Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Latinx Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Edited by Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez and Norma Cantú. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa's experiences growing up near the U.S./Mexico border, BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA remaps our understanding of borders as psychic, social, and cultural terrains that we inhabit and that inhabit us all. Drawing heavily on archival research and a comprehensive literature review while contextualizing the book within her theories and writings before and after its 1987 publication, this critical edition elucidates Anzaldúa's complex composition process and its centrality in the development of her philosophy. It opens with two introductory studies; offers a corrected text, explanatory footnotes, translations, and four archival appendices; and closes with an updated bibliography of Anzaldúa's works, an extensive scholarly bibliography on Borderlands, a brief biography, and a short discussion of the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Papers. "Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez's meticulous archival work and Norma Elia Cantú's life experience and expertise converge to offer a stunning resource for Anzaldúa scholars; for writers, artists, and activists inspired by her work; and for everyone. Hereafter, no study of Borderlands will be complete without this beautiful, essential reference."--Paola Bacchetta

A sweeping historical epic by an author whose novels have sold over 6 million copies worldwide. 1861. A ruined silver-mine owner sets sail from Mexico City to seek his fortune in the New World. Mauro Larrera has just four months to pay his creditors, or his bankruptcy will be revealed and his family’s honour will be in tatters. In magnificent Havana — home to beautiful women and dangerous men who deal in mysterious trades — he gambles what little he has left on what will become the greatest adventure of his life … A Vineyard in Andalusia is a novel of glories and defeats; of silver mines, family secrets, vineyards, cellars, and splendid cities of faded grandeur; of unexpected passion, and love in the strangest of circumstances. Once again, María Dueñas’ powerful storytelling and rich historical detail transport us to a faraway time and place, and on an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime.

Exceptional Crime in Early Modern Spain accounts for the representation of violent and complex murders, analysing the role of the criminal, its portrayal through rhetorical devices, and its cultural and aesthetic impact. Proteic traits allow for an understanding of how crime is constructed within the parameters of exception, borrowing from pre-existent forms while devising new patterns and categories such as criminography, the “star killer”, the staging of crimes as suicides, serial murders, and the faking of madness. These accounts aim at bewildering and shocking demanding readers through a carefully displayed cult to excessive behaviour. The arranged “economy of death” displayed in murder accounts will set them apart from other exceptional instances, as proven by their long-standing presence in subsequent centuries.

NUESTRO OBJETIVO Esta historia es un homenaje a todos aquellos que han superado desventajas: físicas, económicas y sociales; es también un homenaje a quienes apoyan a los que tienen menos, para que puedan seguir adelante. De allí el nombre "DE TRIPAS, UN CORAZON" (de algo que NO vale se puede HACER algo de valor). Esta novela tiene sus principios en una terrible tragedia, cuando en el año 1970, el Personaje Adán Rodríguez, un joven latino que perdió a su madre, quien era su único sostén y por esas circunstancias de la vida, se encontró con un muchacho de la calle, personificado por Roco Santer. Estos dos muchachos destinados a perder llegaron al pequeño apartamento del "Pastor Elías" y "Ela Cosme", quienes a pesar de sus limitados recursos económicos no los rechazaron, inculcándoles que la FE es: Confiar y trabajar fuerte con los talentos que tenemos, creer que si se puede y que las desventajas son bendiciones envueltas en papeles toscos. Todos tenemos la alternativa de dejar lo que encontramos: Como está... Peor... o Mejor. "EL PUEBLO SIN VISION PERECE"- dice El LIBRO de los LIBROS. José Antonio Velásquez Ochoa
