Nonfiction. Reference. Latino/Latina Studies. "Polkinhorn and Velasco have busted the borders of linguistic analysis and Chicano talk assumptions. I hear the voices of my uncle Beto from El Paso in the 30s, the new multi-vocalities of the ‘¡Orale!’ generations of Latin America and the ever swashbuckling cross-cultural speakers and singers of the world. This is the unchained rap of the people! Tune into its poetic-love, community-renaissance and heart-rhythm dance. A twenty-first century ring-tone. ¡De aquellas! Right on!"—Juan Felipe Herrera.

Book Description
All the Mexican slang you'll ever need!! I have been teaching Mexican Spanish online for more than 3 years, and while talking to my students, I've noticed how interested they were in learning "mexislang." They asked me about it all the time, and it started to fascinate me as well. I realized how slang didn't follow any rules and was constantly changing, day by day. I created a blog - mexislang.com - where I started posting entries for my students, to better explain them how slang words were used and why. These blog posts have evolved into this book. Here, I gather the most important phrases and words of mexislang and explain their history and usage, including examples. You will find this manual useful if... You want to learn Spanish from Mexico; You are going to travel to Mexico; You want to understand Mexican culture better; You like learning new languages; You want to communicate better with Mexican people; You want to learn the most recent Mexican slang (and internet slang), from 2018; You want to learn slang from a real Mexican tutor who has taught Spanish to people from all around the world. Mexico is the 8th most visited country in the world, and #1 in Latin America, so this is a book that can be used by adventurers, businessmen, spring breakers, and any average joe who wants to make bonds, communicate, and establish good relationships with Mexican people. Start talking like a Mexican, Get Mexislang now!!

ÁSanto!
Author: Edwin David Aponte
Publisher: Orbis Books
ISBN: 1570759642
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
An overview of Latino/a spiritualities today--Protestant, Catholic, Pentecostal, and non-Christian and the challenges they bring to Christian theology and ministry. Given the context of increasing religious pluralism and a burgeoning interest in religions, religiosity, and spirituality within the United States and the knowledge that by the mid-twenty-first century an estimated 100 million Americans will claim Latin origin, an understanding of the varieties of Latino/a spirituality becomes essential. This book focuses on the ways in which Latinos and Latinas participate in the pursuit and practice of the spiritual or "holy" santo as part of their lived religion. In seven chapters, Aponte explores various understandings of santo and its participation in daily life, rites of passage, and worship.
