Este libro es un tributo a los artistas que nos visitaron, al aporte que hicieron a la cultura, y, obviamente, a la recreación que brindaron durante casi siglo y medio; y un reconocimiento a las inclemencias que debieron afrontar para desplazarse a estas tierras, por caminos intransitables, con enfermedades tropicales, y aun la muerte de sus compañeros. Es una investigación profunda y seria, resultado de años de búsqueda de anécdotas, recuerdos y de análisis de periódicos, libros, revistas y entrevistas. Igualmente, de comentarios y críticas a las experiencias observadas y vividas, las cuales, espero, motivarán al lector a involucrarse en los momentos que hicieron historia y cultur...
Lauri Taylor was just your average suburban PTA mom and marketing exec. Then tragedy struck. When her mother is found dead in Mexico, Lauri finds herself embarking on a journey to uncover the identity of her mother’s murderer—but what she finds isn’t what she was expecting. With the help of famed FBI profiler Candice DeLong, Lauri works to unearth the secrets buried in her mother’s death. Key evidence comes to light—and a shocking revelation unfolds. Lauri Taylor’s memoir The Accidental Truth: What My Mother’s Murder Investigation Taught Me About Life is a profound narrative of true crime, family bonds, and the grief of sudden death. Achingly intimate, The Accidental Truth chronicles Lauri’s personal journey as she empowers herself with truth, finds the courage and compassion to forgive herself and her mother, and eventually learns to let go.
A través de esta selección, cercana a los cien textos, se puede realizar una aproximación a las transformaciones de las prácticas musicales, las representaciones e imaginarios y la música académica en Medellín entre 1937 y 1961. En ellos se manifiesta la idea de progreso y civilización que marcó una época importante en los imaginarios de ciudad y cultura desde finales del siglo XIX hasta mediados del siglo xx, la noción de deleite estético, con clara influencia del romanticismo, y las teorías del siglo XIX, reflexiones sobre el gusto, la cultura popular, los espacios para la sociabilización, la música nacional, las políticas culturales y la educación musical especializada, entre otros. Tanto Zulategi como Vega Bustamante fueron prolíficos en la cantidad de textos publicados, así como en las temáticas abordadas. Será otra labor la publicación total de ellos, lo cual implica por lo menos una veintena de volúmenes.

The West was a place where dreams could come true, and in this epic novel Alejandro Morales introduces two very different families and an unpredictable river to explore the allure of Southern California and the development of Los Angeles. Although the Rivers and Kellers families come from different backgrounds—ethnic, class and linguistic—their lives and fortunes become inextricably linked through their children. An illicit love affair leads to tragedy as the families are victims of racism and the pseudo-scientific philosophy of eugenics, or selective breeding, proposed by those fearful of Los Angeles’ diverse population in the 1920s. River of Angels is a richly detailed look at the people who lived on both sides of the river that separated the haves from the have-nots, from the mystical and forgotten Native Americans and their mixed-blood Latino descendants to the opportunity-seeking Yankees and the African, Mexican and Asian migrants. Acclaimed novelist Alejandro Morales excavates the layered history of Los Angeles in this stirring epic of love, loss and redemption.

Southwest Book Award, Border Regional Library Association, 2008 Association of Latina and Latino Anthropologists Book Award, 2009 Established in 1659 as Misión de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de los Mansos del Paso del Norte, Ciudad Juárez is the oldest colonial settlement on the U.S.-Mexico border-and one of the largest industrialized border cities in the world. Since the days of its founding, Juárez has been marked by different forms of conquest and the quest for wealth as an elaborate matrix of gender, class, and ethnic hierarchies struggled for dominance. Juxtaposing the early Spanish invasions of the region with the arrival of late-twentieth-century industrial "conquistadors," Fragme...
