Juanita's Statue
Author: Anne García-RomeroPublisher:
ISBN: 9780881455625
Category : American drama
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
In a Spanglish-speaking land, Juanita disguises herself as a man to escape the wrath of her lover Ignacio's father. Masquerading as a "new" Don Juan, she careens through the city and seduces Alejandra, a wealthy art collector, Tomas, a leather bar patron and Beatriz, an innocent, society bride, who all fall instantly in love with him/her. Juanita's romp soon lands her squarely at the feet of Don Juan himself as she struggles to find true love. "The power of language creates worlds, realms and most importantly, relationships ... that power is evident as Juanita, a young woman living in a Spanglish-speaking land, tries on a different persona in order to escape from her lover's angry father and potential shame in her community." -Elaine Noble, Nevada Today "Throughout the play, 'Don Juanita' draws more and more attention to herself, attracting the love and care of a multitude of people along the way. The social aspects of the play are fascinating because Juanita basically tries to deconstruct what being a Don Juan is and strives to create a better version of him." -Juan Lopez, The Nevada Sagebrush"

Book Description
How was Chile transformed both politically and economically during the two decades of center-left coalition (Concertación) government that followed the country¿s return to democracy in 1990?

Addressing these questions, the authors of this landmark volume critically assess the successes and failures of Concertación politics and policies in post-Pinochet Chile.

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This volume illustrates the sweeping changes in Cuban foreign policy under Raúl Castro. Leading scholars from around the world show how the significant shift in foreign policy direction that started in 1990 after the implosion of the Soviet Union has continued, in many ways taking totally unexpected paths—as is shown by the move toward the normalization of relations with Washington. Providing a systematic overview of Cuba’s relations with the United States, Latin America, Russia, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, this book will be invaluable for courses on contemporary Cuba.

Ecocritical Theory
Author: Axel GoodbodyPublisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813931630
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
One of the more frequently lodged, serious, and justifiable complaints about ecocritical work is that it is insufficiently theorized. Ecocritical Theory puts such claims decisively to rest by offering readers a comprehensive collection of sophisticated but accessible essays that productively investigate the relationship between European theory and ecocritique. With its international roster of contributors and subjects, it also militates against the parochialism of ecocritics who work within the limited canon of the American West. Bringing together approaches and orientations based on the work of European philosophers and cultural theorists, this volume is designed to open new pathways for ecocritical theory and practice in the twenty-first century.
Indigenous Peoples and Autonomy
Author: Mario BlaserPublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774859342
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
The passage of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007 focused attention on the ways in which Indigenous peoples are adapting to the pressures of globalization and development. This volume extends the discussion by presenting case studies from around the world that explore how Indigenous peoples are engaging with and challenging globalization and Western views of autonomy. Taken together, these insightful studies reveal that concepts such as globalization and autonomy neither encapsulate nor explain Indigenous peoples' experiences.
