Hey Gringo! Come Here!
This book is a tribute to our grandfather, Jose Nieto Houston, and great grandfather, Ramon Cordova. Both of whom fought so valiantly in the Mexican Revolution for a better Mexico. This biography of Jose A. Nieto Houston is for all who are interested in the story of one man thrust into a revolution to fight for the survival of his life. Jose A. Nieto Houston wrote his story for anyone who is interested. The history of the Mexican Revolution is enormous, with lots of material to fill lots of books. These stories can be talked about for quite some time or even written about, its history on various topics, themes, or subject matter. However, there are various opinions on the causes of the Mexican Revolution. Each history in its own version as adapted to each own way of thinking. Villa would affectionately say, “Hey, Gringo, come here, I have a job for you.” That’s how Gen. Francisco (Pancho) Villa addressed his trusted confidant and aide, Colonel Jose Nieto.
Madrid
The miraculous story of Madrid—how a village became a great world city For centuries Madrid was an insignificant settlement on the central Iberian plateau. Under its Muslim rulers the town was fortified and enlarged, but even after the Reconquista it remained secondary to nearby Toledo. But Madrid’s fortunes dramatically shifted in the sixteenth century, becoming the centre of a vast global empire. Luke Stegemann tells the surprising story of Madrid’s flourishing, and its outsize influence across the world. From Cervantes and Quevedo to Velázquez and Goya, Spain’s capital has been home to some of Europe’s most influential artists and thinkers. It formed a vital link between Europe and the Americas and became a cauldron of political dissent—not least during the Spanish Civil War, when the city was on the frontline in the fight against fascism. Stegemann places Madrid and its people in global context, showing how the city—fast overtaking Barcelona as a centre of international finance and cultural tourism—has become a melting pot at the heart of Europe and the wider Hispanic world.
Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace
It was a scene that had many names: some original members referred to themselves as punks, others, new romantics, new wavers, the bats or the morbids. 'Goth' did not gain lexical currency until the late 1980s. But no matter what term was used, 'postpunk' encompasses all the incarnations of the 1980s alternative movement. Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace is a visual and oral history of the first decade of the scene. Featuring interviews with both the performers and the audience to capture the community on and off stage, the book places personal snapshots alongside professional photography to reveal a unique range of fashions, bands and scenes. A book about the music, the individual and the creativity of a worldwide community rather than theoretical definitions of a subculture, Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace considers a subject not often covered by academic books. Whether you were part of the scene or are just fascinated by different modes of expression, this book will transport you to another time and place.
