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

Sangre limpia, sangre española

Libro Sangre limpia, sangre española

Entre los siglos XV y XVII, periodo de la historia de España entendido por el pensador económico Sancho de Moncada en 1619 como "República de Reinos muy diferentes en cualidades", un hecho que desarticula a su sociedad y que la tiene en un permanente debate es la limpieza de sangre. Todos eran cristianos y españoles, sin embargo, el origen de la sangre denotaba de forma pública que no todos eran españoles y cristianos idénticos. La sangre limpia, que pasará a considerarse sangre española, se convierte en un valor esencial, dominante y reputado. Para quien no formaba parte de esa...

Mención del Premio Casa de las Américas 2013 en la categoría ensayo histórico-social, este libro analiza en profundidad, a partir de fuentes de primera mano, un tema de interés general para todos: los dos primeros años de tensas relaciones entre el Gobierno Revolucionario, instaurado en Cuba tras el derrocamiento del dictador Batista en enero de 1959, y la poderosa nación vecina negada a reconocer el triunfo revolucionario, reiterando acciones varias veces repetidas desde que, en 1868, Céspedes y los independentistas tomaron la decisión de liberar a Cuba del colonialismo español....
