Book Description
In a riveting first-person account, Todd Ramón Ochoa explores Palo, a Kongo-inspired "society of affliction" that is poorly understood at the margins of Cuban popular religion. Narrated as an encounter with two teachers of Palo, the book unfolds on the outskirts of Havana as it recounts Ochoa's attempts to assimilate Palo praise of the dead. As he comes to terms with a world in which everyday events and materials are composed of the dead, Ochoa discovers in Palo unexpected resources for understanding the relationship between matter and spirit, for rethinking anthropology's rendering of sorcery, and for representing the play of power in Cuban society. The first fully detailed treatment of the world of Palo, Society of the Dead draws upon recent critiques of Western metaphysics as it reveals what this little known practice can tell us about sensation, transformation, and redemption in the Black Atlantic.

Book Description
In Salsa and Chips, Daniel Reveles welcomes us to Tecate, the enchanting dusty border town where no one is in a hurry and Time's winged chariot has broken down on Avenida Juarez. Wander through the plaza. Listen to the sweet madrigals of the taco man, the flower girl, and the fortune-telling canary. See the human flame-thrower and watch the bug-eater pop a spider in his mouth for a quarter. In these luminous novelas, Daniel Reveles serves up the vast banquet of life. Peppered with magical realism and cultural nuance, triumph and despair, passion and spice, each story is a delectable meal for the heart and soul. Meet El Flako, a hopeless bungler and his exasperated compadres; Father Ruben, who serves both God and his prodigious appetite with equal devotion; Dona Lala, the fantastic witch offering custom-brewed spells and incantations; and Treenie Contreras, a slippery scoundrel who will walk on water for a fee. Come and pay a visit to Tecate, where the air is like wine, the smiles are free, and day-to-day miracles have the power to change destiny.

Book Description
The Postcolonial World presents an overview of the field and extends critical debate in exciting new directions. It provides an important and timely reappraisal of postcolonialism as an aesthetic, political, and historical movement, and of postcolonial studies as a multidisciplinary, transcultural field. Essays map the terrain of the postcolonial as a global phenomenon at the intersection of several disciplinary inquiries. Framed by an introductory chapter and a concluding essay, the eight sections examine: Affective, Postcolonial Histories Postcolonial Desires Religious Imaginings Postcolonial Geographies and Spatial Practices Human Rights and Postcolonial Conflicts Postcolonial Cultures and Digital Humanities Ecocritical Inquiries in Postcolonial Studies Postcolonialism versus Neoliberalism The Postcolonial World looks afresh at re-emerging conditions of postcoloniality in the twenty-first century and draws on a wide range of representational strategies, cultural practices, material forms, and affective affiliations. The volume is an essential reading for scholars and students of postcolonialism.

Book Description
For more than twenty years, Luis Valdez, the most distinguished Latino playwright and director, has reserved most of his scripts for live stage productions. His two landmark published collections, Early Works and Zoot Suit and Other Plays, are only a sampling of his early master works and of the later plays that made it to the stage in the 1980s. Now, Valdez has finally opened his trunk to release print editions of a revised early work and two brand new, major dramas. Mummified Deer is ValdezÍs mature exploration of the Yaqui Indian roots of Mexican American culture and ValdezÍs own family. Returning to the format of the tent show, Valdez mines maternal psychology and Yaqui mysticism to demand that characters scale the full gamut of emotions. In this gut-wrenching piece, Mama Chu is the dominant, imposing figure who must reconcile the present with the past and unify the conflicting histories and identities of her family. Mundo Mata is the long-awaited drama of unionizing farm workers battling the agribusiness power structure in California while Mexican Americans are being sent off to battle brown-skinned enemies in Vietnam. Valdez assesses the toll that families have to pay to remain united against divisive forces. It all comes down to Reymundo, the antihero, who in the end must weigh existential and political questions. The Shrunken Head of Pancho Villa, ValdezÍs re-worked first play, still holds all the vision, spunk, and innovation of the young playwright. Injecting black humor into domestic drama, disembodied heads talk, mothers exchange roles with the patriarch, pachucos banter, and sell-outs become the mouthpieces for an oppressed communityall characters and themes that would dominate future plays of Valdez and subsequent Chicano literature.
