Book Description
As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and Huichol. Volume Two contains poetry by Mexican indigenous writers. Their poems appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Montemayor and Frischmann have abundantly annotated the Spanish, English, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that discuss the formal and linguistic qualities of the poems, as well as their place within contemporary poetry. These supporting materials make the anthology especially accessible and interesting for nonspecialist readers seeking a greater understanding of Mexico's indigenous peoples.

Book Description
On a beautiful day in Miami Beach, a mother and daughter began to talk about their written works and their desire to publish something together . . . This is how the first thoughts of Two Feathers and One Book came to be. This is a very unique book where two languages meet and two genres intertwine. The short stories are provocatively written in Spanish while the poems carry a message of life’s experiences, illusions, and disillusions. Each short story carries the breath and depth of life’s unexpected moments, written with the utmost quality of any authentic and passionate writer. From a magnificent dance with Baryshnikov, to the tragic death of someone too young, every story will leave the reader with a taste of wanting more. Each poem rhythmically and musically tells of a quiet ride to heaven, a romantic walk in the woods, a battle with cancer, and much more to feed the readers’ mind and soul.

Book Description
Esta novela, ambientada en la turbulenta Cuba desde la post-independencia, la Revolución de Machado, la Constitución del 40, el golpe de estado de Batista, y finalmente el inicio de la Revolución Cubana, narra la vida de Josefina, madre de la autora, y cómo su relación con otras mujeres la lleva a desafiar la sociedad patriarcal. Lola, madre de Josefina y adolescente viuda de un oficial español, subsiste gracias al amor prohibido con su confesor. Minerva, la otra hija de Lola, es forzada por su marido a renunciar a la herencia que le dejó el cura. Gema, la mejor amiga de Josefina, es la heredera del rey del Habano, y la introduce en el glamoroso mundo de la burguesía habanera de los años veinte, mientras que Marcelina, la nana, inicia a su hija, Sonia Julia de Jesús, en el mundo de los orishas afrocubanos. Estrella es una campesina a quien Josefina convierte en empresaria; y Beatriz y Emelina, ilustran, ante la mirada crítica de la protagonista, el binomio republicano de la esposa y la amante. Josefina se propone un destino diferente para sí misma, no supeditarse nunca a la autoridad masculina. Para lograrlo, se apoya en un diálogo permanente con el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, que comienza siempre con la misma pregunta: «Dime alma mía, ¿qué mal te aqueja?»
