartermaster corps and regular ranks. She then turns her attention to the soldadera as a continuing symbol, examining the image of the soldadera in literature, corridos, art, music, and film. Salas finds that the fundamental realities of war link all Mexican women, regardless of time period, social class, or nom de guerre.

Youth, Identity, Power
Author: Carlos Muñoz
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1789603277
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Youth, Identity, Power is the classic study of the origins of the 1960s Chicano civil rights movement. Written by a leader of the Chicano student movement who also played a key role in the creation of the wider Chicano Movement, this is the first full-length work to appear on the subject. It fills an important gap in the history of political and social protest in the United States. Carlos Muoz places the Chicano Movement in the context of the political and intellectual development of people of Mexican descent in the USA, tracing the emergence of student activists and intellectuals in the 1930s and their initial challenge to the dominant white racial and class ideologies. He then documents the rise and fall of the Chicano Movement of the 1960s, situating it within the 1960s civil rights and radical movements and assessing the Chicano Movement's contribution to the development of the Mexican American population and the Latino population as a whole. In an afterword to this new edition, Muoz charts the burgeoning growth of US Latino communities, assesses the nativist backlash against them, and argues that Latinos must play a central role in a new movement for multiracial democracy.
