Los pasos del exilio
Una familia colombiana se exilia en Madrid, ciudad hasta entonces completamente desconocida para ellos, allá en los difíciles comienzos de los años ́90. Con la madre como narradora y sostén de un hogar que debe inventarse prácticamente de cero, la novela recorre esperanzas y golpes que atraviesa este grupo familiar. Deberán afrontar traiciones, xenofobia y algunas otras desgracias, imputables en parte a una quijada de mastodonte maldita que llevan a cuestas. Noticias que llegan desde la propia tierra, como la muerte de Pablo Escobar, van a alterar el curso cotidiano de su travesía de inmigrantes. María Teresa Ramírez Uribe (Medellín, 1948) es una escritora colombiana. Tataranieta del el escritor antioqueño Juan José Botero, autor de la novela "Lejos del nido", ella asistió al Taller de Escritores de la Biblioteca Pública Piloto e hizo un diplomado en literatura. Publicó las novelas "La firma de Jota" (2006), "Salm@" (2020) y "Los pasos del exilio" (2021). También escribió la biografía de Francisco Maturana, "Hombre Pacho". Sus cuentos y artículos han aparecido en varios medios periodísticos y académicos.
Mayaya Rising
Who are the Black heroines of Latin America and the Caribbean? Where do we turn for models of transcendence among women of African ancestry in the region? In answer to the historical dearth of such exemplars, Mayaya Rising explores and celebrates the work of writers who intentionally center powerful female cultural archetypes. In this inventive analysis, Duke proposes three case studies and a corresponding womanist methodology through which to study and rediscover these figures. The musical Cuban-Dominican sisters and former slaves Teodora and Micaela Ginés inspired Aida Cartagena Portalatin’s epic poem Yania tierra; the Nicaraguan matriarch of the May Pole, “Miss Lizzie,” figures prominently in four anthologies from the country’s Bluefields region; and the iconic palenqueras of Cartagena, Colombia are magnified in the work of poets María Teresa Ramírez Neiva and Mirian Díaz Pérez. In elevating these figures and foregrounding these works, Duke restores and repairs the scholarly record.
Globalization and the Rise of Mass Education
This edited collection explores the historical determinants of the rise of mass schooling and human capital accumulation based on a global, long-run perspective, focusing on a variety of countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the Americas. The authors analyze the increasing importance attached to globalization as a factor in how social, institutional and economic change shapes national and regional educational trends. Although recent research in economic history has increasingly devoted more attention to global forces in shaping the institutions and fortunes of different world regions, the link and contrast between national education policies and the forces of globalization r...
Let Spirit Speak!
In this unique and groundbreaking collection, writers, critics, historians, and poets celebrate the cultural contributions of members of the African diaspora in the Western Hemisphere. Beginning with the cries and prayers of Gina Athena Ulysse to the Haitian loa Erzulie in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, each writer in the collection engages in the recovering of the past, highlighting that which has been buried in the history of time. The contributors look at a wide range of artistic productions, from poetry and fiction, to art, music, and film, and martial arts produced in Cuba, Columbia, Brazil, Haiti, and the United States. Haitian Creole, Spanish, and English are brought together, giving the reader a vivid sense of the multiplicity of voices in the African diaspora. Rather than concentrate on the dispersion of peoples of African descent, this collection focuses instead on the multiple sites of origins in the Americas, as diasporic legacies are found throughout the continent.
