Manojo de Recuerdos
Author: Mario Luis Lopez Isla
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780989412575
Category :
Languages : es
Pages : 165
Book Description
"La singularidad de Manojo de recuerdos. Memorias de un isleno en Cuba esta en el respeto, casi absoluto, de la forma de expresarse y de contar de este isleno que se aplatano en Cuba, pero que conserva parte del lexico propio de los canarios y muestra la influencia del habla popular, de sus frases, refranes, etc., en todo un proceso de transculturacion. Es un testimonio para la reflexion, que despierta la sonrisa y, a veces, un asomo de lagrimas, porque es una historia dura, dolorosa, de alguien que ha regado con su sudor el campo durante muchos anos, pero que tiene la capacidad de seducirnos con una sensibilidad enternecedora. Es un espejo donde pueden mirarse aquellos que vivieron esa epoca, pero es ademas un testimonio de la emigracion que viven cientos de hombres y Mujeres en muchas partes del mundo. (...) Un "Manojo de recuerdos," tiene el merito de ser un texto donde se cuenta desde la experiencia vital de un hombre despierto, vivaz en su pensamiento y palabra; tiene la virtud de no aburrirnos y de hacernos agradable la lectura."

The Sun of Jesús del Monte
Author: Andrés Avelino de Orihuela
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813946220
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Translated into English for the first time, Andrés Avelino de Orihuela’s El Sol de Jesús del Monte is a landmark Cuban antislavery novel. Published originally in 1852, the same year as Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin (which Orihuela had translated into Spanish), it provides an uncompromising critique of discourses of white superiority and an endorsement of equality for free people of color. Despite its historical and literary value, The Sun of Jesús del Monte is a long-neglected text, languishing for 150 years until its republication in 2008 in the original Spanish. The Sun of Jesús del Monte is the only Cuban novel of its time to focus on La Escalera, or the Ladder Rebellion, a major anticolonial and slave insurrection of nineteenth-century Cuba that shook the world’s wealthiest colony in 1843–44. It is also the only Cuban novel of its time to take direct aim at white privilege and unsparingly denounce the oppression of free people of color that intensified after the insurrection. This new critical edition—featuring an invaluable, contextualizing introduction and afterword in addition to the new English translation—offers readers the most detailed portrait of the everyday lives and plight of free people of color in Cuba in any novel up to the 1850s.

Uncle Tom's Cabins
Author: Tracy C Davis
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 0472037765
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
As Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin traveled around the world, it was molded by the imaginations and needs of international audiences. For over 150 years it has been coopted for a dazzling array of causes far from what its author envisioned. This book tells thirteen variants of Uncle Tom’s journey, explicating the novel’s significance for Canadian abolitionists and the Liberian political elite that constituted the runaway characters’ landing points; nineteenth-century French theatergoers; liberal Cuban, Romanian, and Spanish intellectuals and social reformers; Dutch colonizers and Filipino nationalists in Southeast Asia; Eastern European Cold War communists; Muslim readers and spectators in the Middle East; Brazilian television audiences; and twentieth-century German holidaymakers. Throughout these encounters, Stowe’s story of American slavery serves as a paradigm for understanding oppression, selectively and strategically refracting the African American slave onto other iconic victims and freedom fighters. The book brings together performance historians, literary critics, and media theorists to demonstrate how the myriad cultural and political effects of Stowe’s enduring story has transformed it into a global metanarrative with national, regional, and local specificity.

La canaria
Author: Marlene E. García Pérez
Publisher: Guantanamera
ISBN: 1524304603
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : es
Pages : 139
Book Description
El argumento de esta novela no es otro que la fatalidad de las mujeres de una misma familia. Tres generaciones ante la incapacidad de materializar su amor con los hombres de sus vidas, historias que se repiten, se entrelazan en un destino recurrente, irónico y fatal. Tres historias de amor o desamor, últimos años del siglo XIX, 1920 y 1999. Estas tres mujeres no serán derrotadas ni serán vencidas por la fatalidad, mucho menos el lector podrá compadecerse de ellas. Podremos desaprobar determinados actos, enfoques, pero nunca nos provocarán lástima. Los Alfonso (sus alter ego masculinos), al contrario, no se atreverán a luchar. La propia cobardía de pelear por ser felices los condenará. Es un pasado que se repite en la actualidad, donde muchas Marías de las Nieves o las Mercedes, pero esta vez cubanas, cruzan el océano.
