Book Description
Un hombre puede conquistar a una mujer en una forma. Si se acerca al tipo de caballeros de sus sueños de niña, entonces ella cerrará los ojos a sus pequeños defectos. Ella encontrará en ella lo que emocionará su fantasía. Estos pueden ser hermosas manos grandes o dedos. La mujer misma pensará que un hombre puede levantarse con estas manos.

Book Description
Is gender learned or innate? This controversial play asks the question: what happens if you raise a boy to sew and behave as a girl, and raise his sister to fight as a soldier? For the first time ever, Guillén de Castro's La fuerza de la costumbre ('The Force of Habit') will be available to English and Spanish audiences with a performance-tested translation on facing pages. Castro's plot is unique in that, unlike other cross dressing plays, the children do not traverse gender boundaries by choice; instead complications arising from their parents' problematic marriage dictate the gender they should perform. This new Spanish edition (the first since 1927) and performance-tested English translation will begin a new discussion of this understudied work and its implications among Hispanists, comparatists, performance theorists, and gender scholars. The critical apparatus includes a biography of the author, textual history, editorial methodology, metrical analysis, bibliography and notes on the text. Machit's introductory essay, 'Bad Habits: Gender Made and Remade in La fuerza de la costumbre' aims to contextualize and investigate the most salient questions raised by Castro's gender-bending play.

Book Description
Voices from the Ancestors brings together the reflective writings and spiritual practices of Xicanx, Latinx, and Afro-Latinx womxn and male allies in the United States who seek to heal from the historical traumas of colonization by returning to ancestral traditions and knowledge. This wisdom is based on the authors’ oral traditions, research, intuitions, and lived experiences—wisdom inspired by, and created from, personal trajectories on the path to spiritual conocimiento, or inner spiritual inquiry. This conocimiento has reemerged over the last fifty years as efforts to decolonize lives, minds, spirits, and bodies have advanced. Yet this knowledge goes back many generations to the time when the ancestors understood their interconnectedness with each other, with nature, and with the sacred cosmic forces—a time when the human body was a microcosm of the universe. Reclaiming and reconstructing spirituality based on non-Western epistemologies is central to the process of decolonization, particularly in these fraught times. The wisdom offered here appears in a variety of forms—in reflective essays, poetry, prayers, specific guidelines for healing practices, communal rituals, and visual art, all meant to address life transitions and how to live holistically and with a spiritual consciousness for the challenges of the twenty-first century.

Book Description
Parece imposible que esto ocurra, quien lo escuche creerá que estoy loca, no me van a entender, solo por su propia experiencia podrán comprobar que nos les digo mentiras, que no los engaño. Todo lo que hacemos tiene efectos que no se ven ni se sienten pero existen, son tan reales como tocarme la cara, mirar el cielo, escuchar tu voz, pensar, sentir, caminar...hechos que afectan tu vida, tu entorno, a los que están a tu lado de una u otra manera. Esas cosas, actitudes, decisiones y pensamientos de lo cotidiano trascienden a lo sobrenatural, a lo desconocido a lo inimaginable a lo impensable. Todo lo que nos ha pasado en tan corto tiempo, lo que hemos vivido es una locura inesperada, insospechada. ¿Qué me iba yo a imaginar que pasaría por todo esto? ¿A dónde llegaremos? ¿Qué nos tocará vivir? ¿Quiénes sí y quiénes no sobrevivirán? ¿Con los que amo, los que conozco y no conozco que pasará? No puedo dejar que las cosas sigan como si nada pasara, tengo que hacer todo lo que esté a mi alcance así tenga que dar mi vida para evitarlo, para que entiendan, para que me escuchen. No lo puedo hacer sola, necesito tu compañía, necesito tu apoyo, necesito tu fortaleza, tu consejo, el camino es muy duro, complejo y difícil pero contigo sé que todo puede ser mucho más fácil, te necesitan, nos necesitan, te necesito, sé que puedes, sé que quieres, sé que amas ¡Ayúdame por favor!

Book Description
The new international division of labor and the imposition of structural adjustment on Third World countries has necessitated a reexamination of development policies and a reevaluation of the role of gender in their success or failure. Although women often bear the heaviest burden under structural adjustment, there is also considerable evidence of women being empowered through their responses to the challenges of economic restructuring. Based on case study material from Eastern Europe, the Islamic nations, Africa, China, and Latin America, this volume explores the significant contributions women make to the wealth and well-being of their families and nations. The contributors argue persuasively that women may hold the key to sustainable development, an increasingly critical issue at a time when policymakers are reconsidering the full costs and benefits of a growth-fixated development model. One of the first to embody the new “gender and development” paradigm, this book reports on research at the frontiers of knowledge and theory about the gendered outcomes of economic transformation, restructuring, and social change. By incorporating “voices from the South,” it makes a provocative addition to our understanding of the political economy of development and of the relationship between world ecology and the world economy.

Book Description
Honorable Mention, Barbara T. Christian Literary Award, Caribbean Studies Association, 2017 In the wake of the 1959 Cuban Revolution, a key state ideology developed: racism was a systemic cultural issue that ceased to exist after the Revolution, and any racism that did persist was a result of contained cases of individual prejudice perpetuated by US influence. Even after the state officially pronounced the end of racism within its borders, social inequalities tied to racism, sexism, and homophobia endured, and, during the economic liberalization of the 1990s, widespread economic disparities began to reemerge. Cuban Underground Hip Hop focuses on a group of self-described antiracist, revolutionary youth who initiated a social movement (1996–2006) to educate and fight against these inequalities through the use of arts-based political activism intended to spur debate and enact social change. Their “revolution” was manifest in altering individual and collective consciousness by critiquing nearly all aspects of social and economic life tied to colonial legacies. Using over a decade of research and interviews with those directly involved, Tanya L. Saunders traces the history of the movement from its inception and the national and international debates that it spawned to the exodus of these activists/artists from Cuba and the creative vacuum they left behind. Shedding light on identity politics, race, sexuality, and gender in Cuba and the Americas, Cuban Underground Hip Hop is a valuable case study of a social movement that is a part of Cuba’s longer historical process of decolonization.
