Founder Ramon Balderas Sanchez was born and raised in Mexico City, but moved to Paris to study at the conservatory. After he came to live in the Netherlands he decided to keep working with his Mexican roots and founded the band Tierra Caliente (named after a region in Mexico) in 1986. Tierra Caliente consists of two Dutch female violin players, a salsero-trumpet player from the Bronx and three Mexican musicians. The fact that two members of the band are females is rather unusual for a mariachi- http://www.deepdiscount.com/pjx/8712618300527/?utm_source=PJX&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Banner http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/300/7/5/7/8/1448757.jpg http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/50/7/5/7/8/1448757.jpg 17.99 17.84 1.99 Media > CD new 8712618300527 0.21000 Tierra Caliente CD MIT753432 Destination (IMPORT) Destination (IMPORT) Sten - CD 5013145801222 http://www.deepdiscount.com/pjx/5013145801222/?utm_source=PJX&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Banner http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/300/0/8/7/8/1448780.jpg http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/50/0/8/7/8/1448780.jpg 12.98 7.79 1.99 Media > CD new 5013145801222 0.23000 Sten CD NWR806612 Stroke That Kills Stroke That Kills Seth Josel - CD 093228066125 http://www.deepdiscount.com/pjx/093228066125/?utm_source=PJX&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Banner http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/300/4/0/8/8/1448804.jpg http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/50/4/0/8/8/1448804.jpg 19.98 18.16 1.99 Media > CD new 093228066125 0.24000 Seth Josel CD SRD189712 Legendary Voices Legendary Voices Adelaide Saraceni - CD 717281897129 http://www.deepdiscount.com/pjx/717281897129/?utm_source=PJX&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Banner http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/300/3/1/8/8/1448813.jpg http://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/50/3/1/8/8/1448813.jpg 22.98 19.87 1.99 Media > CD new 717281897129 0.17000 Ade

Experimental, inventive, provocative and above all visionary, Gloria Anzaldúa's work is widely recognized among scholars of Chicano/Latino, Gay and Lesbian, Women's, Postcolonial, Ethnic and Cultural Studies as a foundational elaboration of the politics and poetics of cultural hybridity. Both Borderlands/La Frontera and Making Face/Making Soul: Haciendo Caras are all about understanding the complex and competing social, political and cultural forces that shape-sometimes quite brutally-the experiences of women of color in the U.S., and they are all about taking that understanding and mobilizing it toward creative and revisionary efforts for making social change."One of the 100 Best Books of the Twentieth Century"-Hungry Mind Review (Spring 1999)"Anzaldúa's voyage of discovery, focused on the border and the new mestiza, is a preparation for the future. The border is a bundle of contradictions and ambiguities... This hybrid crossroads is just the right kind of training ground. It is fertile area for mutations and transformations. In Borderlands/ La Frontera, Gloria Anzaldúa is our guide with an all-encompassing vision to charge the border with meaning."-The Americas Review"[She] explores in prose and poetry the murky, precarious existence of those living on the frontier between cultures and languages. . . .she meditates on the conditions of Chicanos in Anglo culture, women in Hispanic culture, and lesbians in the straight world. ...a powerful document."-Library JournalA "Best of 1987" Library Journal selection."Anzaldúa's vision encompasses spiritual and experiential aspects of female power, as well as the day-to-day courage and struggle that has characterized Chicano survival."-The San Francisco Chronicle

Cultural Writing. Essays. Latino/Latina Studies. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldua's experience as a Chicana, a lesbian, an activist, and a writer, the groundbreaking essays and poems in this volume profoundly challenged how we think about identity. BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA remapped our understanding of what a "border" is, seeing it not as a simple divide between here and there, us and them, but as a psychic, social, and cultural terrain that we inhabit, and that inhabits all of us. This twentieth-anniversary edition features new commentaries from prominent activists, artists, and teachers on the legacy of Gloria Anzaldua's visionary work.

