The Rebel
Author: Leonor Villegas de Magn—n
Publisher: Arte Publico Press
ISBN: 9781611920499
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
The Rebel is the memoir of a revolutionary woman, Leonor Villegas de Magnon (1876-1955), who was a fiery critic of dictator Porfirio Diaz and a conspirator and participant in the Mexican Revolution. Villegas de Magnon rebelled against the ideals of her aristocratic class and against the traditional role of women in her society. In 1910 Villegas moved from Mexico to Laredo, Texas, where she continued supporting the revolution as a member of the Junta Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Council) and as a fiery editorialist in Laredo newspapers. In 1913, she founded La Cruz Blanca (The White Cross) to serve as a corps of nurses for the revolutionary forces active from the border region to Mexico City. Many women like Villegas de Magnon from both sides of the border risked their lives and left their families to support the revolution. Years later, however, when their participation had still been unacknowledged and was running the risk of being forgotten, Villegas de Magnon decided to write her personal account of this history. The Rebel covers the period from 1876 through 1920, documenting the heroic actions of the women. Written in the third person with a romantic fervor, the narrative interweaves autobiography with the story of La Cruz Blanca. Until now Villegas de Magnon's written contributions have remained virtually unrecognized - peripheral to both Mexico and the United States, fragmented by a border. Not only does her work attest to the vitality, strength and involvement of women in sociopolitical concerns, but it also stands as one of the very few written documents that consciously challenges stereotyped misconceptions of Mexican Americans held by both Mexicans and Anglo-Americans.

Postmodern Picturebooks
Author: Lawrence R. Sipe
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135897840
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Over the past 15 years, there has been a pronounced trend toward a particular type of picturebook that many would label "postmodern." Postmodern picturebooks have stretched our conventional notion of what constitutes a picturebook, as well as what it means to be an engaged reader of these texts. The international researchers and scholars included in this compelling collection of work critically examine and discuss postmodern picturebooks, and reflect upon their unique contributions to both the field of children’s literature and to the development of new literacies for child, adolescent, and adult readers.

Educación literaria en las aulas: propuestas para actuar
Author: María Santamaría Sancho
Publisher: Ediciones Octaedro
ISBN: 8419690678
Category : Education
Languages : es
Pages : 180
Book Description
Este libro deriva de un proyecto de investigación, coordinado desde la Universidad de Granada, que durante tres años ha explorado el panorama actual de la presencia de la literatura en aulas de Educación Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria. Los datos muestran que las actividades tradicionales (resúmenes escritos, sobre todo) siguen teniendo más peso del que los tiempos demandan, y que la selección del corpus de lecturas está falta de criterios consensuados y de ser plasmada en itinerarios lectores que consideren aspectos como el equilibrio entre los distintos géneros discursivos, la graduación progresiva de la dificultad de los textos o el tratamiento de temas que ayuden a construir los valores de la convivencia democrática. Los resultados de investigación han dado lugar a reflexiones sobre las necesidades en la formación del profesorado a este respecto, así como a propuestas didácticas, de las cuales en esta obra se ofrecen algunas con la intención de que sirvan de referencia para ir incorporando un tratamiento de la literatura más acorde con lo que establece el más reciente concepto de educación literaria.
