My second book is full of songs, poems, short stories, commentaries and humor. It too is written in Spanish, English and Spanglish. You will be surprized to know how many Whites, Blacks and Asians here in the U.S. speak Spanish! This book too includes idioms and sayings between the poems and short stories. I hope you enjoy it.

Winner of the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for Popular Music Books (2002) Winner of the Society for Ethnomusicology's (SEM) Alan P. Merriam Prize (2003) Salsa is a popular dance music developed by Puerto Ricans in New York City during the 1960s and 70s, based on Afro-Cuban forms. By the 1980s, the Colombian metropolis of Cali emerged on the global stage as an important center for salsa consumption and performance.

The Cambridge Companion to the American Graphic Novel explores the important role of the graphic novel in reflecting American society and in the shaping of the American imagination. Using key examples, this volume reviews the historical development of various subgenres within the graphic novel tradition and examines how graphic novelists have created multiple and different accounts of the American experience, including that of African American, Asian American, Jewish, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ communities. Reading the American graphic novel opens a debate on how major works have changed the idea of America from that once found in the quintessential action or superhero comics to show new, different, intimate accounts of historical change as well as social and individual, personal experience. It guides readers through the theoretical text-image scholarship to explain the meaning of the complex borderlines between graphic novels, comics, newspaper strips, caricature, literature, and art.
En 1966 Arturo Agramonte publicó una preciosa Cronología del cine cubano, editada por el ICAIC, y en 2008 María Eulalia Douglas completó aquel trabajo pionero con su Catálogo del cine cubano (1897-1960), divulgado por la Cinemateca de Cuba. Y ahora, con el título de Cronología del cine cubano aparece la investigación histórica de Arturo Agramonte y Luciano Castillo, una exhaustiva indagación que desborda la modestia de su título. Nos hallamos, en efecto, ante una monumental investigación hemerográfica y archivística, insólita en el panorama de la memoria de los cines nacionales.
