Telling Migrant Stories
In the media, migrants are often portrayed as criminals; they are frequently dehumanized, marginalized, and unable to share their experiences. Telling Migrant Stories explores how contemporary documentary film gives voice to Latin American immigrants whose stories would not otherwise be heard. The essays in the first part of the volume consider the documentary as a medium for Latin American immigrants to share their thoughts and experiences on migration, border crossings, displacement, and identity. Contributors analyze films including Harvest of Empire, Sin país, The Vigil, De nadie, Operation Peter Pan: Flying Back to Cuba, Abuelos, La Churona, and Which Way Home, as well as internet docu...
Toward a Multicultural Configuration of Spain
This collection of essays explores cultural phenomena that are shaping global identities in contemporary Spain. This volume is comprised of twenty essays that examine literary, documentary, and film representations of the multicultural configurations of Spain. All of the essays treat multiculturalism in Spain, focusing on reconfigured Spanish cities and neighborhoods through Latin American, African, and/or Eastern European migrations and cultures. Principal themes of the volume include urban space and access to resources, responses to the economic crisis, emerging family portraits, public versus private spaces, the local and the global, marginalities, migrations, and public expression of hum...
THESE PRECIOUS PEOPLE
The story you are about to read is not the complete story about my beloved parents and our family for I believe such an accomplishment is impossible. Most of the information was derived mostly from pure memory since no other means were available; i.e., notes, documents, recordings, or sufficient shared information. Also, it does not include each and every incident that I remember, and it is not intended to be a whole profile of their personalities and all their personal habits, which I deem unimportant for the purpose of my story, here and now.
Migrantes peregrinos
Los diez trabajos que componen el presente libro, escritos por autores procedentes de diferentes países, mundos académicos y universos disciplinarios, tienen en común el hecho de abordar el estudio de la identidad católica dentro de la diáspora ecuatoriana; o, lo que es lo mismo, el estudio de esta última vista y vivida a través de la pertenencia católica. Los migrantes peregrinos del título son aquellos ecuatorianos que, transitando entre países, mundos y vidas diferentes, utilizan su identidad católica como recurso cultural para trazar trayectorias de sentido: por medio de su pertenencia religiosa y de su vida espiritual, muchos de ellos consiguen forjar representaciones aptas p...

Jaime Marchán. Homo viator
La exhaustividad y la erudición de este ensayo van más allá de la habitual crítica literaria. Son varias las razones de su ejemplaridad. Así las resume su prologuista, Wilfrido H. Corral: “Quizá la primera es dedicarse a la literatura ecuatoriana, que en este momento tiene a varios prosistas de la generación de Marchán o las inmediatamente posteriores que se expresan, con vehemencia y no sin razón, acerca de la ‘invisibilidad’ de la expresión literaria nacional, dentro y sobre todo fuera del Ecuador. Esa condición, bien demuestra Hagen-Melo, también es un asunto de autopercepción defensiva, además de la bien examinada acogida de la literatura ‘menor’ o ‘pequeña’ ...
Coyame Es Mi Pueblo
Coyame is the wide-ranging account of a small town in Mexico. The author provides readers with a panoramic view of history from the Mayans to the Villa revolutionaries and beyond. The history of the region is brought into stark detail with the inclusion of the tales, legends, and family histories of Coyame’s colorful residents. Morales presents the information with great care and passion; both historians and casual readers will benefit from the candor and whimsy that mark this unique contribution.
Charlie Carrillo
The art of the santero, or saint maker, has been a vital part of Hispanic New Mexican culture for some 400 years. Charlie Carrillo is a key figure in the new generation of santeros. This lavishly illustrated survey of his work provides a lively introduction to a unique art form.
