Dissonances of Modernity
Author: Irene Gómez-Castellano
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469651939
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Dissonances of Modernity illuminates the ways in which music, as an artifact, a practice, and a discourse redefines established political, social, gender, and cultural conventions in Modern Spain. Using the notion of dissonance as a point of departure, the volume builds on the insightful approaches to the study of music and society offered by previous analyses in regards to the central position they give to identity as a socially and historically constructed concept, and continues their investigation on the interdependence of music and society in the Iberian Peninsula. While other serious studies of the intersections of music and literature in Spain have focused on contemporary usage, Dissonances of Modernity looks back across the centuries, seeking the role of music in the very formation of identity in the peninsula. The volume's historical horizon reaches from the nineteenth-century War of Africa to the Catalan working class revolutions and Enric Granados' central role in Catalan identity; from Francisco Barbieri's Madrid to the Wagnerian's influence in Benito Perez Galdos' prose; and from the predicaments surrounding national anthems to the use of the figure of Carmen in Francoist' cinema. This volume is a timely scholarly addition that contemplates not only a broad corpus that innovatively comprises popular and high culture--zarzuelas, choruses of industrial workers, opera, national anthems--but also their inter-dependence in the artists' creativity.

A Private Family Matter
Author: Victor Rivas Rivers
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416534687
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
"This is a story about how I was saved by love at a time when most people considered me beyond rescue," begins Victor Rivas Rivers in this powerful chronicle of how he escaped the war zone of domestic violence -- too often regarded as a "private family matter" -- and went on to become a good man, a film star, and a prominent activist. The Cuban-born author begins by recalling when he was kidnapped, along with three of his siblings, by his own father, who abandoned Victor's pregnant mother and took the children on a cross-country hell-ride that nearly ended in a fatal collision. This journey of survival portrays with riveting detail how, instead of becoming a madman like his father, Victor was saved by a band of mortal angels. Miraculously, seven families stepped forward, along with teachers and coaches, to empower him on his road from gang member to class president, through harrowing and hilarious football adventures at Florida State and with the Miami Dolphins, to overcoming the Hollywood odds and becoming a champion for all those impacted by domestic violence. Though at times Victor's odyssey is heartbreaking and disturbing, A Private Family Matter is ultimately a triumphant testament to humanity, courage, and love. Profound and poignant, it is a compelling memoir with a cause. Victor Rivers's way of thanking all the angels and advocates who made a difference in his life is by trying to make a difference in all of ours.

Rebel Musics, Volume 2
Author: Fischlin Daniel Fischlin
Publisher: Black Rose Books Ltd.
ISBN: 155164701X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
When it was first published in 2003, Rebel Musics sought to explore how musical activism resonates as resistance to the dominant culture, and how political action through music increases the potential for people to determine their own fate. If anything, these issues seem to be even more pressing today. Rebel Musics offers a fascinating journey into a rich, complex world where music and politics unite, and where rebel musicians are mobilizing for political change, resistance, and social justice. Daniel Fischlin and Ajay Heble cover a wide range of artists, genres, and topics, including Thomas Mapfumo, Bob Marley, William Parker, Frank Zappa, Edgard Varese, Ice-T, American blues, West African drumming, hip hop, gospel, rock'n'roll cabaret, Paul Robeson, and free jazz. This book shows how rebel music is at the heart of some of the most incisive critiques of global politics. With explosive lyrics and driving rhythms, rebel musicians are helping to mobilize movements for political change and social justice, at home and around the world. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Black Rose Books, this revised and expanded edition of Rebel Musics will include all the original essays, as well as a new contribution by the editors. Rounding out the new edition will be several new pieces from artists and scholars that will continue to spark debate about these vital topics in compelling ways.

Challenging the Black Atlantic
Author: John T. Maddox IV
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1684481880
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
The historical novels of Manuel Zapata Olivella and Ana Maria Gonçalves map black journeys from Africa to the Americas in a way that challenges the Black Atlantic paradigm that has become synonymous with cosmopolitan African diaspora studies. Unlike Paul Gilroy, who coined the term and based it on W.E.B. DuBois’s double consciousness, Zapata, in Changó el gran putas (1983), creates an empowering mythology that reframes black resistance in Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. In Um defeito de cor (2006), Gonçalves imagines the survival strategies of a legendary woman said to be the mother of black abolitionist poet Luís Gama and a conspirator in an African Muslim–led revolt in Brazil’s “Black Rome.” These novels show differing visions of revolution, black community, femininity, sexuality, and captivity. They skillfully reveal how events preceding the UNESCO Decade of Afro-Descent (2015–2024) alter our understanding of Afro-Latin America as it gains increased visibility. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

La Carroza Ha Llegado
Author: Donald R. Ware, MD
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499078331
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Después de muchos intentos de concepción, Callie finalmente pudo quedar embarazada. Pero al inicio del embarazo ella tuvo hemorragias. Había peligro de que perdiera al bebe y posiblemente su propia vida. Después de que varios doctores de grandes hospitales le recomendaron interrumpir el embarazo del niño que aun no conocían; ella y su esposo Henry decidieron continuar y encontraron ayuda y confort en el hospital del condado de Los Ángeles. Ellos sabían que si ese bebe no nacía, entonces no habría otro. La pareja había sido advertida por los doctores que naciera o no el bebe, ella debía hacerse una histerectomía permanente para poder detener la hemorragia que atentaba con su vida. Esto terminaría con toda esperanza de tener una maternidad natural para los Wares. El bebe Donald nació, pero desarrolló Polio a una edad muy temprana, aun así pude superar este desafío para convertirme en un bailarín profesional. Fui criado en un vecindario pobre pero cambie esa situación convirtiéndome en un doctor reconocido y agente de cambio. Fui desde mi pobre vecindario hasta New York, Washington, DC, y Cambridge MA; y luego regresar a casa para enfrentarme con la oposición de doctores en un hospital local y en uno de las corporaciones hospitalarias más grandes del mundo. Sobre la marcha, en plena lucha, el Espíritu Santo se me reveló en voz, visiones, señales físicas y maravillas en mi vida. Estos acontecimientos me dieron la victoria sobre la tiranía, para el beneficio de todos nosotros. Esta historia de viada es sobre la victoria sobre todas las adversidades. Dice que Dios vive, y se interesa por las vidas de todos, e intervendrá en nuestras vidas por el bien de todos nosotros.