Idioma/Language: Español. Madrid, 1597. Francisca Pizarro Yupanqui, la primera mestiza noble del Perú, heredera de las dos fuerzas imperantes y enfrentadas, una de las mujeres más poderosas y ricas de la época, comienza a redactar de su puño y letra el relato oculto de su larga y azarosa existencia, en una confesión dirigida a quienes deberán juzgar y defender su memoria mestiza. Desde su infancia en Lima, cuando con solo siete años debe huir para salvar su vida y la de su hermano tras el brutal asesinato de su padre, hasta sus días en la corte de Felipe II, la Mestiza, suculenta pieza en el damero de la Conquista, irá narrando una existencia que discurre entre las ansias de ser libre y los dictados del apellido Pizarro y de la estirpe imperial materna. Una lucha por salvaguardar lo que ama y recuperar lo que por derecho le pertenecía, en la que la fiereza del amor adquiere una dimensión extraordinaria. Su alma, curtida en el estruendo de la guerra, hubo de enfrentar el fin de lo alcanzado por su padre con la llegada del despótico primer virrey del Perú, comenzando una cruzada personal repleta de traiciones, brutalidad, pérdidas terribles, y un amor condenado. Épica y conmovedora, en esta hermosa novela, que aúna el rigor con una recreación histórica rica y cuidada, conoceremos, desde el punto de vista privilegiado de la mestiza, las intrigas de la corte y las luchas de poder en el Perú, las batallas y los ritos del Incario. Pero también la vida cotidiana de las mujeres españolas e indias, fuertes y sabias, sus recetas, sus cuitas y oraciones, las voces y olores de la selva y las de las cumbres sagradas andinas, los mensajes del agua y los rumores de las calles del Viejo y el Nuevo Mundo. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa's experience as a Chicana, a lesbian, an activist, and a writer, the essays and poems in this volume profoundly challenged, and continue to challenge, how we think about identity. Borderlands / La Frontera remaps our understanding of what a "border" is, presenting it not as a simple divide between here and there, us and them, but as a psychic, social, and cultural terrain that we inhabit, and that inhabits all of us.This twenty-fifth anniversary edition features a new introduction by scholars Norma Cantú (University of Texas at San Antonio) and Aída Hurtado (University of California at Santa Cruz) as well as a revised critical bibliography.Gloria Anzaldúa was a Chicana-tejana-lesbian-feminist poet, theorist, and fiction writer from south Texas. She was the editor of the critical anthology Making Face/Making Soul: Haciendo Caras (Aunt Lute Books, 1990), co-editor of This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, and winner of the Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award. She taught creative writing, Chicano studies, and feminist studies at University of Texas, San Francisco State University, Vermont College of Norwich University, and University of California Santa Cruz. Anzaldúa passed away in 2004 and was honored around the world for shedding visionary light on the Chicana experience by receiving the National Association for Chicano Studies Scholar Award in 2005. Gloria was also posthumously awarded her doctoral degree in literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz. A number of scholarships and book awards, including the Anzaldúa Scholar Activist Award and the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Award for Independent Scholars, are awarded in her name every year.

The Codex Trujillo (ca. 1782-1785), also known as the Codex Martnez Compann, is a manuscript edited by Baltasar Jaime Martnez ompann, bishop of Trujillo, Peru. It contains 1,411 watercolors and 20 musical scores documenting the life in the diocese. It shows how baroque pieces imported from western Europe were enriched by the local tradition, creating a unique Mtis (a blend of American Indian Euro-American) repertoire. Jordi Savall entitled his program of musical selections from the Codex Ba

Dorothy Dore was born in the Philippines to a British father who served there in the Spanish American War, and to a Filipina mestiza mother. This young woman was attending an exclusive private school when Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7, 1941. The Japanese Imperial Army made a swift invasion of the Philippines, and Dorothy's life became a nightmare. As recounted in this moving memoir, Dorothy studied nursing so that she could support the United States Armed Forces Far East (USAFFE). She spent the war years on the run, working for the USAFFE when she could, but abandoning those duties when her family was in need. Dorothy recalls the sacrifices of her family, the brutal treatment of civilians by the Japanese, and the vainglorious actions of some of the USAFFE guerrilla leaders. It is a compelling story of love, loss, family, courage, and survival during an especially horrifying time.

Born in the Río Grande Valley of south Texas, independent scholar and creative writer Gloria Anzaldúa was an internationally acclaimed cultural theorist. As the author of Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza, Anzaldúa played a major role in shaping contemporary Chicano/a and lesbian/queer theories and identities. As an editor of three anthologies, including the groundbreaking This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, she played an equally vital role in developing an inclusionary, multicultural feminist movement. A versatile author, Anzaldúa published poetry, theoretical essays, short stories, autobiographical narratives, interviews, and children’s books. Her work, which has been included in more than 100 anthologies to date, has helped to transform academic fields including American, Chicano/a, composition, ethnic, literary, and women’s studies.This reader—which provides a representative sample of the poetry, prose, fiction, and experimental autobiographical writing that Anzaldúa produced during her thirty-year career—demonstrates the breadth and philosophical depth of her work. While the reader contains much of Anzaldúa’s published writing (including several pieces now out of print), more than half the material has never before been published. This newly available work offers fresh insights into crucial aspects of Anzaldúa’s life and career, including her upbringing, education, teaching experiences, writing practice and aesthetics, lifelong health struggles, and interest in visual art, as well as her theories of disability, multiculturalism, pedagogy, and spiritual activism. The pieces are arranged chronologically; each one is preceded by a brief introduction. The collection includes a glossary of Anzaldúa’s key terms and concepts, a timeline of her life, primary and secondary bibliographies, and a detailed index.

