Ita
Novela finalista del Certamen BAM Letras, 2017 (Guatemala)De pronto, una palabra rara, nunca antes escuchada, define la vida de Ita, una exitosa abogada guatemalteca que atraviesa los supuestos años de madurez de los cuarenta. Esa palabra, fibromialgia, da nombre a la experiencia del dolor que Ita intentará describir y comprender. El dolor del cuerpo conducirá a la protagonista de la novela a recuperar el pasado de su familia, especialmente a descifrar el abandono de la madre, una conocida artista que, por razones oscuras, dejó la carrera en pleno conflicto armado guatemalteco.Recorrer el pasado implicará adentrarse en los archivos y los afectos de una infancia marcada por una sociedad jerárquica y violenta. La investigación de Ita sobre su propia madre la llevará a descubrir la impostura de la inocencia cuando se vive una guerra, pero también a transformar una amistad de la infancia en una historia de amor que reta las expectativas tradicionales del mismo.
Afrodita en el trópico
Perhaps the opening paragraph from Paul Larson¿s (Baylor University) prologue to the Epistola ad Mahomatem II summarizes what this new Scripta Humanistica volume has to offer to readers of literature and history alike: ¿This new scholarly edition certainly begs the question: how can a fifteenth century letter from the then Pope Pius II to the Muslim conqueror of Constantinople have any relevance for contemporary scholars and students in the early 21st century? Embroiled as we are in chaotic and tumultuous religious and political conflict in Europe and the Middle East, perhaps the answer is only too obvious: the same political and religious concerns that drove Piccolomini to pen his letter ...
Luna Park
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Art. Hand-sewn and bound in a recycled cardboard cover. Translated from the Spanish by Anthony Seidman."We hear Cardoza defend poetry not as an activity in service of the revolution, but as the expression of perpetual human subversion. Cardoza was the bridge between the vanguard and the poets of my age. A bridge extending not between two shores, but between two opposing forces." Octavio Paz "Luis Cardoza y Aragon knows that his own existence and his capacity to interpret exactly the reason for his current location justifies the celebration of this refulgent promenade through the future. He knows that he can bend poetry in his favor. He can be swift and expose t...
Breadwinners
Lara Vapnek tells the story of American labor feminism from the end of the Civil War through the winning of woman suffrage. During this period, working women in the nation's industrializing cities launched a series of campaigns to gain economic equality and political power. This book shows how working women pursued equality by claiming new identities as citizens and as breadwinners. Analyzing disjunctions between middle-class and working-class women's ideas of independence, Vapnek highlights the agendas for change advanced by leaders such as Jennie Collins, Leonora O'Reilly, and Helen Campbell and organizations such as the National Consumers' League, the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, and the Women's Trade Union League. Locating households as important sites of class conflict, Breadwinners recovers the class and gender politics behind the marginalization of domestic workers from labor reform while documenting the ways in which working-class women raised their voices on their own behalf.

The Postcolonial Contemporary
This volume invokes the “postcolonial contemporary” in order to recognize and reflect upon the emphatically postcolonial character of the contemporary conjuncture, as well as to inquire into whether postcolonial criticism can adequately grasp it. Neither simply for nor against postcolonialism, the volume seeks to cut across this false alternative, and to think with postcolonial theory about political contemporaneity. Many of the most influential frameworks of postcolonial theory were developed during the 1970s and 1990s, during what we may now recognize as the twilight of the postwar period. If forms of capitalist imperialism are entering into new configurations of neoliberal privatizati...
