Book Description
There is only one winner in boxing. Fighting against your opponent and fighting against your own inner demons become one in the same. Those who survive both in and out of the ring are beloved worldwide. Those who do not spiral downward into drugs, prison, and even murder. "[My] life's been pretty tragic," remarks Johnny. "But in the ring, it's been a blessing." Mi Vida Loca is not just a nickname for Johnny, but a legendary tale of a life lived over the edge and back.

Book Description
The award-winning memoir of life in an LA street gang from the acclaimed Chicano author and former Los Angeles Poet Laureate: “Fierce, and fearless” (The New York Times). Luis J. Rodríguez joined his first gang at age eleven. As a teenager, he witnessed the rise of some of the most notorious cliques in Southern California. He grew up knowing only a life of violence—one that revolved around drugs, gang wars, and police brutality. But unlike most of those around him, Rodríguez found a way out when art, writing, and political activism gave him a new path—and an escape from self-destruction. Always Running spares no detail in its vivid, brutally honest portrayal of street life and violence, and it stands as a powerful and unforgettable testimonial of gang life by one of the most acclaimed Chicano writers of his generation. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Luis J. Rodríguez including rare images from the author’s personal collection.

Book Description
In Buones Aires geboren, studierte Fabio Borquez Kunst und Architektur. Stipendien führten ihn nach Indien, Kolumbien und seit einigen Jahren lebt er in Deutschland. Er arbeitete als Architekt, bevor er sich ganz der Fotografie zuwandte. Regelmäßig reist er nach Südamerika, um Fotostrecken für den argentinischen Playboy und andere Magazine zu schießen. "Borquez-Akte wirken immer ehrlich, authentisch und direkt... Es lodert, wenn diese Frauen die Kleider ablegen und für ihn Sex-Appeal zeigen. Es brennt, wenn sie auf dem Sofa liegen und uns entgegenblicken. Wissend um diesen voyeuristischen Moment voll sinnlicher Anspannung. Fabio Borquez läßt die Frauen Vamp sein oder Mäuschen. Die meisten zeigen in diesem Augenblick mehr die Marlene, die Femme fatale, als den Unschuldsengel. Die Fotografie ist für ihn ein Spiel mit der Kamera, dessen Regeln der Augenblick schreibt. Und ständig ändert." Manfred Zollner, Stellv. Chefredakteur Fotomagazin

Book Description
As various nations wrestle with issues of immigration, integration, and pluralism, second-generation immigrants are exploring new ways to make sense of who they are and where they belong in the face of competing cultural demands. Dreaming in Canadian turns the spotlight on the role of Bollywood cinema in the production of cultural, religious, and national identities among South Asian youth in Toronto, Vancouver, and Ottawa. By documenting the voices of these young adults and how they draw on media in the formation of uniquely hybrid identities, this book interrogates the realities that underpin media portrayals of diaspora, nationalism, and multiculturalism.