Idioma/Language: Español. Catálogo de la exposición celebrada en el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, 5 abril-15 agosto de 2016, organizada con el Centro Pompidou. Iniciador de una pintura mestiza que unía modernismo occidental y símbolos africanos y caribeños, Wifredo Lam (Sagua La Grande, 1902-París, 1982) se codeó con todas las vanguardias del momento, afrontando también los problemas del mundo. La exposición vuelve sobre la génesis de su trabajo pero también sobre las diversas etapas y condiciones de la recepción e integración progresivas de una obra pacientemente construida entre España, París-Marsella y Cuba. Traza la singular trayectoria del artista a través de doscientas cincuenta obras pinturas, dibujos, grabados, cerámicas completada con más de trescientos documentos cartas, fotografías, revistas, libros. Este vasto material ilumina el contexto de su trabajo y de su pensamiento, deteniéndose en sus años en España (1923-1938), en los sorprendentes grabados de los años sesenta y setenta y en sus colaboraciones con los más destacados escritores de su tiempo, así como en las obras capitales creadas a la vuelta a su Cuba natal (1940-1950), y, en definitiva, muestra una vida comprometida dentro de un siglo agitado. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

El escritor e historiador peruano Inca Garcilaso de la Vega se afanó para aunar las dos vertientes de su condición mestiza, cultivando las artes de la tradición literaria española y preservando la tradición oral y costumbres del Tahuantinsuyo. Por esta posición privilegiada, y a pesar de ciertas contradicciónes e imprecisiones en sus textos, se le considera el mas firme historiador del Perú y de la cultura incaica, que recogió en un ambicioso proyecto denominado Los Comentarios Reales. Éste fue diseñado en dos partes. La primera se publicó en Lisboa en 1609, con el título Primera parte de los Comentarios Reales, que es la edición que recogemos aqui, bajo el título de Comentarios Reales de los Incas, denominación más extendida en la actualidad. En ella se recogen las costumbres y hechos más notables del imperio Inca hasta la llegada de los conquistadores españoles. En la segunda parte, publicada en Córdoba en 1617 con el título de Historia General del Perú, se relatan los acontecimientos de la conquista, las rebeliones de los Incas y posteriores guerras civiles por el control del nuevo Imperio.

In this novel of the mestizo, or mixed-blood, Frank Waters completes the Southwestern canvas begun in The Man Who Killed the Deer and People of the Valley. Set in a violent Mexican border town, the story centers on Barby, a tormented mestizo, Guadalupe, the mestiza “percentage-girl,” and Tai-Ling, the serene yogi. Their fates mingle though each remains alone—Barby bound to the brute rages of the night; Guadalupe unconscious of all save the sun of her sexuality; Tai-Ling believing it is possible to transcend completely the flow of life.

The critically acclaimed, award-winning author of the classic historical novel Segu, Maryse Condé has pieced together the life of her maternal grandmother to create a moving and profound novel. Maryse Condé's personal journey of discovery and revelation becomes ours as we learn of Victoire, her white-skinned mestiza grandmother who worked as a cook for the Walbergs, a family of white Creoles, in the French Antilles. Using her formidable skills as a storyteller, Condé describes her grandmother as having "Australian whiteness for the color of her skin...She jarred with my world of women in Italian straw bonnets and men necktied in three-piece linen suits, all of them a very black shade of black. She appeared to me doubly strange." Victoire was spurred by Condé's desire to learn of her family history, resolving to begin her quest by researching the life of her grandmother. While uncovering the circumstances of Victoire's unique life story, Condé also comes to grips with a haunting question: How could her own mother, a black militant, have been raised in the Walberg's home, a household of whites? Creating a work that takes readers into a time and place populated with unforgettable characters that inspire and amaze, Condé's blending of memoir and imagination, detective work and storytelling artistry, is a literary gem that readers won't soon forget.
