Seams of Empire
“A truly excellent contribution that unearths new and largely unknown evidence about relationships between Puerto Ricans and African-Americans and white Americans in the continental United States and Puerto Rico. Alamo-Pastrana revises how race is to be studied and understood across national, cultural, colonial, and hierarchical cultural relations.”—Zaire Zenit Dinzey-Flores, author of Locked In, Locked Out: Gated Communities in a Puerto Rican City Puerto Rico’s colonial relationship with the United States and its history of intermixture of native, African, and Spanish inhabitants has prompted inconsistent narratives about race and power in the colonial territory. Departing from thes...
AFL-CIO's Secret War Against Developing Country Workers
This book examines the themes of imperialism and empire from the perspective of the foreign policy program of organized labor in the United States. It details efforts to make real popular democracy within Labor. The author calls for American workers to join the global movement for economic and social justice and to extend globalization from 'below' against the values and activities of the top-down and destructive military-corporate globalization that has been sweeping the world for years.
Adaptations of Mental and Cognitive Disability in Popular Media
Examining representations of mental difference, this collection focuses on the ways that adaptations (including remakes, reboots, and other examples of remixed narratives) can shape and shift the social contexts and narratives we use to define mental disability. The movement of narratives across media via adaptation, or within media but across time and space in the case of remakes and reboots, is a common tactic for revitalization, allowing storytellers to breathe new life into tired narratives, remedying past inaccuracies and making them accessible and relevant for contemporary audiences. Thus, this collection argues that adaptation provides a useful tool for examining the constraints or op...
The Brush-Off
Make an appointment for intrigue at Reyn Marten Sawyer's hair salon! Outrageous, flirtatious, and as colorful as a magenta mohawk, Reyn tracks twisted crimes, untangles tight knots, and never, ever leaves loose ends. Someone clearly meant business when they targeted San Antonio's hair salon king, Ricardo, who was fatally stabbed with a one-of-a-kind weapon: a sharp plastic hair pick. Reyn had loaned Ricardo the tool -- and now she's not only mourning her friend and mentor's murder: she's also a suspect. And in the eyes of sexy detective Jackson Scythe, she's one alluring stylist who should drop her insistent sleuthing like a hot roller. But Reyn's wound a little too tight to stay out of the thick of things, including teasing and taming the stubbornly single Scythe while taking short cuts to catch a killer -- and uncovering the past of a dead man, whose secrets will make Reyn's hair curl....

Los Poetas del Guadiana en los medios de comunicación
Hace cinco años el grupo informal “Poetas del Guadiana” daba sus primeros pasos de un lado y otro del “Gran Rio del Sur”. Los medios de comunicación social de este territorio veían iniciarse una nueva noticia en el area de la cultura y no sabían que los tímidos primeros pasos, serian seguidos de proyectos sólidos y cada vez mas llenos de formación cultural y una apelación constante a la literatura. Las primeras noticias estuvieron vinculadas a los periódicos y emisoras de radio que recibían los comunicados de prensa del grupo. Pero fue desde siempre una gran proximidad de sus miembros, junto con los periodistas que estaban en el terreno y que dieron la bienvenida con simpat...
5.50 Años/autores
La poesía, ya saben ustedes a qué me refiero, es esa música de diapasones interiores que suena en el alma. Para nosotros, los Poetas del Guadiana, la poesía tiene un altar en nuestro corazón y por tanto su día es todos los días. Sabiendo eso, el autor de este prólogo lo ha escrito, perdonen ustedes el atrevimiento y la osadía, para defender a la poesía y al poeta que todos llevamos dentro. (Prólogo de Manuel Aníbal Álvarez González) Habitando o espaço físico banhado pelo Guadiana e vivendo o quotidiano social transfronteiriço, um conjunto de pessoas comuns entendeu fazer da palavra e do texto poético quer um modo pessoal de comunicar, quer uma forma de participação coleti...
