Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton

Resumen del Ebook

Since the recent republication of her novel The Squatter and the Don, Mar�a Amparo Ruiz de Burton (1832?95) has become a key figure in the recovery of nineteenth-century Mexican American literature. An aristocratic Californiana, she championed the rights of Mexican Americans in novels, plays, and letters. Her 1885 novel called attention to the illegal appropriation of Mexican land by the United States government, and she critiqued the political mores of America after the Civil War in light of the Mexican-American war. Her keen assessment of corporate capitalism at the end of the nineteenth century, frank acknowledgment of feminine desire, and deft insights about economic realities and class relations were unique among her American peers. Using Ruiz de Burton?s work to analyze the critical schism conventionally imposed on nineteenth-century literary culture in America, the essays in this collection also draw connections between her work and the contemporary Chicana and Chicano canons. At once richly historical and critically nuanced, these essays appraise a politically complex Mexican American writer alternately celebrated as marginalized and censured for her identification with a social elite. This volume includes a section on pedagogy that offers a discussion of teaching approaches, syllabi, discussion questions, and assignments.

La fractura mexicana

Con la incisiva inteligencia de Roger Bartra, este libro está dedicado a explorar, analizar y criticar los problemas de la izquierda y la derecha en la coyuntura actual. Una brillante y profunda exploración de la fractura del sistema político mexicano. La transición democrática mexicana ha sufrido una grave herida a consecuencia de las elecciones presidenciales de 2006. La situación es peligrosa porque en México no se viven las peculiares divisiones políticas propias de una pluralidad democrática, sino las secuelas de una profunda fractura. Las dos grandes fuerzas que emergieron de...

Lope de Vega crítico de Góngora

Edición anotada y estudio del conjunto de epístolas escritas entre 1621 y 1624 por Lope de Vega y por el erudito segoviano Diego de Colmenares en el marco de la polémica suscitada por el gran eco y éxito que habían obtenido los llamados “poemas mayores” (especialmente el Polifemo y las Soledades) de Luis de Góngora.

Cartografías cosmopolitas

Cartografías cosmopolitas: León de Greiff y la tradición literaria analyzes the poetic works of this twentieth-century Colombian writer as a manifestation of cosmopolitanism, global cultural cartographies, and a self-fashioned poetic genealogy. Ramírez Rojas approaches de Greiff’s poems as cultural maps that reveal both a desire of connectivity with the world and a need for reorganizing the imaginary library of world literature. From a self-assumed position of eccentricity, de Greiff builds a network of global connections and disputes the binary division of cultural centers and...
