Mainland Passage
One-third of the population of Puerto Rico moved to New York City during the mid-twentieth century. Since this massive migration, Puerto Rican literature and culture have grappled with an essential change in self-perception. Mainland Passage examines the history of that transformation, the political struggle over its representation, and the ways it has been imagined in Puerto Rico and in the work of Latina/o fiction writers. Ramón E. Soto-Crespo argues that the most significant consequence of this migration is the creation of a cultural and political borderland state. He intervenes in the Puerto Rico status debate to show that the two most discussed options--Puerto Rico's becoming either a ...
Optar por el Pueblo
En la esencia del Pueblo encontraremos la búsqueda constante de organización y en consecuencia la de alguien que sintetice su diversidad como método de empoderamiento de la lucha, para ir venciendo inequidades, carencias y todas las dificultades que sufren grandes bolsones de pobreza. Por supuesto, que a él debemos contraponerlas con la acechanza continua, adornada de una profusa verborragia por parte de los paladines de la defensa y profundización de las condiciones actuales de la desarmonía de la realidad, estos son el antipueblo, que para no parecerlo se disfrazan de progresistas, demócratas, socialistas, y liberales. Nada de eso son: en realidad son los verdaderos cipayos que expolian permanente y mezquinamente los recursos del Pueblo.

Language of the Land
The idea for this volume arose out of a need for a treatment of the interplay between language and ethnonationalism within both formal and nonformal educational settings. In no way intended to be exhaustive in scope, the contents give the reader a critical overview of issues related to language, cultural identity formation, and ethnonationalism. The chapters within this work deal with the effects of different language groups with differing amounts of power within society coming into contact with one another, and provide insight into how language is both utilized by and affected by processes such as colonialism, post-colonialism, acculturation, and ethnonationalism. Language is central to culture—indeed houses cultural understandings and allows generational transfer of key aspects of a group’s heritage.
Puntos de encuentro
Durante el curso académico 2012-2013 la Facultad de Traducción y Documentación de la Universidad de Salamanca ha cumplido sus primeros 20 años de vida. En el primer bloque se abordan las fuentes de información para usos especializados, área que constituye uno de los lazos indiscutibles entre nuestras disciplinas; su uso es una actividad cotidiana para los unos y su análisis una de las razones de ser para los otros. Ese interés compartido es germen de una colaboración constante, donde la selección y el empleo de la información genera caminos de ida y vuelta ineludibles. El segundo bloque se centra en un ámbito caracterizado por la vertiente social de estos campos de conocimiento, ...
Jóvenes Periodistas
Este libro presenta los resultados de una investigación cuya meta es comprender las trayectorias de jóvenes periodistas en un contexto signado por un profundo debate sobre la profesión. El intento es explicar cuáles han sido las prácticas y los conocimientos que han convertido en periodistas a los integrantes más jóvenes de ese mundo laboral. El punto de partida fue una pregunta: ¿cómo aprenden el oficio quienes ingresan a trabajar a las Redacciones? Basado en las experiencias de redactores y pasantes de dos diarios nacionales editados en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires: Página/12 y Tiempo Argentino, el trabajo analiza aprendizajes y problemáticas que los/as jóvenes atravesaron en el t...
Beyond the Eagle's Shadow
The dominant tradition in writing about U.S.–Latin American relations during the Cold War views the United States as all-powerful. That perspective, represented in the metaphor “talons of the eagle,” continues to influence much scholarly work down to the present day. The goal of this collection of essays is not to write the United States out of the picture but to explore the ways Latin American governments, groups, companies, organizations, and individuals promoted their own interests and perspectives. The book also challenges the tendency among scholars to see the Cold War as a simple clash of “left” and “right.” In various ways, several essays disassemble those categories and explore the complexities of the Cold War as it was experienced beneath the level of great-power relations.
Puerto Rico under Colonial Rule
Puerto Rico, one of the last and most populated colonial territories in the world, occupies a relatively unique position. Its lengthy interaction with the United States has resulted in the long-term acquisition of expanded legal rights and relative political stability. At the same time, that interaction has simultaneously seen political intolerance and the denial of basic rights, particularly toward those who have challenged colonialism. In Puerto Rico under Colonial Rule, academics and intellectuals from the fields of political science, history, sociology, and law examine three themes: evidence of state-sponsored political persecution in the twentieth century, contemporary issues, and the case of Vieques.
