Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Raza sí!, guerra no!

"A fascinating and beautifully argued interpretation of how the American war in Southeast Asia affected Chicano communities. The author provides the most complete and well-documented study to date of this important chapter in U.S. history and its impact on an ethnic group with long-standing traditions of military service, assimilation, and resistance to injustice. Oropeza's book is what students of the Chicano Movement, especially the Mexican American role in antiwar activities during the Vietnam War period, have been waiting for."—George Mariscal, author of Aztlán and Viet Nam: Chicano and Chicana Experiences of the War "¡Raza Sí! ¡Guerra No! is a superb first book. Maintaining a balance between national context and the activism in the every day, Lorena Oropeza seeks to understand and contextualize antiwar activism among a generation of Mexican American youth. Bolstered with an array of archival sources and oral interviews, she carefully delineates the nature of political organizing among Mexican Americans across the Southwest. To her credit, Oropeza avoids a narrative of solidarity as she interrogates the internal messiness and contradictions of movement politics and the result is a finely nuanced interpretation of Chicano youth rebellion, one rooted firmly in ‘the politics of confrontation.’ I highly recommend it!"—Vicki L. Ruiz, University of California, Irvine "With this important study, Lorena Oropeza grapples with some of the central questions in the history of ethnic Mexicans in the United States. Although the central thrust of the work is an exploration of the evolution, political trajectory, and eventual implosion of the Chicano mobilization against war in Viet Nam, the study is ultimately a meditation on much larger questions involving Mexican American's political and cultural orientations, loyalties, and sense of status and place in American society. In these unsettled times, Oropeza's analysis of the relationship between war, citizenship, and masculinity should also contribute a much-needed reassessment of these important issues in contemporary American and Mexican life."—David G. Gutiérrez, author of Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the Politics of Ethnicity

La sabiduría de los bárbaros

Libro La sabiduría de los bárbaros

En este libro, Arnoldo Momigliano aborda el fenómeno histórico-cultural que tuvo lugar durante los siglos IV a I a. C., al entrar en profunda interacción cinco pueblos: griegos, romanos, judíos, celtas e iranos. El autor intenta dilucidar cuáles fueron y en qué condiciones se dieron las relaciones culturales entre estos pueblos y cómo ocurrió un hecho inusitado: la circulación internacional de las ideas.

Apoteosis de don Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Libro Apoteosis de don Pedro Calderón de la Barca

En Apoteosis de don Pedro Calderón de la Barca, José Zorrilla hace una apología a la hispanidad y al orgullo herido de un imperio que dio sus últimos estertores en el siglo XIX. El texto resulta interesante, incluso desde su idea épica de una estructura nacional, y merece un análisis más centrado en lo político que en la noción de "divertimento literario" con que fue concebido originalmente. Cabe concluir comentando que aquí la figura de Calderón de la Barca es presentada como un estandarte nacional, una reivindicación de ese orgullo imperial antes referido.
