Raza sí!, guerra no!

Resumen del Libro

Libro Raza sí!, guerra no!

"A fascinating and beautifully argued interpretation of how the American war in Southeast Asia affected Chicano communities. The author provides the most complete and well-documented study to date of this important chapter in U.S. history and its impact on an ethnic group with long-standing traditions of military service, assimilation, and resistance to injustice. Oropeza's book is what students of the Chicano Movement, especially the Mexican American role in antiwar activities during the Vietnam War period, have been waiting for."—George Mariscal, author of Aztlán and Viet Nam: Chicano and Chicana Experiences of the War "¡Raza Sí! ¡Guerra No! is a superb first book. Maintaining a balance between national context and the activism in the every day, Lorena Oropeza seeks to understand and contextualize antiwar activism among a generation of Mexican American youth. Bolstered with an array of archival sources and oral interviews, she carefully delineates the nature of political organizing among Mexican Americans across the Southwest. To her credit, Oropeza avoids a narrative of solidarity as she interrogates the internal messiness and contradictions of movement politics and the result is a finely nuanced interpretation of Chicano youth rebellion, one rooted firmly in ‘the politics of confrontation.’ I highly recommend it!"—Vicki L. Ruiz, University of California, Irvine "With this important study, Lorena Oropeza grapples with some of the central questions in the history of ethnic Mexicans in the United States. Although the central thrust of the work is an exploration of the evolution, political trajectory, and eventual implosion of the Chicano mobilization against war in Viet Nam, the study is ultimately a meditation on much larger questions involving Mexican American's political and cultural orientations, loyalties, and sense of status and place in American society. In these unsettled times, Oropeza's analysis of the relationship between war, citizenship, and masculinity should also contribute a much-needed reassessment of these important issues in contemporary American and Mexican life."—David G. Gutiérrez, author of Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the Politics of Ethnicity

A vueltas con el exilio.

Libro A vueltas con el exilio.

Según Ramón Gaya, pintor y poeta refugiado en México, la situación del exiliado "no está mal..., es como una habitación con los balcones abiertos". Si tal parecer resulta duro de aceptar, no pocos poetas llegados al exilio al borde de su madurez la alcanzaron de lleno gracias a él, aunque fuese de forma dolorosa, prueba de que la paradoja es certera. Es el caso de Domenchina, Prados y Cernuda, a los que este libro dedica la mayoría de sus páginas. Las restantes se ocupan de Max Aub en cuanto poeta, Altolaguirre editor de los clásicos, y una rara avis, Gerardo Deniz, quien, después...

La maldición de los césares

Libro La maldición de los césares

Equal parts compelling history and taut murder mystery, this perceptive investigation examines the death of Germanicus Julius Caesar—grandson of Marc Antony, adopted son of the emperor Tiberius, father of Caligula, and grandfather of Nero—particularly through the lens of how the events leading up to his death and the aftermath of his murder may have led to the empire’s collapse four centuries later. Tanto una historia apasionante así como un misterio tenso, esta perspicaz investigación examina la muerte de Julio César Germánico—nieto de Marco Antonio, hijo adoptivo del emperador...
