Book Description
Meet Lady Sin: a Spanish Donessa who searches the seven seas on a quest for vengeance. It’s 1687, and pirate captain Blackjack Tom sets siege on a Spanish galleon. All the brave Spaniards are killed – save for one: the beautiful, aristocratic Donessa, who vows to take revenge. She seizes control of one of Blackjack Tom’s ships; is rechristened “Lady Sin,” the most bloodthirsty – and comeliest – lady pirate on the high seas; and sets sail to find her kidnapped mother and brother. This graphic novel, exquisitely drawn and colored by Steve Epting and Frank D’Aramta, brings the violent and swashbuckling era to vivid life. Chuck Dixon’s dark and action-paced story has a moral depth that may take novice graphic-novel readers by surprise. As Comic Book News said: "Forget those peg-leg walk-the-plank melodramas--Dixon and Epting are going for reality here with a pirate saga that captures the gritty truth of nautical adventures.”

Book Description
Like many Hispanic families in South Texas in the 1970s, Hector and Ana-Lucia Zapata wanted only their fair share of the American Dream. Instead, they found themselves on a path wrought from despair, horror, and betrayal. Hector discovers his employer, Hamilton Citrus Company, is illegally using a hazardous pesticide to maximize profits. After the harvest season, many of Weslaco's citizens suffer inexplicable and gruesome deaths. To protect the company's secret, Hamilton enlists the services of cartel leader, Agosto Morales. But what was supposed to be a routine job for the drug lord instead brings him face to face with an old and formidable enemy. While trying to save his town, Hector is neutralized at every turn by Agosto's corruptive influence. Morality and virtue collide violently with capitalism and greed. With time running out, Ana-Lucia turns to an old curandera for guidance, unleashing dark and volatile magic on the unsuspecting town. The ramifications of such powerful energies extend well beyond the borders of Weslaco and onto other planes of existence-where death is only the beginning. "Feminism, Oranges, and Witchcraft is a labyrinth of horror, popular culture, and social commentary that will keep you guessing until its powerful and grisly finale. A fun read for horror comic fans." -Ramsey Ramirez, South Texas Comic Con founder

Book Description
Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets born since the Revolution, like Rogelio Saunders, Omar Pérez, Alessandra Molina, and Javier Marimón. The translations, almost all of them new, convey the intensity and beauty of the accompanying Spanish originals. With their work deeply rooted in Cuban culture, many of these poets—both on and off the island—have been at the center of the political and social changes of this tempestuous period. The poems offered here constitute an essential source for understanding the literature and culture of Cuba, its diaspora, and the Caribbean at large, and provide an unparalleled perspective on what it means to be Cuban.

Book Description
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Dolores Moyano Martin, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 1977, and P. Sue Mundell was assistant editor from 1994 to 1998. The subject categories for Volume 56 are as follows: ∑ Electronic Resources for the Humanities ∑ Art ∑ History (including ethnohistory) ∑ Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) ∑ Philosophy: Latin American Thought ∑ Music
