"Seleccion de poemas y textos literarios de quien fue considerado como el mejor poeta salvadoreno. El libro recoge la opinion de personas tan destacadas como Eduardo Galeano, Mario Benedetti, Jesus Diaz, Ernesto Cardenal y otros. Seleccion de J.C. Berrio."
“This book began in what seemed like a counterfactual intuition . . . that what had been happening in Nicaraguan poetry was essential to the victory of the Nicaraguan Revolution,” write John Beverley and Marc Zimmerman. “In our own postmodern North American culture, we are long past thinking of literature as mattering much at all in the ‘real’ world, so how could this be?” This study sets out to answer that question by showing how literature has been an agent of the revolutionary process in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala. The book begins by discussing theory about the relationship between literature, ideology, and politics, and charts the development of a regional system of political poetry beginning in the late nineteenth century and culminating in late twentieth-century writers. In this context, Ernesto Cardenal of Nicaragua, Roque Dalton of El Salvador, and Otto René Castillo of Guatemala are among the poets who receive detailed attention.
Winner of the 1991 Chicago Women in Publishing Award In a restaurant in Estelí, Nicaragua, Dianne Walta Hart, a visiting American scholar, and Marta Lopez, member of a Nicaraguan women's organization, began to talk of the Sandinista revolution and of the changes it had brought, especially for women. Their conversation was to continue at intervals over the next four years; it expanded to include Marta's mother, Doña María, her sister, Leticia, and her brother, Omar, a Sandinista soldier. From these conversations has come the powerful and moving oral history of a Nicaraguan family in the twentieth century: a testimonial by ordinary people caught up in civil strife and living in a country devastated by war and inflation. Laying bare the inner workings of the Lopez family, Dianne Walta Hart evokes a picture of a close-knit and loving family. Tracing their story from the years of repression and guerrilla activity under Somoza through an era of personal and political revolution in the 1970s and 1980s, she shows people persevering against every kind of adversity.
“A must-read for anyone interested in Nicaragua—or in the overall issue of social change.”—Margaret Randall, author of SANDINO'S DAUGHTERS and SANDINO'S DAUGHTERS REVISITED Sandinista is the first English-language biography of Carlos Fonseca Amador, the legendary leader of the Sandinista National Liberation Front of Nicaragua (the FSLN) and the most important and influential figure of the post–1959 revolutionary generation in Latin America. Fonseca, killed in battle in 1976, was the undisputed intellectual and strategic leader of the FSLN. In a groundbreaking and fast-paced narrative that draws on a rich archive of previously unpublished Fonseca writings, Matilde Zimmermann sheds n...
La obra de Roque Dalton desperto el interes del Dr. James Iffland al grado de consagrar a su estudio e investigacion mas de veinticinco anos. En este Opus magnum nos descubre su vigorosa poetica, una de las mejores de todos los tiempos, su cultivo del testimonio, (Miguel Marmol, los sucesos de 1932), su novela, (Pobrecito poeta que era yo…), sus ensayos literarios y politicos (Cesar Vallejo y Revolucion en la revolucion? y la critica de derecha) y analiza incisivamente su obra teatral y su teorizacion revolucionaria. Estas facetas del hombre de letras y pensador Roque Dalton son estudiadas minuciosamente, con la acuciosidad de un detective o la precision de un joyero de relojeria, por el ojo critico de un especialista de los grandes de la literatura universal como son Quevedo y Cervantes, y en este caso, Roque Dalton. Es un agrado para la Editorial A Contracorriente poder reimprimir esta magnifica obra sobre el gran poeta Roque Dalton. A la Editorial Universitaria Universidad de El Salvador le agradecemos el permiso para reimprimirlo.
