Esta obra recoge la información obtenida en persona por la Autora. Las historias son verídicas, pero la identidad de los entrevistados ha sido cuidadosamente protegida. Los entrevistados aceptaron su participación voluntaria sin recibir ninguna ganancia ahora, antes o después de publicado el libro, y solamente con el deseo de traer un gran beneficio a la sociedad y que existan cambios Universales en el tratamiento que reciben los homosexuales. En la elaboración de este libro se ha tratado de conservar en la medida de lo posible, la manera de hablar de los entrevistados y mantener un lenguaje de índole familiar. Los deseos de la Autora son de crear consciencia y comprensión en los padres, familiares, amigos y conocidos para todos los seres humanos dentro de la comunidad lesbiana, gay, bisexual o transexual (LGBT), que todos hemos sido creados en forma humana y con el gran privilegio del libre albedrio. Podemos escoger las normas estipuladas por los hombres y las Iglesias, o regirnos por las leyes estipuladas del Gran Creador, "que nos amemos los unos a los otros", sin distinguir clase, raza, o genero. Y UN MENSAJE para que ningún ser humano termine su vida terrenal por haber sido despreciado al unir su vida con otro del mismo sexo.

"You want the dreams they dreamed of to come true-Then They Do." That line from one of country music's best songs in recent memory pretty much sums up the way millions of parents feel about their children. Many times as they are growing up and driving you crazy, you dream of when they will be out of the house-and you will have your life back again-and then they do. Then They Do is filled with heartwarming, and sometimes tear-inducing, stories from parents about cherishing the moments with your children and celebrating the fine young men and women they have become. This book will serve as a reminder to parents to seize those moments when their tiny ones are still underfoot, and will be a nostalgia-inducing keepsake for those whose children have moved upwards and onwards. A fine gift for parents young and old or for grown children in the midst of raising their own families.

"Who are the censors of foreign literature? What motives influence them as they patrol the boundaries between cultures? Can cuts and changes sometimes save a book? What difference does it make when the text is for children, or designed for schools? These and other questions are explored in this wide-ranging international collection, with copious examples: from Catullus to Quixote, Petrarch to Shakespeare, Wollstonecraft to Waugh, Apuleius to Mansfield, how have migrating writers fared? We see many genres, from Celtic hero-tales to histories, autobiographies, polemics and even popular songs, transformed on their travels by the censor's hand."--BOOK JACKET.

In the early 1990s, a major exhibition Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation, 1965-1985 toured major museums around the United States. As a first attempt to define and represent Chicano/a art for a national audience, the exhibit attracted both praise and controversy, while raising fundamental questions about the nature of multiculturalism in the U.S. This book presents the first interdisciplinary cultural study of the CARA exhibit. Alicia Gaspar de Alba looks at the exhibit as a cultural text in which the Chicano/a community affirmed itself not as a "subculture" within the U.S. but as an "alter-Native" culture in opposition to the exclusionary and homogenizing practices of mainstream institutions. She also shows how the exhibit reflected the cultural and sexual politics of the Chicano Movement and how it serves as a model of Chicano/a popular culture more generally. Drawing insights from cultural studies, feminist theory, anthropology, and semiotics, this book constitutes a wide-ranging analysis of Chicano/a art, popular culture, and mainstream cultural politics. It will appeal to a diverse audience in all of these fields.
