Book Description
First published in Paris in 1834, Journey to the United States of America / Viaje a los Estados Unidos del Norte América, by Lorenzo de Zavala, is an elegantly written travel narrative that maps de Zavala's journey through the United States during his exile from Mexico in 1830. Embracing U.S., Texas, and Mexican history; early ethnography; geography; and political philosophy, de Zavala outlines the cultural and political institutions of Jacksonian America and post-independence Mexico. de Zavala's commentary rivals Alex de Tocqueville's classic travel narrative, Democracy in America, which was published in Paris one year after de Zavala's. The narrative presents the first account of U.S. political culture from a Mexican point of view and constructs the first comparative political and historical framework for the relationship between Mexico and the United States. In passionate prose, de Zavala argues for the incorporation of the true democratic ideals of the enlightenment in the fledgling Republic of Texas. He hoped Texas would meld the best of both Mexican and American cultures. de Zavala believed that if his colleagues who helped frame the Texas Constitution understood the complexities of democracy and the ideals that their state could achieve through a liberal, federal government that gave equal rights to all of its constituents: Native Americans, Mexicans, Euro-Americans, and free African Americans. The original text is accompanied by eight pages of maps and historical photos, John-Michael Rivera's critical introduction, and an English translation based upon Wallace Woolsey's deft translation, expanded and revised for the purposes of this volume.

Book Description
The Catechism - basically, the "operating instructions" for being a Catholic - isn't just for Catechism class prior to First Communion and Confirmation. It's an amazing collection of Church teachings and rules that cover everything from the basics, like honoring God, to more unusual subjects such as paying just wages and respecting animals. An understanding of the Catechism is key to the daily life of Catholics, and an appreciation of what Catholics believe. In Spanish.

Book Description
This study offers the first book-length exploration of travel narratives by nineteenth-century Spanish authors. Focusing on texts produced during a crucial period in the development of Spain's modern consciousness at the close of its imperial age, Scripted Geographies shows how writers' strategies of travel representation reflected and participated in this process of cultural transformation. The first two chapters, devoted to travel within Europe, explore constructions of Spain's sometimes problematic encounter with Western society and traditions. The final chapters shift to orientalist travel, allowing reflection on how Spanish renderings of the non-Western other intersect with patterns found in the better-known corpus of orientalist literature produced in then-ascendant imperial powers like Britain and France. These textual constructions of cultural difference reflect at a profound level their authors' preoccupations and hopes for Spain, as well as their strong awareness of both the powers and dangers inherent in the process of representing real world experience via language. Professor of Spanish at the University of Vermont.

Book Description
"Te Presento a Jesucristo" contiene algunas de las vivencias que el Rev. Samuel MacAdam ha tenido con el Señor Jesús durante gran parte de su carrera ministerial. Han sido escritas como una evidencia de la realidad de la vida cristiana y como un testimonio para aquellos que no conocen a Jesucristo. Pero también para compartir con el creyente de hoy aquellas otras facetas propias de Jesús, que tal vez podrían ser desconocidas para algunos de ellos. Cada una de ellas tiene su propia connotación en la vida del autor, y es su testimonio acerca de la personalidad de JESUCRISTO no pretendiendo establecer un patrón de conducta evangélica como una forma personal.

Book Description
Como si un antiguo tren del Oeste americano nos invitara a avanzar por raíles de papel, dispongámonos a sumergirnos en las páginas de este libro para disfrutar de un apasionante viaje a través del cine. Podemos apearnos en cada estación del trayecto para pasear, sin prisa, por el interior de cada uno de los géneros cinematográficos. En la estación del Drama, exploraremos conflictos personales, sentimientos, emociones. En la siguiente parada, Cine Histórico, contemplaremos hechos relevantes de épocas pasadas. La próxima, Cine Cómico, nos hará reír a gusto con Charlot, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, el Gordo y el Flaco y los hermanos Marx... Las carcajadas se convertirán en sonrisas en la estación de La Comedia y así cobraremos fuerzas para lanzarnos con entusiasmo a visitar Cine de Aventuras. To d a v í a sin aliento, de tanta acción, nos dejaremos invadir por la intriga y el misterio en la estación El Thriller. El tren nos llevará luego a los grandes espacios épicos de Cine Bélico y nos conmoveremos con la grandeza humana que puede palpitar en el mayor de los horrores. Después de haber disfrutado de sustos y de situaciones que nos erizan los cabellos en la estación Cine de Terror, alcanzaremos las grandes praderas por las que cabalga John Wayne, el gran héroe americano. Tras el Western, la próxima parada. Cine Musical, nos permitirá disfrutar de elaboradas coreografías, con música, canción y baile. Y, como fin de trayecto, la estación Ciencia Ficción, nos lanzará una llamada de atención sobre asuntos clave del presente, proyectándolos a un futuro imaginario. Al concluir nuestro paseo por los géneros cinematográficos y haber hecho nuestras propias elecciones, comprenderemos que, mientras en los manuales se sigue elucubrando sobre qué son exactamente dichos géneros, en realidad somos nosotros, los espectadores, cuando elegimos ir a ver una del Oeste o de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, o una de terror, o una comedia romántica..., quienes, con nuestras preferencias, le damos sentido a cada uno de ellos. A fin de cuentas, los géneros cinematográficos existen y son lo que son porque el público, el imaginario colectivo, con sus gustos y preferencias, así lo ha decidido. ¡FELIZ VIAJE A TRAVÉS DEL CINE!

Book Description
How an overlooked film industry became a cinematic force The first book in English dedicated to the study of Central American film, this volume explores the main trends, genres, and themes that define this emerging industry. The seven nations of the region have seen an unprecedented growth in film production during the twenty-first century with the creation of over 200 feature-length films compared with just one in the 1990s. This volume provides a needed overview of one of the least explored cinemas in the world. In these essays, various scholars of film and cultural studies from around the world provide insights into the continuities and discontinuities between twentieth- and twenty-first-century cinematic production on the Isthmus. They discuss how political, social, and environmental factors, along with new production modes and aesthetics, have led to a corpus of films that delve into issues of the past and present such as postwar memory, failed revolutions, trauma, migration, popular culture, minority populations, and gender disparities. From Salvadoran documentaries to Costa Rican comedies and Panamanian sports films, the movies analyzed here demonstrate the region’s flourishing film industry and the diversity of approaches found within it. The Rise of Central American Film in the Twenty-First Century pays homage to an overlooked cultural phenomenon and shows the importance of regional cinema studies.
